Had a comedy moment with a woman driver through Limehouse tunnel, she pulled up in the wrong lane inside me next to me before the tunnel, I took off and she booted it but ended up behind me, but I hit 30 and just cruised she flicked a finger at me as she passed on the inside and a camera flashed her doing 40+ ...we pulled up at some more lights, same thing further along and she is clearly fuming, I took off up to 30 she did the same thing, wrong lane undertaking me and wound down the window and swore at me then booted it and hit another camera. Was absolutely chuffing myself laughing!

Somewhat sceptical that the company that sponsored the research just happened to win, they probably wouldnt have paid for it if they didnt know already their product was the best of those tested...

Yes Mark and Abbey are on here, they could say yes or no whether it has an uprev on it but its irrelevant really given that it will have never given the car 100bhp extra unless it had a turbo or supercharger attached to it So has anyone asked for the dyno print out yet?

Ask for Will at TGM in Fleet, again a fair distance but they do fantastic work, and you can have a nose around the motorsport cars they run when you drop the car off I would also factor in costs for 'fitting' the bodykits, very few it seems fit perfectly and require some element of work to reshape to the car.

thermal throttle bloody spacer A huge list of mostly standard/run of the mill or £5 ebay parts. A genuinely terrible advert, totally misleading and out and out blatant lies.

My elderly neighbour had a problem with a tap, plumber guy came over, took 2 mins to fix but prior to that she had no running hot water downstairs. Didn't charge her. There are some really good hearted tradesmen out there, worth keeping tabs on them!

Slightly off piste question, but my neighbour owns a Range Rover Sport (yes I know, I know) which this week started eating its own diff and had the rear suspension start to fail with leaks etc. Took it to a dealership who quoted him £5k to fix both - as you might imagine he is looking at alternative indy's that might be able to do the job. If anyone knows of a good indy near TW10 Richmond he could grab a quote off could you let me know. Ta Col

Awesome Chris! Yes GMB thinking back to the 90s and late 80s the career advice (and availability of information) was so retarded compared to now. I loved astrology and dinosaurs as a kid (who didnt!) at age of 8 or something knew at least hundreds names of dinosaurs, in latin as well etc! But I had a natural knack for numbers so of course teachers 'guided me' to do something mathematical. Right now, I hate numbers

Website has been around for donkeys years so not as if its a dodgy start-up or something. What excuses they fobbing you off with? Could you just cancel the order and get the same part somewhere else?

There will be a sudden push to convert everyone to V8! Well done Ian mate!

Love these threads, quite a lot of useful contacts to have I do cast envious eyes across at other peoples jobs especially engineering etc, I ended up as a sales and operations director of market research for a global loyalty company. Prior to that stints in teaching, cleaning cars and spending 4 years also flipping dem burgers at McDonalds to pay for my uni fees back in the 90s

If they caught him they MUST name and shame!

Stick it on driftworks if you havent already Didnt realise you killed it!

Trader every time - they will be of no end of help, whereas ebay could well end up being no end of pain. The likes of Tarmac and CS etc on here have great reputations for a very good reason. If you still have the cat in place emissions should be fine.

When I went in teaching for a short time I was told when I joined that I had to pick a union and join it - non negotiable. For the exact reason above, that you get all your legal expenses covered in the case of any incident. No one was advised to join purely on the premise of sticking up for workers rights, although there was an issue that they all got hot under the collar about at the time around pensions.

...and its over the weekend - I wonder if this is a reflection that they must know in this instance they would be called up on it by the general public if they did it in the week with a much wider audience hit and having to explain the stupid reason as to why its happening.

Militant trade unions that order a strike regardless of the views of their own members, appeals panels and the law. 299 vs 221 is hardly a sweeping majority and with only 42% turning out - a driver is breathalised and failed it, union says the breathaliser wasnt calibrated for people with diabetes but turns out the guy had a second test which also failed him (which takes into account people with diabetes who can return a false +ve on the test). The union says that LU are peddling misinformation about the case but fail to say what it is and the reason for striking. Really is ridiculous, 'sometimes' you can sympathise with the reasoning when it concerns safety and them standing up to changes but in this case cannot see why they have any grounds to legally call a strike when someone commits gross misconduct, get sacked as LU were well within their rights to do, put the persons appeal through all the processes and independent appeals panel which shows he is still sacked and still they can call a strike...it astonishes me that this is still allowed in modern society. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-31691324 The mind boggles, it really does.

But surely the extra cc's and bhp was? I agree though there isnt enough between the two cars that a lack of driver skill wouldn't negate.

Generally be wary of things called XXXX-style or XXXX-design they are rubbish fitting cheap copies that will cost you more than the cost of the genuine article to fit!

Coldel used to be the resident eBay trawler and finding goodies for us. Haha! Hence the name in my profile!

Cant believe the end of the second video - surely you would cut that out, maybe a dealer that is far too honest if there is such a thing!

I meant flower

I guess that proves where you are though, not where your car was?
