Anyone going to get this game when it comes out? I certainly will. I've got Bad Company 1 and it's a very enjoyable game, especially online. I just love the way you can deform the terrain and destroy buildings. I've also got Battlefield: 1943 and that's very enjoyable too. Anyway, B:BC2...

After what seems like months of searching (it was actually 4 weeks or so) I finally found a nice MX-5. She's a 1.8 Eunos with 149,000km's on the clock, electric windows and power steering. She drives and handles brilliantly and pulled 136bhp and 114lbs.ft at a Rolling Road today. The 1.8's...

A funny parody site if ever I did see one. :haha: http://twat.me.uk/

The Bitch has provisionally been sold pending receipt of a deposit. I've been discussing her with someone fairly local to me and he saw her tonight and has decided to buy her to fix and use as a track/weekend toy, thus ending a two and a half year Love/Hate relationship. I'm happy that she's...

Lazareth Wazuma. Sounds like a sex toy or something else rude like that. Well, it is rude, but in other ways. Remember that nuts Subaru quad thing that was kicking about the Internet a while back? No? Here it is... It's basically the engine and drivetrain from an Impreza bartardised into...

I need a favour to ask of those MOT testers here. I forget who it was, but someone posted this... And chance you can get me the flow chart for diesels for more modern cars? Ta very muchly. :)

Seeing as both of my cars are currently borked and Mrs Fish is away in Ireland visiting relatives, she very kindly let me borrow her Lupo from last Wednesday. It's only the 75bhp 1.4 S, but it's quite nippy and fun to drive to be fair. I gave it a wash on Saturday and took some photos of it...

Some of you may have noticed that The Bitch is no longer for sale. Here's why... On Wednesday on the way home from work, the Starlet overheated in epic fashion and shat the headgasket to bits. I had water boiling out of the rocker cover breather and she was running like an absolute pig. She...

I'm after a stock exhaust manifold. No cracks or damage please. PM if you have one. :)

...does anybody have any? Here's a video of my Cockatiel, Merlin, trying to whistle "Wish Me Luck As You Wave Me Goodbye"... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EPHAIR-aNw Daft bastard! He's 16 years old and occasionally does a phone impression. Losing the plot I reckon. :haha:

My Whiteline panhard rod is clunking like a motherfucker at the moment despite tightening the bolt up several times. I suspect the threads are fucked and are slowly eating themselves, although I need to take it off and check. The rod snapping is obviously not a good thing and certainly something...

Ok then Rabies and Mentalmen, tyre time. There are always questions about how best to improve the Starlets standard and somewhat lacklustre handling, with all manner of options and suggestions given. One thing that almost always seems to be overlooked is tyres. They're the only thing keeping...
