Absolutely stonking season
Your driving confidence must have gone through the roof, i mean year on year your gaining better results with little real change to the cat, you need to pat yourself on the back.thank you
I do believe that you have to look at the car and the driver, you can have a good driver and a not so good car, and you can have a good car and a not so good driver, strangely they can both produce the same results !
I have always thought that I had a good car, slowly the car is giving me the confidence to become a better driver
the car has performed faultlessly the past year, no spins, no "off" moments and thankfully no breakdowns, not bad for a 16 year old car running over twice the power it was designed for

well another year has quickly passed
2011 was another year with the Toyota Sprint Series
the only improvement/enhancement was that the "Tart" now runs on racing fuel, allowing for less retardation and detonation, with a slight increase of power as well
only downside is its about £4.50 per litre and the Tart runs about 3-5 mpg !
as the saying goes "dont fix what aint broke"
results of the years racing as follows:
round 1 : Rockingham
1st place in class B
hard charger award
overall 9th position
round 2 : Woodbridge
1st place in class B
overall 8th position
round 3 : Barkston Heath
2nd place in class B
overall 14th position
round 4 : Cottesmore
1st place in class B
overall 5th position
round 5 : Croft
1st place in class B
overall 8th position
round 6 : Blyton
1st place in class B
hard charger award
overall 3rd place (behind Jonny Milner and Adrian Smith in their 800hp monsters)
And on the complete series :
overall 4th position
so as you can see it was a fantastic season
sadly this year I am only doing a few select rounds due to having to have an operation at some point

It has more than likely been cropped as well and the shark can't jump in the boat you know!
no it will just eat the boat, did you not watch Jaws

love it
nice surprise

wow
and i was concerned about the foxes in my garden

silicones need to go on dry and remain dry whilst curing
best stuff for damp conditions is "gold label pond sealant" you can even apply it underwater !
can you not get a new seal ?
frosts do various replacement seals at reasonable cost, probably a lot cheaper than OEM

i thought the BMW looked fairly secure, until i watched the video and saw it was being held by a fork lift thingy
those firefighters are pretty brave the way they are clambering all over it , especially when you see the drop !!

reads like there was a passenger involved as well
he survived ! and passengers usually come worse off

in answer to your question Tony
The Vega was designed for vertical shipment, nose down. General Motors and Southern Pacific designed "Vert-A-Pac" Railroad cars to hold 30 Vegas each, compared with normal tri-level autoracks which held 18. The Vega was fitted with four removable cast-steel sockets on the underside and had plastic spacers—removed at unloading—to protect engine and transmission mounts. The rail car ramp/doors were opened and closed via forkliftVibration and low-speed crash tests ensured the cars would not shift or suffer damage in transit. The Vega was delivered topped with fluids, ready to drive to dealerships, so the engine was baffled to prevent oil entering the number one cylinder; the battery filler caps high on the rear edge of the casing prevented acid spills; a tube drained fuel from carburetor to vapor canister; and the windshield washer bottle stood at 45 degrees.
amazing what a google search reveals !

Then what's the point of having them
they restrict parking !
-
Because it's on the double yello's.....
doesnt make it illegal
-
Even if they know it was illegally parked
why would you think it was illegally parked !
the driver may have been unloading or loading at the time
or there may even be time restrictions
lets hope the driver wasn't in it

Hey barry not seen you on here for a little while!
Cant get rid of me that easy

alternative method to gain camber and castor

I bought 10 of these bulbs for £2.50 on ebay, bargain! Looks like they had both blown at the same time and it wasn't a faulty clock
stick the remaining 8 back on ebay and get your money back !!

I bet they are hard to balance !

I thought skyscrappers were designed to collapse this way rather than fall over?
I dont think they are designed to collapse or fall over
Why not? They must think about these things when designing tall buildings. If something was to happen that would weaken the structure of the building it makes sense to create it so it collapses causing minimal damage. Both towers fell straight down and I don't think that was a conincidence. It's abit like when they demolish buildings, they blow them up so they fall straight down.
no, they design them to withstand any likelyhood of collapse, wether it is built in a tornado/hurricane or earthquake zone
would you want to live or work in a building that was designed to collapse !
when they demolish buildings they work out the controlled collapse dependant on the type of construction
tall buildings generally are brought down vertically, because of the consequences of if toppling into surrounding buildings
smaller buildings where space permits will be toppled
in all cases its a very scientific job working out the structural integrity and where the explosives are placed, to do the job
the WTC was built to withstand airplane collision, but only to a certain size, they never believed a jet liner would ever crash into it
I still find it suspicious the way the towers collapsed, the fact that they did indeed collapse, the fact that both towers collapsed the same way within a short timespan between, the fact that they collapsed the same way but were not damaged the same way, and the way it looked so much like a controlled collapse

Today we had our best day ever, born on our best week ever, born on our best month ever.... Well done team wim/ BB and thank you our precious customers.
excellent news
what makes them the "best" in your view
and why do you think its at this time of the year
over the years we always had good and bad months
5 years ago it was always quiet, late december and january,
yet since, its been june and dec/jan have been very busy !

a rock hard suspension is great on a perfectly smooth track
sadly perfectly smooth tracks rarely exist and certainly not in this country
on a rough or even slightly bumpy track it will cause lack of grip to the tyres as they bounce over any undulation
by allowing damping to absorb the bumps it allows the tyres to keep in contact with the surface
on a front wheel drive you also need to use the transfer of weight to give grip and prevent understeer, with little or no damping its going to drive like a pig

If the air con works fine i.e it gets cold in the cabin, then you have to assume that the air con pump must stop / start like that.
Reason being there's no nasty noises and it gets cold as expected. Also there is no way a jammed pump can suddenly free up like that, only to jam again, then free up, then jam etc and still work satisfactorily!
Does the the air con tensioning pulley move to pull the belt tight?
but no way would a belt be designed to slip like that !

its China they will just reproduce another one for £100
