BHP per tonne

I often see this figure being quoted as a good measurement of the power of a car but I have no idea how to work it out - it's not that I don't know how to divide one by the other - I've just no idea on how much a tonne is and how much (say) a 3.2 carrera weighs in terms of tonnes - I seem to remembe...

I certainly am chomping away!

Always feel a bit flat going into the new year so it's going to be graet to have something this special to look forward to

Now off to get shitfaced at the office party!

Hmmm - that's a bit more radical than I wanted. I was considering blood orange bumpers with a black stripe..... Maybe for the future.

I've got a spare RS front bumper in the attic - May paint that up in the future so can swap them over easily if I wanted a more 'in yer face' look

OK here's a pic - not got any 'before' pics though http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a314/markslade/various009.jpg Not surprisingly the wire wool has scratched it, but it does make it look older. Bugger - I've tried twice now and can't get a decent close-up picture of it - you'll have to take my wor...

Just got mine today - many thanks Darren. They look pretty good but as was said previously, very shiny. I painted some bleach onto mine (tried the back first) - left it there a for about an hour. Didn't seem to do anything really - some black stuff came off when I wiped it (then rinsed it) but could...

Nige - you're absolutely right - I've had to order the plates as "show plates" and I'll just risk it. My reg is non-year anyway so no-one will know it's not a '73 car unless they check out the V5 document. Thanks for the car collection offer - I think I'll sort it out somehow :lol: Alam - ...

Hi Andy,

Steve (the owner) says it could be next week! I think that's a bit optimistic - I'd be happy with any time before Christmas. Can't wait to drive it again though - this nissan micra is p1ssing me off.

Gary - yes - it does look very similar to yours.

Thanks everyone for all your comments - yes I'm very excited. Had small problem with the heated windscreen - the company supplying it won't deliver it! The garage are going to have to send someone down there to pick it up which is a bit of a pain and will add to the cost of the windscreen. Just popp...

Just went on the site - for a 3.2 carrera it recommended redstuff ceramic but I couldn't find a description of this anywhere on the site - only of redstuff - did you phone them to discuss it?
