Well, I have a thing for special effects lighting, and today I started
modding my car with some LED's. I robbed the 12V power source from the
cigarette lighter (I'll never smoke) to power quite a few LED's all
throughout the car - in the vents, floors, grill, etc. While I was

Talbot Samba cabrio - 11 mths MOT, history, last owner a few years, 97k
miles. 1.4 engine - same as in 205.
Overpriced, probably, but the Rover's dying FAST.

Have all the owners stopped mumbling sh.t about every turbo 900 being a
future classic and asking £500 for sh.tters yet?

Ok i have a slight problem, thought i might throw it at you guys first.....
The 1.8t is now reaching intersteller miles and I just had the cambelt /
waterpump / aux belts done, I also had the rocker cover gasket replaced as I
had a slight oil leak, but I now have another problem.

I took my Peugeot 206 (180 GTi) in to have a slow puncture sorted. That

Does anyone on here have much experience of fiddling with tyres?
My (new to me) car has budget 205 45 R16 tyres on it.
Higher performance 195 45 R16s are cheaper from the likes of mytyres and
blackcircles than 205s.  Forgive my naivety, but will the skinnier tyres

Has anyone noticed the lack of obvious bargains on ebay recently ?
I used to have a bid on unusual items (usually car related) and get 'em for
silly-cheap prices more often than not, now everything I'm interested in

Right, the Mondeo is doing my head in, keeps going through MOTs and is just
"white goods", don't get me wrong, it's a good car, just too "new" I
suppose, there's nothing to do to it apart from servicing.
The Locost is fun, if a little impractical, but there's no major project to

Evening all
I want to replace the bumpers on the BX as the back one is cracked (and is
the wrong one anyway) and the front one has a large scrape down the side, as
well as a few minor scrapes.

It's stupendously dead in here.

When I first watched this, I had to watch it 4-5 times, the 60's V-12 is
just sublime.
When he kisses the armco it sends shivers up my spine :)
