  1. A biker group that I occasionally use on MSN have a whole section of the forum DEDICATED to death threats... and theres only like 40 or so if us on there.... scattered around the uk mainly, but with like one or two in canada... its all fun...
  2. Oh and I forgot to say that he slags every one off the same, the rich the poor the foreign, chav, boring... i would be too offended...
  3. Even the classics had the dccd... Its by no means a new thing.... it was just thats the uk cars never had it till the later new ages...
  4. Oh, and classics RULE!
  5. Well there's something... Yesterday I was out for Lunch with a friend of mine, we'd gone into HMV on the way to get some thing to eat, and whilst we were waiting for our dinner to arrive, we were talking about what we bought. My friend pulled out a Top gear boxset... Now let me explain to you what my friend is like, he is the kind of guy that knows that it has 4 wheels and an engine, you sit INSIDE it, therefore its probably a car, don't get me wrong, he is by no means unintelligent, he just really isn't interested in cars, I turn up to pick him up in my car, and yeah its a car I could turn up in a supercar, and yeah it would just be an uncomfortable car... He was just telling me about the cars that they have just booked for their wedding, some vintage cars (no point in asking what they are), but also a jag to take him to the church, I asked which one, his reply was, I don't know, I just sit in the thing! This in mind, I said to him, what did you buy that for? you don't like cars... his reply? "Because I think they are funny" So here we establish, that we are probably watch for much the same reasons, because the guys are clowns. Us being petrol heads, were watching for the same reasons not because were itching for the most up to date and objective review of the latest cars, because we probably couldn't afford most of the cars that they have on the show anyway, to be fair the cars are pretty much happen to be there, we like them becasue they describe everything in the same way, and its the way that they describe things that amuse us... And as for Clarkson, I think that he is perhaps less a journalist, and more of a celebrity that happens to write what's on his mind, He has a great way with words and I think that his opinons are very much the opinions of mostly all of us, lack of political correctness and all... but then I think that thats one of the main reasons that he appeals to most, political correctness is for most something thats forced, everyone likes a rebel. Just because he writes about cars, does not mean to say that your going to take anything that he says about them seriously, your only reading for the car-related humour...
  6. So who was the dealer? name and shame where needed - Credit where credit is due...
  7. but then I have this email posted for the RO details...
  8. Ah yeah twas hotmail yes...
  9. Hmmm curious... Would be good for a track toy though... strip the dash out, and fit it in there, just like the wrc cars have...
  10. ust gor a curious e-mail in my inbox... and I don't know how I might have ended up in this mailing list... I normally check the box "do not mail me"... Anywyas, has anyone else got an e-mail from AIM-Sportline? advertising plug and play Digital Dash boards for the impreza...? Don't know if its because I've been shopping with the likes of scoobyworld or scoobyparts...? If it is, then I'll not be too chuffed... but then that e-mail is in the open domain...
  11. I imagine that will much the case on the way down to Lanark for us, that's normally what ends up happening when were coming down en-masse for an event...
  12. It's good though....

  15. Ah I had visions of "nope never heard of that car..." nice one, was a nice motor... Gus, yeah was good to catch up, and I fully support project Leggy!!! And - Oh noes!!!!! Burnt Pizza sucks!!!
  16. Hi, was heading down to Glasgow this morning, well about lunch time this was, and encountered a VERY nice looking Silver-grey STi with High level spoiler, was happy to have a play! If your reading this, nice motor mate!
  17. Have you done anything to the car? different wheels suspension bits or strut braces etc?

  20. NO WAY!!!!!! Like the colour though... so why cant you just keep the Fozzy, can it not tow? Ive seen Imprezas with towbars, why not the foz?
  21. what link?
  22. Hey Barry did you get your problem sorted with your car mate? was just reading this topic and was reading another thread the other day that I thought might be of some use if you still have the same problem... Read This thread here... as this sounds like the problem that you may be having...
  23. oh now theres a thought... am I right in thinking that you may not get a Fault code if it comes on gradually...? IE: if you reset your ecu and then check the codes again, it may well throw up a code that hadn't been flagged before...? Dont know, But I seem to remember someone saying that before... or am I thinking about something else...?
