  1. Met my wife on a car forum, Never been into clubbing or anything but online worked for me!
  2. RR list for Sat at end of Oct: 1. John Tarantula (Michael) JDM DE 2. The Bounty Bar Kid 3. 4RE :-) 4. Soimafreak
  3. Just a thought, maybe 30mph speed limits are the ones you need to be paying more attention in. The fact it's 3 times now, you'd hope to have learned after the first or even second time. +1
  4. it should do, I know if I set mine to 18 on a hot day and auto it will take about 5 mins of driving around before it starts to step down the fan. Have you tried it around the 25 ish mark to see if it warms it up and switches off? Typically i get fed up with the auto and set the fan speed manually.

    Mileage

    56 plate, 83k miles (50k in 2 years ) New engine now though, only 43k EDIT: - Worth mentioning my previous engine was fine it just had me looking after it and I forgot to check the oil
  6. Happened around here a few years back: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hamp ... 493713.stm But in fairness I don't think they went through a post box on route, or leapfrogged off of another car.
  7. buffer size / card write speed, In one lap of Ginetta's I only had enough space to take 15 ish pictures and then it would take a min to write to the card. Granted on Large Jpeg, but compared to a 600d which is taking the same pictures and have written them to card almost instantly. Other than that, it was absolutely fine.
  8. I'd echo Canon and 600 or similar rage is good, the 350d is good, i only got rid of mine as shooting cars on a track was a bit challenging, doable but challenging... As for glasses, up to you if you want it to be a problem or not, you can wear your glases and use it or, take them off and use the adjuster to make the focus sharp in the view finder.
  9. I use to be precious about it, My wife just doesn't do the milage I do, when i'f met her she'd been driving for 5 years and covered maybe 30k miles, I did that in my first year. As time went on I let her drive my car when it suited me, and I got very frustrated with her driving it, the way she doesn't do certain things etc. \ But the reality is she may not drive technically better than I do, but she will certainly not take as many risks as I do so now she drives What ever car she wants as I know she won't do any harm. Only once did she nudge a kurb, and I gave her the biggest evils I could, then checked the wheel out and there was the tinniest mark on it, I let her sweat it out for a few seconds and then let her know it's okay. In short, I think you're just anxious, the more she drives the car the more familiar she will be and driving it un-supervised she will gain more confidence, Appreciate she may have a few near misses, but just spell it out, "You broke it you buy it" (or repair)
  10. Been thinking about this a bit more... Having a seat is all fine and dandy, But I'll need a harness, I don't have a roll cage to secure it too and I don't really want to by the sparco harness bar at £600 ish The only reason I want the seat is so I can sit in my car and wear a helmet, so my questions are, Does anyone use the race seats and normal seat belts ? I can't see how that is sensible as i'd have thought the seat belt would be obstructed by the seat it's self, but if not that solves one problem. Is there any other places to mount the harness too ? I assume I could use the rear strut brace if I removed the cover, but has anyone done that ?
  11. What's wrong with their logo? Well that ones not to bad I think over the last two years GoDaddy have just been bringing more and more attention to themselves, and not in a good way. I imagine that value for money they're not too bad and considering the next step is a more personalised service costing hundreds of £'s a month, and as Ian said, no problems until now. At work we do $10,000's of hosting within Amazon and we have multiple servers in multiple locations and still get hit by outages due to "unforeseen" dependancies on core amazon architecture which they don't make public :/ Likewise similar money in Rackspace, different problems but all resulting in down time. In short hosting sucks either way you just have to accept it and live with the little outages.
  12. tbh, i've never liked go daddy, and with the SOPA stuff (which they did a u turn on) I don't think i'd ever trust them. And totally unrelated... I hate the logo :/
  13. just had a look at the pictures, I can see me getting carried away in there looks awesome! sounds like this autumns weekend break will be Snowdon with a stop off on the way home
  14. Ah I don't mind demon-tweaks and they do have the best range, they are my go-to modified webshop, but I'm a proper man size and buying a seat online feels wrong. Also didn't realise they had a walk in place
  15. Been looking at getting a race seat for the car, but I really don't want to buy one from demon-tweeks and would much prefer to go to a shop and touch / feel the seats. Does anyone know of any places around Hampshire / Surrey / Berkshire ?
