  1. £600 is a good deal - just make sure it covers everything you need (ie any mods etc)
  2. That is pretty reasonable given you havent been on your own insurance. Try some of the specialists, I had this same problem a few years back and they gave me a couple of years bonus because I had driven my Zed, VX220 and Skyline under my wifes name.
  3. Feel like sharing? What the hammock or the missus?
  4. Dropping Alfie off with the parents then heading with the missus to a quite house we rented in Kent for the weekend to kick back, relax, read Banzai, drink beer - house has half a dozen hammocks in the large 2 acre garden to relax in...I will pick the one with the best sun angle.
  5. Sign up to detailingworld forum and get reading, start with the basics and work your way up, your desire for a good clean will find its natural point, I just invested in a DA polisher, I suspect it wont stop there...
  6. Mentally scarred to never post any mod on this forum again...
  7. Anyone noticed how some people just read memes on Facebook and then recycle without checking if its accurate? The BBC, as we all know is the mouthpiece of the Tories and: 14 hours ago: http://www.bbc.co.uk...ogs-eu-36205211 15 hours ago: http://www.bbc.co.uk...europe-36208781 Yesterday: http://www.bbc.co.uk...europe-36202490 Day before: http://www.bbc.co.uk...europe-36188558 4 days ago: http://www.bbc.co.uk...europe-36178582 4 days ago: http://www.bbc.co.uk...europe-36182511 And anyway, why use UK based news services these days? Russia Today, Al Jazeera and France24 are all much more even handed. I agree on media bias, I am really getting to the end of my tether with the Evening Standard and Metro running endless Interview with Zac and double page spreads and giving Sadiq Khan nothing - to the point its almost embarrassing how biased the reporting is.
  8. ...and as a side note the £350m figure is factually incorrect, the UK has never paid that to the EU. The Gross cost is that, but the rebate is applied before payment is made. But hey £350m sounds much better right
  9. The £350m is the basis of the argument to leave but unfortunately the economy doesn't work like that, there is no status quo if we leave, all other things do not remain constant and we do not suddenly pocket £xbn. For a start we will need to divert a significant proportion back into the industries that currently receive EU subsidies, our agriculture sector would collapse without these funds for instance, these are not small amounts. Then you have economic instability, which will pose a high risk to our growth levels whilst we work everything out which could take anywhere between 5-10 years - the instability will impact the capital available to the country but who knows what that will be. The above post (sorry Bradders!) is just simple propaganda nonsense.
  10. Can you imagine sitting at the lights, I bet some chav in a Corsa would fancy having a go as well Keyser, buy it!
  11. I have seen some odd numbers banded around on payments, from £30bn+ to something like the above. The crazy thing is that the Treasury publicly publishes the figure and net spend was for 2015 £8.5bn. The gross number is almost irelevant because as I understand it the rebate comes off before payment, so we never actually pay the gross figure. Somewhat ironically we talk about how well we have done and we are the fifth largest economy, but we have achieved that in Europe, thats a real mixed bag and to be honest I wouldnt have raised it as an Out campaigner. The 'shrinking economy' thing about 'shrinking' from 30 to 17 percent is if you take it at face value terrible, but just look at actual numbers and the EU has grown significantly since then, its just the rise of tiger economies in the 90s and BRIC more recently that have shifted the %s but it doesn't mean that the EU is shrinking, the language there is really poor. Law is a really hard one, I am no law expert but from what I understand you have UK legislation which has hardly any EU influence, and EU regulations that often pass through in trade - UK legislation has an EU impact of something like 10%, and even then thats just us literally showing them and saying 'we are doing this' and thats it. The regulation is what counts as thats something like 50% of trade regulation being dictated by the EU rolling this out to all member states. I read all this a few months back so can't remember the details, but interesting that the Out campaign do not actually mention that we already have the majority of legislation under our control, we are not 'taking that back' by any means because we already own it. I think the stronger leadership point in the In page is a bit weak, again somewhat ironically, it doesnt qualify any of the statements at all. If we 'have a seat' at the table I would want to know what exactly we have been doing over the last 10 years with that seat, why has it benefited us, give us examples? Trying not to sound like a bloody minded Stay campaigner but some of the numbers in that sheet and language used is enough to convince most people, but the facts behind it are quite different.

  13. I could be wrong, but is the Soft99 just filling though? So those fillers will just come out eventually? I would imagine its hard to actually correct deeper scratches in the paint by hand?
  14. Look at the shopping list, get a calculator and get googling Quite honestly, couldnt be assed Im shopping for 240z parts So I spent the last 2 hours working it out for you. It'll be around £50000234509234.23 (incl lab) plus VAT
  15. Its because most people who get qualified through very good universities go off and get £1m jobs with big corporations (and invariably make similar decisions on people as politicians do - how many bankers, CEOs etc get good press nowadays?). Plenty of decisions are made by politicians that benefit Britain, they are not going to kill the country off for the sake of it, it's their 'business' after all they are running, the press though will only report the things that go wrong. The issue is that they have to toe the party line, when they go against the whip, they will find themselves with the sack. How many people you know would risk being fired to 'voice an opinion'?
  16. I know...I just popped that post in there a bit randomly Just watching the sparing between Leave and Stay, somewhat ironically its now the Leave campaign that are leveraging 'Project Fear' - be interesting to see how it all pans out over the next couple of weeks.
  17. Its funny but generally politicians are reviled, but they are just people. I used to live in Putney two streets from Cleggs house, I remember one evening Rebecca and I out for a walk along the river then cutting across the park on the way back and noticing a couple walking towards us with a couple walking closely behind. Then noticed it was the Cleggs, they walked right past us and he was pretty much in tears, you could tell that behind the scenes the guy was probably breaking down under the stress (the couple behind were a couple of bodyguards!) - I am not saying they are all lovely people there are plenty of muppets amongst them who are power hungry, but they are all pretty much bound by what they can say, do, behave etc. I genuinely think Clegg was probably one of the good guys who got strung out keeping the tories in line. You only have to look at the headline on Sky News today, Cameron Climbdown - its always negative language even if they do something good. Thats not all a pop at you JP, you are right, you can hardly believe a politician as they are bound by the political line as to what to say - just don't think that they are all evil people.
  18. The proverbial car crash of a post if ever I have seen one from the OP perspective I think maybe start up a new thread on retrims...
  19. I think its clear that the finish is poor, OP any ts and cs on their site around getting it done to a good standard and returns. That said, if you feel its a great finish you are happy with it matters not what people think on here (although your post would indicate you were looking for opinions) and no need to challenge the company on quality.
  20. Good work fella...so, been out and stretched its legs now then!?
  21. Feel for you mate, have a key mark on the side of my car from some very sad individual who clearly felt their life is so inferior to mine that they had to do that. Wish I could just put an electric current through my car sometimes and electrocute the chavs doing this.
  22. So refreshing to see the big guns outgunned, I thought their recent wobbles were going to blow it but fair play for hanging in there - expecting Man City to come back with a wallop next season but lets enjoy this whilst we can.
  23. I have a HD one, but run it in 720 as mentioned above it will go through a 32gb card in no time at all. Still more than clear enough to pick up the necessaries should a collision occur.
