Well that's as clear as mud... thanks?

Cool beans.

Just another few messages I've received via email:

If I could sell my Techno for £600... would you accept any less than the £2200?

Nice pictures! Isn't it great to finally have a nice day for once! In other news, I would consider killing someone close to me in order to buy your Beta Heath!! I really would...

Got a message from Michael earlier saying that Terry's doing fine but he's a nightmare to keep still! He also wanted me to pass on a massive thankyou to all those who have wished him well- he never thought so many people cared! Anyway, here's to a speedy recovery for El Presidente Terry Graves .

I've heard that too actually... Older mercs were really well made quality bits of kit but it seems modern Merc's are somewhat lacking in the quality control dept. for some reason... Doesn't mean you pay any less for them of course!

They're still not actually the same type of car though are they?... Although I shouldn't say it the new style focii still look kind of obese in my eyes. Give me an '05 RS over an '09 RS anyday .

I didn't realise one of your random cars was a DeLorean.

I don't think that's what you meant but how about a 20 set? Youtube Video -> ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">

For someone with such a firm grasp of physics you must realise that that's just impossible.

They just alternate between short and long. Probably worth checking for other damage though if the freewheel came totally apart while riding...

It being a show car isn't what I could see until he took the stupid decision to f**k it up by putting the wheel spacers on. In my mind, a show car is a very modded car which in theory could be driven on the road and is both mechanically and aesthetically modified. I would have zero problem with his car if he'd decided he wanted to make it that wide so had custom suspension components fabbed to extend the drivetrain and wishbones to allow the car to be driven. Any halfwit can ruin their car by putting 140mm wheel spacers on but I didn't think anyone was retarded enough to actually do it. That's why I have zero respect for what he's done. As above, I don't have a problem with modding in general, although when you see the fast and furious decalled up cars it makes me giggle and some people have literally zero taste but if they like it whatever. My issue is only with that 106 which just makes me want to punch the guy doing it! On a side note your Saxo looks really nice and sets it off really well. Just don't put 140mm wheel spacers on it!

Yes, yes you do. Awaits slightly sad but inevitable manifestation of natural selection.

Ginger fool comment respectfully withdrawn due to Matt being a trained killer an' all .

Toooo late.

Ahhhhhhh. In which case ignore everything I've posted! A bunnyhop is getting up stuff without using the cranks- what you're after is a pedal up. I learnt those watching the slo-mo section of Martyn Ashton in Tricks and Stunts. They're all about timing. You need to start pedalling the correct distance away so that you get to the most powerful part just as you're taking off. I start with my good foot down and roll in at about walking pace. The first half pedal stroke I'm basically only using enough power to lift the front wheel. As the good pedal comes towards being forward you need to stamp on the pedal to get the power through the cranks. At the same time you should be jumping upwards, timing it so the power from the cranks is helping to accelerate the bike upwards and to start with you should be simply allowing the bike to move upwards. You then need to be throwing the bike up and out in front of you to allow the back wheel to reach as high as possible while also locking the rear brake for landing.

He's such a handsome devil...

joshlyd1 aka Rod Kimble... Life is short. Stunt it!

Wow, you're right, what you did is almost the same as riding a motorbike off a quarter pipe and parachuting back to earth. Thanks for clearing up whether it's possible or not.

I didn't see a bunnyhop in there...

It needs to be a very explosive move, especially on a mod where it's not as easy to pull up the front end. If you can, try it first on some pallets or something which you can build in height but will also move a bit if you plough into them so it's less likely that you hurt yourself.

The issue's not with the diameter it's the pitch. You need the M5 thread to be M5 x 0.8mm and a standard M6 thread is M6 x 1.0mm. Therefore an M5 insert will be threaded internally with M5 x 0.8mm and externally it'll be M6 x 0.8mm. Does that make sense? Anyway, if the threads have been changed to be M6 x 1.0mm then no, you won't be able to stick a Helicoil insert in. Yeah... that's not really answering his question though.
