  1. That's not switching, that's called replacing worn tyres.
  2. They're very good tyres, so personally I wouldn't switch.
  3. +1 for the Poorboys spray. I'd tried so many other things (sprays, wipes, creams etc) and nothing comes close to the finish you get from the Poorboys. It's safe enough for the leather as well, so you can pretty much just cover your entire interior in it and it'll come out looking beautiful.
  4. By design the rotary engine will be a hell of a lot smoother as it rotates in itself rather than has things jumping up and down internally, so that will account for a lot of the extra NVH you'll get. This is turn can deceive your ears into thinking the engine is louder than it actually is, but saying that the Zed's V6 isn't the last line in subtleness when booting it.
  5. Either a 997 C2S Gen2 or a C6 ragtop. Totally different ends of the scale but both very charismatic cars in their own right.
  6. That said, Tulisa is only fit until she opens her mouth and starts speaking. She makes Dappy sound like Stephen Fry.
  7. Why? I would never ever do that to a private seller but a main dealer is a different kettle of fish IMHO.
  8. It's Dappy I'm with Danny on this one, I quite like N-Dubz as well and not just 'cos I'd bang the snot out of the girl and I'm nigh-on 30 too. If you take the music for what it is, which is just a bit of fun and not to be taken seriously then it's actually pretty good. I saw them live at V this year and they were absolutely superb: Full of energy and with some quality backing musicians, so to write them off as chuff really isn't very fair.
  9. Agreed, and knickers go on last so you can rip them off and still have the awesomeness that is the stockings + belt left on for sneakytimes.
  10. If it's a 2003 car then it's got 276bhp. If it's a 2006 car with the nicer interior then it's got 296bhp.
  11. First time I took a Zed coupe out they just threw me the keys and left me to it, second time they had to come out with me as it was a roadster and that made all the difference apparently...
  12. A PlayStation first and foremost
  13. More than reasonable, glad you got it all sorted
  14. I've got a Panasonic system too! Small world and all that. Mine's an SA-PT850, which suits my needs for now but I'm going to have to get a proper setup soon as the TV is just so much better than the audio at the moment.
  15. This is another way of doing it (and indeed, is how I've got mine setup currently on my Sammy 7 series) if you don't have a decent enough surround system, but for £700 I'd be looking at something more high-end for better results. Agree with Fiddy about the Logitech remotes though, a mate of mine has one and it's a beautiful piece of kit. That said, it's attached to £15K worth of audio & visual equipment so it wanted to be pretty good!
  16. By being very polite. Honestly, they're completely in the wrong to charge you much more than a couple of hours labour for this, so if they give you a bill for £200+ then I'd simply say that you don't feel you should, and what would they do if they were in your shoes? Truth is they sound like a decent place anyway if they were going to start chasing Nissan for you as you're only just out of warranty, so just be polite to them and I'm sure they'll do the right thing.
  17. For that sort of money I'd be looking at an amp with 4 HDMI in as a minimum. Basically, you connect everything to the amp via HDMI and then output to the TV from the amp via HDMI: You won't be using the optical input/output at all. All the sound will come from the amp (to which you'll attach either 5.1 or 7.1 speakers) and switch sources on that. There's about a million different options out there, I'd start by perusing www.avforums.com and make your own mind up from there. Just a question though: Surely you only watch TV via Sky? There's no need to use terrestrial analogue signals if you've got something better (assuming you've got a Sky HD box here, of course).
  18. Reading that and moving past the ZOMG NANNY STATE bullshit, it's no different to what happens now. If a child is thought to be at risk then someone has to be allowed access to view the accommodation they're living in, and all this new guidance (and that's all it is, guidance not law) will allow them to do is to pass comment over things like grates in front of gas fires, bottles of bleach kept in cupboards and not on the side etc, basically common sense stuff any decent parent will be doing anyway. If you live like a pikey in a shitty council house full of rubbish and crap that's blatantly a death trap for kids, then I'd want the appropriate services involved and doing all they can. Honestly, sometimes the Times is as bad as the Mail for this kind of thing. And to think people mock the Sun for crap journalism...!
  19. Can you not just log in via the AOL homepage and access your emails there? That's what I do as I refuse to put any AOL bloatware on any PC I have to use.
  20. They won't issue a new V5 there and then, but they will remove/add a number plate on the spot, is that the general consensus? That's how it's always been when I've done it.
  21. Sadly I think you're right, which is very disappointing. I did it in a couple of days but made sure I took my time. I'll have another walkthough at some point this week, but the SP on MW2 isn't as involving as it was on MW1 which is a shame.
  22. I played this on MP yesterday for the first time (not usually a fan of MP games tbh, but I was bored so thought I'd give it a go). My final result after the first game looked as follows: Kills: 2 Assists: 2 Deaths: 16 Yeah, so I'm not touching MP ever again. DO NOT WANT.
  23. '07 could still be the revup model though so RE040s, but if you've already got RE050s on if the HR then I certainly wouldn't be changing to anything else.
