Pimping your own ride?

VW Golf.

( snipped-for-privacy@popstarz.org.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Fuck. Me.

Do these people have ANY taste whatsoever?

You want this, you do...

The message from Adrian contains these words:

Urgle.

"The /art/ of modification". Is that like "The art of puking all over the pavement outside the pub"? The results appear similar.

And the standard of the English...

"There are many beautifully designed cars on the road today from small hot hatches to awesome super cars, what makes them individual to you ?"

Halmyre ( snipped-for-privacy@this.address) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying :

Heh. Yep, saw that. I do like Sniff.

I think the funniest thing about this CarismaAutomotive lot is that they sound so much like they specialise in crap Mitsubishi saloons. Even down to the smelling pistake.

you know what mean gene, i walsy say to all the little hulkamniacs, eat your prayer, drink your vitamins and say your milk before you go to bed each night, and perty soon, you will also have a set of 24 inch pythons like me, oh yes brother, boom boom boom

I suspect that there were at least 3 members with the Ti in their fleet at one point brother, and then they sold them on after trying to change the brake pads or something equally horrible, it's apparently a job which requires removal of the hub bearings or something?

You mean the Flex Capacitor has to be removed?

Flex? Flux! D'oh!

The message from " dojj" contains these words:

I get emails offering me pills that claim to do that.

i got a little carried away :) wretling and all that, shawn micheal (hbk) did a parody of hulk hogan and it was in every other line the alt pro wrelitng wwf newsgroup is over run with brother threads at this time, but it was one of the best things in recent memory to happen outsied the ring :)

almost flex cavangh was the name the rock wrestled under in his first wwf apperance he was soundly thrashed

Nope. Turbo Rover's do not 'chip'*.

There's nothing wrong with the head gaskets on the TI, the engine is unbelievably strong and most of them come with metal head gaskets as standard.

Unfortunately they get a lot of bad press from the K series rubbed off on them ("it's a Rover, it'll have head gasket probs"). Fortunately they never stuck a K in there :)

There have been more than that.

heh, not quite that bad. You're thinking of the discs, which have to have the wheel bearing pulled to be changed.

Sort of, I know what you're on about. it's not a big problem tho and easily fixable.

It's more down to user ineptitude than anything else, it's easily spottable. If you ignore oil seeping out of your engine, then you can't really complain when bad things happen :)

Oh, ok.

Yeah, but didn't the T-series have HG-related problems relating to an oil feed going right through the block or something? I'm not really sure what I'm on about (no change there then), but a mate of mine had a Rover Vitesse (only the 180bhp version) and it had that problem, and it was supposedly a well-known problem. Did all of the 620tis feature an updated version of the same engine (not just 200bhp, but stronger HG) so that problem didn't cause the HG to blow then, or what?

omg, why would you advertise the name of the worst insurance company on the world on your car ?

Ah, it's a joke car surely, it must be given the state of the interior.

well the state of it looks ok to me, but the decor has alot to be desired

They all leak a *little*. It's nothing to worry about.

The problems come if the leak gets big, and the owner ignores it. Which is to be expected really :)
