Milford Cubicle Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 No Hondas were ever fitted with Rover engines apart from the mid-90s Civic and Accord diesels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Didn't one of the Triumph TRs claim to be the first to have rear discs too?Don't think any TR had rear discs. TR3 (from '56) was the first Brit motor with disc brakes. Jensen had all-discs at some point too.What a boring lot we are! :lol:EDIT - and yes, it seems the R8 was the first small saloon with rear discs. Blimey. Jag Mk1 had 'em in 1957, little Renner in 1962. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayne Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 How do people manage to leave school with that level of literacy???My daughter is 6 and can spell better than that!! How is it that someone that went to school for another 10 years has worse spelling?I found out recently that young children are taught not to spell correctly."that's a difficult word, don't worry about spelling that correctly"I believe this is what's leading to a generation being almost illiterate.

AXrescuer Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I want that Fuego!!How do people manage to leave school with that level of literacy???My daughter is 6 and can spell better than that!! How is it that someone that went to school for another 10 years has worse spelling?I found out recently that young children are taught not to spell correctly."that's a difficult word, don't worry about spelling that correctly"I believe this is what's leading to a generation being almost illiterate.My wife is in her final year at uni training to be a primary teacher. She said she was surprised at just how many of her lecturers are unable to spell properly and some can't grasp even basic grammar. Yet there they are being paid to produce the country's new crop of teachers. How the hell do they slip through the system?Some years ago, my son was in tears after being given the results of a school spelling test. The so-called 'teacher' had marked 9 out of his 30 answers as wrong when they were in fact correct. The one he did get wrong was marked as correct! The mind boggles.

The mind boggles.Seconded on that one and im shocked at how many off these Fuegos have come up for sale over the past few months i honestly thought they where very thin on the ground theres also a black turbo one on the bay As for the schooling i dont understand it our two younguns are doing fine but that may be down to the fact that there are only 24 kids in the whole school so plenty off one to one with teachers.

Vin Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 ^^^That is class As regards disc brakes on all corners. As well as the Renner, the Fiat 124 had them in 1966. So by the late Sixties it wasn't unusual for a family saloon to have discs all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 1987 Nissan Laurel SGX Pretty barmy colour this, Sounds like the garage got stitched up over it though. brought to us by a customer who instructed us to repaint it, it transpired however that he could not or never intended to pay the cost of the repaint, which incidentally stands us at £1500.00.

Alexg Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 1984 Renault Fuego Turbo Alex_G whats happened! If it's the girlfriend then give her the boot, you'll have plenty more girls flocking around you in this clunge magnet!I know. I always knew I guess that I could never keep it. I tried to find storage but in the end admitted defeat. If it was road legal I might have been able to wangle it but I have no time of money to sort it. The parents hate having an engineless metro on the drive, imagine how they feel with this parked next to it. I blew a large chunk of my first home deposit on this baby and I need it back before the girlfriend looses her rag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
