  1. It is no secret that I am not LH’s biggest fan, but qdos where it is due. Very very touching, brought a tear or 2 to my eyes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-48260677
  2. I am considering the GT86, aero model with a mind to supercharge it or alternatively 5.0 Mustang.
  3. Will they also use OEM parts? When I bought my V70 it was from a franchise Volvo dealer, they replaced certain parts and never used OEM.
  4. I would not be buying the car even if they did repair it, speaks volumes if they were willing to let it go with those issues. Begs the question, what else is/could be wrong with it that’s not picked up by an MOT. If it is a Land Rover, that list could be long. As already said, spend your money on a Volvo. - - - Updated - - - I would not be buying the car even if they did repair it, speaks volumes if they were willing to let it go with those issues.

  5. I cannot wait till they actually do finally decide to decriminalise for not having a TV licence. Tonights episode was rubbish after the Merc & M5. For once I FF most of it.
  6. Ha, well what a turn up for the books. Where I was considering going contracting when my mums estate was wound up and paid out. I got wind of a contract couple of days ago and have put my notice in today. Bricking it, but the daily rate is too much to ignore. Issue now is if my current job can release me in 2 weeks. If not I am staying where I am.
  7. I am going to be doing the exact same shortly, become a IT Contractor. But I am going to go down the LTD company route rather than Umbrella company. Contractors that have been in the game for years all say LTD company for better Tax savings. Also, just get a good accountant to handle everything, so that leaves you to concentrate on getting a contract and earning.
  8. Just wait till they bring in Paddy and Freddie. On face value that is going to be horrendous. Said it before and say it again, Top Gear might be more palatable with Harris, Needell & if available Button who could also replace the Stig. Even replace Needell with maybe Coulthard or Webber, as those 3 former F1 have chemistry. Plato (Plato if Button or no one else is available). One person I would not like to see on there is Vicky double barrel, she annoys me to no end.
  9. Not exactly a hot hatch, but got a D5 myself. A 2014 V70 with Polestar remap. So only producing 230bhp, but the gearbox remap does not make it so lazy on the gear changes. I could have gone for a different remap, but if my car ever went in to Volvo for anything, as part of the service they update the ECU which will always wipe any non polestar remap. I dunno if that is the same as the older C30's.
  10. Not done one of these for a while........... R...... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?352032-1st-new-Supra-to-be-sold-at-Barrett-Jackson-tomorrow-night
  11. Sold for $2.1million, silly price but I think in the States anything bought for charity is tax deductible, if this sale counts.
  12. Link here, mis heard the VIN but hey ho. https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Media/Home/Reader/barrett-jackson-to-auction-first-production-2020-toyota-supra-for-charity-during-48th-annual-scottsdale-auction/
  13. Just watching Barrett Jack live on Discovery. The had a piece on the new 2020 Supra, and the say VIN001 will be auctioned off live tomorrow night for charity. Making it the first new Supra to be sold. It it will be a 1 of 1 in the particular trim, Matt paint etc.
  14. Ah right, great. I thought C4 was only doing 1 race period. I am the same, point blank refuse to pay Sky any more money than they already ass rape me for per month.
  15. Is Sky doing a free to air F1 channel? I thought I read somewhere that they had to, where the race is not shown live similar to the highlights C4 does now.
  16. For the number 1 issue, the active spoiler. If it were that it should be on all the time and not just at speed. Both my Supras had same issue, and red triangle was on constantly till I removed the module from behind the dash. So in all honesty I would spend the 5 mins it takes to remove the module, if it even takes 5 mins, it is located behind the stereo. Then that’s one less issue to list for 5 mins work. Unless it remains after that then it is something else I think.
  17. Kubica to race for Williams in 2019 https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/140224/kubica-agrees-2019-williams-race-deal
  18. Why, why another one, when will it end? Another person that buys the wrong Mustang.
  19. That’s not techy, that’s basic 123. The way I suggested gets rid of all posts except yours.
  20. Firstly, do not call the number, EVER. Try the basics like clearing you cache on all browsers. Can you access your account from another machine?
  21. For offsite on your own laptop, create a word document and go through each of your posts and put it on there with pictures.
  22. I think he will, as he is a self centred, ego driven cockwomble. Unless he is shown up by others, then he might jump.
  23. Goodyear Eagles F’s ring a bell, but dunno if that was the ‘preferred’ option after.
  24. It is probably once again going to be formula yawn tomorrow. Will watch first couple of laps at best I think.
