country bumpkins aint the word mate!! Im waiting for civilisation to arrive down here! Some of the Lanes around here are great but cant take advantage of them because of the Tourists in the summer and the Ice in the winter!! It goes back to Red with Plenty of elbow grease, some Autoglym car shampoo,...

too right!!

Its very satisfying to get the pink back to red!! There always seems to be a bit on the car that turns back to pink quicker tho! Its the strip on the boot lid just below the boot spoiler! Red to pink in a few weeks!!!

Any Chance of posting up a link to 1024x768 size pic? i found a new background!!

I Used to have them on my N16 Almera, They are supposedly, but dont quote me, a higher performance plug?

I like that last pic! very arty!

I cant say i like em, but then it looks like the numbers are on a slant???!! On The front one at least... *thinks about booking optician's* They do give a very german-esk look to the car tho!!

Not as good as my red tho ;)

Malacite green??? What does that look like? Does anyone have an example?

off topic, but MrLazy, what wheels are those youve got on? look good! If they are normal BMW Wheels how did ya get them in 4 Stud?

Ouch! Some of ya guys dont hold back! But, each to their own and all as youve all said!

Nice colour tho!

Ha! The salt air down here/there is a complete pain! My car has been down here all her life and surprised its got a comparitivly little rust on it!

Distributor cap can be the cause of poor running and of not starting, but in no way is going to stop the engine turning over on the key! It will if the connection it has stop...

sorry guys, its just happened to me a few times on various cars and i know its happened to others and thats always cured it.

if its an intermittent problem and it fails to make any mechanical sound when you stick the key in then it may be the rotor arm in the distributor. disconnect the battery, give it a min for the eletrickery to dissapate, pop the top of the distribustor and give all of the metal heads and the rotor ar...
