  1. I've only tried the Tassimo as far as the instant machine things go. I'm guessing they are all the same though and they do make a fantastic cup of coffee. The only downside is I've gotten too used to it lol. I really want a bean to cup coffee maker. The only trouble is I don't really drink enough coffee to justify it, especially in the house. We have a couple at the main site in work (I work on a different site) and when I'm there I always make a point of getting a cuppa as it's fantastic. Can you make a proper cup of coffee with the espresso stuff or is it for shots only?
  2. As above. It's brand new, I took it out of my unused steering wheel and replaced it with a TRD one. £30 posted
  3. Sounds good to me, that's all I'm after really. I know I'm not going to get the flavour of a proper coffee but the best of the bad will probably be good enough for the house
  4. I've not drank instant coffee for a few years. I'm not a big coffee drinker, and I'm certainly not a snob when it comes to the stuff, but I do enjoy the Tassimo Kenco Colombian T-Disc variety. I have had various coffee makers over the years and I found the difference between me making a proper coffee and these T-Disc things to be very small (The diffefence in hassle is huge though). The strength and flavour is fantastic, however this instant stuff now tastes like dishwater in comparison. I really don't remember it tasting this bad Anyway, it got me thinking. Are there any good instant coffees? As I say I'm not expecting a full bean rich flavour, just better than the nescafe dross that I'm currently forcing down. I don't mind paying a little bit extra for a decent instant. My tassimo is in work, as that's where I drink most of my coffee, so short of buying another machine I'm stuck with instant.
  5. This has been going on up here for a year or 2. I know my Wife got it done last year, and I don't think it was a new thing when she did.

    tt oil cap

    Sorry mate, I assumed you had one as you didn't reply. I found mine, £5 posted?
  7. Looks miles better with those wheels off it. Trial rear is a nice touch to finish off the look
  8. I was in 2 minds whether to go with red stitching or not with regards to the seats. Decided against it in the end and just went with the logo.... http://www.mkivsuprastar.com/Supra/Interior/IMG_5365-1000.jpg I'm only using the red as an accent for certain areas so I don't want to go OTT on it. This is what my mats look like. I hope Dan doesn't mind me using his picture as I don't actually have one lol.
  9. I'm really happy with it Abz, I had my fingers crossed when I ordered the horn that it would fit. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't direct by any means but it didn't take a lot to get it right. The colour combo is coming along nicely. I'm going to see the world in black and red soon
  10. TRD horn arrived today, looks great IMO. Typically it wasn't a straight forward fit. The hole had to be opened out slightly in order to stop the horn from fouling. Very nice bit of kit, genuine TRD too.
  11. The girl I couldn't remember is Rhona Mitra
  12. The one from the original game will always be special as that is where it all began so I would have to say her in this case. I remember a computer magazine interviewing one of the Lara's, I can't remember her name but IIRC her Father performed her *ahem* cosmetic surgery. Angelina Jolie is always a hell yeah and the one in Dexter gets a definite honourable mention due to being so foxy though.
  13. What a job this wrapping stuff is. Horrible stuff to work with. I had to remove the old crispy stuff before applying the new stuff. It was brittle and turning to dust as I touched it, the room I am working in was just filled with the stuff (no mask, oops). After removing it I decided it was time to put a long sleeved jacket on. Applying the stuff wasn't quite so bad as I had pre-soaked it to make it a little easier to work with but I'm still shining like an 80s glitterball. Anyone any recommendations for getting this stuff off? I've tried an airline, washing, sellotape, shaking my clothes and shouting at it. I'm still sparkling lol. To top it all off I didn't have enough to do the downpipe. I BARELY had enough to do the manifold. Need to get another roll of the stuff to do the DP. Just the one dodgy pic from my phone...
  14. Try holding in the power button to turn the data off quickly
  15. Absolute bargain that, who made the manifold? Or is quickspool the name rather than the characteristic?
  16. There we go Charlotte... http://images.zaazu.com/img/vomit-girl-vomit-puke-sick-smiley-emoticon-000651-large.gif
  17. I can't bud, I've spent all the money I have at the moment unfortunately. I've actually got parts on hold till the end of the month for when I get paid so I'm actually into minus figures at the moment lol. I'm looking to buy the ECU around Christmastime unfortunately Cheers for the heads up on your Toyota dealer. I think I've got everything I need now but if I do come across anything I'll definitely give you a shout. Cheers
  18. Getting the shims from Mr T (had a phone call today) so that I can get the head finished. I'm hoping to wrap the manifold and downpipe today too
  19. Other than the sidelights not being there everything else is the same

    MOT Advice

    Personally I would just let them put it as miles. As long as you have the documents to back up everything you don't need to worry when it comes to selling on. My car is at 78k and now reads in miles. It came over with 58kms on it. I don't have any problems with saying this to any potential buyer (not that I'll be selling) and I don't think they would have any issues with that being the case. In most ads you will see that the mileage reads xxx but xx is kms and xx is miles.
  21. 10 a penny mate. Get yourself some ones needing a refurb. You will pick them up easily for less than £50. Get a front refurb kit and get them mint.... job done. You'll pick up £300 for your UKs in the process
  22. Either that or a getout clause for when they don't fit on the front I think you will be OK bud. The Jspecs are quite small, the design should be OK for the overall diameter. The distance between the spokes and the face of the caliper can always be altered with spacers
  23. That is a fantastic video, for all the wrong reasons. The earthquake at the beginning really made me feel uneasy, I've never experienced anything like that before and I have always found it hard to imagine what it would be like. Almost seeing it first hand brought home just how it would make you feel. The time it took for the water to envelop the area is very scary. I can't imagine how those people must have felt witnessing that. At first I would feel that it would be best to jump out and head for a building, looking at what happened though it's a very hard situation to judge.
