  1. Makes my increase from 141 to 177 seems reasonable. Still going to looks around though. Not looking forward to my daily cars renewals
  2. That's an amazing car for sure. An engine bay like that is to die for. Sooooooo much money spent.
  3. I don’t think it’s biased I just think it’s dumbed down. It’s erring on the side of sensationalism and they deliberately avoid any context to enable people to see the whole picture. I suppose that could be seen as biased but not in any particular direction, it’s just very poor reporting. Veering a little off topic…… Back to topic, there seems to be a bit of a swing towards Hydrogen. Toyota have always (in my view) favoured this and now BMW seem to be saying it will be all they focus on. I very much support the Hydrogen route but it still makes for the bland EV driving experience but this is something that is going to be unavoidable.
  4. Well well, I have been approved for 'Players Parc Du Concours' at the Players Classic. I think it just means I can park inside the grounds rather than out on the field. My son hasn’t had his confirmed (yet) and he is rather miffed I have also been allowed to display in the “deadline” display at Retro Rides. My car must be sooooooo special 😂
  5. The BBC is one of the worst places to get your info. It is so dumbed down and lacking in context it is basically worthless. For example, 1 million EVs registered? How many of those are full EV, hybrid, self charging or plug in? How many of those 1 million are still on the road? How many are lease cars (they are still registered) and how many are company vehicles, how many privately owned? The graph showing charging stations to number of population. How is that relevant? How many children are driving EVs? Why not how many charging points per EV on the road or even better a graphic showing concentration of chargers against concentration of EVs that need to be plugged in. Cost. Anyone can look on a manufacturers website and see how much they cost but what is always missing from any report is the cost of production against a conventional car and then the ongoing costs “like for like”. I’ve not seen a graph which shows insurance costs of EVs against conventional cars.
  6. Ha! It’s already on Facebook that Newey wants to go to Ferrari. It must be true then
  7. Apparently he has been asked to step down while the investigation is carried out but has refused. I don’t like Horner so as you say Chris, probably nothing will happen except some poor person will lose their job for speaking out. Maybe more will step forward as is common in these cases.
  8. So is this the end of Red Bull as we know it? There are all sorts of rumours flying around but I can’t imagine a multi national company like Red Bull messing about when it comes to firing time. Could Adrian Newey jump ship and end up at Ferrari to give Lewis his (official) eighth title? Could the team that used to be called Toro Rosso go under as well? This is the most interesting thing to happen in F1 for years
  9. Ok, in that case can you send me an invoice for another £15 and I’ll join as Gruppe IB.
  10. Is it not possible for you to clear out some of my attachments to free up some space for me?
  11. Mmm… I think there may be a difference between Gruppe IB and Supporter levels of access. If there is it has sort of defeated the object of me re-supporting. I wanted to post some free stuff in the for sale section and update on my other classics threads.
  12. I hope you are going to get those trailing arms blasted and powder coated TB?
  13. The next question, of course, will be which number terminals are which.
  14. You’re such an arrrr5e No, I’m done with those thank you. What I need is a moderator……
  15. Doesn't work on my desktop either. Maybe you can only delete if you have GruppeIB membership?
  16. Nope, that doesn’t work. Tried it every which way. In fact when I do that on my tablet (iPad crap) it opens a new tab and freezes IB.com. I can’t go back and have to close down and reopen. Ill try it on the desktop.
  17. One thing at a time, let’s start with this forum……..
  18. The Ford EDIS is not COP it’s a coil pack. Just search Ford EDIS coil pack, there are loads.
  19. @johndglynn ? 17 years of photos adds up
  20. Amazed these haven’t sold, such a good upgrade for an SC.
  21. Can anyone assist? I need to post some pictures but I am over my allowance so I need to delete some. I can’t see how to do this.
  22. Lots of progress and looking good Many of us have drilled and replaced broken exhaust studs lying on our backs with bits of swarf falling on our faces. It’s not that difficult, I don’t know how much your guy is charging you but worth considering. IMVHO ditch that bumper it’s ugly. Go for an original with modified mounts if you have to.
  23. Nissan Prince R380-IIs https://mycarquest.com/2022/01/the-nissan-prince-r380-a-winning-race-car.html It is certainly a stunner
  24. The coil pack on my ex-car is a Ford EDIS. It’s generally the go to, plug and play.
  25. There is no way, after all your measuring and testing and measuring and testing that you are going to mess it up. Not to mention, with all the extra new bits and improvements, as Baz says, it’s going to be better than factory. The weather is going to be good this weekend so you will be able to get it fitted. I think we are all more confident and excited than you are
