I'm just wondering people's thoughts... I'm contemplating a new thread. Now just humour me for a minute and hear me out. I'd love to have your thoughts on this idea as I think it would really help us all in complying with the OP's request. New...

I forgot to ignore today, so doing it now.

GO FOR IT!!! :cool: I know that car... from 100 years ago 🤣 But there aren't many that I haven't seen - there was 36? in NZ when I had mine, I think. (It used ot have the plate "DECAF" I'm wracking by brain to think of the last owner though -...

Should we set up some kind of roster, taking advantage of international membership, to ensure we manage the ignoring 24/7??? @GrumpyGel already took one for the NZ team; while you lot were swanning around in clapped out old Land Rovers, instead...

Cheers … I’m waiting for the coil packs and plugs to come. Hopefully fit on Friday and see what issues it’s showing. I drove home with the windows down when I called the AA and put them ip and locked the car while waiting for him. It was after...
