click on your user name and you can view other posts by yourself. no need for me to do it for you as you have also said before when people have asked you for links to prove what you have said.


Clearly this is more about your dislike for me than anything else.

Do grow up.
 
Hmmmm... Take this off topic and link up car manufacturers with some common things...

Start with a link with Ford to Fiat and so on....

The KA is based on the Fiat 500, the 1.3 diesel is used by both linking through to Vauxhall who also use the same engine as do Suzuki in the Swift, Suzuki and Fiat worked together to produce the Sedici and SX4.

The Fiat Scudo is made by PSA group in France, the 2.0 Diesel engine is the same engine used in the Ford Focus and other ford models and PSA models also in Volvos to.

I can go on linking manufacturers if you want????

Toyota have a link with BMW in that the first BMW used the Toyota 1.4 d4d engine and recently Toyota now use BMW Diesel engines like the 1.6 engine in the Verso and Anensis. Previously Mini used the 1.6hdi engine that was also used in the Fiat Scudo van. The original 1.6 petrol engine in the Mini Cooper was designed by Chrsyler and started life at some point in the Neon.....
 
Car goes in for it's service and mot tomorrow, not concerned about that. But I'm booked for a courtesy car and have a country house wedding to go to in the afternoon...please god don't let it be a Mitsubishi Mirage again people will think I'm delivering pizza.
 
Good news; all the welding is done just in time for the rain to start. :)


Bad news; the pattern part was so "far out" it belonged at Woodstock rather than on a Panda so I've had to use filler. :(


The filler dates back to when I was fitting the Sebring kit to my MGB GT in 2004 so you get an idea of how much I like the stuff.
 
london under stuff i didnt know

There are about 40 abandoned or relocated stations on the Underground network along its entire 255 miles (408Km) of trackway - some subsurface and some above ground. Some have vanished without trace whereas others are almost intact, grimey time capsules of the era when they were closed.

Not in the least bit interested. It's more Londistan than London now.


It's cause you're from the other side of Hadrians wall. :p take the dog for a walk through white chapel where our friend lives and it's like the parting of the Red Sea (they don't like dogs)

what do you mean? :confused:


It's fairly self explanatory. Kurdistan, Pakistan Afghanistan, Londistan.
 
Took the Panda Fizz for M.O.T this morning. Half an hour later VOSA reports the new updated system has shut down.

The M.O.T place is new for me but the same one the Fizz has been going to all her life. With a repair bill of over £400 for the last failure (brake consumables and front tyres mostly) and the repairs I've made she should pass first time of asking right?

"Well it's been a few weeks since the car was here so it could fail on something else?"

While the conversation happened the head mechanic was on the phone to a customer saying the computer said this, this and that are wrong with your car (1996 Renault Clio) and he'll have to order parts in. :bang:

I hate new M.O.T guys. These appear to be about as trust worthy as Nick Leeson. I hope it fails on something they repaired last time of asking I'm sure VOSA and the Police would be interested in a fraud investigation and audit.
 
This is why I'm very thankful we've got friends who deal with MOTs and such. Means there's no messing around. They even book in at short notice. Don't know what I'll do if I ever need to go elsewhere. :(
 
I only went there because it will match all the old M.O.T's that came with the car that way.

She failed on welding. Not welding I had done but welding I had missed.

Re-booked for Friday afternoon as it's my brothers 50th tomorrow and I'm working night shift so it'll have to wait until Friday morning.

Oh and an exhaust rubber fell off on the way there. Bloody Potholes! :bang:

Well if you take the car back "several weeks later" you can't expect them not to want to do a full MOT

i only see Earhistanies


I have come not to disturb or destroy any faith, but to confirm each in his own faith - so that the Christian becomes a better Christian, the Muslim, a better Muslim, and the Hindu, a better Hindu. The person a better person.

There is only one religion, the religion of Love;
There is only one language, the language of the Heart;
There is only one caste, the caste of Humanity;
There is only one law, the law of Karma;

Start the Day with Love;
Spend the Day with Love;
Fill the Day with Love;
End the Day with Love;

Love in thought is Truth;
Love in action is Right Conduct;
Love in understanding is Peace;
Love in feeling is Non-Violence.

Bear all and do nothing;
Hear all and say nothing;
Give all and take nothing;
Serve all and be nothing.

Make your life a rose that speaks silently in the language of the heart.

Hands that help are holier than lips that pray.

Learn to give, not to take. Learn to serve, not to rule.

Action with Love is Right Conduct.
Speak with Love and it becomes Truth.
Thinking with Love results in Peace.
Understanding with Love leads to non-violence.

Yesterday has deceived you and gone, tomorrow is a doubtful visitor. Today is a fast friend, hold fast to it.

Wealth that you hoard is not yours, wealth that you have given is really yours.

Your virtue is your shield, your vice is the weapon that inflicts wounds on you.

If there is righteousness in the heart,
There will be beauty in the character.
If there is beauty in the character,
There will be harmony in the home.
When there is harmony in the home,
There will be order in the nation.
When there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world.

Walk this Earth with Your Heads held high, Your Spirits soaring, Your Hearts open to Love,
