  6. Lol thanks chaps! And Alex it's less than 2 years since I've been to a meet ta very much lol Still too long though! Still, Mt presence isn't really required at meets now, as the meets are more for you guys to all get to know each other etc and have a laugh. Will be nice to get to a few meets but such is life things keep happening that keep me busy. Got something else happening right now that's going to have to take priority over everything just now, will be letting the team know but otherwise it has to stay private for now

  8. Thanks mate! This new phone keeps changing what I type to some weird words! Lol the typos are unbelievable!
  9. Well, my IT course at college is nearing the end. Been nothing but exams this past few weeks which has been stressful to say the least! Had my final English (now known for some reason as communication) exam on Friday. Had to do a PowerPoint presentation for it. Now I hate public speaking as I'm pretty crappie at it , and had to choose something to do a talk on. After loads of ideas finally decided to talk about something that I know inside out...... our very own Civic5 ! Did the club history, meets and shows, activities etc and the forum in general. Also spoke about my team that help run this place and also the family feeling that we have in the club. Got loads of questions asked at the end of the talk too, folk seemed genuinely interested! So... the result? Passed with flying colours! Really thought this would be the one thing up fail on but flew through it! So thank you civic5.com, all you members and team who make this suchange a great place to be!
  10. Looks even better on those rims! Perfection!
  11. That looks sweet mate!
  12. Now THAT is a mini. Unlike the bloated over weight thing BMW have inflicted on us!
  13. I tried changing the sensor in the ceiling when I had my 1.4 civic and it didn't work. I used the sensor from my aerodeck to try it. My 1.4 fob wouldn't work with it. However when I used the fob from the aerodeck with the sensor from the deck still fitted to my 1.4 it opened and locked the doors no problem. So the sensor/receiver have to match.
  14. To replace the original key fob you would need the matching receiver dome, module In dash and the fob. All three must be matching
  15. Wow, some quality metal there and so many wants! As much as I dislike Renaults, always had a soft spot for that model. Was so far advanced for the time and still looks amazing! That wee Mark2 Escort looks spot on and as for the Lotus Sunbeam.....droooooool! Used to be to A35's parked in my street when I was growing up! one belonged to my friends sister and was a right beat up wee thing (the car not the sister! lol)
  16. lol Can remember seeing that rover "Tourer" for the first time and seeing it being described as "the only rover tourer made by rover". Had to laugh! I explained the story behind that car (or the other one that's going about) about how Rover had bought in two Aerodeck bodyshells from Honda, but due to funding, decided no to go ahead with it. Then two employees at Rover bought the shells and added the Rover front panels but had to leave the rear as Honda intended as Rover hadn't made any new rear lights/bumpers/tailgates for then, again due to no money for it. Then called them Rover tourers, even though Rover never actually made that version of the tourer (although they did make the earlier 416 style tourer)! I merley pointed out that it was just a Civic Aerodeck with Rover panels fitted to it (and Rover running gear) and think it was then that I got banned from the MG Rover forums! lol That pic keeps coming back to haunt me! Funnily enough, I actually like the look of it!
  17. Yeah, think I'm gonna do that too. Might help make things a bit easier to bear! Gonna pay the bills tomorrow the see what Ive got left from this months wages, hopefully enough to get that damn ABS sensor! Had a go at getting it off but the bolts are rock solid, didnt even move after heating them and they're trying to round off. Gonna be a pig to change! Any ideas?
