Naff car accessories of one`s own youth :) 25 Jan 2008 (Forum)
We often laugh at today`s youth with those `dustbin` exhausts and front `splitters` being ripped off by road humps, but what about your own past? I`m almost sure I stuck some of those fake bullet holes on something long ago.... Bet that would go down well now, in certain parts of Manchester -

American anger over BP oil leak 29 Jun 2010 (Forum)
being we don`t give a toss - and wear it as underpants. I mean, It`s an accident isn`t it? It`s not as though BP has said `your mega trucks that you use as personal transport use so much fuel -- that we`ll just flood the Gulf of Mexico with oil and it should last you a week or so given your world -
Long gone parts availability. 1 Feb 2010 (Forum)
You know how it is. Anything more substantial than an oil filter and it`s got to be ordered in. An exaggeration perhaps? Yes, but not much. Contrast that situation, with our local BMC parts dept in the 60`s. I was in regular contact with the affable bloke at the parts desk - in the massive -
