From what I know this is only true if it hasn't got an island in the middle. If it has, the the driver can go on a flashing amber light. I'd wait personally plus pedestrians have right of way on the road too. Works the same with zebra crossings, if they are crossing from your side to the other...

I know a fair few FWD cars running in the 13 second area, but if you can keep the power up, a 4wd car will win. It will always have more grip than a RWD car but the problem is having a car that has the power to overcome losses. Dave

I can never remember if thats a Mk2 or 3. Ahh well, i'd keep her looking subtle. Nothing too lary and stick a big engine in. I'm sure that model came with a 2 lt, that'd be a good laugh. Maybe turbo her. But then I'm into sleeper cars more than bodykit type cars so thats just me. Look good...

To be honest,running any electric device is worse for environment. More strain on alternator/compressor so more power. Changing to an electric fan, not mechanical, unlocks 4 horses on some cars. Thats just cos electric can run when needed, not all the time. Dave

Actually, I only have only have 2 spots. Either side of the grill. Not a standard pattern I admit but works well. When I get her onthe road. And I agree, the roads in yorkshire are so fun. Beautiful and very fun.. Dave

In yorkshire i've been in really bad fog about 5-6t times a year, and I mean really bad fog. Once I drove with the door open and kept an eye on the white lines in the middle of the road. Couldnt even see the road out the front. Thats why I wouldn't mind them. Near the moors and all so probably...

Yeah, my mini will cock a leg when you ride her hard... Cheers for clearing it up, I know what it is, I just never heard the term before. I wouldn't mind finding out what i'd do, but like I said, only been in that situ once so in the future, who knows... Dave

The spots are on a different circuit.Gonna have a floor mounted dimmer switch plus a kill switch on dash. Just for windy roads round yorkshire when you need more lighting. They are mounted in my grill so they will be legal on last 2 points. What about fogs? They are lower than bumper aint they...

:mad: did you have to pick up on that. Of course, there is the saying that according to drivers, everyone is above average as no one will admit they are bad. But if you look at average John Doe, i'm not sure he would always know what to do in a skid. I find I know generally what to do, although...

For variable valve timing one you forgot rovers VVC-Variable Valve Control(I think) SIP Side impact protection (no idea why I still remember that, it's old) OHC Over head cam DOHC Dual overhead cam FQ ******* quick(Another word for very) Evo heritage Dave

I've put the Veyron in a class with the Maclaren F1. Both were made at a loss as an engineering exercise and went like the brown stuff off a shovel. Dave

I have to say I reckon I have an above average chance of recovering from a skid. I dunno if it's just the term though but I haven't a clue what countersteering is. When you say skid I guess your talking about oversteer skids. Understeer skids used to be an every day occurance. I've lost the...

Classic mini, Kristin Kreuk and a long, remote, cold road. So when the A series dies from water in the dizzy, we'd have to conserve body heat :-D Or Ferrari 250GTO with aformentioned beauty and, yeah, the alps... Dave

For a £3 bulb(i'm a cheapskate) why not change them straight away, I always do. As for modifications, don't care about my corsa, but my mini i'm planning to modify. Have some decent bulbs in normal headlamps, gonna get some 100W in my spots(semi legal, ahem) and brake, indicator, reverse etc...

http://www.geocities.com/jharkola/Viku2.html I know I go on about mini's, but I love them. You think 2 engines in a 306 is mad, there are a fair few people who have twin engined mini's. My fave one is someone who put twin Hayabusa 1400 engines in a mini. Think they were 1400 anyway. 240hp...
