That's your punishment for filming in 'Tard O'Vision But yeah, ECP do some good stuff and then they do some tat. Looks like you ended up with some tat.

Oops, missed your last post dude! Fun fact: I made the DJ play the Metallica version of Whiskey at my wedding, simply because it's awesome Think I've nailed down the list of guitars that I'll be trying on the weekend: Epi 1984 Explorer ESP LTD Snakebyte Gibson Explorer 2017 HP Chapman Ghost Fret Pretty much decided I want an Explorer-type simply because it looks so much cooler than a Les Paul, just hoping one of those is comfortable to play. Initial thoughts going on interwebs and guesswork: Epiphone will likely feel outclassed, but then I have budget to replace the pups with something proper EMG 81/60s Snakebyte has probably the exact tone I want, but I'm not sold on the shape. Being a signature edition doesn't bother me, although I know some hate them. Gibson has a slightly wider fretboard so may be too fiddly, however the extra bits over the T (especially the G-Force auto tuning) is too cool to pass up. Chapman is an unknown, although the guy at Andertons said it was definitely worth trying (I'm aware of the link between Chapman and Andertons, so may just be sales patter!) May end up buying none, may end up with something completely different. We shall see

I remember when I broke my with my ex who I'd been with for 7 years, and suddenly had to get back on the dating scene again. A scene I'd never actually been to in the first place, as I literally went from one relationship that started at school into the next at 18, so at age 25 it was a shock to the system. Anyways, there was one really cute girl who used to work in the local WHS and we'd always have a little chat every day when I used to pop in to buy the daily paper, so one day I simply asked her out. She said no, which I accepted with grace and walked away. Bizarrely it was one of the most euphoric experiences I've ever had, as when I realised getting turned down actually didn't feel as bad as I expected, I knew that it was something I'd be able to do again and again without any fear. Really hard to describe, and I certainly didn't for one moment expect getting knocked back to be so enlightening.

VD is commercial garbage. Why would I want to spend 2x the price of flowers on any other day of the year, or go to a restaurant that will be twice as busy and be kept waiting for my food, or buy some expensive shiny tat just because all the ads on telly say that's the correct way to express love? Sod that. In truth I did get her a card this year, but only because I found one that said "You've got great tits!" on it and it made me laugh

My brother met his current partner on Match, so it def does work. Think of it another way: How do you pick who you want to message? I'm guessing it's picture first, then the text. Women will be the same, and maybe your photo isn't working or the text isn't right. Not saying you're an ugly git or write like a 5 year old more like perhaps the photo isn't as flattering as it could be, or the text isn't standing out enough to sell yourself in the best possible way. It's a definite art form, as there's a fine line between showing off and trying to stand out. If you want an honest and independent appraisal, I'm happy to have a look over it for you.

Can we stop encouraging the guy to put the price up please...

Check the vent, make sure it's not circulating round into the tank. Very unlikely, but an easy check.

Any awkward vibrations? Might be worth taking it out and checking the impeller anyway, easy thing to rule out.

Dodgy pump internals? As in, when they spin up to create pressure they're creating turbulence in the pump itself, so essentially it's creating it's own air.

Because some people on here are absolute cretins and need to be blocked :( And I thought we were friends

Happy birthday for yesterday matey!

It'll be a 4th Bummer stays, Scooby stays, truck stays, I just need a convertible back in my life.

Let it go G Man. We know you think they're the bestest thing ever, we know there's some that think they're a pile of junk, then there's the truth that sits somewhere in between. No harm in defending a purchase or a hobby, but sometimes you just need to let it be. FWIW, I find the Mustang to be a wonderful concept that has just a couple of flaws I couldn't get past, but that doesn't mean I'm not glad that they exist and at least one manufacturer has the balls to make a manual V8 car for sensible money. Long may it continue. And yes, I'm aware of the biting irony of me posting this after my all-encompassing defending of things Porsche, so let's just leave it by saying I'm aware and shall temper my posting in the future to remember my own words.

Fixed.

Good to know the VX guys consider him as bad as the Lotus guys do, wouldn't touch his stuff with a barge pole.

I'll be very clear and say that I don't want anything aftermarket FI, and I definitely don't want a FWD scrabble wagon 200bhp/ton is more than enough to have fun with. See, I remember them feeling very light on their feet considering, and that was coming both after the VXR220 and alongside the 350. Maybe rose tinted specs though. VX2.2 are just about doable if I stretch the budget by a couple of grand and accept it might be a snotter.

Oh jeez, we really need to talk as that is smack bang where I want to be, and it's a 313 too...! Seriously, in a couple of weeks I may well have the cash for that if it's as good as you say. PM me more history about the car, so servicing, MOT, when you had bits fitted, who by etc. The more detailed you make it, the more likely I am to buy.

I think you need to decide what's best for you first. Don't worry about her, don't worry about the boy, just make sure that you come out of this with everything you need to carry YOUR life on. At this point everything else is irrelevant.

Already been looking Biggest con for me is lack of aircon and the absolutely rubbish heater. You're right though, if I'm looking at Elises I should consider these more seriously.

It does, thanks fella

I refuse to buy from anyone who can't spell axle. I would imagine a straight cut 'box might get a bit tiring too. Nah, it's a nice idea and I appreciate the effort, but realistically it needs to be a 'proper' car for touring purposes. Something like that is an excellent 5th car though, maybe in the future.

If you can find me a decent one, then hell yes. Budget is around £8K.

Think I may struggle to convince Jo to do any kind of touring in the Radical, but nice try Chris

There's a few vids on YT that are just backing tracks, I had a go last night with them. The missus was not impressed with my efforts I did try learning the Enter Sandman solo which is supposed to be very easy, but I find it hard to pick out the exact notes when there's a wah being used. Managed to do most of the second part of it, but not exactly what you'd call nailed down.
