  1. Cheers mate, that means a lot to me coming from a pro. Strictly amateur hour over here though, I have a lot of respect for anyone like yourself who does this for a profession as I'm fairly sure it's not something I could do for a living. I thought you worked in one of those hand wash specials joints with one big bucket for all the cars, one giant sponge and giant vat of t-cut
  2. After a horrorshow Travelodge last night, finally got an acceptable hotel booked through work. Looked a bit stuffy until I parked the Zed out front.
  3. Can't see the itemised bill anywhere on here Post it up. Any additional work should involve a 2 minute phone call first.
  4. Used these http://www.thecanvasprintstudio.co.uk Quality is good and they've not faded or gone in any way weird in 2 years.
  5. I'm a contractor and my rates are daily, some contracts define what 'a day' is and some don't. I generally keep a track of my hours and if they drift over a 40 hr week once or twice, it's usually swings and roundabouts and I'll get an hour back here and there - all very grown up and fair. Sounds like your client is being a dick and I'm sure if you had had to put in a few extra hours they wouldn't be volunteering @*!# all extra for those hours. Sadly all you can do is suck it up and never do any work for them again. Some people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
  6. A 34" version sounds spot on. What's the native res?
  7. Wow, this guy is my hero. What's the American for bell end?
  8. Once you pop the keys in the ignition and turn her over the alarm goes off. Then proceed as normal. Nice to try the bus every now and again for variety though
  9. I don't want to sound patronising but have you checked your graphics card supports the slightly freaky 2560 x1080 resolution? It'd be a shame if it didn't support that width. The dual link looks cool but I can't help feel you'd be better off with two 16:9s and you can angle them slightly inward for added comfort. If you go for it, it'd be cool to hear how you get on with it. Edit: I just checked the native resolution on my 27" iMac (no clever retina scaling). It is 2560x1440 which is obviously a more conventional aspect ratio. I find that a bit small for things like menu and toolbar text, so I actually pull the resolution back to 1920x1080 for normal use, the 1080 height is just about perfect for me working at a distance where I can see the whole screen comfortably without hunting around it with my eyes. This works well for having two documents open wide by side at readable viewing %. I can see the attraction now of having and extra 640 pixels width of the LG, but I don't think it would allow you to squeeze a third document alongside at a sensible viewing %. I also just saw how good value these monitors are compared to buying two decent 23" displays. 5k display 27" iMac not under consideration?
  10. I was wrong, do it and hold the dice and covers - these two look FIT
  11. Whatever happens, don't let Dan see them tyres. £50 a corner? I spent more than that on wax in the last year. MPSS all round would probably fix the wiper issues too
  12. I suppose they're all much of a muchness at that price, until you get up to the 9 ink A3 pro printers. I just wish they'd make a dedicated photo printer at a reasonable price without all the other extraneous stuff they add on which I dont need. Check out the PC Pro A List and reviews, they're usually pretty good, but they don't always have a review of the latest printers.
  13. I recently picked up one of the Pixma's for light home and office use. Looks quite sexy, does edge to edge photo printing, decent speeds on monocrome, double sided printing, ethernet and wifi and airprint (i.e. print direct from ipad or iphone). It doesn't mind getting through ink, but the quality is good with 6 or so inks you only change the ones you are caning. There's also a dedicated big black tank for text printing. It was easy to setup, the touchscreen is passable, I think you can print remotely over the web (not tried it yet) scanning and copying are a bonus too. Really like it and it's not given me any aggro so far. The downside, it takes a while to warm up from off and it's quite noisy on full chat. There's a chunk of bloatware that comes with it, but you can strip most of it off. http://www.printerland.co.uk/Canon-Pixma-MG7150-P132832.aspx
  14. Brickyard and Interlagos are both fit as but surely it's Midnight Purple if you could pick anything?? Don't do the destroying the handling thing though
  15. South Yorkshire, Sheffield. Not just the home of Football and not just a place, it's a state of mind There's Dirty Leeds just up the road for a big night out, York round the corner if you fancy something reet posh, Manchester's over the hill if you get your injections first, and you got the Peak District all round, not to mention the UKs best tasting tap water. South Yorkshire has got the lot I tell thee! Saddest day of my life when I had to move to Lancashire
  16. I say do it, and don't forget the fluffy dice and leopard print seat covers Seriously though, go with what you like, you'll see here much more than us
  17. How come you're not getting along with the 6 speed?
  18. Isn't fixing stuff for free against forum rules? Surely any kind of issue is an excuse for a mod/upgrade?
  19. Go OEM+ so sort of silvery but a bit different, leave the door handles alone, they look great.
  20. I think I used this one when I did my reverse camera install. Though I don't recall removing the tail lights. http://www.350z-tech.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rear_Bumper_Removal Get your brown pants on for pulling the clips off, I was sure mine was going to snap
