    Plate

    One of the mods will have to move it for you . Pete
  2. Poor old Alberto Contador had the Danish national anthem played when he won the 2010 Tour De France and at The 2011 Giro D'Italia they played the old Franco era Spanish National anthem. The Kazakhstani one is the best one I've seen though Pete
  3. I think you need to be using Firefox as your web browser. Pete
  4. Good point . I had a word about this with the guy who MOT'd mine recently, he was obviously aware of all the changes to the MOT regs but described this as a "grey area". What he told me was that he would fail a car that had them fitted if they didn't work, he also said that if they were completely removed then he would find it difficult to fail them as at that time he didn't have a list of cars that had these fitted, in other words if he spots the washer bottles, pipes, brackets, etc still in situ then it'll be a fail. That's only one tester though, others may well see it differently. If you buy a UK Zed with an aftermarket front bumper then its well worth checking that the parts needed to get the washers working are present or available as it may not always be a grey area. Pete
  5. All U.K cars have them . Not too sure about JDM cars, some definitely don't have them. Pete
  6. Welcome along It's not too bad in in the summer. I read here that its something to do with condensation. Pete
  7. Definitely Vettel's fault, when he's seen the replays he might change his mind. Pete
  8. This is going to cause more problems as I see it. Relaxation isn't abandonment, how will owners know if their plate is now legal, how will The Police know? Will everyone have to have clearance from The DVLA for how they space their plate and where they put their screws and carry a certificate around with them . Pete
  9. I'm not going to watch the video, I find things like this too disgusting and it winds me up like nothing else. Pete
  10. The U.K's limit on drink driving is the joint highest of any country in the world. Even countries like Nigeria, Russia, Columbia and China have lower limits or Zero Tolerance and our limits have remained unchanged since they were introduced over 40 years ago. I don't understand how successive governments have failed to reduce the limits, do they think its a vote loser or something Pete
  11. So much for the police stamping down on anti-social behaviour If it was me I'd have a word with the press and my MP. Pete
  12. Spotted a couple of those pics, mystified by the other two though Pete
  13. A whole week to wait, how frustrating . Don't know the car though, post up some pics when you get it and someone might recognize it. Pete
  14. Darn it, Raikkonen has been handed a 5 place grid penalty, gearbox had to be changed. Hamilton looks very strong though Pete
  15. +1. However, the rest of the world is not as tax friendly as it once was. http://www.businesspundit.com/12-countr ... tax-rates/ Pete
  16. Welcome to the forum Yes, standard from April 2006 Pete
  17. 180 years of experience there Pete
  18. Which 3 buttons? The early roadsters didnt have the remote stereo controls on the steering wheels - they just had the cruise control buttons if they were the GT pack. But, the later ones, like mine have both the cruise control buttons (2 buttons and a toggle switch), plus the remote stereo controls (4 buttons). They dont have the bluetooth phone buttons however... The buttons on my 55 reg GT and Caroline's 08 GT Roadster have quite different functions...I've just been out and had a look, never realized that before, probably because I never use them . Here's an earlier GT roadster with 3 buttons, I didn't know that the non GT roadsters were button free, always thought they were imports Pete
  19. Yeah, I've seen Squee about a couple of times in the Chester area...when I've been out in The Clio. Pete
  20. Lousy paint match between the bonnet and the bumper and in desperate need of spacers. 5/10 for effort. Quite local to me but I've never seen it before. Pete
  21. You would need to lift the bonnet on that one, I'm pretty sure that the only exterior difference is the bulge bonnet on the 313's. Rays were fitted as standard to The GT facelifts, they may have been fitted to the last of the pre facelifts GT's too as mine had them fitted and I wasn't invoiced for them, it could be that the dealer simply made a mistake though I think you've covered nearly all the differences. The only ones I can think of are the different surround for the SatNav and on the roadster models there were only 3 buttons on the steering wheel even for the GT models. In theory it would be possible to completely update the exterior of the pre facelifts but you're probably looking at a couple of grand at least, cost me £800 just to add the rear led's and bulge bonnet. Pete
  22. Very nice , like the wheels too Pete
