  1. I always look forward to seeing your pics immy, interesting Mini Mac there - looks good.
  2. No it's not. Depending on the width of the wheels you're looking at, a +30 offset will mean the wheels wont stick out enough, and you could do with 15mm spacers on them. I think my wheels are +18 and +22 offset (could be wrong, cant remember). You want to be looking for something around this for them to look good. EDIT: Just re-read your post... i see what you mean now. You're half right! The offset is what would be affected by adding spacers, yes. But adding 30mm spacers will not result in a +30 offset.
  3. Not sure thats real... to me it seems like the video has been sped up and the graphics overlayed afterwards. Still looks very quick, i just dont believe it...
  4. Can't believe it's only been mentioned once... The absolute most important aesthetic mod is fitting spacers to push your wheels out to the edge of the arches. Sounds like a tiny thing, but it makes sooo much difference.
  5. Seems about par for the course. 'simple, but in a good way' was my favourite comment I think. Interesting that no one mentioned reliability, which I think is one of its greatest strengths.
  6. You know I love your rays, but if you're not happy with either then as Jak says, sell both and get something wider with better offsets.
  7. You wont find a better endorsement for a car than that... buy it now I know everyone's different but in my opinion it's worth paying that bit extra for a minter, despite the age. My zed is an 02 import but i paid an awful lot more than your average zed, given that its in MINT condition, and had 2 folders full of paperwork and a well documented history of ownership on here. I'd prefer a garage queen import that's done 3000 miles a year since new, and probably never seen a rainy day than an 80k miler thats been used to go to work every day.
  8. Welcome mate. Keep an eye out for car shows. There's a show at Castle Combe in May called Japfest and you can sign up and pay for a 15minute session on track there (be quick though, i think they're running out). Similarly, Japfest 2 is in July i think at Donnington, and they offer the same chance at track time. It's a really good, safe experience. Another option would be to look out for a Sprint day. You only do 1 lap at a time and then wait your turn for the next lap... not as much fun but easy on your car. I did one at Curborough and it was only £60 for the full day, and i got about 25 laps.
  9. Love them. They look great
  10. Yep, definitely audio learning in the car for the win.
  11. Forgot to update this... these sold a few weeks ago.
  12. www.mymemory.co.uk is a good place for memory cards. I recently got 2x 32gb class 10 memory cards for £38 (going via Quidco). Bargain.
  13. I'll keep my eye out for that Jim, im a big coffee fan
  14. +1 and that video prevents my from muting my sound too - so i have to listen to it all the way through - infuriating if i had it on full volume
  15. Hmmm me too. Mines been on the driveway since early December (I couldn't bring myself to drive it with my naff winter wheels on). Got my MOT booked for next week and will re tax it from 1st March - cant wait! I've been driving a 1.3 Mk 6 Fiesta instead so I'm expecting big things when I get it back
