Not too far from London to Oxford I 'spose

Sniffpetrol - not seen that before. The 4C's lights are as bad as we were expecting. Looks like might be a burgeoning aftermarket in normal looking headlights for it (a mod even Smaky might approve of?) Still would though, obviously.

Got me thinking, as my 147 was an import through Virgin Cars. I have the original registration document/certificate from Italy, stamped by DVLA when they issued a UK reg no, and the car is RHD. But is the UK spec undersealing more thorough than it would have been for Europe?

That's usually because the shocks are shot. Oh, wait, I see Yep, they do - easier to work on and built using proper stuff.

There, fixed that for you No seriously, driveshafts shouldn't need replacing at 20k (unless it is massively over-chipped and you have been driving like an idiot) - you don't have to be Mr Smaky to realise that. Hope you find the root-cause and it doesn't cost an arm/leg to get it sorted.

Devil's in the details... Sunday 11th August 2013, Postcode: ME4 4TE Non AROC members in an Alfa pay £11.50 per person. AROC members pay £8.00 per person, standard (non-Alfa anything) entrance is £17.50 per person. More details here: http://www.aroc-uk.c...tional-alfa-day Would be up for that, as it would be great to see where my Grandfather plied his trade.

Tried to park my quality Fiat Panda in the middle of these two gems, when some Ferrari shitbox sneaks in That ladies and gents is the new F12 Reckon its wingmirrors are worth more than the cars parked next to it.

RS4 Avant RS6 Avant (with the Lambo V10 engine)

I agree M. My old man has a 2007 7 Series, and I think it's pig ugly from the outside and a bit ostentatious (he agrees on the latter), but is great on the inside. Perhaps I should point him towards one of these, so he can be a bit more subtle about it?

What did you have to do Anj to find out? I don't think my life will ever be the same again after what I went through....

Agree, Kiss is pants, but I wouldn't have thought that VW had the average Kiss listener in mind when designing the car. It was the juxtaposition that amused me, like if a fully modded Saxo was tuned to R4.

Love the fact that it's tuned to Kiss 100

Harsh (but) Fair Though by the time I got home Mr Smaky had answered it for you, so job already done

I know I know I know That is all.

Like Flynn

Only if I can have dinner with your boyfriend afterwards.

Come here and say that and I'll scratch your eyes out and pull your hair, bitch

Does he know where you live?

No hand-holding (not on a first date anyway ) but will be there to make sure you don't get lost.

Biggy's only kidding - Tyas hasn't doubled his prices.

Yes, aware it sounds but am still peeling the skin off my face as a result of severe gypsy sunburn from our visit to the Enfield Motor Pageant. and am too tight to buy my own

Can only do the Sharnbrook Sunday thang, but will def be there. (LJ, will you bring the suncream please )

Am sure this was mentioned in another thread somewhere (Bigdar's thread about dodgy pubs in Southampton?), but thought it should be a separate topic. http://www.beaulieu.co.uk/beaulieu-events/club-rally/simply-italian Shamelessly stolen text from said page: Come to Beaulieu in your Alfa Romeo on Sunday 30 June for ‘Simply Alfa Romeo’.

OK, technically there isn't any one place called a members' area. But when not logged in I can only see the Welcome, Tech Zone, Events & Market Square boards. Logged in I also get Car Chat, Social Network, Fun Stuff & Under the Hood boards, making them members' areas in all but name.

Most of the banter takes place in the members' area, so you chose wisely
