Perhaps the OP is reflecting, backing down a bit and trying to make amends ... maybe some credit is due as it's maybe not easy when a s**t storm is overhead ...

Been reading this thread, and the above surely is a reasonable response and offer IMHO ... Yes people can argue it's a little late and get on one side or the other ... Not many people will have done this kind of work to know what's involved or what the expected result would look like ... I...

Great thread :-)

You are correct the G/V (yellow/green) is switched live on a 20A fuse :-)

Not trying to be too cynical but ... Be careful this doesn't turn into someone seeing a great job opportunity for them ...

PMSL Darren ...

Run my Mk2 Vee and high powered JDM GT4 Turbo (1 bar boost) on 95 ron fuel with no issues at all ... Now and again, for things like track days etc. I may use 98/99 but other than that - that's my choice :-) Martin

I was at Mas du Clos last week and had a passenger laps in a genuine Clio V6 Trophy and also a Megane R26R ... I have to say I was more impressed with the R26R in overall performance and fun. The track was wet so maybe the Trophy wasn't going at maximum attack but I was SERIOUSLY impressed with...

I live in Chester and mised this one ... Maybe next time ... Martin

It's nice to see many of you know and appreciate the car and it's heritage :-) Had 3 of these now since my first in 1995, all in Black ! I bought this one about 5 years ago for £800, as it had some minor damage which I repaired - requiring no new panels but the bonnet is a little 'imperfect'...

Thanks Darren, great job ... Bought a load of Autoglym stuff tonight and a couple of clay kits as I may have the detaling bug after all these years - LOL ... Just need a PC and I may have a go on my Vee LOL Gaz, you're right cool cars and good old Carlos could drive em ... This is the...

100GB is a lot of monthly usage (even if you had a genuine unlimited policy) but good on you if you can get that amount of usage. Fair usage tends to be applied which normally allows more than the T&C amount (unless it's mobile broadband) but most providers will traffic throttle/shape people who...

Also an option to consider is XBOX Sky-Player, works on wireless through an XBOX live account ... Martin

Does take a while to get upto those usage rates even with heavy usage though on the 3 network they support full media streaming which, if you also use i-player for example on an Android phone, you can start to hammer things. Their fair usage policy is 1GB though ;-) Martin

Good golly NOT AVON tyres on a Vee - crikey LOL I hope the ZZ3 are much improved on the ZZ1 as the ZZ1 were the WORST tyres I have EVER had on any car ... I actually junked them they were that bad in the wet on my 4wd Celica too ! Martin

So much more of unique colour than LY and I think people could live with the LG more easily too :-) Good job Shaun - looks ace ... Martin

Glad you got it sorted - it's not too bad is it :-) Also you have the auto level sensor which is pretty accurate with 5 O's being displayed if it's full - doesn't show the colour though ... Martin

IMHO cars are all a question of taste and desire to own really v practicality and cost ... If people have such a desire or interest in a car like a Vee I am sure people won't be dissappointed in owning one for a while, many just buy and try and sell on, some fall in love with them. Many hate...

Promenade stages Rally last weekend at New Brighton on the Wirral had loads of Mk2's - they were ace to watch and always have been :-) Even a twin rotary wankel powered car ... Plenty of Rally schools around - here is one I have used and can recommend. I think DarrenS on here has been too :-)...

Agree with that as it solved my previous speed issues in my 1930's house with various extensions put in over the years :-) Mind you my current setup has the latest BT cable spec from the telegraph pole to a 1st floor window (which is where my living room is) and about 8 inches of internal...

Great to hear about your trip - keep us posted ;-) Martin

Great pics ;-) Martin

Plenty of sun lotion required, though some people were 'simply red' ... If you get in early you get a good spot, being able to sit in your car, or in front of it whilst watching the action is one of the benefits of Oulton Park infield ;-) Martin

We all met up near Oulton just before 8 and probably got in about 8:10 ... Pretty much had a pick of spots apart from a large section cordoned off for the VXR mob ... IMHO it's also important to park somewhere where you can get out easily or move your car nearer the exit, before the last race...

Yes was a great day at Oulton - great to see some of you guys ;-) Racing was fun as was WelshArab continuously dusting off his Meg as we were parked next to the dusty road LOL It was DarrenS in the Lotus 340R and he took some of us out in it later on in the evening. We left before the last...

To sort out cats, get one of these ;-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfwwGyu1W5U And for birds ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4_SNdsGcTA Martin

Getronics are our IT services provider at work :-) Been to their 'bunker' a few times LOL Martin

Nice one, look forward to seeing em :-) Also saw LY Megane on the road to Oulton being professionally photographed in a car park ... Maybe for a magazine ... Might be a p**n mag but more likely car p**n ... Martin

That was Mossy who had come to a drifting meet at Oulton Park where I was drifting in my GT4 Celica. ChrisV6255 turned up aswell as walshy255 so there were 3 Vees a bit later on :-) BTW Mrs Mossy wasn't upset, she was doing a crossword puzzle LOL Martin
