Re: My new toy :-)

Thanks guys for your comments . Yes , calibras are very thin on the ground these days unfortunately :-( . I've only drove it a few miles but I've noticed it gets loads of attention already lol . This car has to be one of the cleanest I've seen for years & tbh that's what swayed me onto buying it...

Re: A warning to all South Coast members

I think the last thing I would think of is ramming my cock up the anus of a thief if he tried to steal my car[/quote]

I'd certainly have a good go at ramming my size 11 steel toe caps up there though ! :-)

Re: New TD daily

I used to run two of these as mini cabs in the mid 90's a blue hatchback & a white saloon . The hatch clocked up 265,000 miles without a spanner near the engine ( just usual stuff like clutch/ alternator etc ) before it got written off & my saloon clocked 276,000 miles before I traded it in ...

Re: inner wing washer bottle removal...

If I remember correctly you need to remove a couple of bits of plastic trim that bolts onto bottom of the bumper / inner wing plastic , then take off the metal bar that the twin horns are bolted onto . I'm sure you can get to the bolts from here on in & remember the neck of the bottle screws off...

Re: Anyone able to help?

Jeezo mate , That's shocking service from the RAC ! You should get on to the papers with this story straight away , especially due to the fact that they left your daughter ( a vulnerable female on her own ) stranded . Hope you manage to get the bike back & everything gets resolved .
