I'm not totally sure on the facts of HIDs but I've been hearing things about the new MOT rules and that there's new guidelines on their use. If they are fitted to a car without the proper headlight i.e projector lenses, then they will be classed as a fail. Possibly something to think about if this i...

I might be wrong but I thought the S3 wings had a slightly more swept back indicator to S1/S2.

My first S3 came with 14" steels in 1.5ie guise.

You've done the Jedi mind tricks on me before John!

Dammit Shrew. Stop it with the temptations.

Tell you what. I'll have that P4 if you cover my divorce costs.

Oh I'd love to mate but as we all know these cars need a certain amount of fettling and while the kids are young I just don't have the time tbh.
That's the reason my 33 left me really. Lack of time
Anyhow, never say never eh?

Yeah. Alex sent me loads of pictures of my car back on the road. Gutted but pleased at the same time. Wish I had had the time to do it myself but it wasn't to be. I'd have another....... Maybe one day when time and funds allow! Hey, Shrew! Sorry about the absence. I forgot the holiday form! I'll try...

Bloody hell Johnboy. She's getting life again!
Long time no speak mate. Hope all is well with you. Not been on here for a long time but will be dropping by a bit more now to see progress on the 33.
Loving what you've done so far.

Ah, yep. Can see you now John. There with your good lady with a couple of jokers behind.

Had a look Iain. Couldn't see John but this chap doesn't look good.

Well Kev you learn new things everyday. I always thought that the vic check was brought in to check repairs were done to a roadworthy level. Just to check the identity of a car seems like a huge waste of time to me and something the mot boys could have done in a jiffy.

Me too.

Bad idea imo.
An MOT wont pick up on chassis alignment etc and all manner of bodges will be out there. The reason it was brought in was for that surely?

Another bad idea was the scrapping of MOTs for pre '60's cars.

Iain......you made it.

Yep, we need some updates of what you've been up to.

9 months with no skiing?

You been pregnant or summat?

I like the seventh one. I can imagine him in his driving test.

Looks nice John.

Some people like fiberglass. Remember this John

Oh, and by the way......holy crap that's bad.

Reminded me of the Fokker Triplane







Looks like some Fokker has been at that BX too.

Is the 156 going then John or are you just adding to the clan?

Black is cool as but I couldn't bring myself to have another as you know what a PITA it is to keep clean. Go silver......

Oh beeehave.

Setting up another forum for the moderns eh?

I sense global domination coming on.
