is it because a fuller tank causes the CoG to move lower down and therefore improve cornering?

I left out the remove, and refit filler cap, I thought they might have already sussed that bit !


If it's that easy I'll be more than happy to pay you a fiver to fill it up each time. If you can't then you pay me a tenner.

The guy who designed the additional tank must be laughing his socks off.

Oh dear...Nigel, you should have mentioned you were after a head and changer.

I am trying to get shot of the one I just uninstalled from the 635, a Kenwood KRC391 face off head unit and 6 disc.  Its just 3 yrs old and worked perfectly in my 6 and my old Supra's too.

Enviromental and Highways are arguing as to who is responsible for the riddance of said wasps...

Just cos the nest is huge and right next to a main road...and to think all the chalet owners/renters pay in excess of £2000 a yr council tax...

And we STILL haven't had the massive thunderstorms and heavy rain that we have been threatened with...

I think the weather people need to go back to school...they never get it right

What a wonderful sight bureaucracy is when exercised by professionals. The cogs turning slowy and surely until......it's too late the wasps have flown the nest.

Workpersons then turn up and at great expense solve a problem that no longer exists.

Too true..

And they wonder why so many people protest about the extortionate charges levied..

But they won't be moved..they say they are 'actively working on solving the problem'....yep..OK..we believe you....

And what is wrong with using a lighted match, or, a torch, or just feel your way around the gearlever and anyway, you should know which gate is which..with eyes closed..which makes the presence of an illuminated gear lever a bit daft
