  1. Only just spotted this thread, some really nice work on here mate, looking forward to future updates!
  2. I'm just pleased I own a car that's described as exotic. Now I'd just like a lady who's described as exotic...
  3. I think that's a 93 era PowerBook, I remember seeing these when I went to big school ('94) and being blown away! I owned one from about 95-99 but it was a newer model than that. I think my current iMac is more powerful than all the computers I've owned up to now, combined!
  4. Snake is the best one I found round there when I lived in Sheff. Sadly, it does attract a special kind of nobhead sometimes though, I've seen some crazy overtakes of three and four cars on tiny straights with dirty great blind corners at the end, where you're just waiting for the massive crunch. Usually a mid-range saloon driven by Mr. I Have To Get There 3 Minutes Sooner, Even If I Do Plough Into A Micra With A Family In It.
  5. Think how many jazz mags you'd have to stack in that 1993 photo to represent what can be stored on a 64gb smartphone.
  6. I'm trying to find the same (Blackpool area) not much. I had a look on here when I first joined and Chorley Nissan (several branches) seemed to get reasonable feedback (for dealers), not used them yet but the Blackpool one gave me some free plastic clips for my bumper! http://www.chorleynissan.co.uk/ Worth looking through here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/6183-dealership-praises-and-woes-now-inc-independants/page__hl__+nissan%20+chorley#entry78205
  7. I got pulled on holiday in Nevada at the end of last year, the copper was really polite and didn't give me the customary UK patronising patter, just had a word and sent me off on my way. So much more pleasant than any encounter I've had in the UK. Obviously I didn't give him any sh!t, he was packing a piece and he could have buried me in the desert! This isn't from my dash cam, but it's actually pretty close to how it went down.
  8. Has anyone contacted Mel Gibson about being King yet?
  9. Yeah, but as we would be responsible for our share of the nations debt we would also be entitled to our share of it's assets!! Have we got any left? I think Scotland's economy of oil, whiskey, beef and Glasgow, Edinburgh & Aberdeen is pretty promising. We don't make or export dick anymore on a large scale in England, and building an economy on the finance houses of London has worked out really well for the UK so far!
  10. I'm all over a 5/16 basic spacer if you wouldn't mind. Ta
  11. Fair play, if the oil's up there, it's Scotland's. Not quite sure how extracting the oil fits in with the relatively high profile green policies that Salmond has been peddling, but he's not the first politician to be a hypocrite, he won't be the last either. What I don't understand why Wales, England & NI don't get to vote too. The vote is to dissolve the union, it's all our union as much as it is Scotland's.
  12. I was really pleased with a plastidip spray, at first, but it's ultra fragile. I'm trying black satin spray next. From this To this
  13. Is it not a long exposure shot and some one wanders through with a bright torch?
  14. Defo zmanalex he just got me some similar type seal for the wing mirror surround, excellent service too.
  15. I had a nismo badge taken off the back from the previous owner for precisely this reason, but the nissan ones were coming off too when it was in for something else. I wouldn't hold it against anyone if they were falsely advertising though!
  16. Does anyone else think that the rolling news coverage of things like this, be it bomb terrorism or lunatic gunmen, just encourages these people? I'm not saying there should be censorship of press, but if the news media (be it print or video), simply covered the story but without video, without the endless repeats of footage and photos and eye witness accounts and never made public the name of the perpetrator and never trawled through his/her life details and whatever twisted motivation they dreamed up for something this horrific, doing it in the first place might seem pointless to some of them? If it stopped 1% of attacks it would be worth it. Blowing something or someone up is a sure fire way of (a) getting famous and (B )publicising some nutter cause. If they were never named and never talked about in detail the point of a "terror" attack would be minimised dramatically. That nut who dressed up as Batman and shot people in the cinema did all that for attention, why not take it away. Everyone knows, don't feed the trolls. Just saying...
  17. Having been strutless for a few days now I would certainly guess there's no way they could help pop it from closed. The sheer weight of the tailgate stunned me, but does explain why the boot never stayed open before! My rather fetching broomhandle prop gets some admiring looks at the golf course. Everyone wants a fully detachable, lightweight, eco friendly, solid wood boot strut now.
  18. Anyone used this company, Pure Detail in Preston? My paint is a bit shabby but not yet ready for a full re-spray, they seem to offer a pretty full job over 2-3 days from £400. Essentially a paint correction and 3 stage polish with other bits and pieces in between. Full details here: http://www.puredetail.co.uk/correct-refine-and-shine-detail/ Is this the right ball park price for this type service? Never had it done before.

    New Gear Knob

    Middle one's really cool. Nice balls all round TBF, usually located towards the base of the knob...

    I got an Evo-R burn titanium from Steve @ Redline, well pleased, much more comfortable than the OEM in IMHO. The Nismo CF is pretty damn tasty though. GL.
  21. I would just be happy with 5 minutes Twice? That includes the cigarette afterwards, too. ...and a pizza.
