  1. This any good? https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=astra ... 20&bih=632
  2. Not so. Going up a tooth from 14 to 15 on the front will be a jump three times as much as going down one tooth on a 45t rear. Think about it.
  3. Friend of mine opened a shop selling Bonsai trees....He did so well he had to move into smaller premises .
  4. The mechanic needs another fiddle with the clutch, he's adjusted it so it's slipping. And get it done sooner rather than later before you burn the clutch out.
  5. That's the standard excuse of anyone caught for the same crime. Why take a chance on frightening someone so much that they might go straight to the police when there are scores of mugs looking for easy money?
  6. The girls on here are very fair minded. I expect most of them would agree with the blowjob and a sandwich suggestion.
  7. Like a woman's going to do either...
  8. How true. When my much loved Capri died on me a few years back a quick check under the bonnet it was one of those simple little things that had caused it to stop. A piston had come through the side of the block.
  9. There's enough electronic shite fitted to modern cars, much of which is unreliable, hard to fault diagnose and always costs a fortune to fix. No thanks.
  10. I disagree fundamentally with the views expressed so far. In my opinion you should not be allowed to drive unless you are as pissed as a fart. I know it would be dangerous, but you wouldn't give a shit.

    Burning oil???

    I'd be worried too. Metal shavings in the oil means one or more internal components has suffered serious damage. You need to get used to checking the oil level regularly, not just waiting till you notice a problem. What does the engine sound like?

    Rust

    Chrome is porous and water will get always through into the metal underneath. It needs a regular wipe with an oily rag or whatever commercial products that form a barrier to seal it from the wet.
  13. You guys really ought to try the bikes. I'd love this - http://www.modelsport.co.uk/anderson-ra ... ucts/33660 Both mine are the old Kyosho Hang On Racers I bought over a decade ago, both still running and fantastic fun. An off roader would be awesome.
  14. Hey, I've got three electric Tamiya cars and two Kyosho motorcycles, all kit built. I don't race but it's a fascinating past-time and I love building the kits and upgrading them, proper ball races etc. I'm about due another one, I think.
  15. I use chain wax myself, though you'll get as many recommendations as there are brands of lube. If you commute in all weathers a daily spray of oil during the wet spells won't do any harm, if you're a sunny weekend warrior like myself just do it when it looks like it's getting dry.
  16. Watching Leonardo Decaprio's character drown during Titanic and being able to resist bursting out laughing.
  17. Unless I'm at the front or rear of a line of vehicles (Both places you're likely to get nicked) I go with the flow and sod the limit.
  18. Sorry, I don't get it at all. Can you explain?
  19. A mate got two front tyres on his wife's car for her birthday,,,,,,, don't think it went well tbh I'm not surprised. New tyres should always go on the rear.
  20. The CX500 was developed from a Honda project bike which had the same engine but only 360cc and that put out 38.5 BHP, so your bike will be nudging fifty. No matter how many miles on the clock it won't have dropped to anywhere near 33BHP. Get it restricted or invite a whole load of trouble.
  21. I haven't felt fully awake since 1973.
  22. Hear hear!!! Central locking is a lovely little toy - till it goes wrong. Over two hundred cigarette vouchers to fix Mrs SJ's locks when it went wrong. And you can stick your colour coded bits of tissue paper and fit proper bumpers too.
  23. Plugs would be my first port of call too. They are service items that need replacing several time in the life of a bike and were something that was routinely checked in the past but tend to be neglected these days because the tank needs to come off to get them out.
  24. Aye, once you get to a certain age your insurance is the other thing that doesn't go up much.
