  1. I just watched a video on it. Apparently they are "optimizing" everything but the thing that is different is the price. £199 for 16gb. Thats half the price of an ipad3. That could change my opinion.
  2. A bit older now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFd5Cci_pE4&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Geiq0FP13uQ&feature=related
  3. Fuel is less than 10p a litre in some places.
  4. You must in the small minority, most people after using IOS love it. Its just better. Samsung, HTC and Google are doing this whole right quad core x amount of ram and so on this phone will be brilliant. Where as apple is saying how can we make this phone easier to use then building the hardware around that. I've not used a phone in a while thinking wow this needs a faster CPU I'm usually think well they didn't design this os or program very well. I'm still a pc sort of guy but when it comes to phones Apple did it on em.
  5. as long as the offset was right and it cleared the brakes something quite small?
  6. I used to really be an advocate of andriod's. "people who use apples are stupid" I used to say. You know they always say oh the iphone has changed my life. Well the iphone DID change my life. Throwing hardware at a software problem is pointless IMO. Android is still clunky and no where near as smooth as IOS.
  7. Imagine 500nm in a fwd car. Torque steer city.
  8. You'd be surprised how good a mapped diesel can be. It just missed the noise and you have to get used to shifting to keep them in the power band. I can get tcs to light up taking off in 2nd
  9. I actually saw R111 CEY today but I was driving so couldn't take a picture.
  10. A stock exhaust can flow 400bhp so no worries.
  11. I would never buy an Alfa to put 100k on it. Friend of a Friend took delivery of one. Less than a mile of driving "catastrophic engine damage" was done. Plus that 1 series is pretty good looking. Alfas are also fwd.
  12. You got a guide on how to do this?
  13. Boo How come it was costing so much to run?
  14. As above really. Rules : 1. Pop vids only 2. No chat with out a video 3. No moaning or oh this isnt music here is *whatever* If the mods could moderator this thread with the rules above that would be great, or turn the spam bot on them. So I'l just drop these 2 right here
  15. ^^ Couple of rang ane's. The NSX even the old ones are a thing of sheer beauty. That new one is vile.

    650i with LPG. Hero spec right thurr.
  17. Copied from another forum and not strictly relevant but its still true. Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to £100... If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this... The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay £1. The sixth would pay £3. The seventh would pay £7.. The eighth would pay £12. The ninth would pay £18. The tenth man (the richest) would pay £59. So, that's what they decided to do.. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve ball. "Since you are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by £20". Drinks for the ten men would now cost just £80. The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes. So the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men? The paying customers? How could they divide the £20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share? They realized that £20 divided by six is £3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by a higher percentage the poorer he was, to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using, and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay. And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% saving). The sixth now paid £2 instead of £3 (33% saving). The seventh now paid £5 instead of £7 (28% saving). The eighth now paid £9 instead of £12 (25% saving). The ninth now paid £14 instead of £18 (22% saving). The tenth now paid £49 instead of £59 (16% saving). Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings. "I only got a pound out of the £20 saving," declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, “but he got £10!" "Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a pound too. It's unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!" "That's true!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get £10 back, when I got only £2? The wealthy get all the breaks!" "Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison, "we didn't get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!" The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill! And that, boys and girls, journalists and government ministers, is how our tax system works. The people who already pay the highest taxes will naturally get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore.
  18. Very nice mate, Just shows its worth traveling for the right car. Enjoy
  19. much as I'm now 30 you've spent the last 2 weeks convincing me to get a merc with wood interior! A mercedes is different I actually had the chance to sell my car and take a merc, but I like driving both. When I cant be bothered driving or when its really cold and wet the 350z is a pain TBH. After a 16 hour shift I want to sit in a car and whisk me home. When its a cracker of a day I love the 350z But Merc and BMW over jag, volvo, saab or audi any day of the week IMO. WOOD FTW!
  20. Dude why do you want a Jag when your under 25?
  21. 35% of how ever million of members they have. I'm not saying this is right but in India the second biggest employer in the world Indian railways dealt with a strike. They just fired everyone. Coldel are you looking at it from an employers view though. Public sector jobs should still be something people want to do but personally if I wasn't getting paid enough. I wouldn't strike I would just look for a better paid job?
  22. Sorry officer I was playing angry birds and I got so angry trying to kill them stupid pigs
  23. I think an iPod in between the spokes of the steering wheel at the top. I used to do this with my old phone and car to use the sat nav. Worked perfectly.
