These changes are to ensure stricter compliance with RFC2369 and RFC8058 (which are the internet standards for such things), there are also some additions for Microsoft-specific rules which are...

Windscreen Wash

by RichardW » 28 Jan 2005, 14:21

Get some of Clearalex crystals or tablets (you can get them in Halfrauds). I have no idea what's in them, but it is unsurpassed for keeping windscreens clean. Takes a while to cut through the gunge initially but it gets there. Add some meths to the washers to stop them freezing (or some other screenwash additive if you don't like the smell!).

Where oh where can I get some decent screenwash?
Years ago I used to use Flash Liquid and the screen sparkled. Then they changed it and its as crap as everything else now, a nice film of traffic gunge smeared across the screen.

An article from a newspaper that might be of interest:-
A classic car owner is threatening to sue a council, because speed humps in his street are too high for his low-slung car.

I think it was for this reason Ford never made an 'Si' version of the KA.

When I got my first BX, I wanted to set up the Citroen Owners Club of Kent, before I realised that the acronym wouldn't work. Does anyone else have any inappropriate, misleading or palin silly french car-related acronyms?

I had forgotten what it was like

A bit like the M40 at about 2.30 in the morning south bound eh! It's so rare these days to find even a smidgen of quite or decent road. I bet there was some dirty old speed camera about though. It was probably taking a wiss when you drove past.

Last post

Had some business up on the Welsh coast yesterday, drove up on nearly EMPTY ROADS I actually could enjoy my car! driving at the speeds I wanted to rather than being dictated by thousands of other road users, I remembered why I built the thing now I think I have been commuting too long.

I once suffered at the hands of a road rager. It would seem that I 'stole' his parking space, though I genuinely didn't realise he was waiting for it, and in any event - I just drove into it at normal speed. He came over effing and jeffing at me and I apologised, explained I didn't realise he was waiting and pointed out that, in any event, I was...

OK so myself and wife were in a local nearby town today as i had the day off. On the way home i came to a low railway bridge thing with a narrow lane and Big white arrow has priority over the small red arrow jobbies.
As we approached (me driving) there was traffic coming through but as it was my right of way i just slowed on final approach...

No, I think you're being too cynical- it could be a set of hoses, brake components, and tyres.......................not.

zx 16v vs vr6

by VisaGTi16v » 17 Jan 2005, 20:34

First post

Probably not much in it. The vr6 has a bit more power but is heavier and automatic. It will be quicker higher up I expect where bhp counts more. Theres also the fact that the mk3 is commonly accepted as being the worst Golf and the zx will be far more fun to drive and handle better. However the golfs probably higher quality and specification etc...

Last post

Out of interest will a 16v zx keep up with a 1996 VW golf VR6 automatic, only a friend of mine is thinking of getting one. So if anyone has driven/owned one of these before you may be able to comment on this.
Thanks Louis
