Hiya Everyone by NautilusNick on Mon May 09, 2011 7:15 am
Hi All,

Im Nick sort of proud owner of Banger a 1994 2.4i lwb in Nautilus Green. Its my first 4x4 a bargain? buy off ebay at £300 which is making me think it might not last very long lol.
It drives like a boat with a wallowing sort of meander, leaving me to sort of point and hope that Ill make the corner lol. I absolutly love it to drive wish I had got one sooner especially when I opened the bonnet and thought my god that dont look none to different to my old cavalier and carlton engines :D I am likely to post really stupid obvious questions because i know nothing about engines etc but have a willingness to take things apart and tinker. just thought Id say Hi and hope for your tolerance lol.

Hi and welcome - you will soon get accustomed to the handling - its a bit like steering a ship but thankfully without the spikey bits on the helm. Easy tip, look well ahead and set your course.

Welcome to FOG mate..

stupid questions are my speciality...

i've discovered that using the power of the mind is more efficient than using the steering wheel for going around corners at more than 40mph..
The greatest lesson in life is to know that even us idiots are right sometimes
