  2. Sounds great (not on a car though)
  3. JP do you know why Joe swapped from the Motec M600 that CJ had installed to the HKS F-con V pro ?
  4. Sounds nice Paul and great job on the 03's !!!! Pic of Z1 centre cap.
  5. I swear that every day since the ban it's poured down!
  6. From their website: How the ban improves the situation Hosepipes and sprinklers use an incredible amount of water - left running they use more water in an hour than a family of four uses in a day. We estimate that if everyone sticks to the ban we will save the equivalent of 15 million toilet flushes a day. So, that's more than 600 l/hr then. (see post #1) Pressure washers do use less than a standard hose pipe!
  7. What's the normal flow rate of a domestic tap ? 600 l/hr My Karcher only uses 400 l/hr.
  8. I think the last hose pipe ban I was in ~2006 when I lived in Reading, I'm sure I used Sooo much more water using the bucket. Actually, it was technically possible to use the hose pipe to fill the buckets up. I looked a right **** with the hose pipe out to my car and then filling each bucket up, every single time...what a waste of time!! I have a power washer these days so, have the trigger pulled for a shorter period of time. I see they make a good profit each year: http://www.unitedutilities.com/6240.htm
  9. Ban started at 6am today, with only 2 days notice given. "This ban will help us to safeguard essential water supplies to our customers if the drought continues." The water company loses 460million litres a day in leaks. The average four-person household uses 600 litres of water a day. http://www.unitedutilities.com/6539.htm
  10. Cheers Caseys I found this from Apple's store FAQ's: Can I buy an iPhone without an AT&T contract? No. iPhone requires a two-year AT&T wireless service contract. Oh well.
  11. I'll be in the US when the iPhone4 comes on Thursday and thought I might be able to save a few ££ by buying the unit their and then use it with my Orange account when I get back. Does anyone know if the US works like EU in that you just have to get the provider to unlock it for you ? (Assuming that AT&T / Apple store will offer this service as they only have it on the one carrier (AT&T) in US at the moment) Thanks
  12. Cheers Barney, I do need to visit him. Hahah you Animal! Cheers Fizzle, I guess my budget is around £500
  13. I have a fair bit of heavy strimming to do each month, along the outside of the boundary of my property but, 2-3 times a each year, I need to clear (my choice) 1 mile of access road that leads to my property. You can see in the attached photo, that the weeds are now starting to close in on the road and I'm not that happy with the brush scraping down the paintwork of the Eurobox car each day. Not to mention the soop at weekends. I'm in the market for a good brushcutter or semi commercial strimmer as it's clear that the domestic/disposable units Does anyone have any recommendations on make / model ? Here are some of my initial thoughts: >30cc power It has to be a bull / Cow horn handle Should I go 4 stroke or stay with 2 stroke ? Do I need to be concerned with the type and thickness of the shaft ? Make ? Kawasaki, Stihl, Hitachi, Honda, Echo, Sarp, Tanaka etc... Thanks for any info

    Hayfever

    I switched to Levocetirizine 5mg tablet and the fairly new Avamys 27.5 mcg (Fluticasone Furoate) in only the last couple of months and it's like I don't have Hayfever any more. NOT one symptom! I'm alergic to: Grass, Weeds and histamine. HTH
  15. Dude, that's NOT funny!
  16. Hope you don't mind if I post this up, noticed it's a little different but, gives the same data. Costs more at £195 and not sure I like the price of replacement dust caps (£50 e.a) but, thought I'd show it as an alternative. http://www.tyrepal.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/TyrePal-TD1000AX_01.jpg http://www.tyrepal.co.uk/products/tpms-for-cars/tpms-for-cars-specification Note: I don't know this company or have this product or even seen it .
