The first time out on track two laps in and the temp gauge went flying up the dial, when coming into the pits the fire crew followed me in as there was so much steam they thought it could be o...

Re: Will using higher RON or Super Unleaded fuel help my car?
I use super Shell, two reasons the first the petrol station is only 250 Metres from home and our premium is only 94Ron.

Re: How did these pass an MOT!!!!!
That is horrendous! They did not get it that state in the last four months, not unless this car has been driving along beaches in and out of the sea. I would go back to the garage that issued the MOT and have a word with the manager. I would make it clear that if I wasn't satisfied with the explana...

Re: MGF splitter in BRM Orange
We never had the BRM look on anything MG over here, and that's a pity. Don't worry about originality, your the one that owns it and drives it .

85th Anniversary Speed Stipes
I need the dimensions of the speed stripes that appear on the 85th Anniversary.
the distance from the bonnet edge width of the stripe then the gap before the thinner stripe then the width.
I am going to put them on my Black Pearl 80th in a color that match the Grenadine of the seats.
