  1. I wouldn't mind seeing a close up of that fracture. It's possible you did the owner a good turn (no pun intended ) as there may have been an existing crack or deep stress raiser in the arm at the end of the nut which may have propagated and failed while driving. I suspect heat damage from a previous incident has weakened it and unfortuantely now it has snapped, i think the blow torch is used too frequently to overcome issues without thinking about the concequences to normal metal tempering
  2. Could be worse ... have to be a right d*** to drive this
  3. Very nice hopefully the manual works better i was in an Auto double cab version with the same 8.3lt viper engine and wasn't impressed with the performance... my brothers Merc ML320 diesel would kick it's ass, i think it must have been de-tuned for the paraplegic owner as i was expecting so much more ... they are MASSIVE though

    How old is the car? that's a nice bit of rust
  5. I had to change a tyre recently because of a puncture, i was stuck in very slow moving trafic and didn't realise the front left tyre was almost flat, it only became obvious when i tried going around the roundabout where i couldn't stop safely so had to drive another 50 yards (very slowly) to a nearby carpark...I didn't think i had done any damage till i got to the garage and when they removed the tyre it was all grated up on the inside... pressure sensors would have saved me replacing a practlcally new tyre
  6. a taser can kill, an old lady like that could have a medical condition or even a pacemaker ... that cop has very poor communication skills and he should also cut back on the pork pies, then he'd have the energy to move the little old lady without shooting her
  7. I struck a bad pothole awhile back and the wheel was undamaged but the whole hub had moved backwards over an inch ...
  8. Never liked these yokes Lexus SC430 OEM rims
  9. Lovely pics btw ... what model is the silver one? looks fabulous i think
  10. 100% agree with Tony, mine was the same and since changing tyres again the steering wheel is spot on center again.. incidentally mine were F1's as well ... is this a flaw with them?
  11. What's your problem? not everyone on here is on the LOC as well?
