As I already said (as a hint) the pics seem to be taken randomly off of google pic search. So here is the original pic for number 3 - and no.3: btw: I donĀ“t want the booze, someone else can have it! They were. The idea was we played the game and didn't cheat ;-) Next time I will be less lazy and make google image search impossible (Thats if we want another one?)

Prizes for anyone that can find suitable components for sale and tell us how much it would be to build one of the above off of an easier to find car. Also Suggestions for alternatives to the big Fords? I have a set of 15" ali moon discs from the Volksrod project that are unlikely to be used. Theres a start...

Right. So. HoTWire and I have had a chat. We've thrown our handbags at each other, and reached something of an understanding (I think). This penance is my "giving ground" after a (well made) point that I detract more than I add to this forum, in accordance with the RR MO. I am demonstrating that I do actually have an interest in cars, and giving a wider apology to anyone I have upset by posting something "unsavoury", derailing threads or going way off topic (but not to anyone offended by things that slip through the swear filter - sorry but you can poke that one). So, without further ado... We are going to play "Name that car", and the winner gets a prize (no, seriously, you do!) Here are some teeny tiny snippets of cars. The rules... You may only give one answer per pic, your first answer is taken as your final answer and that is that. You must give an answer for ALL PICS in one post. If you don't you are disqualified. You may not post multiple posts with different answers. You must not edit your reply once submitted (cos that's cheating, init?) I will check back now and then to see if anyone got it right yet, I will not be saying "yes" or "no" as we go, I will only say when someone has nailed all of them. I won't say right away though, I will keep this going a while and announce the winner a little while afterwards If it's clear that no one is gonna get it after a few days (weeks? Months? Once the thread dies...) I'll pick the winner who was closest. There are a couple of nasty red herrings in there too... Be careful! I am giving away 2 bottles of my latest experimental cider. It is maturing at the moment, you will receive one bottle of still and one bottle of sparkling. It's a ginger and honey recipe, sitting at a whopping 13.8% approx, I wasn't d!cking around when I brewed it. It will need to mature further, so once you receive it I will tell you how long you need to leave it before you drink. I must stress, IT'S AN EXPERIMENTAL RECIPE!!! So, please, give honest feedback on it, I have NO idea how it will turn out, but I do know that there are big flavours in there. Shall we start? 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10)

TBF there's only one post that is a shot across the bows and a bit prickly. The rest are parodies of the thread title, of which there are four I think? Then after that it's mostly in-fighting with sprinklings of helpfulness and curse word memes from me (and someone asking for Hotwire to be deleted).

maybe best to delete HoTWire to stop future confusion? That's just unkind... I mean I know he doesn't like me very much but even I would say deleting him is a bit extreme..?? And I'm not sure that would stop folk thinking RR was Car SOS either, though I don't really understand the intricacies of forum coding... :lol:

Um, I've no idea? Not on this forum anywhere lol! "If you are interested in applying, all applications should be sent to: carsos@renegadepictures.co.uk" from the car SOS website. But I dunno if they are recruiting just now? Thanks for the serious and uninsulting reply Fad. I am asking this because I searched for the show, and the link told me that to apply I need to make an account in this forum; and when I got here there was no Ā mention of it. I don't think I will be bothering with this again after all the insults I got from one question!Ā Please don't take them as insults. Most of the responses were "in jokes" about stuff that has happened on here before, not insults and certainly not anything really to do with your post (for example my "attach an anchor, must be strong..." response was about a thread a while ago that was just lots of sillyness). Good luck in your quest!

Could you not just seal the sunroof with oodles of goo from a caulking gun? It looked awful, & was pointless, really. If I ever meet the person that fitted it, in the 60's, I'll punch his head in! Sorry was a flippant, tongue in cheek remark

Hmm... I don't know these engines so can't really pass comment, but if your O2 sensor is looking for a value, and it aint getting it, it will alter fuelling until it does. Would it not make your engine either run super lean, or limp mode, engine light straight back on?
In your shoes I would leave it as it is, running and working, and then buy a new cat and fit it when it arrives. Sounds like too much to go wrong if you go smashing the cat out when you don't seem to need to?

You don't need a new sensor by the sounds of it?
And is your sensor before or after the cat?

Has nobody else here gone on a forum, asked a stupid question and been shot down in flames by the yokels? It makes you feel curse word and you don't go back on it. I think we have all forgotten what the OP actually was and are now just having fun with one another As you pointed out, the correct answer was in the first response. The rest is all just giggles and funz!

It's ok. It's perfectly natural for a developing boy your age to have urges and feelings that you can't control and don't understand. Just be yourself, be you, and others will accept you for who you are

It's banter my friend, get over it I'm familiar with the concept of banter. Did you miss the winky tongue at the end bud?
