It's a great colour, Elise or Exige.

My (ex) Elise in a similar colour scheme.

Brexit was just another example of voting for 'you can have everything for free' without bothering to look for the obvious flaws in the argument.

As an electorate, we continually elect people who say that they can improve services and cut taxes by finding 'efficiency savings'. Then it doesn't happen and we look for the next best thing. There is no electoral imperative for politicians to tell the truth.

I can relate.

Saw a 9-5 estate near here a couple of weeks ago. Rare sight now.

Do you still have it? I ran one for a couple of years, fun car but a bit cramped for me!

2CV Turbo = Fire Just found this article in a old issue of CAR magazine from 1988. I thought a few of you might like to read it. And suprisingly B772 JPC is still taxed! I'm sure DW knows more about it.

Agreed, it's all good fun.

I really want to do a turbo Citroen Dyane and have done since reading this article in 1988. It's so much easier now with FI and turbo friendly ECUs than it was back then. Ditching the cardboard heater tubes is a must!

Yes, ambitions for cake but I mean real ambitions, not dreams.

I don't think that they have any intention of going beyond the scope of the reset. The reset is their pitch to pro-EU voters. Making brexit slightly less bad is the limit of their ambition.

Seems like a turbo would be a better way to power up the 2000. EFI systems cater for turbo engines, so not the detonation lottery this kind of project used to be.

This is nonsense. The 'reset' was never anything substantial that would provide significant benefits, so getting it 'back into gear' is meaningless.

If it's no trouble, it's boring and has to go. Mrs Eoin is not on board with this policy.

Meanwhile in the UK we will be asked to pay more for renewable electricity because of the link with the price of gas.

But we were told that being pro-brexit and anti-immigration are policies that are necessary for people to vote Labour and are the only way to beat reform.

The definition of right and left as a simple linear diffentiation is problematic. Even if you take the Political Compass view of economic and social conservatism / liberalism, it's not perfect. I'm not sure voters really know where they stand left - right.

We have a double wall oven, plus a normal stove with 2 large ovens. The stove ovens are rarely used, just for big gatherings.

Wes says we must give the country hope while Labour continues to suck all hope out of the country.

I just don't get the logic.
1. They got 34% of the vote in the GE, FPTP got them a big majority.
2. Labour was/is not in step with the majority. 34% isn't the majority.
3. Being decent on immigration, less authoritarian & pro-EU isn't veering to the left.

No matter how much the UK grown it'd always be better but for Brexit.
Unless suggesting resurrecting the highest of barriers to trade, prosperity & growth against the EU27 without removing either of these against any other is better for greater trade, prosperity & growth? Facts not fictions

What does the TR6 use for carbs? You can get Weber pattern throttle bodies for FI, so if you can get a Weber compatible manifold, you're in business.

It's a great option. I did an EFI job using Megasquirt on a Baywindow camper. It worked really well, started every time and super smooth. It was just so much more useable than on carbs.

We're seeing the disconnect between being a decent bloke and having the capacity to govern. Shame, he could have gone for it but has chosen to go out with a whimper.

The pretend fence sitting isn't kidding anyone now. Maybe he just wants to make it through his term as a pride thing. Or maybe he dreams of an economic boom before 2028 that will sweep him to victory? Who knows.

If reform win, it'll be the death of them.
