Ok, make a post like the year is 1985 and the Internet exists.

Ok Mine,


Ok, I have a 1982 Golf GTI 1.6, been a good car but its coming up for a change, what should I replace it with, I am looking at the new MK2 1.8 GTi but apparently it is heavier, there is the Astra MK2 16 Valve with, wait for it, 150 bhp due soon !

I've recently jacked up the rear suspension on my Vauxhall Chevette 1.6. Now it hates corners even more than ever...and i've stuffed it into a lampost. (This did actually happen in 1987)

Hi, I married a lovely girl last year and we have our first child. I can't help thinking that one day all this will come to a bitter end, she'll turn into a total lying cow and they'll invent a way to steal not only our children but our wages at source. Who knows, it may even mean I'll have to sell that Corvette I may someday buy.

Watch that, it will be the RMS "Rear Main Shifter", if you dont get it sorted soon your rear hub will collapse, make sure you have a good warranty and get it in for a check if it goes into "Slip Gear" during full bore take offs and you lose control and plough into the side of Mr Slater's Chrysler. Seriously on the 1981 Grifter its a big job and involves 15 minutes labour at GT Car and Cycles (A Grifter Indipendant) and can cost up to £13, which is enough for seven tubs of really good hair gel and a Thompson Twins Tape.

He had the 1.21 gigawatt's of power in 1985, wasn't a problem then lol.

Does it annoy anyone else they pronounce Gigawatt as Jigawatt in that movie franchise.
