Prawny Baby

I dunno, your mums pretty entertaining too! (gnomes!)

One year, we took Pete to the bike show with us, and on the way home, we called into his parents house and met them! they largely explained why Pete was Pete within about 4 seconds, much like meeting jardo's parents instantly explains everything too

For plumbed in systems, If anyones interested, JJC are still doing the lifeline2000 twin nozzle 2.25L systems for £100. My Lifeline Fire marshall 4.0L 4 nozzle system is also on offer at Peter Lloyd for £200, and comes with a decent sized garage extinguisher for that also.

Ah, it wasn't kit car, it was mini mag! Found it here: http://www.minimag.co.uk/2010/05/24/on-test-fire-extinguishers/

oh wow, I replied to Dannys post at the end of page 687 and look what I'd missed the main issue with this thread - nobody comments. Largely, we all add out bits, then the next person comes along, adds their bit, and totally ignores the post above without commenting at all. there is no discussion, just a series of personal agendas. obviously that's not the case ALL the time, but generally, it's how it goes. I'm guilty of that myself too. Recently, I've been trying to respond to posts rather than just post my own drivel that none of you care about. I havn't answered Mikes question because I know less than nothing about stereos, so I tried to answer Dannys question on something I've got more knowledge on. I could reply to the whole George vs Jardo debate about hybrid vs ko4, but I've avoided that because i don't want to upset Jardo by agreeing with George. So, how about we all make some form of attempt to interact, instead of a string of unrelated posts that's shit to read? I'll start Dann- you've effectively become the new jardo. Think about what this means to you, and try and fix it Jardo - you're becoming less Jardo, I'm impressed, well done chap but your exhaust wonks left, and your number plate wonks right. Please fix. Greg - I don't really like hondas much, but I find that 'teg strangely enjoyable! properly cool little car. Adam - you're probably the fastest of the lot of us and have far too much fun racing. very jealous. Alex - does your gear stick still wobble when you corner? m3 looks awesome, and from the vids we can only assume you're very fast, but we'll never know because you're in foreign land and the chances of us all doing a Trackday together seem non existant - shame! I have however taken your advice and convinced a friend to try some Profil XR01's! Mike - I'm glad you've accepted your scissors gracefully now, it's for the best. Sorry I can't help with your radio, but you probably won't hear it with the roof down anyway, so just listen to what other people are listening to in the traffic. TB - why has it taken you this long to get bored it's been dull for years, but for some reason (not knocking it) we all still come back! Something about TF we seem unable to avoid more than a decade on! Everyone else, lots of love, and

i use a Guardian BC1000 hand held extinguisher Danny, as well as a 4ltr plumbed in system. There was a test on total kit car magazine a few years back of all the small hand helds, and the Guardian 1kg BC came out best in terms of length of continuous output and fire fighting capabilities. they're only about £20 too.

Teg looks really cool, I like that a lot! I'd advise against buying those harnesses though. Cheap nasty crap I'm afraid, and won't be comfy or nice to use at all. either stick to lap belts, or go the whole hog with a 4/6 point 3'' harness with a centre buckle. Going from my A3 with proper harnesses, into the Mini with the type in your pic, they feel REALLY uncomfy, and really unsafe too.

Regardless of how big the tank is, that's truly horrific MPG for a small low powered car!"

Sounds smart, but isn't 263bhp a bit optimistic without fancy cams?

Drove car. Gear linkage felt all wrong. Couldn't get 2nd / 4th properly at all. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Opened bonnet to check linkage. Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh, Problem found! Whoops. Removed scissors. car goes fast, changes gear well. Prawn happy

I miss Pete Wright, Pete was a dude. A totally harmless, hugely funny chap. part of TF history for sure. it's rare that I venture outside of the car thread these days. reading this thread, I realise why, so I'll trundle back to chit chat now i think!

because they're so old they're exempt from both? or does T&T stand for 'Terrible Tinworm'?

have they scratched that inside the wheel

I build roads, bridges, tunnels, sea defenses, things like that Civil Engineer apparently!

It's almost like an advert for Gay Pride Rich was my 28th Birthday on tuesday. So I spent the day pretending I was 18 again and took my Mini out for a spin!

Oh wow Alex, that's a proper mess under there! Good luck with that! Sorry mike - i just couldn't resist, you set it up so perfectly for me! A few pics from Curby: And a really rather uneventful lap video. This one was a 27.47, my second best of the day

ideal time for you Mike, you can use your new hair dryer to help dry the paint

Holy crap that's just unreal! Amazing how the air gets in under the car and lifts it up like that!

Surely you knew to expect all that before hand? It comes with the territory sadly, you've just got to embrace it! if I had an MX5, I think I'd keep set of hair straighteners and some scissors in the boot, just to pull out to silence the jokers when they ask for a haircut

Sounds about right. You're young, with a powerful young lads car. £600 sounds perfectly reasonable at 22! Ohps. Missed the next page. Haha. I was replying to dan

Jardo summed it up well. Day was good. !st and 4th. happy with that

Everything Dann did broke. Everything Seat did seems to still be working

Funny how having the engine connected to the car will do that isn't it

Does this mean gearbox wasn't broken? Or gearbox AND dogbone are broken?

You bought that ported BAM head yet spunky>?
