Quote from Shotglass :

small amounts of oil on the intake side arent unusual and should just be a case of the engine sucking them up though the crankcase ventilation

Yeah I thought as much, so the turbos are out of the race as well, what a relief

Quote from Shotglass :

shouldnt the seals around the valve prevent that from happening at all valve positions? especially i such large amounts

Yes of course, but since I'm assuming the seals are worn, a sticking valve would allow pretty substantial amounts of oil to enter, depending on oil pressure. And of course, there's the cracked valve guide theory.

My poor little '5 is deteriorating worse than i thought it would, its only been parked up for about 6 months.

Poor thing, why was it parked up for 6 months?

His clutch decided to quit its job.

Yeah, big bangs and no more clutch, its going off to my cousins place to get fixed up soon as he has a workshop and all the hydraulic ramps and other garage kit, but the list of things it needs has now got longer as its been standing for a while, i hope that between us we can have it all done and back on the road for the summer.

it's ok. cars don't have souls. they might as well be ginger.

Cars do have souls. I believe so. I believe they are all living beings. With character and personality.

Yeah.
Seriously dadge, what are you doing here? You say cars are made for going from A to B, then you say they don't have souls... clearly you don't Live for Speed, at least not such as achieved by cars

Either everything has a soul or nothing does.

Quote from morpha :

Yeah.

everything natural has a soul. except gingers. nothing man-made does. except shoes.

there ya go, fixed it for you.
Seriously morpha, eh?

In case you forgot: we're all man made, literally.

lol. ok Lerts, you keep telling yourself that. and i take it the planet is square???

You know, some people actually mean "literally" when they say it. Your daddy had some fun with your mum and that's how you came into existence, man-made.

"Soul" is an arbitrary value everyone assigns individually, commonly based on effort that went into its creation or a certain sensation associated with it. If it's something else to you, so be it, you're entitled to your own definition.

so, my mother who is female had nothing to do with the process? shut up you tool.
man doesn't make man. it's a natural occurrence which happens to all animals. your opening line kinda spoils any further input you offer. are trees man mad too?

Thank you, come again.

my mother is not a man. making babies is a team effort dude. you don't just collect the tokens and wait for one to arrive in the post.

Quote from mamoru :

Thank you, come again.

that's what she said
but if you want to get really picky. we're woman made. all the growing and making is done inside a woman. all a man does is glaze the egg.
next argument please.

You said nothing man-made, except shoes, possesses a soul, in response to which I pointed out that it takes a man (I figured you know how reproduction works, so that it additionally requires a woman was implied) to make a baby. Obviously you failed to understand the subtlety of the literal as opposed to the metaphorical meaning.

Besides, we grow babies (embryos really, but some demand we call them babies from the start) in tubes now, is that "natural" by your definition?

Quote from BlueFlame :

My little van has a soul, hell I even have a name for her. Vanessa, slender upfront but got a big ol' bootie. <3

Just taking off the roof rack has made her a different animal, she looks sleeker.




Although like all women, she can get moody, every time I talk about replacing her she kicks up a fuss, admittedly a service and a bit of injector cleaner will fix that, but still, she doesn't like me looking at other women.

not at all dude. i just thought your argument was shit. in the literal and metaphorical sense.

Quote from morpha :

depends on your definition of "tubes". nobody has ever "demanded" i call an embryo anything other than what it is. poor use of the word "demand" no?

EDIT: it also depends on your definition of "we". i have never read about a male pregnancy. although the roll of the man is quite important, it's only a small part in the whole scheme of things.

Quote from dadge :

And have alot of fun while doing so!

Quote from dadge :

My argument? I temporarily descended to your level with a short, supposedly witty remark, not an argument at all. You made a pretty stupid statement involving gingers and shoes, surely you couldn't expect much of an argument in response.

Quote from dadge :

Really now? Is there any form of tube to be grown in that you'd consider natural? Or for that matter, is anything that happens in a laboratory natural?

Quote from dadge :

I said "some demand" and if you go on the big wide world of the internetz and watch a few talk show vids and whatnot, you'll find that that's accurate. Some people demand that a developing human being be called a baby from day one, to dilute the distinction between embryo/foetus/baby or something, don't care.

Quote from dadge :

"We" as in mankind, but not all of us, just some. Mostly doctors and scientists, although the latter are generally prohibited from growing human life for scientific purposes.

i've never known you to try to be funny. and now i know why.

Quote from morpha :

You made a pretty stupid statement involving gingers and shoes, surely you couldn't expect much of an argument in response.

if you couldn't see my comment as a joke then you really should steer clear from the funny stuff.
now go back up to your own level where comedy doesn't exist and the planet is flat.

Quote from dadge :

I was just standing normally while you were playing with mud, no horses (of any height) involved.

Quote from dadge :

Your intent was well understood, but it wasn't funny. Making fun of gingers seems to be predominantly a British thing, so maybe it's amusing to them, but it simply wasn't funny to me.

Quote from dadge :

There's plenty of comedy here and I don't know why you keep bringing "the" planet into play.

I voiced my definition of "soul" and I didn't see you disagree with it, so why is this still continuing?

Quote from morpha :

aww, that's cute. sounds like someone told you to say that to people being mean to you. you should have said "how can i sore like an eagle when i'm flying with pigeons."

strange that 90% of ginger videos on youtube are from the USA. see, because i live in Britain, i tend to joke with British people. i'm hardly going to joke in Russian now am i?

Quote from morpha :

you're answer to that is in your statement. are you sure you're better than me? because you're not really making a convincing arguement for it mate.

Quote from morpha :

are you sure? because i remember saying something like this; "everything natural has a soul. except gingers. nothing man-made does. except shoes."

I think thats why the majority of men like wide arches, cos most men like a girl with some purchase.


On the matter of cars having a soul, think of it this way, they need what we do to continue working, oxygen, fuel, water. Headlights to see. ECU in modern cars acts as a brain.

I believe all cars have a soul im sure most of the people here remember parents cars/or car that had a certain effect on them, my dads Audi 200 I remember well, and out Swiss Beetle we had, both had personalities all cars do. That's why the Italian ones decide to give up and the French cars has pistons that have the personality of deserters.

Quote from dadge :

I don't generally assume myself to be superior to anyone, I was merely referring to that particular remark as being low, respectively you for making it.
If you scroll through the last few posts you will find that none of your posts provoked a positive response. Four people explicitly disagreed with your statement, none explicitly agreed. Your "joke" failed to provoke any response at all aside from mine.
That doesn't make anyone better or worse than you, nor does it mean you're wrong, because just as everyone else you're obviously entitled to your own opinion, but it's just that. Your opinion.

Quote from dadge :

Where in that sentence are you defining "soul"? You state what does have or doesn't have it, but not what it is. You do not define it.

Quote from morpha :

I don't generally assume myself to be superior to anyone,

lol, that's like saying "i don't generally stab people". you claimed that you're better/higher than me. you only need to do it once. you can build a thousand bridges in your life. but when you shag one sheep, do you think you'll be remembered as a great bridge builder?

earlier you said;

Quote from morpha :

you came to my level remember( something you state you don't usually do:really. implying that i do this all the time. i think it's up to you to piss off back up to your level again. i'm already at mine after all.
