Odd one this but wondered if anyone has had similar? (I nicked my post of Evo forum for lunch break time save)
Over the Christmas period Mario Kart was running fine and dandy, but I started to notice that a little bit of the steering feedback was gone when pushing on in the bendy bits. At...

Just heard on the news... the wind has caused a tree to fall on a car and as a result has killed the driver in Somerset.
That is just terrible... nothing you can do to prevent it. How very sad :cry:

Don't worry, this isn't spam, and I did a couple of searches and couldn't find anything similar, so apologis if it's a double post.
This is a legit online petition, feel free to go through the normal 10 Downig Street page ( http://www.pm.gov.uk ) if you think it's a spam engine.

Just wondering what sort of prices people are paying on there little beasts? Seems that the premiums have lifted a little for...
Number 230 is sadly a write off.
The story:
Christmas eve at 8:00pm I was travelling South on the Brighton Road, Purley, Croydon with my sister and had just come through the lights at the junction of Old Lodge Lane (some of you might know it). On approaching the speed camera some F*****...

I was given a spare Exalto for xmas (thanks Dad!), my plan being to have a spare to take to a tyre guy if I need a new one after a puncture.
When returning home today I was surprised how neatly it fitted on the floor of the boot, and this got me thinking.

So we've had the best, it seems most of my ex cars are rubbish, so what's the worst car you've ever driven?
Mine has got to be that Ford capri, it belonged to an ex gf, had no tax or mot and was horrible it used to go round corners like a big jelly, the best drive i had in it was to the breakers :)
I have been thinking about chucking the trophy in for something more fun, getting a bit bored. Im mainly looking at the bargain monaro vxr's that have just come on the market maybe even a 500 version but im a bit worried i may wish i hadnt bothered. Want something with a bit more grunt and a...
Not a thread where I'm about to announce i'm selling 328..... I was involved in a crash 5 weeks ago which saw the car written off. In avoiding a car my side of the road on a country lane I managed to destroy a fence, avoid a house and end up resting on a railway sleeper in someone elses front...

Anyone any idea how the gearknob comes off, does it simply unscrew?
Ive never really liked the clios plastic gearknob and fancy swapping it for a nice leather momo one or something similar. With it being a lift up reverse the choice of suitable gearknobs is a bit limited - anyone changed theirs?
just got the new 100th edition of EVO (corner bashed in as per usuall !!! so much for the improved packing we were promised last year!!)

Can anybody please tell me where i can find the chassis number of my trophy. I cant seem to find a plate or anything under my bonnet like in my old car.
thanks
It'd been 20 odd days since my last outing in the trophy due to being busy and the rubbish weather we've been having. However my power steering pump failed on my daily driver (206) so i've been "forced" to drive the trophy. I woke up excited to drive it and got to work with a grin on my face...
