Re: Electric vehicles, pros and cons. Have your say.

Maybe they'll realise windows you can see out of are more important than pillars so strong you can pile trucks on roof too. But somehow I doubt they'll ever get that sensible.

Re: EBay Finds

What a mentalist. That thing was getting a proper move on. Normally when you see that sort of stunt speed like that isn't involved.

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

I used to do the odd but of welding when I was younger in an exhaust factory but it's a skill I really want to learn properly. Especially considering I own a Peugeot and a ford.

Easy enough job to do,just fit an inlet manifold and intercooler from an rhz 110 2.0 HDI. They never was fitted in the B...
