Is that temporarily because your invisible aurora is going to break it or for some other undisclosed reason ? :laughing

Both!!!

As I mentioned on the “project” thread this is the only MR2 I’ve owned that my leaky warp-core didn’t manage to break. Can’t be having that, so going to sling a V6 in the back.

I’m sure it’ll give me no trouble at all once I’ve fundamentally rearranged it’s innards on my driveway / in someone’s shed. :laughing

I'm not sure what the thread title of that was, but I've had a look back through my post history and found the following:
Thread: The Red Arrows are so rubbish.... Feb 13, 2007
Thread: Red arrow shown who's boss Feb 13, 2007
Thread: Red Arrows are safe Apr 10, 2007

Clicking on each one, I get

Information
The requested topic does not exist.

I think there has been a cull of some sort as the only posts of mine for the whole of 2007 that are currently viewable are here: Forum: MR2OC Event pictures and videos
For everything else the Forum: tag for the post is blank and trying to open it returns the same message above.
