'Derailed' is a good one. Clive Owen and Jennifer Aniston. Well worth a watch.

I know... i'm just itching to get myself another car. Gonna have to wait until next year though until my finances recover from the move.

Brilliant. Yes mate when things have settled down a bit i'll give you a shout.

Ha ha, cheers mate. On the garage, above the doors there are just 3 courses of bricks, single width. The roof joists are resting on top of these. The whole garage is just a single width of bricks, and the doors go right to the edge of the garage, so any steel will need to completely span the full width of the garage, which im not sure will be possible. The garage isnt integral though, so i guess i've got that going for me.

Okay couple of minor updates... Firstly in the shooting range... i picked up a couple of 'props' to give it a military/comedy feel (as in, look at this crazy guy with all this stuff in the loft) I got some camo-net and an ammo box. I need to nail the camo net to the roof yet and pickup a couple of sandbags before it's finished. Moving on, last night i was in my garage until 2am giving it a tidy, whilst smoking a big fat cigar, having a few glasses of red, and listening to an audiobook. I had a great time!! The space is amazing... plans are to fit some kitchen units along one of the walls for storage so i can hide all the crap thats out on shelves. One problem ii do have though (not pictured) is that it has 2x single garage doors, with a brick pillar between them. This makes it really difficult to get a car into the garage to work on... so i need to consider having the pillar removed and a single door fitted but i'm sure that'll cost a fair wedge. One for next year i think. So really happy with the feel of the garage... it's just missing one key thing - A CAR!! The plan is to pickup an rwd track car at some point early next year, hopefully.

Sweet - not heard of it but downloading it now.

Awesome!! I'd love to go. Great quote too Good choice - you wont be disappointed.

Awesome idea for a topic!! @SuperStu - Brick was the first film i thought of as a hidden gem. Some from me... Comedy: Super Troopers Kingpin Swingers Gritty: This Is England (and the subsequent TV series') Dead Man's Shoes (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419677/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_28) Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels Snatch Layer Cake Revolver Shooters (very grim movie about scouse gangsters. Worth a watch http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328420/) Warrior (Tom Hardy - awesome)

Chin up mate. Take a step back, and revisit it in a week or two when you've got a bit more patience. Looks a cracking job over 80% of the car, so you know you've got it in you to make it 100%.

This should be what you need... http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/16052-faq-jdm-interior-fuse-box-translation/

Wow, that's a masterpiece!! Where did you get the template from, or is it your own design?

Yeah post some pics up! These arent airsoft, they're 4.5mm metal bb's. Definitely penetrate the skin so you dont want to be shooting anyone! I've never done any airsoft skirmishing but i'd like to.

I built my own cabinet from scratch a few years ago. Not seen any pi based cabinets. Build thread: http://www.350z-uk.c...lmost-finished/ Finished article (i've added more artwork since then). I used a great piece of software called Maximus Arcade, which is a front end to all the individual emulators. Works great.

So i've still got some more to do on the range first. I'm going to get some military webbing and a couple of sandbags, and some ammo crates etc so that when you open the door it's like a real themed room. Utterly pointless other than to look cool. I'm also going to be hiding this room behind a secret bookcase hidden door, complete with a book lever handle! I've read a few DIY's and they're a pretty easy build. Garage i have lots of plans for. But all in good time there. I sure did mate. I've been wanting to send you a message about it since i moved in, but wanted to wait to see if it actually worked first!! Not sure whats up with youtube... maybe it's because its only just uploaded.

...Sorry for the pics in the wrong orientation - photobucket is not behaving.

So my wife and i recently purchased our first house. We've been renting for 8 years but we are now very happy home owners. Sarnie played a huge part in this by securing us a great mortgage which beat anything else i could find - thanks mate if you're reading. Anyway - the house... it's amazing. It's pretty huge (to us), with 5 bedrooms and a double garage. We dont have kids so all rooms are for us to use as we please! So far i've got an office and i'm building a retro-games lounge / man cave. I'll add pics of that to this thread once it's in a bit better shape! Anyway onto today's build - on the top floor of the house there is a small doorway into the eaves, where we have approx a 13m long passageway that's been boarded and has power. Rather than fill it with crap i decided to make good use of it, for one of my hobbies. I started out with these bits ...and this space ...and fitted them like this ... to make one of these - a Target Retrieval System! I collect CO2 pistols/rifles and usually do a bit of target practice in my garage, but i thought this made more sense. ... okay it's not motorised yet but it will be soon. For now it's a manual job to wind the target back and forth, but it's a start! I've bought a big piece of foam to catch the bb's which you can see at the end of the range. Works really well. Here's what i was shooting with.

On the import auto model there is a Sport/Snow mode button next to the heated seat switches, so it could just be standard wiring on all cars for that purpose.

Just keep phoning up looking for cancellations. They're bound to happen. When i booked my test, there was a 3-month lead time until test day. Then when test day came around we had a huge snowstorm, so it was cancelled and i had a further 3 months delay! From booking on 31st October 2003, my test wasnt until 8th April 2004. Passed first time though.

Seeing that bonnet gives me shivers! It looks amazing!!

£3k, thats a bargain?! How much will the labour be on top of that?

Agree. Definitely needs a rub down after the primer, else you'll get a textured finish. (Speaking from experience!)

I got an invite for the Fifa 16 closed beta, so i've been playing that tonight. Feels great so far, certainly an improvement over 15, although there seems to be an over reliance on skill moves to make space for a player. Have also borrowed Battlefield Hardline off a mate. Thats just installing now.

I hate BT. I think it's bang out of order that they've now got all CL football and are holding Sky customers to ransom in order watch it. W@nkers. I'd happily pay over the odds to rip them off rather than paying them.

Any more takers?
