  1. Put it this way, you're out and about and a copper stops you because his speed gun wasn't working when trying to lock onto you. He finds this installed on the car, do you think anyone will believe that it was actually the car next to you that was running it at the time? Personally I'd be ripping it out asap, just in case.
  2. Better late than never... L-R, all years approximate! 2002 Peavey International bass, my current gigging bass. 1997-ish Marlin Precision copy, I'd actually forgotten I owned this until my Mum found it clearing out my old bedroom a few years back! Probably one of the first basses I ever owned. 1994 Squier Strat, my first ever guitar. Sadly no longer works, hence the taped up strings. Kept purely for sentimental reasons. 2008 No-name Strat copy. My MIL bought this to learn on, gave up, gave it to me. I've never played it. 1997 Squier Jagmaster. Love this one so much, bought as a treat to myself when I was at college. The first guitar I bought myself when I could play more than three chords! 2001 Epiphone SG. I always wanted an SG but didn't fancy paying Gibson prices, and tbh I'm glad I didn't. Horribly unbalanced things, but they do look so cool. 2016 Ibanez AEG2411. My first ever acoustic, only bought last year. I really like the thin neck and body on this, feels very 'electric' in use which makes it easy to play. 2012 Fender Mustang Cobain edition. My precious. Huge fan of Nirvana, and as luck would have it I actually prefer my guitars with short scale necks too. Beautiful tone, dirty as hell if you want it, stunning. And the gear too: Top: Peavey Bandit 112 Red. Some love these, some hate them. I think they give a surprisingly full tone from a solid state amp, and whilst they're not exactly delicate it does give me the tone I'm after. Bottom: Trace Elliott GP7 SM 150. No longer running the original speaker (although I can't actually remember what I put in there now!), this has done me proud over the years on the road. FX: Digitech RP1000. Bought a few months after the Mustang, and tbh it's not great. I had an ancient RP6 which was superb, but this is just a little gutless. The effects (chorus, flanger etc) themselves are spot-on, but the amp and cabinet stuff is so thin. Not a great buy if I'm honest, I still need to spend a good day tweaking everything really. I really want a purple Ibanez electric next, something with some angles to look cool when playing metal on.
  3. Yeah, don't buy from there! Buy these, they have the highest lumens rating of anything sensibly priced (3200, most others top out at 2800) so you'll get better vision than OEM replacement too.
  4. And make sure you replace them as a pair, when one goes the other won't be far behind.
  5. Cheers bud, I'm not sure I'll make it through the night at this rate though :(
  6. Personally I'd just put a bit of heatproof wrap around the bits that touch and be done with it.
  7. Get him to shift the wedding to the transport museum
  8. The quality of the filter is the most important thing really. Swap that nasty blue thing out for a decent Green/K&N one and that would be fine.
  9. Precat failure is a 1zz issue for celicas and MR2s, which forum were you on?? You just need a new O2 sensor, easy as that.
  10. Also worth a punt trying to tighten it first, too. Seems counter productive but you'd be surprised how often it'll free a stubborn thread.
  11. Not a chance in hell an Apple Watch is worth it, and I say that as an owner. Smart watches need to grow up quickly, or they'll never catch on. Give me a watch that doesn't need a phone and can do FaceTime and it'll be a winner, but right now it's just a limited gadget that does everything okay, but nothing well.
  12. A knighthood should be given after a lifetime worth of achievement, not just ten years. Can't help but think that the tyres will still be the limiting factor in fun racing again this year. Pirelli really need a kick up the arse, or better still open it up to more than one manufacturer again.
  13. Yes, you really must! Gonna be unmissable, I reckon. The meet to end all meets, the celebration to end all celebrations, the party to *snip*
  14. I got an Apple Watch for Xmas. It's alright. Battery easy does a couple of days with plenty of fiddling, using it as a phone is better than you think (but you still look a bellend), and checking messages instead of grabbing your phone out of your pocket would seem to be the key thing. Other than that though, it actually does 'being a watch' worse than a regular watch.
  15. Half the fun is being on the stand, doesn't matter if it's stock or a twin charged LS3 Rocket Bunny car. Get a stand pass
  16. Depends on the offsets, you'd need to contact them and ask them what they supply them in.
  17. Dude, chill. You're coming across as very aggressive of late, and coming from me that's saying something.
  18. The more I think about it, the more the track choice baffles me. With the money being thrown at this, you'd have thought they'd be able to use either a real track, or at the very least a well-known and well-used airfield. Sure, that might have put paid to any secrecy, but it would've given them serious credibility. To run cars on a 'track' that requires you to turn around and run it backwards is utterly bizarre.
  19. Looks a bit arse-heavy to me. Certainly not a patch on the 3 or XE.
  20. Would a lot of that not be down to road conditions? As you say, cold & wet means you'll have twice as much grip with four tyres over two. Some good driving there too, btw
