Aquill, You said you were into castles so here is a link to the pics of my weekend away, there are some in there with castles.50 yards from the cottage we stayed at was an 11th Century church but I couldnt get any pics beside it as there was a big wall infront of it.It was a good weekend,no shops in the village, 1 pub and a duckpond.My son made the mistake of feeding them bread and weetabix on the first night and each morning after that we were woken at about 5am by ducks tapping on the door and quacking for their breakfast.

2 questions Buck - How do you like your new exhaust, and WTH is that 3-wheeled thing in your pic's? It looks like a huge sidecar without the motorcycle attached!!

The 3 wheel car is a (James?) Bond Bug I just managed to photograph before it went passed.Here is a wacky website dedicated to uglycars that have been sold in the UK.Its the 1st one on the following link but it only gets a 2 paperbag rating out of a possible 5 for ugliness though...ORIGINAL: RudyF6

The new exhaust is great.Over 300 miles on a tank when cruising but only 17 (UK) mpg around town due to constantly blipping the throttle to hera the deep roar.Feels slightly more torquey too.

real nice buck. those quads are looking sick. for the rear valance, did it come flat without the cutouts for the stock exhaust, or did u buy aftermarket?
The rear valence was bought from a dealers new parts "bin" and came complete with the sensors when I upgraded.Turns out at my 70k service the other week the Jag guy servicing the car (from another forum) tells me its off a diesel hence the lack of space to clean the top of the exhaust tips.Both petrol and diesel look similar even though petrol has 2 tips.
The valence needed to be cut (as it would have had to be even if it was a petrol valence) but this was simple job and the sensor wires were pushed backwards and secured so as not to get too near the exhausts.

I can't believe that they put the Subaru WRX in the same list with that orange thing, and they both got the same # of bag? I have so many pics of my Jag, that my girl is honestly JEALOUS of the kitty!

The Subaru looking at the pic on their site is an ugly monstrosityof a car with those google eyed headlamps.I would have given it 4 bags.It even makes the Bond Bug look better[:@]ORIGINAL: bigdreams05

Mitsubishi managed to stay alive just by that car alone! The EVO is just a sick sick car. I'll find a link about all the EVO's and post it later!

I couldn't find the link that I was looking for, but if you WIKI the Evo, you'll get a crap load of info!
