stupid

I know of a breaker who has 2 drivers side Recaro CSE's, one in navy leather the other in navy cloth. I could buy both but only afford to get one re-trimmed in cream leather, would it be silly to just put one in the car for now and hope to come across a passenger side at a later date?

Ive been recording 'Chop Shop' on the DMAX channel, where they take a wrecked/crappy car and make something out of it. Whilst the designs are a little (alot) tastless in general, the guys clearly have skills with metal work (no fibre-glass rubbish) and with some decent designs I reckon they...

Being new here, I have been reading the other W211 ATF threads with great interest, particularly those talking about the homemade dipstick. Which leads me to my really stupid question.:o Whereabouts is the ATF dipstick tube located? I have a 2007 E320 CDI, that has a nice red topped engine...

When putting on my spare tyre on my eclass 2001 estate 320 cdi I stupidly didnt use the shorter bolts that come with the spare wheel _ i used the longer bolts that come with the alloys. Result has been I've tightened the bolts further than i should have done. result is the bolts are quite...

To spend over £1500 for wheels (lets forget the tyres) to put on a car worth £7k (at best)? I am wrestling with my conscience over this....:rolleyes:

Had a silly bovine in a newish corsa decide to cut across the hatchings where the M18 joins the M1 north on my way in today... then try and move into the side of my car when I was in lane 2. *EXPLETIVES* I had to brake/move over and thankfully the person in lane 3 was far enough back to let me...

....Prospective purchase of large V8 vehicle. :D I saw this the other day on the Pistonheads "Barge Bargains" thread, and mulled it over for a few days. Whilst down at my mum's in Somerset at the weekend, I gave the matter more detailed thought. Having rung the chap, by coincidence he was less...

Hi Guys, Well the title said it really, sat in my car and while it was warming up I remembered that I haven't cleared the snow on my windshield so I tried my luck with the wipers and wellllllll the driver's side snapped off! Blade is okay but the actual arm is broken:( my own stupid fault so...

Over the past few years I have put some time and effort in to answering questions very few people were asking...like Can you make a car powered by two diesel digger engines exceed 350mph? Can you encourage the best luxury car in the real world to return over 50 MPG? I can now say yes to...
