  1. You're better off not running a plate than having an illegally spaced one. True story. IMHO if you can't for whatever reason buy a plate that doesn't need altering, then don't buy it in the first place. At the best that one says MBH N H anyway.
  2. We pay employees if they can't get in or are sick or have to leave work early for whatever reason. In return they work late at short notice and without breaks if things go awry. Give and take and all that.
  3. Speaking of driving in the snow, people are in general complete idiots. Just been outside to empty the bin and there's some spacktard driving down the road in his Golf, which normally wouldn't be an issue if we didn't have 6" (I measured it) of snow on the ground! It's highly unlikely he had studded tyres on, so he's not only risking his own car but also other people's if he looses control and slips across into a parked car. A little dusting yes, that's fine, go drive, but when it really is this bad what the crap are people doing driving out on a Sunday FFS?!
  4. http://www.lotusf1team.com/ Lotus F1 car countdown, far too cool. You need to see this before 17:00 else it'll disappear and be replaced with another fugly F1 car
  5. So it was a bit later, but I'd left him outside in the truck and it was cold Anyhoo, here he is! He's a monkey and not a teddy bear though, sorry 'bout that! He does need a proper name now and I'm fresh out of ideas, so suggestions are more than welcome.
  6. Korean man say to those prices: HO LEE PHUK Find yourself a day with a decent TDO (personally I use Bookatrack, Johnny and the guys there are incredibly welcoming but don't take any mucking around) and go to a circuit with plenty of run-off, somewhere like Anglesey is absolute perfect and is one of the best tracks in the UK. Take it slow and steady, listen to the briefing and keep an eye on your mirrors for faster cars, and you will have nothing to worry about. You can hire an instructor if you want for £30 for 30 mins which is more than enough to teach you the lines and smooth you out. If you're drifting a lot on an abrasive airfield you could well kill tyres quickly, but smooth driving on a proper track isn't likely to give any real noticeable tyre wear across the middle, although you will probably wear the shoulders a tad more. A stock Zed will be fine on track, just remember not to do any more than about 20 mins max out there and then take a 30 min rest before going out again. My first time was terrifying for the first hour, then it all clicked and it was nothing short of incredible. By the end of the day I was overtaking significantly more powerful machinery, but also getting passed by some complete nails! It really isn't anything to panic about, and you shouldn't be afraid to push the car harder as that's the whole idea of trackdays, but if you are particularly bothered then track day insurance is available.
  7. Yup, that's how they make a good deal of their profit.

    I'd need to see those stickers above in the flesh. They may work, they may look a bit tacky.mi was considering similar on the 911, but decided against it in the end in the name of understatedness.
  11. I has a ted! Pics to come after my lunch...
  12. The wookie's fist? Are you crazy man, it's the greatest wash mitt I've ever seen: How many mitts come with advisement that you comb them with a pet comb first to remove any insects left over from when it used to be a sheep?!
  13. Used play UO about 10 years ago, never really got into it as I played with someone who was a massive fan of mining grinding. Currently playing Star Trek Online now it's FTP, magnificent game.
  14. With the V8 With the diseaseal
  15. Can you not select gears with buttons/paddles? SLGay isn't a light car, a small engine (even sc'd) is going to struggle to pull it along.
  16. Like that, only with less OLD I didn't get one today so I'll pop into town tomorrow and grab one. He's a-coming folks!
  17. That orange one is a great buy, BCR suspension would be my choice anyway on a budget, and the 17"s mean you get cheaper rubber to replace. You'll get that for £6K easy.
  18. For a cheap trackday shed then the latter would be the better choice, assuming that the upgraded suspension is any good/to your spec.
