You guys are all about the $$$ teams... much more interesting looking at the mid table or the battle for relegation.

Arresting them is ridiculous, but I guess it's better than the National Guard shooting them.

I fitted a sidedraught Webber 45DCOE to mine, fabbed an airbox where the original center instruments were and filled a 1275GT instrument pod instead. Not sure the Webber was any better than the twin SU's but it looked way cooler!

Cramped to work on but... you could change the clutch without removing the engine, and if you did need to remove it you could do that easily with 2 people and a rudimentary winch. I did quite significant mods on mine with nothing more than a set of ramps and all the mods including block changes...

Bought a non-working OM-4 on ebay for $9 (plus shipping). It had the same jammed wind on problem as an earlier OM-2SP I had. Relatively easy fix after taking off the bottom cover. Meter and shutter now work fine. Do I keep it as a back up or flog it again on ebay? (Perhaps having an OM-1, OM-2SP...

You probably have checked that the window lock switch isn't depressed, that will prevent the passenger window from operating.

We're off to Japan on a month or so, this thread has been very useful, thanks.

My most fun cars in order of 'funnest' would be: 1) MX-5 2) Modded Mini 1000 3) A tie between the MR-2 (original) and Alfasud Ti Mind you the 2 door Jeep Cherokee off road was pretty fun as well.

I suspect you are incorrect in your assumption, the majority of our politicians perhaps, but I doubt the populous.

In my world injuring kids and having hospitals have to sever limbs without anesthetic amounts to torture. Since Israel has systematically killed reporters and denied access to Gaza then we cant say what really is happening. As for cheap propaganda, what about the made up lies about beheaded...

It was pretty obvious that Iran would respond in some way to the dumb move by Israel's attack on the Iranian embassy. Netanyahu is a danger to the world, more so IMHO that the nut jobs ruling Iran. He has lit a fuse that will be tough to extinguish without loss of many more lives. My suspicion...

Well, each to their own. Visually to my eyes the stock height looks more suited to a SUV. Lowered: Stock:

Both models I feel look far better lowered an inch or two, the wheel to wheel arch gap is far too large stock. Pretty easy to change out the OEM springs to slightly stiffer and shorter ones.

Total nut jobs all of them, supported I see by one of my favorites Ted Cruz.

Quite an amusing statement given the Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate: Lord Cameron said he had "made clear... that Iran must not draw the Middle East into a wider conflict".
