Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

BRM- can we have a crack at my aircon this weekend? I have a "shade tree mechanic" fix for it which sounds easy. Involves wire, and no major unbolting.

Hmm if you fit PS pipes yourself you're still only saving ~£150. Bugger.

Found any 2nd hand PS pipes?

Rear box delete will still cost the same, no? Chop it out and weld in flanges for pipes will be same work as replacing box? You'll save the cost of the box but that can't be much...?

there was a set of pipes on ebay ended the other day :(

^ that is awful reading

In other news I may have someone to work on the VR6 for half what the garage wanted - if I can get the power steering pipes myself, and the before back box, I might be in with a shot of getting it fixed. Then sell it I reckon.

Backbox you say.......and pipes....

What are you doing on a London forum, bloody foriegners :P

Just a little bit ridiculous, gets more so about halfway through when the camera man pans.

cheers Lynx!

I emailed Pirtek they said yes, fine drop them off they can either repair or remanufacture! That's sounding better already!

hahahaha, rolling deep. Love that somebody turned up in a pink Rangie!
I re-watched the episode of Clarkson's Motorworld the other day when he was in Dubai. Crazy car culture!

i'll see. i need to be in cambridge at 6am tomorrow for that vscc thing in the riley^^^. if i am not too rooted, then sunday is cool. if i am - next weekend for sure.

last minute trip to BMW art car exhibition this evening, anyone?

ooh. let me check

what time, nursey?

I just got a phone call from my mate from Luxembourg. He's in town. I can't not see him. Sorry!

Is Tuesday good for you though?

no worries.

prob for the best.

next week?

yep - tuesday

It's in the calender. Anyone else coming?

yep - jung

dammit - i am coming to get the snot rod tonight. be there about 6:30, if you want to have a quick look at the ovlov

That'd be cool, I'm not exactly going anywhere right now so will be here.

Oh this little convoy was leaving for the Hayride just as I got back to the Workshop. The rod has a 500+ci RB stroker motor a lot like mine, the rest is all scratch built by the workshop - it's a wonderfully evil piece of kit. (oh and that is mine on the far right, bonnet up and not working properly as usual :) )

Is that thing road legal? No plate, exposed wheels, exhaust touchable.

Ages ago looked in to buy a model T chasis, then modifying and building a rod with modern ish road gear and those were the bits I was told or is it a No MOT thing?

there's something like that created from an e30 that's interesting

That'd be cool, I'm not exactly going anywhere right now so will be here.

I have a wheelchair if you want to come on Tuesday... We can take it in turns pushing you around?

He'll only get in it if it's been weighed.
