  1. George, I heard you got it in the ring for charity too? Very droll I'd give it to you in "the ring", but you'd enjoy it , don't knock it till you've tried it
  2. Good on ya fella There should be more like you, not easy to get in the ring for any cause
  3. I am not a slapper! I'm a man whore - there's a difference. Man whore in distressed boots, to boot
  4. As I've said on another thread, I too was looking at these as areplacement, a lot of owners on RX8OC swapped their sh!t RE040's and 50's to the Sessanta's, the feedback was very good on them. Looking forward to your review, so hopefully you'll have a good few hundred miles and the releasant agent scrubbed off in the not too distant future The money that places are looking at for Bridgestones is ridiculous, some places are quoting £260 a corner It'll be interesting to see if the Sessantas have better wear as well, my rears are about done in after only 11k, and I'm not that hard on them
  5. I feel their pain on that!! Like most Terriers, my little Ellie has not got the best power of recall, when she gets the scent of a rabbit, squirrel, fox or similar, she's offski, mostly chasing shadows, it's hillarious to watch The advantage of a small dog that has a propensity to have a roll in an "interesting" pile of pooh (mostly fox or badger), is that she's easy to wash, I just take her in the shower with me, she loves that, not!! Another advantage is that she can be picked up out of the way of danger when larger more threatening dogs come along, although she can outrun most. The number of people that I see struggling to cope with their larger dogs when they decide to have a "rumble" is, again, hilarious but also sometimes alarming.
  6. She's never ate my "gardening sandals" tho, not like Nismo
  7. Hmm, not often, I'm averaging 22 at the mo in all conditions
  8. Big +1 on your findings 13k miles on GUNS now, Ultrac Sesstanas going on next week then in for its P2 service and getting a price for respraying the sills not only to address the numerous stone chips but also to get a better paint match. The paint shop used by Motorline Nisssan at Tunbridge Wells is apparently familiar with the self-healing paint process. Once sprayed I will then get the sills done in clear wrap Just a few chips on the front end - nothing as bad as I had with my previous 350 though. I was just looking at Ultrac's tonight! £189 was the cheapest I could find. Apparantly, excellent in the wet and dry
  9. My Patterdale kicked Nismo's ass And she's a girl
  10. On 11k, need new rears SOON! On the paintwork, the sills take a battering, near the rear, especially if it's raining heavily and there's a lot of grush on the road, just light marking, nothing too drastic. If you get a mint one with no marks on the sills, I would reccommend a clear wrap. The front end takes a battering as well, especially if you, like me, can't keep back from the vehicles in front No issues in just over a year of ownership, 6th can be a bit of a pain to get into if it's done at speed, takes subtlety, something I've not got
  11. That would probably be a more practical option. Might take you up on it! I quite like a wee spin up to Arrochar on occasion. I'll give ye a shout if I'm headed up! I'll be in that area for the next couple of weeks If you're up early evening, then we could meet up at The Village Inn for a spin failing that, we'll set up another meet up at some point
  12. As I am in your part of the world permenently , you can come listen to my Akro and Berk HFCs
  13. +1, consider HFC's as well, then the neighbours will really get the message when you go for it
  14. next on the list after my springs are fitted, more overtime Springs arived this am Alex
  15. Just get it done man I am, I am! Just the slight logistical problem of 900 mile round trip
  16. I take it that this was the full Evolution System? What was the results before and after remap/fitting?
  17. Yes mate, I'm lateshift all week BJW is from Motherwell and has an Ebisu 370 as well, the two are relatively easy to tell apart at a glance, I've my own plate and then there's my "distinctive" front and rear badge Your right though, not many 370's about up here, which is quite nice , makes me feel "special"
  18. You've seen it Vik Sorry never noticed you mate, I was in mongmode, on my way to work Nice to be spotted though
  19. I think they should have it out in the pits. I'd love to go a couple of rounds with Hamilton, shouldn't need it though, he'd bottle it before the start Just my opinion, I still think he's a prima donna, go Jenson, felt for ya today , I hope Webber wipes out his team mate, in a non fatal fashion
  20. Try changing the oil, for advice
  21. Erm, I have no idea who or where this trader is or if the damage that is apparent on your car is caused by "shoddy" workmanship or carelessness, but that is no way to return a car to anyone, regardless of whether it's a replica wing or not. If the "tradesman" who did this job was honest and upfront re the possible outcome to replace the wing, then fair enough, you take your chances, if not then it's a very dissapointing lack of respect, to you firstly. and then to himself for trying to pass this job on as acceptable. It's not acceptable to leave someone's car in this state, then try and charge a further £100 to rectify, that is just downright pis5 taking. As has been muted, if the "Trader" is reputable, then I'm sure he will put it right, if at fault. If not at fault his side of the story would be useful. Either way, there are aspects of this that would make me steer clear of this particular "Trader". I would not accept a job like this, nor sir, would I have paid upfront for a job, a deposit maybe, although I've never had to do this before on a small job, of this size. I sincerely hope that both parties come to an amicable solution
  22. Nice car Good luck with it, I'm sure it'll be fun
  23. Surprised at that, they cover my Akro, Hi Flo's and spacers, @ £90 extra! New docs that came through names the mods, strange that they said they wouldn't cover yours!?! A few years ago I was with Direct Line, they refused point blank to insure the Borla I had on my RX8
