those Amazonian tribes just always manage to avoid the blame !

p.s Mike, I hope to be able to get up to get your seatbelt socket tomorrow and pop it in the post with your clamps. Sorry for the delay.

In the words of Jethro "Wha' bloodyhells tha'?"

Petrol 1.9 8v

Galloping Knob Rot

So is galloping knob rot caused by non 16V petrols, or is there just a strong positive correlation between people who already have it and their choice of vehicle?

I'm assuming that it is infectious of course, wonder what the method of transmission is?

I like badgers, they're cute.

lol Badger and Blade sounds like a dodgy pub! Perhaps owned/frequented by anti-badger TB nuts (when there is no scientific evidence of a correlation).

I see, you're one of those lurking types

as long as you don't have intent, eh?

why manual transmission of course

saintjamesy89 · Post by **saintjamesy89** » Wed Feb 08, 2012 10:44 pm

P'rhaps semi-automatic? With a component of manual of course

with overdrive

Must be an electrically switchable hi and low ratio option too i'd think, thinking of the logistics and circumstances

BX Meteor · Post by **BX Meteor** » Wed Feb 08, 2012 11:03 pm

and then there'd be the kangaroo start to make the transmission worse

saintjamesy89 · Post by **saintjamesy89** » Wed Feb 08, 2012 11:14 pm

and then there's the whole issue of launch control! (or lack of in 16/19's)

. I've moved this post elsewhere (more pics are on autoshite ...nothing to do with me)

Well, it had been relisted with BIN of £795 (I suspect that we all thought it best to leave the seller in peace)

.....and it ended yesterday evening, ad says "sold for £600".
If I'd known that the seller was going to let it go for that, I would have been tempted !!
