People are, for the most part, idiots. VED is such a tiny cost in the overall scheme of car ownership, anyone picking a car based on that needs shooting.

Alien3 on the SNES was clearly the definitive version I love all the Alien films. Aliens is obvs the bestest tho.

I just don't get why anyone would send that to someone, especially on a dating site. Proper rudeness.

Did she buy the car? If not, nothing to do with her then!

Well now we have to see the pic! Yeah, that's pretty rude though. Might as well ask for noodz now though, not much to lose...

The limiter should be hit as regularly as you can, as long as the engine is nice and warm you won't do any harm at all. Indeed, it'll help burn off a lot of the crap that can build up, so it's actually a very beneficial thing to explore the upper rev ranges frequently!

And how long have you owned the car?!

Heh, I started on piano too when I was 10/11, but gave up lessons as it clashed with Thundercats on tv. Picked up bass when I was 14, then guitar a couple of years later. Drumming came much later, think I was about 30/31 at the time when I got my electronic kit. I'm just waiting for my soundproof shed to be finished then I'll get an acoustic kit in there

:lol:

That's possibly the worst graphic to demonstrate airflow I've ever seen.

That's what you get when you have a cash in hand society that never pays any tax and makes the government bankrupt ;)

Tried ECP?

Quite possibly: The next push is to get those awful stinking diesels off the road, as they've suddenly realised that they're worse for air quality than petrol ever was. One way to incentivise would be a scrappage scheme of some kind, trouble is is that a lot of the vehicles they want to get shot of are still too new and worth too much: The scrappage scheme would cost a fortune, which is money the government doesn't have.

Almost nowhere. You need a friend with proper private land, as in land that has genuine gated access where the public cannot simply walk into (so no private roads shared with others etc). Empty car parks, industrial estates etc are all a no-go as they fall under public spaces, and will see you done for dangerous driving if caught. Take your old tyres off, donate them to friendly drifters, feel good about yourself. Or sling them on eBay and get a few quid back.

Nope, 'cos that means I'd be paying much more It's fine, leave it as it is. Although watch for it to go back up in the future when EVs take over the world (allegedly) and tax income dwindles again...

Not any more, haven't for about ten years I think. I do miss it, only gave it up because I was running out of time to do other things, now I'd quite enjoy the distraction I think.

Actually I quite like the look of that, might give it a try as well when I'm there, cheers for the heads up dude

My little mk1 MX5 was more fun on track than my 911 ever was. Amazing just how much more entertaining stuff is when you remember it's ultimately sacrificial Nice vids Willis

+1 on the lols

Sounds like a very positive step forward, although an incredibly hard one to take. FWIW I think you're doing exactly the right thing for all parties, even though it may not feel like it right now.

Unless something is just plain ugly. I'd rather be boring than ugly. Some say I'm both mind

The feminazis would have you believe that every man on interweb dating is a f*ck boy, and will get abuse exactly like you say. Sadly it only takes a couple of morons to perpetuate that myth, hence the women probably don't respond if not interested as they've been burned before.

2kw, not £, but either way like you've mentioned, not a single pic.....! Good spot, clearly I just read what I wanted to read. Still, at least we can all agree it's staggeringly overpriced

Or anywhere that sells genuine bearings, yeah. Also geo should be done at least once a year, if not every 6mths if you drive on really crap roads often.
