I was amazed when I went to go around a 5 degree corner and realised I was going to have to stop and reverse!
That's some good compression FCM, these engines should do 300,000 if properly looked after.

Just typos. Should say compression. The 5 numbers is a clue smile

No need to be like that, we is just having a laugh. People will always help you on here smile

I can't remember for sure but I'm sure your original post didn't read like that when I posted crazy

As Emjay said I would of assumed they were typos, not spelling mistakes smile


<edit> was going to ask why you are selling up, especially if your coop sounds heathy, but I just checked your previous posts and read about your shop going under. Bad luck mate. Hope everything works out for you. If you need a car though, you maty as well keep the coop. They dont sell for much and they dont cost that much more to run than any other really frown </edit>

Priceless, dont take it to heart as C2D has said.
Facetious comments are quite common on here, personally I dont jump at the first sight of a kill.....
On the other hand if Im pushed a bit, that's another story wink

All in all there is a friendly atmosphere to be had on here...... laugh

Just an observation, but its usually the younger ones who get worked up the most laugh


I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

true this forum is full of a mixture, most are sound people by the looks of things but a lot of them are complete geeks i wont name names but you know who you are! who get carried away over someones grammer and spelling but they are just losers who live for an internet forum. I wouldnt let it put me off owning a car or get upset by it. Sounds like the above was only light hearted.

! was only messing fella. I agree with above, 170-175 isn't that rather high? Usually see 160 across the board.

Definitely in jest. Good one ;-)

btw, I am amazed at how solid these cars are. Having coming from Porsche previously, the build in some areas is better on our coupes ... and parts and labour so much cheaper! = bargain of the decade.
