  1. Have you noticed none of your pictures worked btw.
  2. Sorry to read things haven't gone to plan but these things happen unfortunately. Hope the wedding went well though and congrats.
  3. Yep Zombies are the next big threat I'm positive. I like where you're going but the G-Wagon would be a poor choice in a Zombie Apocalypse imo. I mean you'd only need to try to run over 10 or 12 Zombies at once and it'd probably ground the wagon to a halt. My FV150 Warrior however would not have such a problem ~ it weighs in at around 25ton, is a tracked vehicle, has a 30mm cannon for long distance Zombie destruction and can carry 10 people in all including the driver.
  4. As when I've done these "dream" lists in the past not all my vehicles would be cars necessarily because as Dan mentions some cars would just fill the same roll as others and it would be such a shame just having loads of cars sat there mainly unused. Got some new ideas since I last did a list so at the moment it would be something like this... McLaren F1 LM. 1970's Plymouth Cuda AAR. Ferrari F355. Bowler Wildcat (all terrain). FV150 Warrior Infantry Section Vehicle (basically a miniature tank ~ for if the world goes to sh*t or the Zombies attack ). Nissan R35 GTR (set up for track use). 1980's Porsche 911 Turbo. Dragster vehicle ~ maybe an old American muscle car set up for drag racing: Charger R/T or similar. BMW M5 (V10 ~ just as a long distance motorway cruiser). Nissan 370Z Nismo edition (because it would be nice to own & go to meets/shows with).
  5. Yep already series linked the show. Always look forward to watching this show.
  6. Yep sounds loud through the rubbish laptop speakers I've got so I'm guessing in person it's on another level.
  7. 50:50 I'd say. Chris probably thought it would be funny if he dropped one and quite possibly did it on purpose but I doubt the rest of them knew he was going to do it.

    New Ride

    Sadly not, although my wheels have already been refurbished so would've saved some money If I was in a different place right now I'd be very tempted by your Zed. Nicest one I think I've seen for sale for awhile.
  9. Not had a go on that but I have heard it's great, ...pity it's not available on the PS4 though otherwise I'd buy it.
  10. Amazing game, with a proper steering wheel & pedal set up it's next level. Seems unplayable with joypad. Maybe I need to play with the settings. I did briefly but it didn't inprove much. As far as I've seen it's a pretty hardcore sim so not something you could jump into arcade style. Perserve and I'm sure it will come together I haven't played Dirt Rally in ages as I got f***ed off with it, ...just not fun to play imo for a few reasons; When doing the timed rally stages the split time pops up and blocks your view for a brief few seconds usually just before a corner making you crash. Also the hill climbs are a nightmare with no co-driver calling the corners so you just have to repeatedly play it until you gather how fast you can actually push it around the bends. I'm using a PS4 controller so it might be a lot better with a proper steering wheel set up but I doubt it. I'm just hoping that the new GT game when it arrives (next year) will be awesome as I still haven't found a racing game I truly haven't got bored of or annoyed at yet.
  11. Car should be safe to drive until the new intercooler is fitted yes imo but it just won't be able to make as much power without the bigger intercooler helping to keep the inlet temperatures down. Not 100% sure but the standard one I'd imagine will be rated to a certain Bhp level so with the car mapped for the larger one then it won't be running to it's full potential I'd have thought. Probably better if you start asking some of your queries here nowhereboy: http://www.focusstoc.com/forums/ Just bound to know more than us lot on here about the ST's.

    New Ride

    Thought he'd bought yours for a split second. Can't believe it's not sold yet. Great looking Zed HRAB.
  13. Sorry I can't help Commander but if you're not a Gas Safe registered heating & plumbing engineer then this is not the sort of thing I'd mess with tbh. Personally I'd just get a professional in who knows what their doing. I know they can be expensive but not all of them are that bad, ...my best mate runs his own business doing just this and he's always fair with his pricing. Good luck anyway and hope you get it fixed.
  14. I'd take the mods as a bonus especially the clutch upgrade. Have you sorted out insurance though as you'll ideally have to tell them about all the mods, ...well if you want the car legally insured that is. I would.
  15. Going off your description Op I'd say the same as Dan in a private sale. if you're trading in then knock a grand or so off that as the dealers/traders will usually low ball. Personally if you do sell then I'd definitely be stripping off (going back to standard) as much as possible before you sell it especially so if you're trading in.
  16. Just Googled that out of interest, ....definitely expensive but I like that you can change the button mapping layouts from what I read. I'd probably buy it just for that feature if I had an Xbox1. @Fodder ~ I occasionally change my class too when I feel it's needed. Like I was playing TDM the other night and just kept dying when I was a Scout as the fire fights were just too close. Changed to the Support class and started to do much better.
  17. I used to have a Pioneer head unit and a stubby aerial (2" long) on my Zed & the reception was fine. Maybe check what Jetpilot has suggested above.
  18. ^^ Zed looks very good. Does the colour of the new bumper match okay in person as it looks a little brighter shade in the pic?
