  1. Perhaps, but the Ukraine is a huge area and they only have so many satellites in the sky. I would suggest that if they did catch it, it would have been more by luck than judgement. If I was the leader of either pro-Russian or pro-Ukraine forces, I think I'd be 'accidentally' broadcasting to my troops over open airwaves that I saw the other side shoot down a plane. Just sayin'. Totally, could well be a tragic accident, but will never be thought of as one because of where and when it's happened. Firing a missile at a plane and shooting it down can never be explained away as an accident Paddy..!! :scare: I've not caught up with the most recent news, but has it been categorically been proven that it was shot down? I'm not trying to be controversial, I just tend not to believe the media hype and speculation around incidents like this. Anyway, however it happened, R.I.P. to the poor people on board!

  3. Horrible, but waaaay too much speculation on what happened from people who know nothing about planes, rockets or missiles. As Dan said, if it was shot down we'll never know the truth!
  4. Isn't a Vette less than 500 bhp and no way 9/10 fuel economy? I could be horribly wrong of course! Edit: Z06 is 505 bhp but my fuel efficiency comment still stands!
  5. Mpg on a run 9? Is that out of 10 or just 9 mpg? 9/10 mpg would have to be a diesel or hybrid surely? BMW M5?
  6. Always put the start date to 30 days. I've never seen a site which doesn't let you change the date when purchasing!
  7. Not true Paddy, they are made in the Nissan factory with Nissan quality control. Fair enough, I did not know that!
  8. Probably fake, but also probably made in the same factory in China. Don't think that the genuine Nismo are hand crafted in Japan from melted samurai swords... just priced like they are!
  9. Yes, finally! Got the day off tomorrow so going out for a spin.
  10. Looking nice matey! Always wondered what the HR looked like naked.
  11. I can't believe you've sold up! These intakes are awesome... great sound and look good too! GLWTS.
  12. Usually will work out cheaper. Quick maths to help as a guide: Price + shipping in $ x 0.6 × 1.23 So $300 x 0.6 = roughly £180 × 1.23 = £221 price in Sterling with VAT and Import Duty added. Some shipping companies may add an administration fee too.
  13. I saw an Azure which I really liked with Alzean, but it had sold before I went to see it. Orange and blue is a good combo, granted not to everyone's taste, but the colours do go together.
  14. Watching this with interest! Would love a 240z and have been thinking that this might be my next move in a few years... Unless the prices skyrocket.
  15. How do you operate the stereo? iPad mini looks cool, but I think an iPad would be too big.
  16. I think we need to employ you as CMS purchasing department manager Did they actually send it to you? arrived today brand new in the box, still sealed in its wrapper and a lifetime warranty ! going to fit it this weekend so will know then if i need this kit. probably will as theres no room in there especially with the intercooler pipe there That's an awesome purchase. Even if it doesn't fit I wager you'd get your money back if you re-listed it!
  17. That is awesome, ordered. As a Liverpool fan this will be something to remember him now that he's gone to Barca!
  18. I've only been to 2 Wales, so isn't tired from my perspective but can see why it might to other members. Would be OK with it being 2 yearly as long as it is replaced with something equally awesome! Massive thanks to the team for thinking of us and trying to keep things fresh!
  19. Both are made from fibreglass (FRP) so I highly doubt there is much difference. Fitment could be an issue as well for either. Unless someone has experience of either, the cheaper one is probably as good a bet as the more expensive.
  20. Nice work Dave, good skills! Have you now done more to the Jag than your Zed?
  21. Just had a quick read and apparently it needs to be that fat for handling and aerodynamics. Even the designer says that's the way it was engineered.
