Howdy, I have to go to Bolton to pick up my car in the next few weeks and also need to order a load of parts for my MR2 and was thinking of maybe getting the parts sent to somewhere along the way that I can pick them up so I dont get smashed with postage to Ireland and other charges ;) Any...

Engine rebuilt on Thursday... Can't wait to get her back on the road

A ct9 is a good size for a mower!

Really important if you are running over 1bar of boost on the mower... And let's face it if you are running any less than 1bar... Are you even mowing?!?

I ain't talking about the mower... The Jerry can!

You said it! Brought a Jerry can down to get petrol for the lawnmower and it cost me 50 quid to fill it!

careful or I will post a picture of my series III landrover.....

Lying up since 2014. Its a rev5 turbo jap import. Since taking a proper look I think it may have been in a front tip before and the really rusty shit is from the donor car that was used to replace it. Everything else is really grand including the sills so hopefully the road ahead won't be as...
