  1. Depending on where you live obviously... but from today onwards looks to be getting better At least theres no rain forcast! I have a shoot on sunday, and the last two have been pooring with rain, and rain doesnt stop play for us archers, you just get wet! JAE will be warm and sunny... thining positivly
  2. Our great dane used to "sleep run", you soon learnt not to sit on the floor by the sofa he was laying on, legs flailing all over the place! Id imagine being woken up from a good rabbit chase to a dog, is similar to you being woken up whilst dreaming about being in bed with your favorite person... youd probably bite
  3. Seen you many a time in crawley as i drive to work, waved at each other, anyone on here?
  4. Is it the one with a veilside wing? Ive seen it about as well, no idea who it is....
  5. Might aid your sale if you could give a rough idea of draw length and weight, as compounts tent to be a very tailored thing
  6. Probably due to environmental and market pressures. they will make more money from selling millions of little eco green slow cars, they wont make as much from smaller numbers of socially unacceptable supra types of car, id image. The last mr2 and celica wern't exactly great either

    scoob to supra tt

    A-men to that. I always swore blind id never own an auto car... but here i am its just the same as having a manual, just you dont have to do that aggrivating thing of moveing any of your left hand extreimities, so much more relaxing. Plant your foot however, and no turbo stall and millisecond gear changes hoist you up and away before most manual drivers have even thought about pressing the clutch (slight over exxageration but good for effect ) They do take some getting used to, ive had mine since march and im still getting the full feel of it, but once you learn how it reacts, where the various changes are etc its awsome. Its a very clever box that seems to adapt to the way you drive very well, something ive never experienced with other autos.

    Road rage

    If they intentionally barged into me then probably.... if it was an accident then fair enough, but its hard to be a prat whilst driving "accidently" The bloke accidently tailgated me through a built up 30 area, then got the hump when i disapeared on a duel carrage way, followed by accidently over taking a stationary car with no space in front of it, nearly hitting me and the poor sod infront of me, just to try and proove a point, how dare i assume hes a W*****er I do see yer point though, i get a lot of middle lane drivers throwing spastic fits at me when i slowey drift past them on the inside (when were the only two cars on motorways normally... its times like that, when you know damn well your not int he wrong, prople should keep their traps shut. However, if it quacks and swims in puddles, its a fair guess its a duck and needs calling one Basically they are bullies with something to proove.

    Road rage

    Thats what ive always tried to do, mainly because i have the stature of a matchstick Can anyone find out peoples details from a number plate? I want to see how far a diesel astra can go with no oil in it

    Road rage

    For 2 weeks after the above happened my 3 foot breaker bar got to ride shot gun with me... just incase i stumbled across him again, was also very wary of walking to and from my car, as he said he knew where i lived!! If your nuts enought o stop a cue of morning traffic to have a fight, who knows what else your capable of! All else fails there two bows in my boot most of the time Trouble is... if you get physically threatened, and club someone with what ever, dumbell bar, breaker bar etc... whos going to come off worse ultimatly?! He will probably sue you and youll end up in jail

    Road rage

    I had a similar thing the other week. Driving to work and he was tail gating me all the way from my house to the second set of lights, where he sits in the outside lane. Him being in an astra and me in the supra, i both got away quicker and was faaaaar in the distance along a short duel carage way, back onto single road...... where i meet traffic. Astra over takes me (bearing in mind were stationary and forces his way infront of me (rather pointless, dangerous and probably illegal monover?!) I like you gave him the universal "your an inbred chump" symbol, to which he jumps out and asks if id like a ruck on the grass next to us (surrounded by morning commuters - bright spark!) Hurls lots of abuse and tells me he knows where i live. I just sat there and smiled, looked at my watch, looked at him again, rested my head on my arm as if board Once he was going again i took a lovely photo of the back of his car.... which i havent found a use for yet, but i may rent a silver astra for a day, get some plates made up and drive round london all day Makes you wonder what makes people tick.
  12. JAE doth rock Ill make sure i swing buy and say hello, probably drunk and in a silly hat (club im going with's tradition )
  13. That makes me quite scared to ever be caught in a fire Its at points where you start risking EVERYONES safety in the persute of balancing the books, peoples heads need banging together to get some sense back into things. Take that lass on Big Brother who dared to say the "N" word... why on gods earth is it acceptable for a black person to say it, and not a white person, if its offensive its offencive from who ever says it surly!! regardless of race, colour, height, sexual orientation, religious believes of hair colour Worlds gown mad!
  14. Doesnt sound too bad, i paid £5.5k for mine, BUT Rust patch needed sorting, (did myself ~£30) 70K miles Cam belt needed doing, (DIY, £28) VSS's need doing. (yet to do) No sterio or rear speakers (although i didnt know about the rear speakers untill i found (or didnt in this case) them.) I bought it as a bit of a project though
  15. Combination of bad weather, and the fact it clashed with about 3 other car events didnt help. I was shooting on sunday anyway so i couldnt go.

    flare

    Same i found it hiding under the passenger seat while i was hanging upside down trying to sort out the amp wiring, the urge to let it off was far to great to overcome
  17. oh i seeeeeee *runs out with camera* riiiight then... 3 photos, one from the side and top showing where the water drops (right on the belt) and one of the bottom of the bonnet, note the lovely fiberglassing job, as the latches were about to fall out when i got it!! Simplest way as there isnt a lot of room looks to be to block the middle long vent up - after all its not critical to the running/performance of the car.
  18. Do you mean mine? Photo of it on the car:
  19. The day saxos/novas/corsas started having VS "style" kits, is the day it died
  20. Ahh but that was designed by people with sence.... Mines a Abflug (sp?) copy, withthe main vent being RIIIIIIIIIIGHT over the aux belt First time i brake on a wet morning, it all floods in and the sqeeking starts.
  21. If i had the standard bonnet, id have put it on the day i got the car, the GRP ones in a sorry state, me and a friend had to hack the underside of it up and re-glass it to get it to stay attached to the car (think its flown up on someone before and been badly repaired - not on my car luckaly!) Have to go with what ive got for now though Spose i could always cover the centre vent. Black bit of plastic on the inside you wouldnt even notice!
  22. at least it seems im not alone! might have to get busy at the weekend with some old yogart pots and fairy bottles, blue peter stylee Suppose literrally a streight bit under the bonnet just to pass the rain over the belts and down behind the rad would do the trick... My carbon bonnet on the sx never did this, but it was a bit further forward than the belts
  23. Does anyone have a problem with water going through said vents, onto the fan belt and making it squeek like a stuck pig? Every time it rains i have to drive to work with it squeeling, i know its not doing any damage (its not slipping as such its just where it makes contact with the pullys, like wearing trainers on a shiney floor!) but its really embarresing as it sounds to joe public as if my cars about to blow up. Ive though about adding a bit of "guttering" under my main vent, to channel the water away, any other suggestions and am i the only one with this problem?
