  1. Just state in the add that you wont respond to low ball offers and then ignore them.
  2. That's what makes it ugly?!! That's what makes it ugly?!!
  3. I had those massive knee pads on my blue JDM Nismo kitted zed. I took them out and binned them on the day i bought the car. It was a ball ache of a job - had to take the door card off and then fill the holes with some rubber grommets.
  4. Called them, for fitting alone it is £1500. Seems quite reasonable.
  5. But is anyone going to remember that Nico didnt deserve it in years to come? No they're not, and history will always show this guy as a champion (unfortunately!). I honestly couldn't tell you of any other seasons where the champion didnt deserve it... i'm sure it's happened, but we quickly forget. Button perhaps?
  6. i'm not carrying anything mate. I was just citing another example of your demeanor when the Mustang gets criticised. ...That said, having just re-read your 'pop' - i think i can see your point now that you've said it was positive.
  7. G Man, whenever anybody says anything bad about the Mustang you get all defensive. Relax dude. For what it's worth i love the Mustang and will be owning one at some point, despite the 'average' experience i had in the one i rented on holiday - which you had a pop at me for when i dared to say it was anything less than perfect. AMT - I 100% understand what you're saying. I've always been of this mindset myself, hence the 16 year old 911 i had, as well as the 10 year old Range Rover Sport that im driving now - I've always bought the best car i can for the money, which is usually at the bottom of it's depreciation curve. Now i'm getting older and more sensible (33, lol) im starting to want something newer, more reliable. I cant be bothered getting the spanners out at the weekend to fix my cars anymore - i just want comfort and reliability - as well as the performance and prestige that having good cars has always brought me. This now puts me in a difficult position that i've got expensive tastes that i can't quite justify satisfying (i.e. i now want a new 911 and RRS, but i cant afford them )
  8. Checked for you. £40k loan 3 years £15k deposit £356/month Final payment of £15k Total APR 4.4% So actually with a big enough deposit you can get a monthly payment the same as 320d Car however cannot be more than 7 years old at the end of the term. Cheers! Been after this info for a while.
  9. Just finished watching it. Very happy with it... It's nice, no brain entertainment. I only noticed one swear word, when Hammond said 'Sh!t'. I was disappointed with the drivers they chose, both the american and D'ambrosio, although i did laugh at the american's jokes (communist!). Not sure of the relevance of D'ambrosio... i would have preferred a Mark Webber or similar. Happy to have the gang back on the box.
  10. If someone can tell me how to finance a purchase like this, i'd be very interested to know... On www.allcarleasing.co.uk you can get into a bmw 320d for around £325 per month. Is it possible to get Lease/PCP style finance on used cars such as the Aston example? I'm aware that Halifax offer PCP style finance, but you've got to be a customer to get a quote (I dont even want that - I just want to see some representative examples). http://www.halifax.co.uk/car-finance/compare/
  11. Sounds like an issue on your machine. I dont have this. As you say, run MBAM and it should clear it up.
  12. Think the worst i got according to the pod was 6mpg, driving at approx 145mph on the autobahn on the way to the 'ring. When i noticed this i slowed right down...!
  13. Playing Motorsport Manager on the iphone this week. Very addictive! I used to play Grand Prix Manager on the PC in the late 90's i think and it's very similar to that. Worth a look to fill a train journey at £1.99
  14. Nice work pal. Got the potential to look great!
  15. Has nobody else tried PSVR yet? I finally downloaded Batman for it last night. I'm 20 minutes and i'm blown away. I'm struggling to want to play non-VR games anymore. I've been on the PSVR subreddit quite a bit and everyone there is the same. 2d gaming is over for us! We just need everyone else to get on board so that it really takes off. Infinity Ward released a space shooter demo for it this week to coincide with the COD release. Only 5 mins long but it's class.
  16. Why not ditch the broken parts and use it to make some corner splitters like on P15ULT's old zed?
  17. Where are we seeing these deals? Cheapest i've found is on www.allcarleasing.co.uk for £350. Is there a better source for leasing / PCP deals?
  18. Ham Ves Ros Rosberg to start cracking under pressure.
  19. Ho. Lee. Sh1t. I picked up the Playstation VR today following yesterday's release - £350. Unboxed it this evening. The packaging tells you it's a high end piece of kit. Lots of high quality materials, and also lots of cables! So many cables to plug in. I actually had to read the instructions! Once plugged in you simply switch it on and bam! your playstation home screen is displayed as a giant screen about 10 feet away from you. Picture quality is reduced but acceptable, and the head tracking is perfect. The screen stays in the same place as you move your head round, just like being in the cinema. At this point i was very impressed... then i fired up the demo disc that came bundled with it. First think i load was Drive Club VR. It took a minute to load but i was simply blown away by just the loading screen / lobby. I looked down and saw the PS4 controller in my hands, and as i moved it around, it moved perfectly as if i was holding it. When the game loads you are kind of in a car show room. The 3D is breathtaking at this point and just ogling the cars is a joy. Pressing X to select a car and a track, you're then in your car behind the steering wheel. Again the 3D is stunning, and you have fake hands on the wheel. I'm using a controller as i dont have a PS4 steering wheel yet, but it doesnt distract too much from the immersion. It feels instantly natural, how have i played racing games this long without being able to look where i want to go?! The demo is over before you know it, and you get dumped back in the main menu. Next up i try the VR Worlds demo. It's basically a tech demo with 3-4 different scenarios in it. I've only played the scuba diving one so far but the sense of scale and height are just incredible. You're in a shark cage and descending a few hundred feet... Looking over the precipice of the under water cliff edge is fantastic. I didnt expect this level of immersion. Lastly i played Eve Valkyrie - a star-wars ish space shooter. You're a fighter pilot. Again the 3D is stunning and it just feels so natural. At this point i started to feel a little nauseaus. This is after about an hours' play which i guess is to be expected. However my wife had a go and was nearly puking with motion sickness inside 1 minute, so maybe people are affected in different ways. Apparently it's capable of playing 360 degree videos of which there are hundreds on youtube. I'm gonna install the youtube app and give that a go next. Maybe before our next holiday i might buy a 360 degree camera and relive my holiday memories in person! Overall verdict so far - i'm seriously impressed - this feels like a ground breaking, watershed moment in technology. I really hope this takes off and the way we consume movies/entertainment is changed forever.
  20. yeah and i think Batman's only £15 as it takes about 90 mins to play. I mostly want Drive Club. Need to get myself a PS4 wheel as the Thrustmaster TX is XBOX only.
  21. Yeah, i've been keeping on top of things on a daily basis. I'm not buying any of the launch titles. It comes with a demo disk which will do for day one, and i've got all the VR games on my rental list from Boomerang, so i'll try before i buy anything.
  22. I've pre-ordered a Playstation VR for release day next week. I'm a bit concerned by the slightly lower specs than the PC rivals, but it's so much more accessible in terms of price - especially as i don't have a gaming PC already!
