How do we identify as a club member? Just telling them? As they are local to me I might as well treat my new Omega  

You have too put your right arm under your left leg to shake his hand, oh and you have got to show your left nipple at the same time

Thought that was only for female customers.

Nope. They have to show both at once. The hand shake is optional too.

He almost sounds like YODA

Hmmm. Of TheBoy and Caravans must we in the sentence same not mention make, and in his name the spelling of must we very careful be.

NO, not again, that is very bad luck!  try a different mot place?

With the computerised system they have they'd probably see straight away that it'd just failed on handbrake. Besides, there isn't much room for discretion when it's a measured value that's either below or above the limit.  :-/

« on: 10 February 2008, 23:03:18 »

You might find a little sealant has cured and formed a "plug" in the neck of the tube but once you've shifted that I'd say the rest of the tube will be fine.

Sounds reasonable if it runs fine when hot.

In addition, if it's a single point injection model there's an electric heater in the base of the inlet manifold  to pre-heat it. Might be that that's broken, and also check the air operated flap valve for the warm air intake.

I think KevinW got a set for £35 is off ABS?

Yep. From Dave Kember as advertised in the back of straight 6 news. £35 including postage for the filter and 2 gaskets.

Fluid from Opie oils (remember to register as an OOF member for discount). Fuchs 4000 for about 40 quid for 10 litres, IIRC.

Last time I went to the doctors there was a leaflet in the waiting room about coffee. Said it's a myth that it's bad for you and it can be quite beneficial. Suggest you pick one up for SWMBO's perusal!

I mostly drink it at work, where we have a nice bean-to-cup machine, and where I need it to stay awake.

.. and don't bother going to Cite`D Europe on a Sunday (or anywhere else for that matter). Oh, how distraught I was when we turned up there ready for Mrs. KW to drag me round the shops and all that could be seen was tumbleweed.

Last time I saw guys washing cars in a supermarket car park one of them was struggling across the car park with a trolley load of "Value" washing up liquid.

Local Taxi guy who sometimes takes me to Heathrow has got a 406 coupe. I remember thinking it was a nice car, actually. Leather interior and not bad looking. Felt a bit firmly sprung compared to the Omega and it's a 4 pot tractor, which isn't ideal.  :-/

I'm heartened to see it got the ES V6 not the nasty PRV one that my dad had in his Espace.

The BMW in Ronan did have a girl driving it too, though

Ronin

Ahh, that had a mad car chase, IIRC. BMW 5 series saloon and Peugeot 604 - or 406?

Was a great bit of filming, at any rate, although the Peugeot keeping up seemed a bit "improbable".

the car in the opening scene of the italian job?

Hmm. I think it was a Miura ... Or a Maserati Bora / Merak?  :-/

I'll go with the Miura I think.

Bond in :The man with the golden gun"

Was watching this the other week. AMC Hornet, wasn't it? (for the car chase, anyway). Looked a bit of a POS to me...
