Re: Introduction - and a question

It may help to speak to millennium minors in chorlton (South Manchester). Could also be worth you contacting the Manchester Branch as one of the committee live on the north side so may know the car. I'd offer to have a look at it with you but not sure when I'm next back in Manchester.

Some interesting comments here. Simmitic has replied to my OP, Admin has not but then he is very well known anyway so probably you will all have heard of him. Can anyone tell us about Cam, the third person listed as a moderator? According to the Board as it comes up on my screen he was last active ...

In other news, the door opened to what i always thought was the spare bedrrom at my house and some hairy grunting neanderthal wandered out, rubbing his eyes. He claims he's my son...

Re: Cars For Sale bit

As previously said the reason for turning comments off on cars for sale was the volume and content of comments from people with no interest in buying the car but felt the need to comment. Some of these comments caused considerable problems for the club. Closing the section entirely was given serious...

Re: No comment

Blocking comments on cars for sale was a decision taken by the club committee. The club received a number of complaints from people who had advertised cars for sale and who were greatly upset by some of the comments made. It got to the point where almost every advertised car came in for a barrage of...

Re: Euphemisms

Will be interesting to see how many "incidents " are down to drivers completely ignoring the red X lane closed sign on the gantry even though it is illegal to ignore it. My experience is that countless drivers just carry on down the closed lane and nothing seems to be done.

Re: Euphemisms

The Nissan flashes up a warning on the dash if you get too close to the car in front, ignoring the warning apparently causes the car to slow down until the gap is reinstated. If the car in front brakes heavily so will the Nissan apparently automatically put the hazard lights on and not rear end the ...

Which is why I said "when it becomes the norm". My wife's 2 year old Nissan has it as does my son's 3 year old Skoda, therefore I think it is coming more quickly than we think.

At least we had them days, before it all went silly.
Memories of Saturday mornings back when I could climb on to the bonnet of one car to get to another without making peculiar noises. 😊

Re: New member and quick question!

Halfords classic oil is the one I use, I'm told it's Castrol in a Halfords tin and that Wilkinson's 20/50 is the same and the cheapest of the three. Having looked at all three they look the same but that doesn't of course mean they are.

Re: A little shocked

What gets me with the price of classics is alot seem to get snapped up by dealers and then inflated. Pet hate of mine. There's a convertible made from a saloon doing the rounds at the moment, very shiny body but also very scruffy engine bay. It was for sale at £11995 for months on a web site, sold ...
