  1. They could teach Vauxhall a thing or two....
  2. Where's that mini-sick smilie when you need it....
  3. My gf's best friend is getting married out in Vegas in September, so we thought we'd use this as a chance to give ourselves a well earned fortnight away. We don't want to spend a full 2 weeks in Vegas, so we plan on spending 3 nights in NYC (no advice needed there, as we have both been many times), we then fly to Seattle for 3 nights before heading to Vegas for a week. I've been to Seattle myself when I was working deep sea, but only got to see the nearest bar to the port. Been on Trip Advisor, and reviews vary wildly, and my head hurts for reading them all. So, anyone here been and stayed? Recommend anywhere? Or hotels to avoid? Any help appreciated.
  4. There's no need for anti-personel mines
  5. We're waaaaaaaaaaay more tech savvy than that.......we just follow the trail of empty cans to find each other....
  6. Its deff not worth the effort on a Friday. I'll look at it later on when I get a chance, but I suggest we aim to get across and meet up with Jay and George for lunch. I'll ypdate the NE thread, and make sure Woody knows.
  7. Worked on her and her sister Estelle. I tell you what, it ain't fun dropping decks/ lashing decks on them when there is hardly any underdeck and mostly deck load on a 23-wide, Maersk cross-over lash & belly bar configuration, in the rain.... I've probably stood there watching you do it too Since when do you work at Felixstowe? I was cadet through to Chief Officer with Maersk working on their box boats. I've been into Felixstowe alot! I was the one checking your lashings and moaning when you hadn't done them tight enough
  8. The white is a pearlescent paint, which does all sorts of crazyness in the light when taking pics. My Zed sometimes looked like each panel was a diff shade depending on the light
  9. Im going to start on a sweepstake on what car I'll be in......I'll stick to the drinking. Choices so far are; VXR8 Pug 406 coupe Corsa (courtesy car I finally got last week) Megane (best mates)
  10. What he says ^ I got a parking fine from one of these muppet companies in January. I had a good read on Peppipoo, and found the company that was involved. I went through the whole process of receiving all the letters that Peppipoo told me I'd get. Including the "very final demand" which had dropped the aparant owed fine by £100 (clearly in the hope that I was so relieved they'd made a mistake and it was now less, I'd pay it) That letter was received 3 months ago. Not heard a thing since.
  11. +1 but we wouldn't be able to drink all day Am thinkin this could get pretty messy neil lol. Just aswell your hotel is near the site Must remember to pack my drinking trousers
  12. When did king kong become a universal unit of measurement!? When the Danish started to take over the world. I swear, Maersk are like the Borg
  13. Worked on her and her sister Estelle. I tell you what, it ain't fun dropping decks/ lashing decks on them when there is hardly any underdeck and mostly deck load on a 23-wide, Maersk cross-over lash & belly bar configuration, in the rain.... I've probably stood there watching you do it too
  14. How is that even possible? Nuclear powered
  15. Or check this out. http://www.worldslargestship.com/
  16. That tanker in the forground is only a wee one. Aircraft carries look huge becasue of their height/width. She's actually only 330m long. By comparison, Panamax container vessels are only 30m shorter than that, and the post panamax boats that have been in service for past 5 years are in excess of 360m long. Look at the chart on the right of this link for an idea of what I mean..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_maersk
  17. Dude.....remember how long I had my Zed for sale for? Even at £16k I couldnt shift it..... You may be in for a VERY long wait to sell for £10k
  18. welcome. How would anyone here know if it's HPI clear? Pay the money and get the check done yourself, and get an RAC inspection done for ease of mind. Also if its been serviced by dealers when in UK/NI, there will be a record on the Nissan Database.
  19. Spotted a silver one parked up in Micklegate York, opposite the Priory pub
  20. Bloody vultures circling already......*shakes head* Shame to see you're selling Jay, but totally understand why. Im looking forward to seeing it in the flesh at the Lakes next month.
  21. You need to upload a decent resolution pic to photobucket. I just had a quick look at your account there, and that is the size you have uploaded.
  22. 27mph is no good to anyone! It's all on hold at the moment anyway. Part-ex values are coming nowhere near what I want for the VXR8.
