well well bit nerve racking.. loads of people wound me up over it... came to the point and I was told to red some of the cards.. talk about stretching my agonising pain... anyway.. came to the speech!... and I read through it nicely... everyone clapped and complimented me on how good it was! was easy! broke the ice by insulting the father.. everyone laughed! At least its all done now! B)

i am possibly swapping my TT for a V8 for that refinement... will keep that for 1 year and prolly get something else. Soarers hardly depreciate.. probably few hundred pounds a year... but keeping one tip top will still fetch fine money.

in the rain i wouldnt wanna hammer a soarer into the corners But I tell you what.. owning a manual TT with bigger rear wheels and my suspension is well rock hard with sports TEMS my soarer handles like its on rails! I dont know where people get the idea that a soarer is dangerous!... if people are prepared to drive like an idiot in the rain then they will all end up in the hedge.. that includes a cosworth.... its not the car that out you in the hedge... its the driver controlling it. With the soarer you can set it to track day mode and the suspension is even firmer giving that excellence in handling. Slap traction control and your laughing. I have played with a local cossie here and have no problems keeping up. Soarer is less tempting because there is no call for a soarer for nickable parts.. no common bugger knows what they are or what they are nicking. Also the badge says it all... if Lexus made a really crappy range that last 5 years i would be embarressed to claim i own the same brand. I bought into Lexus/Toyota for their excllence and the exclusive Lexus brand.. in fact i loved it so much why is this club exsists? I aint saying the cossie is a bag of crap... I bet its really good fun to drive... but i cannot see it being a car you would keep for a number of years and use it as as everyday car. Now the LS is a different class motor... refined luxury.. lexus flagship back in the early 90's, renouned for its reliability... expensive to run.. but you should have researched that before buying a car... I wouldnt marry a woman only to find she is a biatch! I would wanna find out what that persons like... So.. if you can afford the fuel costs and parts for such a fine motor then your cooking with gas!... and if i remember rightly Bison claimed in his Ebay advert as the best drive he has had. I really miss my old motor for its refinement.. very smooth.. I am now driving a mental motor with rock hard suspension and lower profile tyres which give a bumpy ride. It wants to boost all the time and being a manual with no traction control its a very lively motor. Good fun but at times I wish the turbos had the option to turn them on and off inside the car. So to finish it off... lets not start claiming that a seirra cosworth is in the same class or it is a better car.. coz it aint.. its just a highly tuned sierra (yes nice and fast) and carries the same internal componants similar to a ford fiesta!

smiffie runs a soarer club TIF... he knows nearly anything you need about these fine motors. I have seen these cars in person as I had a new cambelt fitted to my TT last thursday by smiffie's guys at the soarer sanctuary... the V8 is much smoother.. TT is mental (especially my manual)

see you in the garage with another engine rebuild... cozzies are notourious for it ... Since when has a cosworth been cheap to run.. you'll notice it in a few months... I know I run a TT and is costly... but it will play with that cossie no problems! But i pay through the nose for the privilage the governments fault i dont understand why you slap the LS for being quiet.. thats what was made for.. cosworth different league.. period!.. try driving 600 miles in a noisey car

thats made me feel 100 times better... not :D :D if I can just them to laugh I will be ok!

hmm I am best man tommorow.. and I have to do a speech i have been revising and writing speeches all day... I tell you what.. i have an **** tighter than a snare drum... so nerve racking! I will have to use charector assasination on the groom to make myself feel better LOL :P

I drove Smiffies Loaded V8 around London today... very nice.. talk about loaded right up... it had everything! Liked feature was the electronic indicator stalk... weird getting used to that! Not sure if all v8 having the dimming rear view mirror.. nice touch!

very nice mate Just to let you guys know that I am actually in the process of creating full colour glossy adverts... a tad bigger than business cards. I will supply packs of 20 but not sure on postage at the mo.. would be a considerable cost I have to account for. But everyones free to create their own :)

hey rich.. I saw a few for sale today at a place where i had my car fixed... take a pic http://www.smiffies-soarer-sanctuary.com/ i have just come back from having my car repaired there and I looked around these cars today... worth looking at!

good suggestion.. hmmm.. I will add this to my development list. I agree the resubs section needs looking at.. however... I know whos due and if a payment is made to resub I am aware that it is a resub. But yes your right and I shall be enhancing this shortly. :)

wow.. all i can tell you is that loads of calendars have been sold!

it was imported from Japan i know longer have the car but you need to get whole of the wiring diagram for it... probably something you already knew.
