Scooby Pete Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Regards nobbers wanting to race. The thing I like about the hatch is it's a lot more stealth than a rally blue saloon. I don't get a lot of nobbers pestering me, have a few Beemers give it some at the lights, I just switch to S# and leave them standing at the lights, if I get time I'll turn the traction control off aswell mmwwwwaaarrrgghhhhh! Regards lorries, although never driven one, I am pretty conscious of what it takes to drive one so will give room at turnings or not pull in front if I want to turn off knowing they take a lot to stop. Same goes for bikes I'll move over and give them room to pass safely in traffic not pull out in front ect, however it is nice for both the biker and trucker to acknowledge you. Which is few and far between. In fairness though for bike it's the mopeds and scooters that don't give a toss, bikers tend to be much better. Cyclists however is another matter!

stants Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Found out my low fuel warning light does work, only taken me a year to find out. Stupid sat nav took me on a 40mile round trip when it should have been 20 max. Did see 5 or 6 monaros/ vxr's and an r34 hammering it up the m1 into leeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david1972 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Today, the plan is to kick on with my NBO prep by removing, sanding off the rust, then priming and painting my rear wiper arm with some satin black paint [emoji41] Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'm sure the surround is fake screws I think you need to take it all out and under it it's held with two screws 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Finished blacking my tyres now. Both cars showroom ready. Just off into the garden with a cider and the dog has his paddling pool which is usually hilarious to watch.
