Now all you need to do is take the advice of a guy that rang me at APT a few months ago and empty a can of WD40 all over it and watch it go all Blue and pretty!!

He will deny it, because he passed me once I backed off, but I would say that he struggled.

Regarding the Turbo, I think it was the sound of Dusty Springfield that did it!!

It was the camera phone that made it appear pink .

No ALS, that was due to a "spirited" drive .

You should see it Nick!

The format is always pub first for the meet, and then a spirited drive to McDougals - when it's announced that we're leaving to for McDs, it's like the old style start of LeMans

not bad, but i think you could do better.


turn the fuel pressure down, let it have it and hold brakes on, then have a look.

if the down pipes glowin then , but then your have a few pistons to replace

it actually couldnt be more perfectly set as the backroad drive serves as a perfect warm up for the car for the dual carriageway tear up to mickys finest.

Well, considering the 30 seconds previously we had discussed fuel and you lot said you knew how to get to the Shell station, I kind of assumed that you knew where you were going. This assumption led me to believe that you were going left, in which case, my manouvere wouldn't have been quite so harsh.

Oh well, serves you right for being so Anal about what Fuel you use!!

Knowing Mike's fondness for various electrical gadgets I reckon he'd have had some sort of "simmer" device operating

lol, na, I was talking about Nath as you have to use the ignition key to open the bonnet on a focus rs

mike certainly does have a fondess for battery operated 'gadgets' though, I think 'pink vibe' is his fav
