Rovertech 2.0

It's still my favourite, and since I haven't owned it for many years I cannot be accused of bias :p

Although it doesn't look like that at the moment

Welcome to my feedback thread

An Audi A6 Avant Quattro SE Sport 2.5 Litre Turbo Direct Injection?

Epic... Yes I read the whole thing

I particularly liked the bit where he said "Please don't ban me, i just want to show what astras can do" - obvious troll is suddenly obvious

Although at least with Volvo it's obvious that an S60 2.0T SE is a 2.0 Turbo S60 in SE Spec :p

I would, but it would probably break my teeth...

And don't forget the diesels, where a 316d is a 2.0d, a 318d is a 2.0d, a 320d is a 2.0d, a 325d is a 3.0d, a 330d is a 3.0d, and a 335d is a 3.0d with two turbos :p

I think to be fair as well, part of the reason they switched to German cars would have been down to the deals the german manufacturers would cut them. I know a while back at least one force was offered E420 (I think) mercs for the same price as the Mondy 220s they bought, but went with the Mondys be...

BMWs numbering/naming system is stupid anyway. I don't know what you mean. 23/25/28 are all 2.5, 318iS is a 1.9, the 316 is a 1.8, the normal 318 is either a 1.8 or a 2.0, and the 320 is a 2.2. Or all of that could be different depending on the year. What's even slightly complicated about that? :p

What alex neglects to mention of course, is that it's Sweden not here, and therefore the speeds are in Kph (hence I think they hit a max of around 120mph). Still, the way the lotus just kind of squats at the back and disappears... Possibly the most epic saloon car ever, even now I'd still take one o...

I'd second looking at the 5 Series too - there's a lot about for your budget (there wasn't so much on mine ;) ) Just as a slight correction though, Sheafs mate got a 525d, not a 525TDS - the TDS is the older engine and a bit sluggish (though apparently bulletproof) wheras the 525d is the newer 163bh...

Get an old second hand engine from a scrapper?

Pistons go up, pistons go down, pistons go up, pistons go down, pistons go backwards through block (sorry, I let Vard play with it for a minute and he broke it :p)

No Ben, you're doing it wrong. The first car image on google while searching for that phrase is http://www.resimlerx.com/galeri/Alfa_Romeo/Alfa_Brera_Spider3.jpg You just seemed to be attracted to the picture of the guy playing with himself on the bonnet of a Peugeot 405. Now, you either like men o...

Kinda like choosing an ATR over a 2.0 VTEC then

I hope it's Tiff, I really do. That guy is a living legend

Thread resurrection, but as previously stated - T16 is better for outright power, but the whole ZS package works so much better. I've had a 220, 420, 620, and 820 Turbo, and none of them have anywhere near the agility of the ZS, and they definately don't inspire confidence in the cars abilities like...

To wade in with my opinion... Seperate area of the site for NSFW, fine. Seperate area of the site for pr0ns, not so fine. Not least you run into other legal issues then and it's a bit of a minefield. So really anything in there should still comply with the existing posting rules as they protect the ...

Just got? Mate, you've been here long enough to know that it's camper than a very camp thing in a tent camping on a camp site. Especially when Vard gets involved.

Indeed.

To the OP - basically, what we've established in the Rovertech Kangaroo Court is thus:

Our findings are indecisive, we'd have to be in the situation to decide :p

All rise.

Oh i agree, I was actually referring to where the OP indicated that they'd had to restrain her (which could mean anything tbh) - I meant that THEY would, theoretically, have to justify their use of force however small if it was called into question. Which would be difficult. But this is making the O...

I think actually the offence has to have been committed, or be in the process of being committed. And even then only for an indictable offence. Only a constable can make an arrest on the suspicion you're about to do something. And bear in mind the onus is on you to prove without doubt that everythin...

Personally, I'd call the police and let them deal with it unless I felt things were getting unnacceptably physical and then I'm afraid I couldn't just stand and watch, hell even if it was my best mate I'd feel obligated to break that up. It's my upbringing I guess, but that was one thing I've never ...

You win some and you lose some I guess. Sooner or later karma/fate/whatever catches up with us all though.

That's just had my entire department in utter fits, good find

Hey guys, I was talking to a couple of mates at the pub last night (the source of all good ideas). Basically they're both professional photographers and we were discussing car shows. One of them owns his own studio and was thinking about coming with me to some of the trackdays and shows to snap some...

I know the feeling, I've briefly flirted with a few other cars but I keep coming back. I don't know what it is but i just prefer them. My ownership experience looks something like this: 1994 214 SEi (Wrote it off) 1995 214 SEi 1994 220 Turbo Coupe (Broke the engine, now Dad owns it) 1993 220 Turbo C...

It is indeed. There's a video if I can find the link as well - it's weird, the 306 they ran over defromed the same way. It does have quite narrow tracks, maybe that's why it broke like that?

Found this randomly on the internet, figured it was kind of cool, and it has a Rover in it too!

I made it a URL as the picture is quite large.

I'd like to come to this, but I need to check whether the Trax stand goes ahead as I can't do both. If it doesn't then I'm definately up for this - I'll be seeing Martin on Sunday so I'll know for sure by Monday 20th, but that's the earliest I'll know I'm afraid. I'll be after 1 car pass, and some t...

Rizzy,

This is for you

That's awesome news, you've just made my day!

Haha, fair enough, I thought I'd ask :p

I would take you up on your offer as I need to head up that way at some point anyway, but not before Friday unfortunately...

I don't suppose I could shotgun the primary oxygen sensor could I?

You'd think so wouldn't you :lol: It was only the Mk1 Tickford Turbos that had the larger disks apparently, all the Mk2s had 262 disks. No idea why they felt a Mk1 827 needed more braking than a MK2 Vit, but I would swing somewhere along the lines of cost cutting... If you have a set mate, you are a...

I think the Ti carriers are different on the hub end, and maybe the caliper end too. Otherwise it would be much easier :p
