Originally from Rackheath near Norwich, could give you the name of the road but that's about it. Second owner was who you bought it off.
Can I just add..that looks so much better already.

Ski Pole gear lever or is this just getting really stupid! Absolutely not. But gotta ask, what's with the ski theme? My current rear tyres are snow tyres, the only cheap 145 70 13 I could find were snow tyres. It sort of spiralled outa control. Sky pole handle gear lever, screw on so easily reversible. Oh yes our two have to be snuggled under a blanket. We got fed up with early morning howls to put their blankets back over them so we bought Cosy Caves. Think of a dog sized sheepskin lined pitta breads and you get the idea. Sad but true. Anything for a good nights sleep. They're known as velcro dogs as they don't want to leave your side, especially males. Wouldn't be without them though. Sam looks a cracker. Enjoy him I wouldn't have any other dog. I need one of those cosy caves, maybe with ensuite facilities 2.50am I was up letting him out!

Love the fact your in Ontario, same province as my Dad. Then I look at how big Ontario is 23hrs drive to get to the most northern point with roads (Red Lake?) to Sarnia. He's out Barrie way but that's 5hrs away, can't comprehend that sort of size province.
Sorry got distracted, nice cars!

4th delivery, still my large logos to arrive! This one does confuse me slightly as sure it was meant to be one set of skis. Three sets of skis plus six ski poles! Edited to add. Ski Pole gear lever or is this just getting really stupid!

Never mind the stickers I like your dog. I've got a couple Whippets myself. I inherited Sam a few years back when my father in law passed away. At first I thought he was incredibly stupid but now realise he is a dog genius. Gotta ask do your Whippets have to be covered by a blanket? This is how Sam spends his working day. He was a rescue dog so has separation issues and comes to work with me. Great dogs if you don't like walks he just buggers off home when he gets bored of chasing the ball down the park. Third delivery of the day!

Spotted a Kangoo whilst filling up with petrol, it looked surprising good with an A Bar up front matching side steps and rear bumper. All they basically were lengths of alloy tube. Made it look a lot lower than it actually was.

Just nipped across the other side of city and relieved my wallet of £2.00. Didn't realise how heavy ski's were! My other ebay tat purchase, may not come to anything. I have been constantly outbid on ski helmets. Why ski helmets? The stereo in Gilbert is poor to say the least, so new speakers up front and more up the back. I don't want to cut holes on the parcel shelf. I have another pair of skis coming my way that I was going to cut up and lay on parcel shelf, fix ski helmets to skis making ski helmet speaker pods. Getting ski helmets for a quid is proving difficult.

Having fitted an abd into both a saloon and then a breadvan I can offer some advice. You will want a 1.3l ecu, throttle body, inlet manifold and injector. It will run on the 1.0 ecu but not very well. Cheers for the info, I have the abd inlet manifold, throttle body and injector still attached to the engine. I read somewhere you needed to swap back to the 1.0 throttle body as the throttle cable on the golf was on the opposite side. Just been into garage and checked both engines and cable attachment is on same side, so all I need is a 1.3 engine control unit.

What's that rack for? Ski's? They are!! Our drunken vision was In the style of this Using the US Ski Team logo's instead of the roundels with the number 53. After a few to many pints of a local breweries finest we thought this would look great. We can only try now as its amazing what you can buy from ebay, cafepress, amazon and redbubble.

Spacers and longer wheel bolts arrived earlier in the week so should be able work out what I need to get the compos to clear the calliper. I may have also mention elsewhere on the forum that I had a drunken tat purchase spree. First delivery into the office today, there is two of them. Not my dog, the rack! Other bits and bobs are following along.

After some late night slightly drunken ebay purchases and a few more bids outstanding. I had to look for some inspiration for my newly acquired tat collection.
Which sort of led me to these, apart from Subaru where there any other well known Ski Team Cars?

I have the same issue with my daughter who leaves school this year. Suggested dressing my car up Disney style. Lei's, grass skirts and inflatable Palm trees are cheap! She's not impressed by the idea, she wants a Limo.

To give you an idea, my Wifes car had 2 advisories this MOT - Front brake pads thin & front tyres getting low. Within 7 days of the pass, I purchased F & R pads and fitted them and had 2 new front tyres fitted [/p] Had similar advisory for the brake pads on my daily front pads wearing thin, same advisory next two mots. They didn't need replacing, 33,000 miles between the 3 Mots proved the MOT tester was over cautious. I replaced them 36,000 miles after first being advised they were wearing thin.

Great logic...did much the same thing filling my MG Midget with diesel. It's the doh, moment when you look at nozzle and it's the wrong colour.
Mine was a simple fix roll it off the forecourt, purchased six petrol cans, disconnect fuel line from carb, switch on the ignition and let the electric fuel pump do its work. Roll back on forecourt and refill with petrol.
