Ekona

Brilliant update!

Sell the HD1 and buy a HD2? Upgrade cost might not be that much then, although you would still have the cost of the external mic to add in. Having looked at this, when I purchase mine later this month (hopefully) I'll be adding a Sony ECM-DS70P to it for decent sound capturing.

I didn't, as much as I would've liked to I think that would've been a bit sad. Just meeting the man is good enough for me, I'll always have the memory

What a thoroughly decent chap Went to the launch of the Maser GTS last night in London at some posh club, and was just standing there chatting to my mate Mark when suddenly there was a mass of photographers snapping away at this short guy in a pale blue jacket. He turns around and I was a little bit taken back to discover that it was Sir Stirling not more than 10m away. He was kinda occupied most of the evening by the usual luvvy-dahlink kinda people who all earn more in one day than I do in a year, but after a couple of glasses of champagne I decided I wasn't going to miss a chance to say hello to just a legend so casually sauntered up and introduced myself. I literally only wanted to shake his hand and leave the guy in peace, but both his wife and him insisted that I stick around for a bit and had a proper chat about racing, and how it's far too safe and dull these days compared with when he was doing it professionally. He spent longer talking with me than I could ever have expected, and tbh I could've stayed there all night, fascinating guy. Perhaps it was a little bit uncool to get so excited by the thought of meeting a hero, but I'm bloody glad I did it. Jodie Kidd was there as well (she's proper tall!), but I didn't really get a chance to speak with her. Sir Stirling is far cooler though.

Who said that? ;)

Yup, old news and not going to happen. Typical Daily Fail scaremongering

Trust me, the mk3 MR2 is a better car when it stays NA. Having driven most conversions now, I'd stick with the simple 2ZZ one, even over the V6. Better balanced.

Whats wrong with a jailbroken one Ekona? Nothing as such, I'm just thinking along the lines of something like a keylogger which is impossible to do on a non-broken iPhone, whereas you can put whatever you want on a jailbroken one with relative ease. Access to FB and everything else is easy to get via social engineering or if you use the same passwords, but the telephone number thing? That's the puzzler here, and unless she does have a mate in CPW who is passing on the details then there has to be something on the phone. ...or not, as with a way of accessing the PC/Mac remotely you could view the iPhone's telephone number on screen when connected to iTunes. That's all I've got really, not much help I know.

Jailbroken?

What phone is it?

They're pretty good. Nowhere near the PS2, PSS or RE050A, but better than something like the FK452. I'd rather have the VUS for that kind of money though.

Why would he bother? Money is now irrelevant to him, he has more than enough and any team in the top 6 would be able to satisfy a basic package as long as he kept his own image rights. He wants titles, and there's only three teams capable of delivering that to him. He can't go to Ferrari because Alcocko won't let him, and Red Bull don't have a space next year. He will be with McLaren next year 100%, even if he only signs a 1 year deal with an option of a further year, depending on whether Vettel moves to Ferrari in 2014 as we all suspect he will. I have absolutely no doubt that Mercedes have been speaking to Lewis' management team and given them a package to offer to him, but then I'd be amazed if Lotus and Red Bull hadn't done exactly the same. You make the offers on the off-chance you can get a top driver, and if they say yes then you work out if you actually want them or not. It's common sense. Eddie Jordan is entertaining and still chatty with the big guns, but ultimately this is a complete non-story and a load of utter rubbish.

*Looks at Stoke's position in league* *Looks at Spur's position in league* Stones, glass houses and all that...

What have the police said about it?

Make sure they go up your bum the right way round

I paid a bit extra to be with Sky this year, almost 10% more I think, but I did that because I wanted my mods covered to their value. Admiral would only have given me standard parts back if I had an accident, and the risk wasn't worth the saving. Depends on whether you see insurance as a necessary evil or if you want it to give you protection/peace of mind I guess. The fact that some specialist insurers can be double a mainstream shouldn't come as any surprise, as it's no difference to when you Gocomparethemoneysupermeerkat and end up with some premiums in the £8K range. Some insurers want the business and will take the risk, some don't want will price themselves out of the risk. Truth is that people driving modified sports cars have some of the highest value claims in the event of an accident, so insurers need to protect themselves against that risk.

In that case, I never want to be within 5 miles of yours

Some fat-arsed munter. Seriously, I wouldn't touch her with yours.

Armageddon is my favourite film, RIP Bear

I have absolutely no idea, I don't connect it via BT and never did in the Zed when I had it either. I always mute my sat navs, and use the visual guide instead.

JesusPhone + TT software = sorted for all occasions

It's only a couple of hours to Thurrock, well worth a visit

Spot on Lewis was on the white line. If you look at the overhead camera shot, Grosjean came flying across and didn't give Lewis anywhere near the required room. He was going much quicker than Lewis anyway, so if he had have given him the space then he would've been ahead with room to spare on track. I suspect that if only Lewis and Grosjean had collided and no car had gone airborne and almost taken Alcocko's head off, then he wouldn't have had the ban. It was such a dangerous and ridiculously reckless manoeuvre though they had to come down hard. Are Renault, sorry Lotus allowed to replace him as a driver for the next race? It's the driver being punished, not the team after all.

Yes, we should all get the choice of which laws we want to follow.

I suspect he was severely bollocked over that by Martin. Although he has lost his aunt this week, so maybe his head isn't where it should be and you can't really blame him for that.
