black and yellow was probably what his face looked like after a boxing match

Hi Derek...hope you're feeling much better now? Thanks for letting us know about this event and if you would like to post up some more information then we can see what we can do to promote it further. Thanks, Trevor

I have a funny feeling it is to do with Boxing but I don't know why

Well, you learn something new each day!....thanks Gareth for posting these pearls of wisdom up, and it seems to make it more interesting to have an inspired guess rather than just firing it through Google.

Hi Jeff...welcome to the Forum Good to hear you have returned to the marque. Would love to see some pics of the new beastie...fine machine! Cheers Trevor

Ghetto

I'm going to throw a guess in about the racing stripes....probably wrong but here goes! In the early days of motor racing when paint was thick...this would equate to an excess of weight and I believe it may have been am Italian team who stripped off the paint to lower the overall weight and took it back to the aluminium. Maybe the stripes were then put on to the body to aid identification? I'll get my coat...taxi for one!

Bright ?

Ouistraham near Caen....lovely place...and stacks of war museums. Well worth a long weekend visit to trawl through the war museums and they have some great restaurants there as well

Audi's in some fantastic locations...however, the last one looks like Barfleur rather than Honfleur?

Spammer has now been banned, chastised and all content deleted from PM....also adjusted settings on the forum so this shouldn't happen in the future. Full marks to her for ingenuity though....didn't see that way as a route for spamming the forum. Cheers, Trevor

Sorry, forgot to mention....well done Paul for a swift intervention on the spammer. I have a confession Adbro ....i parted company with the A4 some time ago and no longer own an Audi (as yet) but am seriously considering an A4 Cabriolet TDi for the summer....just have to shift all of my other toys first

Sorry about the spam intrusion. Very cleverly, it seems that she(?) bypassed the system and rather than posting anything on the forum, instead managed to bulk mail all the members. Will play with the settings in the system to not allow this sort of intrusion again Cheers, Trevor

Hi Craig...welcome to the Club I would agree with the guys....either tyre pressures or wheel alignment Let us know how you get on with sorting it Trevor

Hi Mark....welcome back to the Club

Sorry about the pop-up....it should have been showing to Guests only. This has now been rectified so it should no longer keep popping up

Nearly 50% of all cars that fail an MOT do so because of small faults that could be avoided by simple, at-home car maintenance. These problems are easy to correct, and fixing them before taking the car in for its MOT could help you pass first time and avoid garage costs. To help, Ring, the automotive specialist in bulbs, wipers, battery care and tyre care, has some advice on the simple things that can be done to avoid an MOT fail. Lights and signalling – 17.8% failure rate 4.5m cars fail because of lamps, reflectors and electrics every year. Doing a quick bulb check before you take the vehicle to the garage could avoid an MOT fail. Make sure you check all the exterior bulbs – this includes the side light, indicator, tail light and number plate lights. The registration plate lamp being out accounts for 4.5% of MOT fails. When it comes to headlamps, there are plenty of options out there, including upgrades to help bulbs last longer or put more light on road for safer driving. We recommend you always replace bulbs in pairs, to ensure the light output is equal from both headlights. Ring stocks a range of bulbs, including long life versions, and for headlamps, try the new Xenon150 bulbs (nationwide – SSP £39.99), which put up to 150% more light on road without compromising on life. Tyre condition – 7.5% failure rate Well maintained tyres are essential to ensure safe driving – and neglecting them could mean a failed MOT. The legal requirement for tyre tread on passenger vehicles up to eight seats is 1.6mm, but studies show that when the tread drops below 3mm, stopping distance begins to be significantly affected. Checking tyre tread is easy and requires a simple depth gauge. However, to ensure your tyres are both safe and helping cut down fuel consumption, drivers need to check the pressure as well. For a digital gauge that gives accurate readings on a large backlit screen, records the correct pressure and has an integrated LED light, Ring suggests the RTG7 Programmable Digital Tyre Pressure & Tread Depth Gauge. This is easy to store in the car and easy to use, wherever you are. Available nationwide, SSP £24.99. While there is no legal requirement for tyre pressure, under- or over-inflated tyres will reduce the traction between the tyre and the road, making driving less safe and less fuel efficient. For easy pressure top ups, try the Ring RAC635 Digital Tyre Inflator, with preset for accurate inflation. This industry-recognised inflator can inflate a 13” tyre from flat to 35PSI in under 3 minutes – making tops up quick and simple. Driver’s view of the road – 6.8% failure rate Cracks in the windscreen and worn wipers are a big reason for vehicles to fail. As wiper deteriorate gradually, drivers often don’t realise they are no longer clearing the windscreen effectively. Choosing and fitting the right blade can seem tricky, but Ring’s new range of Ultravision Wiper Blades (SSP £9.99 to £13.99) make blade selection easy. The unique, patent-pending clip fits 95% of the car parc, meaning that drivers just need to know the blade length for their vehicle to select the correct blade. The clip adapts to fit the seven most common wiper arms. Henry Bisson, Marketing Manager at Ring, says “Motorists could be making savings by carrying out basic checks and maintenance at home, but often they don’t realise that these minor faults could cause an MOT fail. What’s more, having well-maintained tyre, blade and lighting are driving safety essentials, so making sure they are regularly checked and replaced when necessary is critical.” For more details on Ring’s range of bulbs, wiper blades and tyre care, visit www.ringautomotive.com

I can highly recommend Asda Breakdown cover (through Green Flag I believe) and only called them out a couple of times but absolutely superb service and not too expensive either. Also have cover my MX5 (Mk1) on it and the Motorbike as well....all have European travel cover as well...all for less than £200 a year

now your talking ! my favourite road trip of all. Done that trip on a B*W motorbike and a B*W Z3....took the latter back to it's homeland just as it rolled over to 100k miles. Cannot over-emphasise how beautiful the roads and scenery are in that region....and then as you roll into Austria...well, that will completely blow you away! Can highly recommend the southern part of Germany (as above) but cannot really comment on the northern region as not been there...yet !
