Cheers Murf! :-D @Stu - There'll definitely be a meet of some description this weekend, and hopefully all will fall into place in the next couple of weeks, so get that GT polished - you know you're going to make a certain someone paint code 321 with jealousy! ;-) Can someone who has Roo's number may...

Well she may be pretty on the outside, but the saying "Beauty's only skin deep." comes to mind after investigating the ubiquitous puddle in the boot. Not the usual leaky lights here I'm afraid, possibly a slightly dodgy tailgate rubber but the main problem is serious rust around about where the top ...

I've always quite liked the Celica GT4, not sure if you could get a really good one for £2500 but can't be much more... Other than that there're a few real classics I've always fancied - Triumph GT6, Saab 96 V4, Triumph Vitesse convertible, Volvo PV544 Sport (don't think they made any RHD), the lis...

Hey Steve, I haven't tried it, but I can't imagine there's any way you'll get the midsection over the axle - the way the exhaust loops up to go over the axle would mean having to rotate the section up near the cat up into the car. If you can't get the parts separated try whacking them good and hard ...

The WWII story seems to prevail at http://www.ducktapeclub.com/university/duckvsduct.asp - "a place for Duck Tape enthusiasts to have a good time" :shock:

Glencoe!?! Yeah, just a little bit further... ;-) The chippy in Callander has always been pretty good. Is there a campsite just to the southside of Lochearnhead, on the banks of Loch Lubnaig? Maybe it's the one you're thinking of Murf? Only thing about camping next to a loch at that time of year wil...

Sorry to hear about your accident - I think the worst part is the sinking feeling you get straight afterwards, before you know if everyone is ok - good to hear everyone is. IIRC the lights clip into the nose cone so if you can swap it it'll probably sort that problem too. At least it sounds like the...
