What offsets are you after? Why not just use spacers?

Mine has a 10gb storage limit too - had the account for about eight-ten years I think? I have though been slowly transitioning to Imgur, quicker, less advertising, more reliable...just such a better platform in my view.

I admit I liked watching the specials, a few were a bit crap like the source of the Nile etc. but due to the nature of them i.e. you cannot account for all eventualities so spontaneous stuff will happen makes them so much more watchable than them pretending to ad-lib when we all know its highly scripted poorly acted.

And get a date/receipt for underseal, you don't want someone having driven it about in the UK for 5 winters who then sprays it on covering and potential tin rot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As above, ignore sales patter nonsense, check the facts of the car, check for everything that might indicate a problem - dont listen to stuff like that.

...looks like Rich's car is sold anyhow. Great car for the money there no surprise it went quickly.

Lower mileage is exactly what it says on the tin, its less miles on the engine etc. But if someone has ragged it for 30k miles vs someone who has done all the servicing correctly and driven it properly with 60k miles, you are pretty sure that the 60k miles car will run better and for longer than the other. That said, for some reason the UK market is a fickle one, for some reason we are obsessed with mileage (I lived in France for a while no one cared a jot about mileage) so lower mileage cars get a premium, even if they are dogs. 60k miles on a V6 GT car is nothing really, most of these will hit 100k and keep going (again the UK market seems to believe there is some hex that hits cars as soon as they hit 100k miles) - if you have no intention to sell this car soon, then go for condition, if you want to sell it on within a couple of years a low mileage car will help you sell in this market.

What do you mean custom built? I think a custom built one will cost half that, but with that budget you could just go for the tried and tested ones like Invidia/Milltek/Ark

Well done for going and looking and then walking away to mull it over. Have to say looking at this one (wrapped with who knows what underneath/rust/half a GT pack) vs Rich's car, Rich's car is such better value - for the extra 750 quid you get much improved braking, wheels worth around £1k more than the wheels on the other one, bushes done, lowered uprated springs, body upgrades, AEM induction (not cheap) plus the head unit upgrade - getting tonnes more stuff for your money. Must be worth looking at before making a decision?

Clay makes all the difference. The feel of the surface is such a step on. Get yourself a DA and do a proper detail it really does make all the difference and saves your arms! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There was a lot of this in the news recently, charities especially targeting older more vulnerable people to give up savings etc. There was an elderly lady who sold poppies who was hounded to her death. Report them to Ofcom with exact diaries of the calls you receive and the content.

Its not the will of the people, had Leave won by 90% to 10% I might agree with you, but you cannot roll up 16m people into such a phrase when you only had 17m with an opposite view. The Will of the People is a political slogan designed to confuse those that understand the data from the referendum the least. Anyway, to the point in hand, the vote itself was a vote to understand from those that would vote if they wanted to stay or go. At no point were any of use voting on the terms of the exit, it was either in or out, it was never the peoples decision to decide on what the terms of exit looks like. As above, I do not think Parliament should vote against leaving, but the idea of allowing May to dictate constitutional terms is fundamentally wrong in a democracy. This must be a parliamentary debate otherwise you are looking at something like a Putin regime. Boot on the other foot, if May wins the high court challenge, then goes with her terms that mean we still allow freedom of movement, that we have to pay to go into the single market, would you then accept that Parliament have no power to challenge her on that?

No Coldel, the parliament challenge was/is a cynical attempt to try and block Brexit by having the MP's vote against it, it has nothing to do with democracy. And the Law? the law is trying to block democracy. The people have decided what they want, and the minority are trying every trick they can think of to sabotage the will of the people by using Parliament, the Law, the media, and this bi-election to put the skids on. That's why Theresa May was/is trying to use Royal prerogative. If the Majority say Leave the EU, then the Courts have no say, and the Politicians have no say. If either one can stop the will of the people, then it's the system that's broken, definitely not Democracy. Democracy is parliament voting on issues. Democracy are the people voting in people to pass on their word in parliament. I agree we should brexit and trying to block it is ridiculous, however it is flying of the face of democracy to allow the the prime minister to dictate the terms of a constitutional change. That cannot be any more undemocratic.
-
The point of the vote is that parliament comes to a consensus on exit, it shouldn't be left to a single person to drive the policy decision. Thats kinda how democracy works. If the whole of the Tory party agreed with May then I could possibly see the point of the whip, but they don't and she risks party turmoil if she does when its already quite unstable. And a three line whip has been known to fail in the past, its no guarantee. I got to disagree with you Dan mate, its not fussing, its a genuine concern and why would you not express it? As for hard and fast, yes we need to get out as quickly as possible, but not to the detriment of our position - never saw a great business deal that went well that was rushed through.
-
I agree get it done, but do it right. The government have no plan, they hadn't even realised what they were attempting to do was actually illegal and are just bumbling about making a public mess of it. If they do nothing t do this right the EU negotiating team will chew them up and spit them out and we all end up in a bad place. Nothing wrong with protesting about that.

Worth noting...check your car is locked before walking away http://news.sky.com/story/hi-tech-car-theft-warning-to-drivers-at-m4-service-stations-10680370

And whats wrong with protesting? Just because 17m people said one thing and 16m said another, it doesn't mean the 16m cannot therefore have a view on what a proper Brexit means - they all still exist, are all still pro-UK despite all the over use of the Union Jack you see on Leave propoganda, and still care about our country. We are leaving we get that, but the manner in which we leave is open to ALL to debate we are not living in some communist society. When the Conservatives won the last election do Labour just stop pushing their view on how to run a country and just agree with everything the government says? The only dummies I have actually seen being spat are Leavers who seem to want to circumnavigate the very thing they voted for i.e. sovereign UK parliamentary voting on UK issues. Like it or not, you cannot change a constitution without abiding by the law of the land.

Who knows where Hamilton will be, remember he proper *annoyed Merc in the last race, how about he goes to Red Bull, Verstappen and Vettel to Merc

I never said motorsport would be, just that for the fun of it (and the original post was very tongue in cheek) stick all the drivers in the same spec kart made by the same company and send them out. Yes a few might break down but you would certainly see who the racers are.
-
The halfords ones are made exactly the same way as the expensive ones with the layering, just not as custom fit. They will though do the same job if you secure them properly. I had one on my VX220 for 6 months not a problem. Just make sure as ever not to allow crap to get under them as it will rub on the bodywork of the car and scratch it, your car should be clean and spotless before sticking it on.

Lib Dems were on a hiding to nothing in the coalition, they never really had any influence to make decisions, only to try and keep the Tories somewhat moderate. Its like anything when you are a 'deputy' you can advise but you do not make the decisions. My main concern about Heathrow was less about the noise and pollution but more about the increased vehicle traffic in the area, the M4 is a car park most days as it enters the burbs and the M25 is quite famous already for not handling the traffic in that area, the road network around the airport is shocking and the public transport services are either not up to the job or massively overpriced (Heathrow express!).
-
He was certainly playing a political game even though he was quoted as saying he wasn't. He just made a bad assumption around the feeling of brexit being less important than Heathrow. I actually went to a Lib Dem event the other night, Nick Clegg was there speaking with Sarah, she is actually not bad a public speaker for a relative newbie, she will most likely be eaten alive in Parliament unfortunately but Nick Clegg was a force of nature on stage, incredible speaker.
