The Triumph Dolomite Club - EzBoard Archive

Been out driving a bit today, photographing, filming and testing out the 1500 a little (not pushing it mind, barely used to it!). Great weather for it, to say the least!<br>
<br>
However, here are a few snippets from the day (mostly random stuff!) <br>

And a brief flyby. Cameralady cut the film before I'd finished burbling away though, which is a shame as that was what that one was for! :<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

At the moment though, it has a friend!<br>

It's the 1850HL that Scott delivered at the weekend - manual (non-OD). Still not sure what we're going to do with this one but it's quite nice to have it regardless! I especially like the carb springs held in place with cable ties <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

Excellent! By the way, to satisgy everyones curiosity, the '1500' is definitely valencia. Suits the car really well. I get the feeling that the 1500 is going to be staying a while!<br>

She may have missed the end Lewis, but if I'm not mistaken that is quite an admiring giggle she gives just before she stops<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Nice car Lewis, as I've said before, but get rid of those king wing mirrors! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Its near enough Justyn! I was only one space out on the keybopard!<br>

Bloody sausage fingers!

...and those pistonheads badges. Next you'll be putting two white stripes over it front to back and going to Le Mans in it in the belief it makes you look cool and individual! Then you are only one step away from buying an S2000 with the reg no S200 OLK...

Gotta agree with Mart. Mirrors there are absolutely useless. If they served a purpose the shiteness of them I wouldn't find offensive. As it is they've got to go.<br>
<br>
I rather like the pistonheads logo and I thought putting it there was clever. If it were on the back an intelligent backwards cap wearing saxo driver (oxymoron I know) might look at the exhaust and change his mind about havin' a go. With it there the stealth is maintained.<br>

Ignore the Vauxhall driver Lewis.<br>

Ah well I have valid excuses for both - it already had the holes for the wingmirrors in the wings and I didn't like having black plugs in there, so it seemed sensible....you are right though, you can't see naff all out of them, just either a) yourself or b) the wind screen <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

I like the pistonheads sticker, it usually hides somewhere in all of my cars <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

The 1500 looks really low, i love it! How low did you go from standard, whats the setup spring and shock wise, and do you have any probs with ground clearance on our lovely city roads?

<p></p><i></i>

...anyway, its not a vauxhall, its a PROTON with a Rover K series!<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START : --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

I was once told by a lecturer the strongest thing on earth is a Proton, I said "what? them Cheap malasian cars?!"<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
