  1. Close. I think they were going for the "the trialspartary, where all the trials parts are kept."
  2. I don't know if he has a garden with grass, but i'm sure Glen can sort you an ard'on with ass ?
  3. What starts in "m" and ends in "uppet" ? One clue, it's not metatarsal.
  4. By "used" in what context do you mean ? The only thing I can find a use for on the trials-uk site is the number at the top left to complain when all the shit I've ordered doesn't turn up/is not what I ordered. But seeing as Dans accidently put his phone in the microwave instead of the sausage roll he was having for lunch and the phones are down now I can't see any reason for there to even be a TUK site.
  5. The inadequate brakes was wayyyy back on the Saxo, we were talking about the stock-ness of them but now I think were on about the going not the stopping.
  6. None of them. But I don't think that was the question was it ? I thought the question was is 300BHP stupid in a FWD car, which it clearly isn't if the rest of the car has been modified/designed to cope with the power and that the driver doesn't share brain-cells with a tea cosy.
  7. That is a fair point, but it has it's plus and minus's in each of the weights. As has been said, if you know what your doing and drive to the condition and your own ability I can't see how 300BHP can be a problem. Look at the power that can be got into a mini ? Turbo'd redtops and stuff like that, fair enough there a hand full but theres a fair few of them about.
  8. Yeah, thats my car. His one was this piece of shit, haha Oh well, got a guy coming up tomorrow to look at it for £750
  9. It was SO fun though. Same again today ? No jokes, if that was my groundhog day I'd be so happy. I got to see Allen, I saw a dalmation with a pink face, I hugged a chicken, I got to drive along in sunglasses and a silly hat, I got to work out that some people are complete pricks, I found out Loughborough is full or broads, I learned how many f**ked engines you can fit in one garage, and that it's pretty grim up north. So I get there right (about 4 hours one way), looking a bit . And the guy's like "It drives brilliantly, the body work's had a bit of attention, but its only a one previous owner car, I've got a mint interior (that was the wrong color and year!) for it, and it's solid as a rock. I've done 50 miles in it so far and I even got it up to 70 at one point! Only 106K on the clock." I was like....OK then, lets get this interior out then (That was only a ploy so I could see just quite how rotten it was). Top of the rear wings ? f**kED, boot floor ? f**kED, inner front wings ? f**kED. And it had OBVIOUSLY been clocked. My last 99 had hundreds of K's on it and it was mint, the interior was like new and it was solid as a rock. That cost me about £400, which shows how much his shitter was. Then I said to him, "Well, it's not what I expected. It was photo'd very deceptively, and the gearbox is nailed. Lets get a seat back in it and I'll take it for a spin before we go any further." And the cheeky fanny says to me "Well, your 900's not exactly the best. You didn't say the petrol cap was blue, and I sold a full pressure turbo that was better than that for £500." I didn't *really* need any more encouragement from that point on to not do the deal. So I took it out for a spin and slyly took my phone with me. As soon as I put it into second gear the deal was over. If only we had of brought Allens maiming knife. And is it not REALLY obvious in this photo (one of the ones from the advert!) that the petrol caps blue ? The worst bit is he had a Scarabe Green 9000 up there he was breaking, so he had a petrol cap for it anyway !?!?!
  10. 300bhp is NOT massive power. It's not hard to drive a high power FWD car, it's bloody fun if you know what your doing. For instance, I drove my mates 9K with a proven 400BHP at the wheels the other day. And it was no harder to drive than my stock 900 turbo. Until you put your foot down then you had to think about what your are doing. As has been said, the power is manageable as long as you've got the chassis to put it down.
  11. I'm sure Allen will pop his head in and explain. The highlight of my day was picking up a chicken at Allens house, that shows how f**ked this Saab was.
  12. Well. That was the single biggest waste of time in my life so far.
  13. I wasn't having a go at you, I just put "Unlucky" on the end for effect. haha But Nick always picks up on little errors in my posts no matter what the circumstance and then just lets everybody else's bad spelling and mistakes fly. Which annoys me, but hey. I'll get the full info on this Lotus thing from Allen today, see if we can't knock something up in the afternoon

    Best Bargains

    I got a renault 5 for £20 with 8 months tax and 6 months MOT. To do with trials because I only bought it to get my bike in.
  15. How very senior of you. You REALLY don't like me very much do you ? You know as well as I do what I meant to put.
  16. My thoughts exactly. Saxo looks shit but to be fair it runs and drives without blowing up it would seem.....
  17. As has been said. Allen is working on a team with a man who built one in his shed and beat lotus's top speed by 10mph. And came third overall. Unlucky.
  18. It's a soap box challenge. Down hill.
  19. Ohhhh, no I thought it was yocal lingo for the furthest destinaton. Saab is in Lincoln, not that Saab but one of similar style and condition.
  20. Just noticed everybody's talking about Medeley....WTF's that ? lol I don't think I mentioned a place called that, or is this yocal talk ?
  21. It's not "really" Grimsby, It's actually Lincoln looking at the post code on the map - http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source...&iwloc=addr Adam Griffins now pussy'd out, so I'm going to Allens in Loughborough for 3 and then on to Lincoln. I should be able to get to there for about half 5 from Allens ?
  22. What you need to do is get a mentalist driver. BIG wheels, and a very aerodynamic shape.
