Like this you mean? The effect in B&W is very dramatic as it lifts the contrast between the clouds and clear sky behind them. Makes the sky look very moody. The one used here is a graduated 'tobacco' filter.

That's dreadful! (Funny......but dreadful!)

Bought mine! Just wait until Bruntingthorpe now!!!

HOW OLD???? Happy birthday Doug. You must be the senior officer on your shift at that age, eh?

I only saw the drivers side. Had an interesting reg number, but can't remember exactly what it was. (Only got a short look at it) This was actually in Coltishall though. In the village itself.

Thanks Pete!

I'm sure we have the 'male' parts in the garage, but I think Brian sold the female part to these. Let me or Soop Dogg know if you want these anyway.

New or used. Blingy, shiny one would be nice, but not essential! Please let me know with price you are looking for etc.

In Coltishall village today at about 3.50pm. Came from Wroxham direction and headed towards N. Walsham. You wouldn't have noticed me as I was in the Audi with no rear plate! (Must get that stuck back on at the weekend!!)

Here's a prime example of "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" offered by an English professor from the University of Phoenix. The professor told his class one day: "Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the person sitting to his or her immediate right. As homework tonight, one of you will write the first paragraph of a short story. You will e-mail your partner that paragraph and send another copy to me. The partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story and send it back, also sending another copy to me. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back-and-forth. Remember to re-read what has been written each time in order to keep the story coherent. There is to be absolutely NO talking outside of the e-mails and anything you wish to say must be written in the e-mail. The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached." The following was actually turned in by two of his English students: Rebecca and Gary. ------------------------------------------- THE STORY (first paragraph by Rebecca) At first, Laurie couldn't decide which k ind of tea she wanted. The chamomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of the question. (second paragraph by Gary) Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than the neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. "A.S. Harris to Geostation 17," he said into his transgalactic communicator. "Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so far..." But before he could sign off a bluish particle beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole through his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit. (Rebecca) He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt one last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who had ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4. "Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel," Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously excited her and bored her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth, when the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree, with no newspaper to read, no television to distract her from her sense of innocent wonder at all the beautiful things around her. "Why must one lose one's innocence to become a woman?" she wondered wistfully. (Gary) Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands of miles above the city, the Anu'udrian mothership launched the first of its lithium fusion missiles. The dim-witted wimpy peaceniks who pushed the Unilateral Aerospace disarmament Tre aty through the congress had left Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires who were determined to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty the Anu'udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to stop them, they swiftly initiated their diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret mobile submarine headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam, felt the inconceivably massive explosion, which vaporized poor, stupid Laurie. (Rebecca) This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic semi-literate adolescent. (Gary) Yeah? Well, my writing partner is a self-centered tedious neurotic whose attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium. "Oh, shall I have chamomile tea? Or shall I have some other sort of F**KING TEA??? Oh no, what am I to do? I'm such an air headed bimbo who reads too many Danielle Steele novels!" (Rebecca) Asshole. (Gary) Bitch (Rebecca) F**K YOU - YOU NEANDERTHAL! (Gary) Go drink some tea - whore. (TEACHER) A+ - I really liked this one.

It's not until Sunday lunch time! So what else are you going to do on a Sunday morning?

Thanks for the videos, Simon. If the track is the same then that'll be a great help to me! Can't wait for the end of April now!! :ecstatic:

Looking forward to seeing everybody new and old! I will get "DUSTY" in shiny Black condition again. Soop Dogg can do his own!

Not actually a pressie, but it is FOR his birthday. Digsy and his girlfriend Sarah are also coming as well as one of Brian's mates from N. Ireland who is going to be out there at the same time. I got him a Canon 350D SLR digital for his birthday, but he got that early. (Before Le Mans actually!!) See you all when we get back.

NEW YORK! :ecstatic: Tomorrow:nyah: HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY :p for the 28th December.

looks good me!

very cute!

Tweezers. (Hazard of my job) Light bulbs for my car. (I must have about 6 twin packs with one bulb in each!)

440's are tricky to say the least. When Brian (Soop Dogg) owned his garage, he used to say a 440 is for life, not just for Xmas! :thumbdown

How much for the active spoiler, ecu etc? Please feel free to pm me.

Good. Brian needs to speak to you about whether or not you got to the bottom of the "2nd turbo not coming on line at 4k problem".

:blush: Hi Heckler! When did you get back to blighty then???

Can't you just leave the fuel pump plugged in and just remove the efi fuses as someone else said on here? Seems easier to me. But then I'm a woman....... And another thing - when the factory figures are obtained on a bench, the engine is all spangly and new.(no gritty bits) If I were to do the same on my engine by removing all plugs (even after blowing compressed air around the bases of the plugs) I'm not sure I'd trust one of those cylinders not to ingest a little flake of grit or something from around an open plug hole. One plug at a time (for me) on an engine that's been in the real world. Sorry if I'm stepping on any toes, but I'm just learning here too! Just asked Soop Dogg and he reckons he'd do it this way to be safe. Very little difference in the final reading between the two methods unless the gauge is particularly accurate which apparently many aren't!

Looks like a right little character!
