  1. Makes you feel bad when you sweat the small stuff,
  2. I think there is supposed to be an acceptable demarcation between n***a and n***er. One being a colloquial greeting and the other an offensive racial slur.
  3. The way I I look at it's this .......the world is chock full of arseholes.......colour has little to do with it. In terms of what Clarkson said.......well my 54 year old absolutely non racist mother said to me the other day 'it's sort of a n***** brown colour' I nearly choked on my tea but apparently that's just what it used to be called years ago - she didn't mean anything racist by it but it blurted out non the less. Yeah, but (and I'm guessing here) your Mum isn't a world famous TV presenter with 30 years of media training? You know who Anneka Rice is don't you?
  4. Didn't like it the first time if I'm honest but great job second time around looks a lot more depth in the paint

  6. Rays are lighter so you could do a wheel and performance mod all in one
  7. Just chucked a merc interior with a load of decent soundproofing. Bugger
  8. The bite is very high on a 350 anyway.
  9. If you've got an induction kit and duct the nostril to the head of the induction kit I think they do. Graham did it at one time I think Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
  10. Most people have used a Dremmel to cut it out I think. Gives better control.

    Good guy

    What a leg-end!
  12. WTF! That exhaust looks like it was welded by a blind otter Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
  13. I will be devil's advocate on this.......the engine may be bulletproof (although we've seen a few threads with some going pop) however you've got to bear in mind that the other stuff gets worn out just like anything else. A clutch is just under a grand. The rubber is 500 for middle of the road Brakes all round is gonna run about £300 Drop links, suspension arms, andthing with a rubber bush, shocks, brake lines, fans, radiators. Not being the Angel of Doom but go into it with your eyes and wallet open. Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
  14. Happy birthday chaps. Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
  15. Did someone say clean?!
  16. Hide in the Ringed Lemur compound at the zoo! You can kip there. Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
  17. I'm trying to think if I can help out here but the distance is making it a little tricky......im wondering if we can combine your detail with a repair and sort you out with a courtesy car for a few days. If we were really careful on the timing I could prob get it in, done by my bloke (ooo errr) and back out to me the next day for the detail before Wales weekend if you and the missus fancy spending an extra day in Chester. Drop me a PM if you want me to get a price off him (i can't see him charging over £150). No pressure as it's a potential arse-ache for both of us but I'm happy to help Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
  18. Nope. I'll answer the inevitable question though.......the little bolt can be removed as it's only there to stop you accidentally fitting front to rear and vice versa......if you haven't spotted the bolt already you will when you come to do the job! Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
  19. I actually didn't say poorboyd natural but now you mention it that's really good stuff too.......comparable to the Met but it's a creme rather than liquid. The trim restorer is awesome for tired looking plastics (ie don't do the whole interior with it) Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
  20. I wouldn't use a mobile guy for that but I know a guy who's a small repaired working out of a unit who'll do it for around £150 so I reckon you should find something comparable in your neck of the woods. Azure is a bugger to match though. Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
  21. 2nd thread in a week! For me it's Poorboys trim restorer if it's in need of a revitalise and Mer interior cleaner for general use. Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
  22. One ugly ass motor that is mate

    Advice

    About 31mpg, keep it! How the hell do you get 31 mpg ??? Not using 1st at lights and upshifting at 1500rpm gets me 23mpg? 31MPG over 1700 miles around Europe - and that was with a very spirited drive or 2 down the autobahn.
