    Any Motogp fans??

    World series is, for sure. But the British guys are still pretty good to watch. I'm seriously looking forward to sundays duel. In MCN, Rossi and Hayden have both vowed to go all out to win. And the Spanish Torpedo has vowed to beat Rossi to help Hayden! Which probably means he'll do a number on him this time. I just hope it's a good clean(ish:eyebrows: ) race so we can really see who's the best when it comes down to it. I'm going to chloroform the missis and the baby on sunday, so i can watch the race uninterrupted.

    Excellent, well funny. And also true!
  3. Those freestyle mx guys are complete loons. Obviously Pastrana is the Lord. He's carrying some major injuries too. And here's why..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_4WYaJeQec&mode=related&search=
  4. I'd post up a pic if i were you. There are a number of ways of dealing with this sort of thing, but really need to know what you are trying to sort out.

    Moto GP tomorrow

    Yeah me too. I just don't think Hayden is real championship material yet. He wouldn't be where he is without everyone else having such bad luck (Rossi, Capirex, Marco etc) So Pedrosa torpedoing him may have evened it out. Did you know Gibernau has got the boot from Ducati, so they can run Stoner!

    Moto GP tomorrow

    Anyone know who's on pole for tomorrows finale. I recon it'll be an awesome battle Hayden will be going all out to beat Rossi. And Rossi could play safe and ride for points, but that's not his style. Especially as it's the last ever race of the 990cc monsters since they are going 800c next year. He's going to want to win the last ever race of it's class like he was the last man to win on the 500cc strokers. And the first man to win in the new 990 class. And the first man (for many years) to win back to back titles on differant manufacturers bikes. The man's a genius
  8. Wow mate, that must be amazing to have all those parts kicking around the house. Every boys dream. Don't know what would be best, fitting them to the car or fondling them everyday when you come home from work. Bet you didn't get them off e-bay!

    K14 Sup

    This'll be him... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/member.php?u=7899
  10. Shame i don't live local to ya then I also know about the rush rush thing. The place i'm at want to teach me Tig, but i know they'll never get round to it as they can't afford to not have me mig welding.
  11. I wouldn't like to put a value on it. Check the cars for sale on here and see what they are going for, and see if you can compare it to any of them, age/mileage service history etc. Personally, if i was in the market for one now, i'd look on here first and look at the cars that have been looked after by the club members.

    Silver P-YAE

    Spotted on the A11 heading south at Attleborough through the road works today.
  13. Good show mate. Yor car sure does look sweet. I'm on the fence regarding the spoiler thing, i like it either way really.
  14. Get it checked out by someone in the know if you can. Look at the shut lines and see if all the panels line up. See what the Hpi turns up, if it has been damaged and repaired it's not the end of the world as long as it's been done right. And you get a car with a nice fresh coat of paint.
  15. I missed this on tv tonight, but i've seen it before. Unfortunately it ruined my oppinion of what was once a great band. When me and my mates were all learning to play and forming our first band, Metallica were the greatest band in the world and we wanted to be just like them. That film shows what they have turned into now, a couple of bickering wankers (Hetfield & Ulrich) that hate each other, and are only doing it for either money or contract obligations. Thats why Jason Newstead left, he knew it had run its course. Indeed St.Anger was a pointless colection of unorganised riffs. Never did like Lars Ulrich though, propper hand pump.
  16. I've recently got back into MIG welding for an engineering company. We're building components for car transport trailers mostly. I'd like to know more about cnc and cad though, as i'd consider going back to college to train. I don't fancy being on the end of a mig torch forever. How do you get into that side of things?
  17. How a person rates something based on its looks is down to their opinion, and therefore is a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty. I uncertainly believe that your opinion is as inferior as your car. On another note, there was a kid at my school called Marcos who used to get a kicking every other day because he used to play with his "thingy" in lessons.
  18. Well, i'd definitely have a supra over the Ferrari. That style of super car is ok from an engineering point of view, but whenever i see one on the road, i think over payed football player wa**er behind the wheel. Be alright as a stripped out track car though
  19. Don't worry about it. We all know these people are just angry with themselves for purchasing an inferior car to the Supra. And in a fit of frustration, then slagged off said super car making it impossible for them ever to own one. Anyway, i'm off to pop one of me wellies in the oven
  20. Off-side quarter glass needed. £15??? Pm reply please
  21. Pretty avarage race apart from Danni torpedoing Hayden, and Elias turbo boost ending! That was a good ride. Pedrosas idiotic manouver has gone and ruined what may have been the ultimate show down at the last round though. If Hayden had finished well but behind Rossi, they would have been on equal points going into the final race. Hopefully Honda will sack the characterless little Hand-Pump now for what he did. I'm not a Hayden fan really, but didn't like seeing that happen to him.

    Matt Laquer

    Don't think theres such a thing as matt laquer. You can get a matting agent that you can mix into paint for a matt finish, but obviously thats no good for aerosols! What is it you are painting? Maybe there's another way. If you wet flat clear laquer with fine paper (1500) it will have a dull finish!
  23. May as well just rip that mother out then. Be loads easier with it out the way. I'm assuming you just get one end and pull it out!
  24. I'm prepping my car for paint at the moment and the rubber seal that goes around the screen is a pain in the butt to keep out of the way. I can get it away from the paintwork a bit by pushing electrical wire behind it to lift it, but realy could do with just taking it out all together. So, has anyone bought one of these recently and can tell me what they cost?
