Haha, you're not, it is nicknamed the paedo van.
For sure, there is something about curves that is so pleasing to the eye.
I've not had a single vehicle which didn't have soul, they've all had their own personalities, they are living breathing animals, two of the same cars will not be the same just like two of the same species animals are not the same. Which is why I don't like re-shelling a car, I've done it once with a classic mini and it never felt like the car I'd known and loved, it was different.

BT Grey paint, in rattle cans. Had to special order it, but should be ready by Friday. £11.40 a tin, but it means I can start to make my van look less ruined.
My little van has a soul, hell I even have a name for her. Vanessa, slender upfront but got a big ol' bootie. <3
Just taking off the roof rack has made her a different animal, she looks sleeker.
Although like all women, she can get moody, every time I talk about replacing her she kicks up a fuss, admittedly a service and a bit of injector cleaner will fix that, but still, she doesn't like me looking at other women.
No, but like everyone else in the world you will say coilovers like it is something special, go through this thread and you'll see plenty of people who do it. Statements like "are you going to put coilovers on your car?" It has come to the point where I have seen shops which sell "rear coilover kits" for the Vauxhall Astra, in case you haven't seen it the spring and damper are mounted separately, the "coilover kit" was a set of uprated springs and dampers to be mounted as the factory intended.
Your car had coil overs from the factory you blithering idiot. What do you think coil over means? The coil (spring) is over (or around if you'd prefer) the damper.
I am all for well modded vehicles, I am currently getting the parts ready to build a Trophy Truck out of a 2WD Ford Ranger, but throwing on a cheap spring and damper set then forcing the suspension to act as though it is bottomed out all of the time is not a well modded vehicle. It is a ruined vehicle.
Every time I see this thread all I can think about is my first year at uni and a lad who passed out on the downstairs crapper. It was a heavy drinking night so he had a bucket on his lap while brown rain came out of the other end.
At some point in the night he fell off the seat and ended up coating the toilet in a mix of shit and vomit.
On my last year we bumped into the first years who were given that house (the uni acquired an old council estate which they converted into student housing) and the toilet still smelt of shit so no one used it.
Was ****ing fantastic, mostly because I was living 2 houses down that year so didn't have to live with the smell.

I have to be honest, it took me a while to get that. xD
Damn, wish I took some photos in December, I'd have to top trumped. Snow was up to the windows, but I don't seem to have any photos after November.
Hey look what I found, a photo of my cars back in November.
If you can't get the subtle hint in this post, it is how about everyone stops fighting on the Internet over the most inane things and posts more pictures/videos of their cars.

Indeed, they tried it in Scotland, but test audiences found it was over the top and no meteor impact would do that much damage.
Bugger, you can't edit your marker.
For reference "My Pad" is my pad. xD

If it had new cylinders and shoes then they are drums.
A noise can be caused by a host of things, temperature can be one of those things. But pop open the drums and have a poke around, normally the fault will slap you in the face.

That is the one. Looks like it'll be unlikely for me to watch it again given the lack of DVD :/
The great thing about basing it in Sheffield is you wouldn't need to bring in any props to make it look like a post apocalyptic wasteland.

I favour the carbon ones because they are hard to see. Stops it ruining the original lines then.
Indeed, 10p in the pound was bad enough when I was rocking minimum wage (and every hour going), but then having to pay 20p in the pound, it made a huge difference when you're not exactly hella flush.

Also, on the same subject, I recall watching something some years ago started with a bunch of people on a train which derails in a tunnel and the case a guy was carrying got dropped releasing some sort of agent which froze them all, when they emerged it was some post apocalypse waste land and had to start searching for food shelter, I remember one scene where a pregnant woman stabs herself in the gut to kill the child and some little kid who they stumbled upon touched her and brought the now dead unborn back to life.
I don't remember much as I was only a young'en but from what I do recall it was quite good.

You really want to extend your front mud guard. It is the first thing I'd do to any bike to keep the road surface away from the engine/exhaust/rad.
That child is going to be so ****ed up by the time she is a teen. Plus the women in the salon should be sacked, the girl said don't wax my eye brows, that means DON'T ****ING WAX THEM. The ****...
And what the **** is with the mother? She looks like Donald Duck.

If you laughed at that too, I'll meet you in hell, which is where we're going.

I bet you say that to all the boys
I will normally talk about it more, because chances are it'll make other people more disgusted.

A lot of what I am after is quite easy to get and one of the vehicles from 2-9 (excluding 6) will be my third vehicle. It'll most likely be one of the drop tops.
Exactly what I was thinking.

It is a great idea to have a car like that as your first. You're less likely to get complacent knowing it'll rip your head off if you **** up, so your driving will be better.
