It's here!

Well,

You asked for it, and here it is.

Use it wisely, and remember, it is still a tech-related area.

Don't let that power go to your head!....Just to make this tech, is the coolant overflow tank cap a left or right handed thread?

LOL do you imagine us all to speak like the Queen, whilst wearing bowler hats and sipping tea? We have so many different accents just amongst this merry gang- Britain is quite diverse like that. I just love to hear how we are percieved by other Country's

Phil, I think that is a left handed thread

Welcome our Dutch friend, are you making it over to any shows in te UK this year? PS Its raing over here too!

Hey, Z-Force! They don't have the accent - WE do. If my information is correct, the language was invented on the isles, and we are simply borrowing it for a time. As long as we don't butcher it too badly, they're letting us use it without charge. Although I believe the "Valley" is running up quite a tab...

Now when do you suppose the Aussies will want a Regional Board for the continent down under? There are a bunch of right-drivers there and in New Zealand as well. Speaking of which, is that coolant overflow cap "under-handed" down under?

And for those dedicated to this board,I'll let my ignorance out. Does the "[SHIFT] 4" keystroke display a dollar sign or a pounds symbol? (Or, Euros? - Yick!)

Shift-4 shows a dollar sign
Shift-3 shows a pound sign, which I believe is a # (hash) sign in the US

To ZZ42Fast,

We might go to England later this year,can you suggest a good (USA) car show?
For anyone that is in Holland right now,on May 11 there is an American Day at the TT-Race track at Assen.
Cars,trucks and bikes,if the weather is fine,it will be a great day!
And remember,every last sunday of the month,at the Mc Donalds in Groningen,a large American car show,free of charge!
USA car owners even get a free consumption as well!

Hey Vader, what's wrong with the Euro ?

Dutch, it depends what you are looking for. The SummerNationals is a great family event, which is why we are not going to attend for the first time in 7 years as we upset too many people by having one too many and having a good time.

The Classic American Nationals is only 2 weeks away so I guess that's no good. If you want to take your car down a drag strip try the Mopar Euronationals, although it it mainly the Mopars anything American is allowed down. People make the weekend of it and camp there too.

I would probably recommend the Americana festival overall , though I have never been, I hear it is as good as the SummerNationals but with far more bands and more people making a go of it (fancy dress etc..)

Personally being allowed to one major show this year (where we will camp) we have chosen the Street Rod Nationals which is in August (I think).. This looks wild with one tent for familys and the other for the boozers. Events include wet t-shirt competitions and drinking games on stage. There is also a burn out competition and a massive cruise (600-700 cars) It is over 3 days and should be wild!

I will try and get some more details together.

Cheers,
Felix

:lala: Wahoo, we got our own backyard.

And my (starter for 10) technical question is....

I may have to change one of my main headlamps on the 85 transam (caused by water getting into the lens & discolouring the chrome inside, but have found a cure to stop the water now) Are there any suitable euro / jap cars that are good donors for this i.e. mazda etc
