Sort of... The fact certain MPs stood on a party manifesto and are now backing away for it and arguing that we should have a "peoples" vote (which they can't actually spell out what the question would be) whilst simultaneously saying they don't need to stand at a by-election despite radically changing their views somewhat complicates things.

To raise an issue and say hey look we want to get started but we really need to work this bit through. Instead they all lept on board and now a laod of them are trying to pretend they never actually voted to leave. Assuming the issue of being stuck in a horrid limbo is resolved and assuming the transition is purely temporary then I guess the WA is largely acceptable although again it's trusting a bunch of people who seem untrust worthy!

Last time I checked NI was exactly where it is now at the start of the process, so what's changed? Or are you saying 80% of the HOC voted in favour of enacting a piece of legislation without understanding the issues it may cause or encounter?

I disagree at the highest level, what is happening is a slow concerted effort to make sure that things are more difficult than they need to be that things are as unattractive as possible. Nobody said or thought it would be easy but it is not this hard. Most MPs are pro remain, heavily in fact. How do you balance the fact the majority voted to enact A50 with no deal being the default and yet suddenly no deal is now something impossible and terrible. If that was true then why pass A50 in the first place? Like many other roles in life it's just a job, and any chance to look like your "working hard" is great until you realise your actually going to displease people and may get voted out or have to do something you disagree with. My big issue is many of us have to do "hard things" in our jobs. I do, I often have to do things I disagree with and know will cause me problems later. I can make my argument but I'm not the guy who casts the deciding vote. I then have to get on and do said thing, I can't then make a hash of it and claim that it's impossible or we should change our mind because I've deliberately thrown roadblocks into the process, I'd be fired for gross misconduct within a week. Why are Mp's so different?

It's not whether Farage and UKIP would be still banging a drum it's the fact nobody would listen to that drum, they'd be banging outside the window in the street. What we have now is the otherway round where the established parties and people running the company are banging the drum in the living room and dictating the policy. If Leave had lost they couldn't construct laws or situations which put that loosing argument into practise. I 100% support anyone who says their view is to remain in the EU, but it's surely a massive issue if the people in power are going to actively thwart the outcome, it shines a light that starts to show we've only every actually voted in line with what the people in power wanted. Democracy and fairness only works when the people implementing it agree with it. That's great if your view always aligns with that but one day it won't and you'll be feeling the same way, that nobody ever actually cared about your voice you just happened to be thinking along the same lines as the people in power. Put it another way if we had stayed, and a million Leavers marched on Westminster, would Tusk be standing up demanding we listened to those views and bore them in mind, would he be arguing that although we voted to stay really it was a close run thing and we should be looking to leave a little bit to respect those views? Of course not so it's 100% about self interest. That's not what I want from a fair and even society. I want the same weight of opinion and the same respect of views and the same standards to be enacted on both sides by whoever was in power. If we do leave and we have a leave heavy parliment who offered a referendum on rejoining and that won 52 to 48 or according to whatever rules I would want that parliment to enact the result regardless of their own personal views even if the result was counter to mine.

And this is the route of the issue I think everyone from both sides can agree call me Dave was a plot let for setting up the vote. You can't ask a group of people what they want, tell them it will be respected and then Weasley out of it later. The same way if you voted Leave the fact Tusk stood up and said the marchers for remain had to be listened to as did the 48% who voted remain, everyone knows that had the numbers been the other way round nobody would be standing up for the leave voters. Putting either side aside and ignoring the arguements and the subject matter it just doesn't seem equal. Whatever happens which ever way round it should work for whichever side won. If the process and response is different then the system isn't balanced.

These things are great for anyone wondering, very easy to fit, gets rid of the horrid hanging plastic rubbish that tears and drags on the ground. Makes everything nicer, stiffer and less likely to be damaged

The McLaren would often not be the best car by quite a margin and he'd do something special. I think his skills extend beyond the car he seems able to build a team around himself and always work towards a goal. Alonso also had plenty of talent but didn't seem to do so well with the team aspect.
-
Neat owning something rare is always fun, the other car I own there's 13 of that model in the UK but none with exactly the same spec list the red 350z is pretty rare too I've only ever seen 2 others in my life in the flesh and 7 years of ownership. The more I looked at that stagea the more it grows on me! Nice choice

Apart from the lumps under the lights it doesn't seem that bad!
-
My regular garage told me mine just scraped by this year they get it roasting hot. The HFCS are 7 years old now so not sure if that's the issue or perhaps some oil in the exhaust? So might well be in a similar position soon
-
Always wanted to try. I assume just need to find some lights and wire them in, can't be too hard the trick will be finding some lights with the same curvature as the mirrors.
-
There should be a thin bit of wire along the socket which is what makes the ball "pop" into the socket and retains it, make sure this is present, fitted and not bent/loose
-
Mine's started flashing again (this time while driving) it's now doing it once a month or so, I can reset it fine but I'm guessing at this rate there's a genuine fault that needs addressing. What's the usual causes?
-
When you say they took the top off the noise do you still get all the "detail" I have berk hfcs and invidia gemini exhaust and I love all the little (natural) crackle and pops it generates but I dislike the drone when driving which often hides them at higher speeds inside the car.
-
Heh, I had to look that up! Are they common? I can't recall ever seeing one before.
-
That would be me I think! It's a 380rs spoiler (or copy)

Don't be put off by things like this there's no "skill" required it's following a process. Nothings hidden and there's no special knowledge required just follow the steps and don't drop anything inside your engine :P

DAB+ reception with original antenna/amplifier?
MDMetal replied to s13-200sx's topic in I.C.E & Electronics
My GPS antenna sits above the rear view mirror, I took the A pillar and passenger dash off and put it up and through the headlining, looks 100% stock Just do it properly and it will look proper! -
quote a few guides on youtube. I've got mine to do and this video seems like a complete walkthrough...

What an idiot, what's cool or clever about this? The only thing your showing off is your own idiocy. If you race a car in a street it's just a competition to show who has less regard for anyone but themselves.

Help: Footwell Lighting to come on with Headlights
MDMetal replied to davidv10's topic in I.C.E & Electronics
None of this is tricky but you do need a multi-meter and to do it properly, seal any new joints you make and not leave wires dangling, you obviously have to be OK with removing bits of trim etc. Think carefully about an existing circuit that meets all your condition and use that so your logic is all sorted. -
