  1. Come on, 350's are not that bad
  2. Yeah as I said a lot of good mannered, polite cyclists who give road users respect, but a very large % of complete twunts too Sent from the golf club...
  3. Thats not a BGW thats a mobile car porch! Sent from the golf club...
  4. Why not bite the bullet and get a new bumper, something a bit different? By the time you pay for that one to be repaired & sprayed might not be much in it.... Unless of course you do get info from the camera and get the work done that way fingers crossed Sent from the golf club...
  5. Just spurted my coffee all over the place at the guy getting his jacket off whilst cycling along... absolutely brilliant. talk about karma! I just watched it to the end...Just spat my cornflakes out..so funny..the guy taking off his coat is a classic.. ! :lol: in slow motion comedy gold I hardly ever watch these things till the end but so glad I did with this one Sent from the golf club...
  6. You know what they say Will ~ money can't buy you everything. Common sense can't be bought. I actually like cycling and if I could cycle over the Thames to work I would, keep meaning to check out the Gravesend to Tilbury ferry and see if it makes sense.... Definitely won't be clad in lycra though, at least not in public Sent from the golf club...
  7. I think Will is busy trying to beat his Evo Triangle lap time Sent from the golf club...
  8. Last bits just arrived Front discs are meaty Can't wait to get it all fitted at Kaizers next week! Sent from the golf club...
  9. Thanks for the info guys, will certainly do some searching for common problems etc from what you have said
  10. Yeah sorry Mary was looking at Dervs but I have swayed her towards a petrol one
  11. I will have you know it is a fashion choice
  12. So sorry to hear that Pete, never an easy time, thoughts with you and Caroline x
  13. I can see a couple of bananas, unless the cat had seriously large claws !
  14. Depends on the model Ricey ~ there is a 3.2 V6 Quattro petrol version one that I believe the 0-60 time is around the 5.5 second mark. Been looking at an 08/09 TTS 2l which is 5.4 and averages 35mpg (which will be around 30 but still decent)
  15. Talking about the petrol version not the derv
  16. Ahhhhh thats interesting, thats one of the models i was looking at!! how much did you pay for it? and hows the performance compared with the oem system? can you post a pickie of it in the car?? Here you go bud, pic of the unit installed, chavtastic background image is optional I paid £465 for the work, not sure how much of that was headunit, adapter for steering controls, fascia panel, iPhone cable and labour - but that was about a year ago now, I bet you could get the headunit on its own for about £250-£300 Performance is hard for me to say as I only had the OEM for about a fortnight before ripping it out, couldn't live with no iPhone connection for my music or lack of bluetooth. Also, shortly after I replaced the headunit I also had the amp, sub, front and rear speakers replaced. So I couldn't say how much was just down to the headunit, but for me to have done the extra work so quickly afterward I can't have been that happy with the sound (the functionality was a massive step up though, I can say that). As a general rule of thumb in audio, your system is only as good as your weakest component, so if you just did the headunit I would expect an improvement, but not massive as the bose amp, sub and speakers will still be holding you back. Also when you spend money on audio you WANT it to sound better so generally you convince yourself it does In terms of the whole setup versus OEM, I can promise you it's night and day, but the Hertz amp and speakers are a huge factor in that. Thanks buddy Great taste in music
  17. Probably because it opens up to reveal the slot for the CD so needs room to open.... My JVC was the same but as I didn't use CDs I mounted it flush and disabled the opening just in case I hit it by accident!
  18. +1. Funny seeing that idiot get what he deserves. Funniest thing I have seen for a while, how the guy recording it managed to carry on without falling off laughing I will never know
  19. On paper as quick as a Zed and with 4wd probably quicker everyday driving to be fair...
  20. 2:44 really made me laugh out loud :lol:
  21. I must admit if I did have to cycle anywhere again (used to when I was at uni) I wouldn't be a ***** that ran red lights and cycled on the pavement, it must really pi$$ of decent cyclists...
  22. I am sure that clerical error will be noticed at some point.... but you should be ok as long as you don't mention it on the Internet or anything silly like that
  23. You will hopefully get to see it next week
