It has large straight through silencers ,2.1/4 bore I think. They are a good 2ft long with one on each bank that then go to an X pipe with the tail pipes exiting before rear wheels. No cat to restrict!!

//TB ponders if he accidentally left his car in Thame* one day, would it come back clean and polished.


*not that I ever park in Thame.  Me and the female traffic warden back in the 80s didn't get along.  One evening I took her for a drink and is kiss and a cuddle, and the bitch still ticketed me the next day. Bitch.

When we first started the LS1 in Robs Omega, that was without manifolds... Sounded pretty gnarly  >:D

Not ‘You can’t park there’ Peggy was it.  ;D 
She used to appear out of nowhere at the most inopportune moment, just when you’d pulled up to post a letter. ;D

There are rules to such things, but guessing you were young and stupid, you've learned from the experience... >:D

Basically ignored it. It desperately needs a bath after Glendales decided to strim the South Terminal long stay car park last week. They had 361 other days to do it so they didn't. >:(

Borrowed a trailer & collected a couple of tons of stone for our next project with the barn conversion, will be aching tomorrow after offloading it.

New house rangie? Sounds like you've got big plans!


Used the galaxy to collect a deck's worth of decking from the local builders' merchants. Then treated it to the service I didn't have time to do a few weeks ago because I found the timing belt to be such a b!tch to do.

Fuel and air filter is fine, oil filter is in a place only a fu£king french p!ss artist would choose to put it and changing it meant cutting a 27mm spanner in half  >:(. I then had half an hour upside down in the passenger footwell to change the cabin filter. At least I know it was worth while though as all filters that came out were worse than manky  :-X.

Blonde, about late twenties in the late 80s, so probably mid 60s now. Miserable cow ;D

I was a teenager, it had a pulse and was ok looking as well.

Maybe my performance was not up to snuff ;D, although I suspect she just had an evil streak!

If it was, she'd mellowed.  She used to slap the tickets on without a word, even if I was stood right next to the van.

No this is an "investment project" my son in law is a builder & work went quiet just after Christmas, this property came in at a bargain auction buy so after a fair bit of work we should both do well out of it. Luckily we've got a cash buyer waiting deposit paid and legalities sorted.
