    Road Rage

    Guy will go to jail forever, may get the death penalty. 99.998% of legal gun owners in USA will go on forever. One less moron on the street. Not sure what the problem is lol. In UK guy could have just blocked off and took out a knife.....When you calculate the ratio per city it's far more...

    MOT Mileage in KM & Miles

    Drove a 640D for a few weeks last year with a remap and really liked it tbh, fairly quick and comfy. It's a lot of car for the money as depreciation has hit them hard. I looked at 335D's but hard to find a decent LCI and they are again owned by some questionable characters sometimes. I am open...

    MOT Mileage in KM & Miles

    That is what concerns me also is selling it on in a few years. But tbh if its all legit its not exactly hard to see that mot tester screwed up, it all converts properly. Still thinking it all over. Autotrader is crap with the price system as it doesn't take into account the optional extras from...

    MOT Mileage in KM & Miles

    Why not, dealerships do it all the time. It's just a gesture of goodwill to show you are serious. If you messed the owner about then he then could just tell you to **** off and keep the money. In this case we cant do anything anyway until V5 comes in.

    MOT Mileage in KM & Miles

    Jesus ****** Christ! I spoke to the guy this morning and we agree if I want it we are just going to have to wait for the log book to arrive, then I can do final checks. I left him £100 deposit which he is happy to refund if I find something else in the meantime.

    MOT Mileage in KM & Miles

    It's a UK RHD car 3rd owner took it to Spain in winter. It has warranty which he will transfer over to me apparently. He just wants a newer car as cars have moved on and for him the 6 series is a bit dated he wants a hybrid mainly. Has 2 newish Toyo Proxies on rear and newish Hankook on the...

    MOT Mileage in KM & Miles

    Some MOT testers just don't care in fairness, they just write the number down. Especially when the clock face shows MPH. The 6 weeks part does make me wonder. It runs and drives very nicely and has full service history. He apparently had one back in the day and liked it so wanted another but...

    MOT Mileage in KM & Miles

    If there is some elaborate way the car could be a ringer. Had the MOT KM / Miles issue loads of times with jap imports but never with a UK car.

    Car terminology that makes you cringe

    Mate my 2nd car is a 300bhp track car that weighs around 890kg. Pretty sure I know how to 'modulate' my left foot from my right. Basically the VW car is a load of crap compared to a Jap car from Toyota or Honda form the same eara, cutting the power on the break and the accelerator is an idiotic...

    Car terminology that makes you cringe

    Lol I once drove a Seat Arosa Sport like a knob and did left foot braking..........The **** cut the power and nearly span me out at over 60mph. Holy lift off oversteer batman! Did some instant research and saw that some cars do it. What a idiotic design, probably made for safety by somebody but...

    Car terminology that makes you cringe

    Describing forged engines as 'built' WTF does that even mean. Every engine is 'built'. People who have never driven a fast car describing a 2.0 diesel BMW etc as very quick. A guy at my old work used to always refer to his old Vectra SRI like it was some amazing quick car, used to make me...

    **Unofficial Tyre Thread**

    This is the attitude your average person has who will just stick the cheapest rubbish on their car. Funny thing is a ok tyre like a Rainsport 5 isn't even expensive and does well in the wet and dry. Buying budget ditch finders is funny. Can literally make all the difference between having a...

    Thanks mate. I checked all that when buying it, its spotless. I think the facelift changed the seal to stop water getting in. Just picked up some new Brembo front discs and pads for it to replace the crappy EBC grooved discs. HKS kit is around £460+, also just found out today that it has a...

    I don't often post on here but when I do this forum is great entertainment. Me included, I am indulging right now. But this guy was drunk at 5:52pm. Judging by the 1st post. Here you go, also included a pic of a 2ZZ engine bay on a Corolla just so you don't get confused between a 1999 Starlet...

    Feel like I am wasting my time here. But here we go. Are you drunk or something? That's because that's my 1999 Glanza V which I built myself for weekends and track use, the badge in the lower right part may give it away :cry: if you can't discern a Starlet engine bay with a Corolla T Sport...

    Lol mental isn't it. I build my own engines and do all my own work except gearboxes and get slammed by some random person on a forum for having a rotten sill on a Corolla which I literally bought to have a free car for a few years and make money on top in the end. Strange if you ask me but hey...

    Who has ****** in your sippers? What the hell are you on about. I bought it on 130K miles when the sill was already starting to rot for £1,500. With the sole intention of making more money when I break it for parts which is what I am about to do hence the new daily driver. Maybe you want to...

    Lol what a strange comment......Thanks , nice judgement there. :rolleyes: The car has 150K miles on it and was starting to rot 3 years ago when I bought it for £1,500 with all the rare bits on it. Considering I also own a 1999 Glanza V with 304bhp which is in better condition than most cars on...
