Where's Poverty??
« on: April 07, 2012, 03:58:43 pm »
I don't mean in a 'putting salt in wounds' sense - but he's just gone missing completely?

If someone knows him, tell him I hope his car problems are getting sorted and I'm sure if he needs some help the forum will step up  :happy2:

.
Hasn't he posted very recently in Oli's Lambo thread?

Perhaps he's only into such exotica nowadays.

EDIT: No, I'm mixing him up with cupra_k1.

Very true, and I'm guessing the ramifications to other parts of the engine could be very costly too.

Well slotting the wrong cog will never be saved by a rev limiter, so it wouldn't surprise me if his bonnet is full of valves.

Poor chap.
