    I'm seeing the same as you Roo
  2. "WARNING.. DOOR OPEN" Think there might be more serious things to worry about there to be honest
  3. If I remember right from when I did mine the colour map on the instructions wasn't 100% accurate, however the locations of wires A, B & C in the illustration were correct so I simply connected the incartec wires to the colour combinations that were correct and used the illustration to figure out where the last one was supposed to go.

    I really like it, been keeping an eye on it since the photos started appearing online a couple of months ago. Bet the visibility's crap when you're in it tho.
  5. Technically it's legal, although as rtb says I suspect if you were to weave across lanes at exactly the speed limit but overtaking all the slow people the cops would find something illegal in what you're doing. And probably rightly so.
  6. Got pulled by the rozzers twice on the way home tonight. Overtook a learner driver doing 25 in a 40 limit the first time, probably hit about 55 as I went past him and immediately dropped back to 40ish once I was past. Didn't realise it was a copper behind me at the time but they did wait until I got to the roundabout then just had a chat through car windows, suggested I maybe should have waited until I was completely off the corner before overtaking in future. Could see over a 1/4 mile down the road as I overtook and there was nothing on the other side. Went round the roundabout and some daft cow in a ka made me slam on the breaks and bury my hand in the horn as she just pulled out in front of me, then proceeded to drive in front of me at under 30 in a 40 for the next mile or 2 until we got to a hill. The hill is only about 300m but pretty steep so has 2 lanes so you can overtake the slow people. But oh no... she slows down to under 20 and stays in the outside lane so I did the reasonable thing and blasted past her at about 45 on the inside. Again there was a copper behind me (again I had no idea), this time the blue lights came on and they pulled me. Thankfully it was a different pair of cops. They started going on about overtaking on the inside and didn't seem very impressed when I pointed out that the highway code states you can overtake on the inside when the outside lane traffic is travelling at under the speed limit and did the usual blustering before 'letting me off' with a warning. Must have been a really slow evening for proper crime.
  7. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1035729/Britain-alert-deadly-new-knife-exploding-tip-freezes-victims-organs.html I've often lamented on how simply stabbing someone with a knife doesn't quite have the same thrill that it used to, how about you?
  8. Still in 1. Rawbhp = Black 2. ATTAK Z = Silver 3. Husky = Black TESTER 4. Fakeindian = Black 5. ChrisS = Silver 6. MacW = Black 7. 8. 9. 10
  9. Isn't that the veyron that took a swim at 1:19? Didn't the driver claim to have been hit by a bird which caused the crash?
  10. Managed to get to work fine this morning (worked from home wed & thur) but coming home was a nightmare. I live in a rural Surrey village so as soon as I left the A roads it all fell apart. I couldn't get up my road which is pretty much a glacier atm and is a hill, even using 2nd gear with ESP off and just letting the engine revs run the wheels I was going nowhere. Eventually let gravity take control and swung the car backwards our of the road then headed for the pub carpark. Not much better tbh, got a bit of speed up to get into it but soon ran to a halt. At one point (just to say I had) I got out of the car when it was still in gear to watch the wheels go slowly round in the ice. Will have to go and dig it out in the morning, really looking forward to that, honest.
  11. If I remember right they call it Luxury Tax. Basically if a car's got leather seats and aircon they stick about 25% on top
  12. Got a call from the boss this morning saying our office is inaccessible by car so only those close enough to walk in are expected to turn up. Suits me just fine
  13. The aircon trick is the way forward for clearing the mist while driving but for clearing excess moisture out of your car just leave a tray of salt in it overnight. Works a treat
  14. Waved at you as I went northbound around J7 on Thursday morning, not sure you would have seen with a combined speed of exactly 140mph
  15. Played leapfrog with you early Thursday morning after leaving the M25.
  16. If money is no object then go with the Alpine. I bought the Pioneer F710BT (because money was an object) which is great but the Alpine is better and the sat nav module you get for it is the best I've ever seen (no offense Nurrish ). You'll not regret the Pioneer if you stick with it but the Alpine is definitely a step up.
  17. You're not alone fella, sitting in a fairly full office atm. Only day I have off apart from the obvious is NYE, which hopefully I'll spend driving up to the Lake District for a party, weather permitting.

  19. In the frost the other morning mine went from frozen over to dead clear in about 5 mins, there was steam coming off the drivers side at one point.
  20. Hehe.. average of 0.1674 with a best sheep of 0.0000 It moved I tell you! Wasn't an involuntary twitch at all!
  21. Couldn't agree more. The only half decent road into my village just happens to run past the golf course, coincidence I'm sure....
  22. Nice car and a bargain, good luck with the sale. Only question I have tho is the gauge seems to read 35k and you say it's done 45k. Or am I just really suffering this week?
  23. Kill 2 birds with one stone, here's a pic of me and my car
