  1. Haha this is brilliant. Ive just turned 29 but unfortunately for me it's the lack of hair rather than the fitness. Im not unfit although I've grown a slight belly and the real shock was when I got my new photo ID for work. I didn't think I'd changed much over the years but the 6/7 years that have past have produced a... shocking result lol. In my defense I don't eat too badly, don't smoke and only drink Jack Daniels occasionaly but Im not very active. Being on the move all day at work I cant be arsed to go to the gym or play football after work so Ive started hill running to get fitter for the 3rd of the 3 peak challenge in a few months - Ben Nevis. Back to the hair - i was attacked with the clippers last night and given the Ross Kemp treatment. I am the not so proud owner of a number 1 all over but to be fair it had to be done lol.
  2. Does the LPG effect performance at all or can u just flick the switch to petrol and play as normal ?
  3. Yes it came form my single. The bottom end gave me trouble last summer and haven't touched the car since. The plan was to rebuild it this Spring but I have come across a new engine for a good price so I'm just going to lob that in instead hence no need for my head. The bottom end can gather dust in my shed for a bit longer. The head's on no more than about 50k according to Michel Lane who built her for me
  4. Just trying to find the pictures on my pute' mate. I've got them on e-mail too so can forward that as well
  5. I'd like to know the answer to this too. Im thinking of getting it myself but after the disaster that was MAG Im not so sure. The only game I think comes near MW is Operation Flashpoint imo. It's not as good as MW but it's still a great game where as MAG just let itself down...by being shite. An awesome idea not very well executed.
  6. I agree, I fell in love with a black veilside kitted Supra complete with Lambo doors and other flashy stuff I used to see in Ilford when I was working. I've gone right off of them since actually owning a Supe but bought some veilside skirts for mine just last week
  7. I suppose I better cross your palm with silver. See the post ur Mrs thread, I'll bung my entry in as part payment :-)
  8. Anything Im likely to need or break in the near future - :-) lol
  9. Well eff' me - Im going to have to find an engine to bung all that on now lol. That can't be my junk I sent you the other week - I reckon you've scrapped it and bought me new gubbings. Storming effort Raymondo
  10. Went to see this today with the olds, other half and 6 year old and I must say I was bloody impressed. Much bigger than I thought and the displays were amazing. The video compilations scattered around for stunning and it was so good to see the real stuff up close that I've seen on TV for years. One of the special videos he filmed for the tour was part of the Thriller display along with some of the ghouls, his new costume and the mahousive tarantular and that was great. Funny too but you have to see it on the This Is It film with the sound up to see why. This would have been the greatest show ever put on and he was pushing the boundaries again with the 3D aspect and the spectacle of the whole thing. My little girl loved it which was nice and the step dad who isn't in any way shape or form a Jacko fan thought it was blinding. Thoroughly reccomend this although it is off to Japan fairly soon. Whether your into him or just want to see the most iconic things in music history up close you wont be dissapointed, especially as there are ways to get tickets cheap with deals on certain things etc. I would love to see something similar for other icons or genres maybe - could be a winner.
  11. Yep when I was younger I used to look up to Cossie's and wanted an RS then I saw the light and found Jap cars and always dreamed of owning one - now Im up with the big boys and it's so cool to see them behind my car for a change instead of miles in front
  12. Actually, if he counts I want Corey Taylor as my number one :-)
  13. Top 5 rock vocalists...hmm can't order it but: 1) Sebastion Bach - Skid Row 2) Chad Kroeger - Nickelback 3) Myles Kennedy - Alterbridege (seriously under rated band imo) 4) Jon Bon Jovi - Bon Jovi 5) Steven Tyler - Aerosmith Could think of plenty more tbh - David Coverdale, Axl Rose (early), Scott Stapp - too hard a question.
  14. I thought the same about black wheels on my black supe but I did it anyway and was more than chuffed and thought they looked great. They do have a poished edge and dish part tho....and red calipers. Out of your 2 I like the gunmetal better.
  15. I think the general consensus is BPU twin tubby is the way to go. Some people like N/A but I don't personally see the point of having a Supra if it's not turbo'd - and single's as I went for are just 'AG ! TT's are blinding when set up correctly and looked after and more impressive and a BPU is a happy medium between TT and single. Anyone dissagree ?
  16. Ask them if they know where East Angular is lol Oh dear ! I love blondes I really do but.....OH DEAR ! Im hoping blonde blokes are plentuful in that house ?
  17. Anyway back to the original question. I think Lotus are crap unless you want a road legal go-kart that weighs a bag of chips. Even then the Exige (spell) is the one to have for even more umph in a toy that weighs nothing. Econ25 had an Elise in that purple colour and charged around after our mates Skyline like he was being towed on the country lanes with bends but just can't do anything on a flat out sprint. He has since traded up for a canary yellow R34 which Im pleased to say I whiped the snot out of every given oppertunity - He still states the Elise was for the fun factor and the Liner for the grunt and only disslikes Supra's as I have one and it's always fcuked ! Back to the Elise, I am hardly the Stig yet on my first track day when my Supra was TT I was killing everything in straight lines and normal bends including M3's, a Porsche, Cat 7 and Elises's but as soon as I had to 'drive' on bends ect that Elise would be like it was on rails and build such a lead not even the straight was enough to claw it back. I agree with what one of the others said earlier - BPU TT, Evo's the wrong side of 20k mark for what you get IMO and Subaru's are mostly knackered. Skyline's I think are just minging (in general) yet they are great cars. I'd go Supe everytime hence why Im on here and own one
