  1. Excellent job mate! I've had a small camera lying about with that idea in mind for years now, but never got around to actually Trying it. Looks like a great quality image too!.....................Now i'm convinced! ....I gotta do it! Well done that man!
  2. I had the chance of a job working for a mate recently. But it meant the same:Giving up my secure job, company car, guarranteed wages every month, etc. And taking the plunge. Never had the bottle to do it, although it sounded really good at the time. Doesnt sound like your mates been very decent with you. He shouldnt have made promises that he wasnt going to honour in the end. You've just made me realise that i've really done the right thing by staying where i am, And i wish you all the best in finding a new job !
  3. Well I've had a fun day at work today! Took my company car in to our allocated garage for its first service(20k) at 9.30am. Car went in running sweet, no problems to report. Returns at 1700 to collect it, and the receptionist tells me that the wrong parts were delivered, and the mechanic is still working on it, but should be finished in about 10 mins. (Fair enough) 45 mins later, the mechanic reverses my car out of the garage, and tells me that its been serviced, but i should get it to the dealer as soon as possible, because it seems to be lacking power!......Hmmmm! I tell him the car drives fine, and take it away to try it out. 200 yds along the road the engine management light comes on, and the car wont rev above 3000rpm with no turbo kicking in! Took it straight back, explains the fault, and a now very unhappy mechanic by this point starts to look at it again. He explained that he'd spilled deisel when changing the filter and had pressure washed the engine (again, fair enough) and attacks it with the airline to dry out any sensors/ connectors that may be wet. With no result from that, he produces the diagnostic reader. (Which i had to show him where to connect it to). I have now spent over 2 hours waiting on my car tonight. I ended up leaving it with them, to take to the dealer in the morning, and had to get one of the other engineers from my work to run me home (nearly another hour). Just goes to prove "If it aint broken, dont fix it!" How can some garages get away with this????? (this is a common occurrence with them) Anyone else got any similar horror stories to tell?? Sorry guys and girls rant over! Feel better now!
  4. Repost it may be. But i aint seen it! And its given me a laugh!
  5. Happy birthday! hope you all have a great day!
  6. and Dont worry, we dont all bite here, it just helps if youre a bit crazy!
  7. Hi Lucy, a very warm welcome!
  8. Though i seem to be last in the very long queue of members here Millsy........
  9. very impressive! you should be able to burn a few retinas with those at night! does anyone know of a direct replacement HID kit available over here for the supe?
  10. Yeah, thats one quality REPLICA alright. take it the bodykits made of cardboard?............................and to think that some poor sod's just paid £1900 for it!! You've really got to worry about some people in this world!
  11. Cheers guys! Currently starting discussions with Yurgen as we speak! Mattanna - do like the car mate, but im afraid im definitely looking for a manual n/a. (as i may have a TT conversion project planned for further down the line)
  12. :thumbs: OMG! i see what you mean! :taped: Yeah!, minds DEFINITELY made up now guys! thanks for the advice. Keighley AINT getting a visit now at all !!!
  13. No probs! cheers guys! thats the kind of info i was needing. Aint even going through to look now, if thats the kind of feedback im getting. did wonder why the guy would've imported only last year then traded it back in already mind you!
  14. Take it youve heard bad reports about them too? (havent been able to dig up any dirt on them, but ive heard that a few guys in the MR2oc have had probs) Dont care about the wheels or the dinner table on the rear, as they'd both be getting replaced. however, it does make you wonder why they haven't gone to the extent of tidying the wheels etc up?............and have they not bothered about anything else?
