  1. Andy only says that to minimise tyre wear as North Weald is so abrasive.
  2. Remove all units, remove washing machine, remove sink from old worktop, cut new worktop, fit sink, cut back/extend waste & water supplies, refit units, fit new worktop, connect and test. A day's work and because the space is limited (especially when you've got both units in and you're crouched down trying to work between them doing the connections) I'd put a bit extra on top for the ballache. That would include materials though to be fair, and allowing for the replacing of the inevitable broken tiles when you remove the worktops. *EDIT* Just re-read your post, you want the worktop replaced both sides? Yup, I'll stick with £500 easy, although it may be less up your way: I'm working on SE prices here.
  3. I was going to say a couple of hundred quid until I saw the size of the gap between the two worktops. Now I'd say nearer £500, 'cost that's just going to be a PITA. Also, let the plumber supply his own pipe and fittings, you'll only buy crap from B&Q and there's nothing worse than trying to do some work for someone with cheap fittings. The extra labour needed to stop the fittings leaking will wipe out any cost saving and then some!
  4. Use the scrollwheel on your mouse, or check where the forum is on the main forum section before you open up the search page.
  5. Trust me, loads of duct tape underneath and in the engine bay, slap a bit of baby oil on the car before you put the clingfilm on if you're really worried. Oh, and deffo pixplz!
  6. Leave them exactly how they are. You're used to how the car handles and the How Fast days aren't about extended periods of time on track, which is fortunate as the 452s will melt after a bit of pushing. I'd set them to 36f and 37r, give the front a smidgen more bite though if it were me.
  7. I still don't see why you can't use clingfilm. Loads of it on, and secure it under the bodywork. No worse than a car bra rubbing on the paint. Job = carrot.
  8. Happiness. No really, the film called Happiness. One of the darkest, most twisted yet utterly normal films you'll ever watch. It was recommended to me ages ago and I impulse purchased because it was cheap on DVD, and it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
  9. Get short term loan, buy Zed, flog Hyundai Although to be fair I'd be chopping it in at a dealer if I were in your shoes too. Don't get too hung up on warranties unless it's from a Nissan main dealer as you'll find the exclusions as long as your arm.
  10. He's got a three-place grid penalty already for ignoring waved yellows, although it does seem a bit harsh as there was a green light in front of him and there was no yellow light on his steering wheel. I guess the FIA are going to be hot on safety stuff this weekend though after recent motorsport fatalities.
  11. They are truly awful and I never understood the point of having your car look so incredibly fugly whilst you own it so you keep the paint nice for the next owner. I know you only want it for a temporary solution Wasso so that's cool, it's more the fools that leave them on all year round that I don't get.
  12. Clingfilm. I've done that before on the way to a show where I didn't want to have to clean the car again when I got there. Worked an absolute treat!
  13. Sollis Panelcraft. I've had work done there and I just picked up a Temper Orange car from them this week which had some work done to it, and the colour match was perfect. Everyone knows how hard TO is to match, so this was a spectacular job. I wouldn't go anywhere else, regardless of distance. Go to the Harlow branch, that's their big unit and the top man works, really friendly guy.
  14. Never mind that, you'll still have to queue with the rest of us.
  15. Sunday, 16:10
  16. MASSIVE OWL FACE
  17. We've got it on here too. MASSIVE OWL FACE
  18. Even Kimi isn't that daft.
  19. Might be worth reading that manual before the next rant though, eh?
  20. And they are who exactly? No offence, but anyone could make that blurb up so I don't think I'd be buying based on that one post
  21. MTFU
  22. Trailer coming November 2nd Where the hell did that come from??!! Nice way to keep a surprise Rockstar!
  23. 1. The Zed logo in the vent that you can only see with the doors open. Completely unnecessary design feature, yet it shows the passion that went into designing the car. 2. Cassette player in the stock head unit. DEAR GOD HAVE WE NOT LEFT THE 1980'S BEHIND??!! With regards to the Zed logo, I did other mods that made more of a difference to the car but the question was which feature/mod made me smile, and that little gem still makes me smile today when I think back to it.
