  1. There is an old saying I think it was Stalin,“Quantity has a quality all its own.”, and the Russians will just keep throwing people at this. Their mind set and the Chinese is not like the West, they see this as all for the greater good and are not concerned by losses or time.
  2. The Russian progress is worrying, if they win in Ukraine they will easily bulldoze through the Baltics. People in this country need to wake up to the very real threat.
  3. @C8RKH what annoys me is that as you say pigeons are a health hazard, and I don't for one minute think she is that naive. It's just bloody arrogant as she want to feed the "poor little birds and foxes" (say that whilst playing a violin). I'm off to cook bacon.. @Chillidoggy The trouble is my neighbour actively feeds them all, she even complained how much it was costing her to feed the fox!! (how about don't?)
  4. I spoke to Enviromental Health and they said the one thing they can act on is Rats.
  5. its tempting, she must know what a pain they are.
  6. trouble is we only have a small garden so I cant shoot the things. you can shoot feral pigeons with the appropriate license
  7. My neighbour has taken to feeding the pigeons, along with the foxes, squirrels etc... we live in a semi detached in a town. to say I,m hacked off is an understatement
  8. I went there years ago, the bass player from Iron Maiden was there with his Lambo
  9. @Sparky My late father always said they cure you of one thing so you can die of something else.
  10. Looking for a set of 15" wheels for an early Stevens turbo. anyone got a set?
  11. I did the conversion and kept the original hubs as I fitted a later type. But I agree about the original brakes, hence why I did the upgrade as it never stopped well. Not sure to be honest mine is a a very early one, and prices are rising. I know in collector circle s originality is key.
  12. My car is currently undergoing work. The engine and gearbox have been rebuilt and the rest is underway. Its a very early stevens carb turbo (pre eagle chassis). I currently run GT3 wheels with 4 pot Hispec calipers on front. The people doing the work are recommending going back to standard 15" alloys and original brakes. They are suggesting this due to originality of car etc... what are peoples thoughts?
  13. Thoughts to those who have lost their lives RIP, by accounts there were cars and also a construction crew on the bridge.
  14. @Brian Harvey Yes I have seen that, my case is different its a fitted wheeled case, that is slopped to fit in the boot. I think they are pretty rare.
  15. Has anyone else got the fitted suitcase for their Esprit?
  16. @Gjk I drilled holes as in the link @Bibs has sent. I used quite a few bolts, but it was years ago.
  17. Mine is the sport 300 lip, no problems with speed bumps as it’s rubber. That’s the reason I fitted a rubber lip.
  18. @drdoom mine is a UK version with Renault box, but i believe it is same wheels. Currently have GT3 wheels but looking to taking back to original setup.
  19. I was at SJ on Tuesday as they are recommissioning my car. I'm also in Essex, would have taken the part down for you.
  20. I spoke to my wealth manager the other day. Inflation is predicted to keep coming down and interest rates are expected to level out at around 3% which would be more normal, thane what we have had, also said a Labour Government will make little difference.
  21. Am I correct that the early stevens cars had 15" front and rear? and that the rear are staggered? Thanks
  22. @kimbers if you want to get anything done you need a dictatorship, but you have to shoot the dictator after you get what you want.
  23. Because Labour Policy will be little different, Financial markets guide the economy, the elected government just ride the highs and lows. I'm also wondering if perhaps the Conservatives don't want to win, the next 5 years are going to be crap. perhaps they are happy to blame that on Labour?
