  1. What else did it take off
  2. Me too! Its on that vid I linked above though to be fair, nothing wrong with imitation!
  3. I know it looks nothing like a porch
  4. Copper are fine also if you dont want to have to fork out night on £80 or whatever, they just don't last as long, the iridium has no performance gain over copper, just longevity.
  5. Good to hear, amazing how such a simple action can result in such a hellish path of resolution!
  6. Just astonished that the price offer from them varies week to week, bearing in mind they never actually looked at the car at any point, just automated follow up emails that valued the car differently each time...
  7. My neighbour is probably going to sell his Range Rover, stuck it on We Buy Any Car just to see what the value was and it came out at £13,500. He left it and a couple of weeks later got an email reminding him of his valuation and to go back and have a look. So he clicked it and WBAC had 'revalued' his car at £12,750. Thats a heck of a lot of depreciation over that time, anyway laughed it off. Got another email yesterday, again clicked it, its now up to £14,500!
  8. This is a good vid, you don't need sound either its all subtitled (so you dont have to listen to the daft music) only thing missing is priming the pad if its new...
  9. Working at home tomorrow, might have to go out and polish it again now!
  10. Finally! When you popping over for a spin? Sent from my XT1068 using Tapatalk When its not hammering it down with rain and hail!
  11. I was just winding you up, you noob It looks awesome, I am jealous, there I said it ok! Bar Steward! I'm so gullible... In terms of the polisher for reference I went with this although its now out of stock! http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/polishing-machines/das-6-dual-action-polisher/das-6-dual-action-polisher-menzerna-intro-kit/prod_721.html
  12. Right, downloaded the photo from my iPhone, put on PB, posted here...looks the same? Or and I going crazy, do your thing on it Husky! In terms of polish, I went in two stages, firstly this (Menzerna 3800) http://www.cleanyour...l/prod_218.html then this (Menzerna 2500) http://www.cleanyour...l/prod_574.html Used a medium (Yellow) pad on the first run and a soft (Black) pad second time around.
  13. Right going back to check you got me thinking now, I normally use snapseed to jazz up photos and that puts an _snapseed tag on it which this didnt...give me 2 mins whilst I get the original off my phone...I will be back!
  14. Ha! None at all, jealous?!
  15. Yes photoshop on car mag pics, none are straight off the memory card. Also anything parked inside which has been polished will look amazing under the lights. DA polisher for the win though will be much more effective than any hand polishing, brings out an amazing wet look - I used Menzerna polishes with Victoria concours wax. Spent about 45 mins on my bonnet to get the look below (which is not photoshopped!), as previous posts said, you can do this over a period of time a panel each week...
  16. I would imagine Chris would be less evasive and more cooperative in terms of resolving issues though
  17. How would anyone realistically know the outcome and alleviate your concerns without entering into negotiations about how we go forward, trade, etc etc and we are not going to enter negotiations due to the costs and time that may just not be worth it if the vote is to stay. Its a lot like a divorce really, if someone said, i want to know if i will be better off divorcing my wife and how much will it cost me, no one would be able to give you the answer, you will only know once you have done it. Its a fair comment, the detail they have gone to is that they will 'take control' which is the strap-line via Free Trade agreements but that's already at odds with any precedent set before it for countries like Norway or Switzerland. My question is, why will we be able to achieve both, is it based on the strength of our Financial sector? Will we take a hit on tariffs to ensure more 'control', what levers are being pulled to make this work. I guess thats the issue though, that for the majority of Joe Public just tossing out there that we are taking control of everything without anything to substantiate it is enough for many vote Leave people - why should they bother to post up anything to satisfy the minority of the UK that want to know what the actual plan is?
  18. I am finding insurance just a minefield now with all these stories, feel for you mate, it seems people do just lie and cheat their way through the system. We had the same thing with Asda, when their delivery guy smashed into our parked Focus and wrote it off, there were witnesses who confronted him and he took off. They left us a note and I contacted Asda who denied any delivery driver was in the area at the time it happened and that they wouldn't be covering it. Unfortunately for them the same driver had to deliver to one of the witnesses a week later and she took his name etc and said she would happily go to court to nail him. I contacted Asda who again couldn't be bothered, so I then put on Twitter @Asda what had happened and within 3 days they were paying out in full. It really is a joke how people just play the game to rip people off.
  19. I know, its hard to really delve into fact as its hidden behind so much political rhetoric. Having read both sites, both are going for the scare tactics approach as that clearly worked to a better degree in the Scottish referendum so its going to be even worse this time.
  20. more like #teamreacharound Stay on topic I *think* I am going to vote stay - still the Leave campaign are saying 'take control' but refuse to say of what... Isn't it obvious? Laws, Courts, Human rights, Trade, Environment, Borders, Democracy. Take your pick, or come up with your own. Do some research. It's pretty embarrassing to vote for the status quo and allow Brussels to think for you because you can't think for yourself. Think 10, 20 or 30 years ahead, what the In & Out campaigners say is 100% guff and irrelevance. Look at the EU performance now, where it's going, and how it's performed in the past. Engage critical thinking, come to a conclusion. Base your vote on that. Has anyone voting out read the official webpage? None of it actually says how and what they want control of. Borders, Environment etc none of this is mentioned, you have just listed out a list of things you 'want' to think you have control of without actually knowing what the Leave campaign have said they will take control of. How can you have a Free Trade Agreement whilst closing borders, that contradicts everything that Free Trade stands for and Free Trade (of which there are many types of different ways of doing this) is about the only thing they do mention that they want to instigate. Engage critical thinking is right, assuming that you can 'take control' of your list by exiting the EU is fundamentally incorrect, plenty of research to be done there my friend. Free trade does not equal open borders. You do not need one, to have the other. Where did you get such an notion? All Free trade is, is trade with no barriers. Tariffs or restrictions, etc. That doesn't mean you can go and live in the country your country happens to have a FTA with. And "Taking Control" if we left is exactly what the UK would get, there's no assumption involved. The UK leaves, the EU would no longer dictate any area of British Laws, Courts, Trade, etc. Who else would do it? I'm confused why you would be in any doubt. Who else would take control if we left the EU? And no, I haven't read the Out campaigns website or literature, nor the In campaign. I've lived in the EU, I've lived in an independant UK. I don't need In's & Out's "informing" me. All the information you need is out there. OK only going to respond once to this and leave it at that as I can see you have your mind set and thats fair enough - you have mentioned Free Trade, so I guess you are referring to the Norway/Swiss model of EU trade. If so, they are part of the European Economic Area, which means they have access to the single market which brings all the benefits of being in the EU without actually being part of it, that puts them outside of the Schengen area also - but - the Free Trade deal they negotiated means that EU citizens are allowed to come and live or work in those respective countries. Its not as completely fluid as being in the Schengen area of course but Norway cannot just 'take control' of their borders at any given time. This is the point I was trying to stress. The other model I presume the Out campaigners will look to is the Canadian model, which is actually probably more in line with how Out supporters see the UK as very distant from the EU with full border control etc. However the Canadian model is subject to tariffs and is not a fully functioning Free Trade model - this is the unknown, that if we go down this route the success of the trade deals will determine what financial impact the UK has to absorb and manage to ensure our continued growth. I don't by any means think the EU is a perfect solution, but, at the moment its better than what we have on the table from the Out campaign. As I said above, I am not going to vote just Out because of some sort of Braveheart style 'take back control' which quite frankly isn't going to happen in the way many people think it will happen, I need some convincing.
