SMiFFAD

I was trying to do that earlier for something.... great minds Ill have another crack... another one....

Me Im a bored at work graphic designer

how about something simpler.... (depends how they make them - this wont work so well if its cut vinyl, would print well though) Another one attache easy in vinyl...

Honestly speaking... i think their design is pants.... far too fussy! This ones much more on the ball:

*reads links* Makes a little more sense.... so its engineered to be about 2.4% regardless of what happens, the "items" such as fuel, house prices etc that fly up are just moved down the "importance" scale.... So at the top of the list of 650 we have gold plated toilets - probably very price stable, and at the bottom, all the things we actually need day to day. Further confirming our "leaders" are a bunch of gibbons in suits, who'd rather cover up a problem and let it get worse, than face up to it and try and fix it (lets face it a large % of these problems are their doing so i guess thats of little surprise ) Also means most of us on here, who i suppose fall into the "middle class" bracket, are getting about a 7.6% pay DECREASE year on year (if you get an inflation rise) - Joy!

Just having a skim read of some budget news on the BBC website: "On the wider economy, he (Alister Darling) said inflation would rise before returning to its 2% target in 2009 and remain on target thereafter." Now, i was under the impression inflation was basically the cost of living, so there for the % rise to cost of living per year. This would be why many people tend to get a yearly statutory pay rise of inflation %. So how if fuels risen by about 10-20%, foods risen something like 10%, housings gone mental, energy costs rose 15% at the end of last year alone..... can inflation be anything near 2%?! Someone on here must know the in's and out's of it? Explain to the thicky in the corner (me)

Yes... i can happily circumnavigate my entire flat in a decent length conversation Christ knows why though,,, maybe men thing better when they are moving?

I was reading something on the Times this morning: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article3338076.ece and now this seems to be worthy of some further investigation: (especially as i HATE being advertised at, and am a VM customer)

Am ineterested in the first cat, i need one to get mine MOT'd Would you be willing to post it (quite quick? ) obviously ill vcoevr the cost and add some beer tokens

Was going to say... they arnt SUNNY colours in the middle.... Bye bye manchester!

Your windscreen is actually a large loadbearing part of your car, i cant see how your not completly within your rights to insist they use OEM parts And i beleiev all glass has to have atleast the kite mark from a legal stand point, surly? Its like having your genuine TAG watch stolen and them telling you to buy a dodgy fake down the market and send them the bill Trying to think who did the screen in my sx, sure it wasn autoglass but elephant got them to do it, proper screen with proper nissan seals as well!

Im currently (and have been for the last 7 years) rebuilding a 1981 Series 3 Landrover.... its taking its time as it lives at my parents, and i only get back for the odd weekend Once done it will be bright yellow, topless, massive tyres off my old defender, roll cage, bull bars etc etc ... summer toy I had considered popping a supra engine in it, but teh brakes and chassis would need to much work its not practical Summer 2020 maybe Before that i spent a year rebuilding the engine in my mr2 after i mutilated two bottom end shells caining it round castle combe. Hatefull cars to work on!

Have you tried elephant - as long as your cars not overly modded they tend to be good. Got my renerwal through from them yesterday and for the first time in my insuring life i was pleasently surprised, it was £100 less than getting a new quote with them! (i have age/NCB/Area on my side a little more than you though)

If hes hitting 20 psi: 1) its going to go bang uness hes done a lot of work to it or 2) his boost gauge is lieing - boost cut is reliably on the nose of 1 bar (14psi) no way a standard car could make 20psi.

Nope - unless your running a really free flowing exhaust, and depending on how and iff your controlling your boost. If your running standard boost, no problem, decat and forget. If your running anything near a bar, you may hit boost cut on cold day or if you suddenly floor it, due to less resistance in the exhaust it can boost spike. Even then you dont need a ring, just wind the boost down a touch. Whats the spec of the sx? s13/14/a? full decat or just one?

completly off topic... but i have the same slippers Good taste that man

How many different shades of illegal is that?

Sounds like a plan, bit of a treck from Boxhill to bolney though, must be a more boxhill local pub (if anyone has any room after the burgers )

Tis a good plan.... infact i already have a SMiFFAD plate, i had it made at JAE about 5 years ago Must dig it out for the next SEM Also has the added bonus of covering your plate up in photos. You were the only person i recognised by their car... as id been studying your wheels

If you have legs, not much, about enough to fit the t-bar glass in. i had a sub behind one of mine, so you get about 6" gap i spose. The rear boot is nice an deep, which its one saving grace, as the fuel tanks in the middle of the car, unlike the supra that has it, well practically in the boot

They arnt great to be honest. I missed having the back seats, at least with the supra you have the option to fold someone up in the back, with the mr2 two peeps and your done. The front "boot" space will fit about 2 tesco bags in, the backs bigger but i dont think youd get your golf clubs in there, its about 45-50cm's front to back, about the same depth and the width of the car. They are good at that they were designed for, poncing about in the sun or thrashing around a track - a proper "sports" car. If you want to take the dog to the vets or go on holiday with more than hand luggage - FAIL! i believe is the phrase the kids are now useing Having said that i managed to live with mine for about a year as my only car, and i survived!

You look like your coming down with man flu.... on about the 21st

Good program this, first intelligent thing ive seen on telly for ages Takes a brave man to disprove pretty much every main stream religion, bet he is loved by the pope! It wasnt a miricle.. it was a black hole

Welcome to Backwards land, formerly Great Britain

Shame those in power dont have the sence to see whats infront of their nose! Fuel is a finite resourse, and we do need to try and find a way of lowering our use, but taxing everyone to death and not offering a viable alternative isnt the way. The way i look at it - if i can drive my supra back to my folks (120 miels each way) CHEPAER than getting a train, then something is very wrong! If they can't tempt me, what chance to they stand with the diesel/small car brigade! Government policy: "right chaps we have a problem - who can we tax or what can we ban to make it look like were trying to sort it?"
