Post pictures and stories about your cars both present and past. Also post up "blogs" on your restoration projects - the more pictures the better! Note: blog-type threads often get few replies, but are often read by many members, and provide interest and motivation to other enthusiasts so don't be disappointed if you don't get many replies.

I should have mentioned this before, but if your car has one of the tiny filters I was referring to you I suggest that you install a larger after-market unit. My filter was so small that one less-than-pristine fill-up would clog it again. Glad you resolved the problem wither way!!!

Inspired by you, I've bought an Oldsmobile which ran great guns for 200 miles, then conked out; closest approximation I could think of was fuel evaporation, but it turned out to be coilpacks - I should have recognised it, I've had an overheating coil in an Allegro before Still, that caused issues after just 5 miles!
Inspired by me? You f*ckin' nutter!
Pictures ,more info please ?
Have you forgotten that once we were brought here we were robbed of our names,robbed of our language,we lost our religion,our culture,our God? And many of us by the way we act,we even lost our minds.
1989 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Coupe, 2.8 V6 with the FWD gearbox (W-body platform). "Inspired" in the sense of considering a more modern but imported car to fulfil my "large brood" requirement (see General Chat); yay for 3+3 seating!
Pictures will be forthcoming when I collect it from Paragon MoT in Northampton, which is as close as I got to home All I have at the moment are the FleaBay auction pics (which aren't representative, but in a good way!)

You could always say you want to re-enact carmageddon

Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.
That's rather tasty,I do like those VW Caddys when they're all jazzed up.
