Electronic Dump Valve CLICK

It's an under bonnet speaker which makes a Tsssshhhhhhhhh noise when you change gear in your Nova/Corsa/Saxo/Whatever.

"The SABER-EDV is the ONLY way to gain the DUMP VALVE sound without spending thousands on a turbo conversion."

Gotta be in with a chance of winning the thread IMO.

Truck Nutz. A bizarre plastic scrotal facsimile that is hung from the tow hitch of pick-ups driven by particularly brain-dead hill-billies. Purpose unknown.

I traded it in for a Talbot in 1983.frown
It was mustard coloured and had the black vinyl roof.
And a tachometer!!!!
Whether it was faster than a normal 1300 I don't know. I doubt it.
And the bloody suspension kept collapsing...

..and another one. If you own a classic car that sits in the garage all winter you can buy custom rubber mats that mimic the contour of your tyres and prevent "expensive flat spotting", £125 a set , what a bargain.

Personally I prefer to wander into the garage every fortnight or so, fire the car up and move it forward a foot and then turn it off. Saves me £125 and another £500 by preventing the clutch/brakes from binding, an even bigger bargain.
Less the £200 for a new exhaust due to corrosion from condensation........wink

And yes, often wondered if anyone was ever daft enough to pay £125 for those tyre mats......rolleyes

I just got another set of wheels for my track car for when it's stood around and for attaching straps to when it's being trailered. Saves flatspotting the decent track tyres and a lot cheaper than £125 for some mats (which will still leave the tyres slightly flat spotted)
