Perhaps a cheeky little trip down memory lane - 650bhp anyone? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=173488&highlight=650bhp

Fair enough, however most people on here have not gone down that route. They seem to go for the single set up. If I wanted another 150-200bhp etc, I'd be thinking going single, and not hybrid twins

In the real world, you're not really going to get 6oobhp from twins. Why do you want 600bhp?

What a lovely looking machine Ed. Perhaps you will get a mate to film you flying her?

Why not? This reminds of the passenger who took pictures of his ghastly Virgin Airline meal and emailed them to Branson, who to be fair, publically made the whole email available. Edit: oh look, here's that thread: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=175217&highlight=branson

The 3 star Michelin chef was probably just having a bad day. Did you have an apple pie for afters?

I don't mind the £12 per month - if I could be arsed to use freeview, I'd probably ditch Sky+ - it's just I do like my Sky+ I don't even have the film or sports channels, but I occassionaly make use of their Box office movie channels. So £12 per month verses Mr Murdock's offerings?

It's almost like you have a crystal ball.

I don't know.

Not entirely true, but I know what you mean

Wow. News just in... http://news.uk.msn.com/odd-news/article.aspx?cp-documentid=149868327

From yahoo news...http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20090921/tuk-tv-licence-evaders-bizarre-excuses-r-45dbed5.html More than 280,000 fee evaders were caught in the first eight months of the year. A TV Licensing spokesman said the range of reasons given by people when inquiry officers called ranged from the "sublime to the ridiculous". The organisation has published 10 of the most bizarre explanations given by people as reasons for not paying. Top of the list was "a pigeon fell down the chimney and broke the aerial so I have bad reception". Another excuse was: "I've not been making payments as a baby magpie flew into my house and I had to stay in and feed it until it was ok." And one telly addict suggested the pet dog was the only viewer and so should not have to pay. The spokesman said: "It's been a top year for tall tales. "Family members and the animal kingdom are among those that make an appearance in this year's list, as heard by TV Licensing's inquiry officers. "From the sublime to the ridiculous, licence dodgers from all across the UK have been particularly inventive in their attempts to avoid paying their TV Licence." He warned those watching television without a licence were breaking the law and faced a fine of up to £1,000. TV Licensing's top 10 excuses: 1. "A pigeon fell down the chimney and broke the aerial so I have bad reception." 2. "My 11-year-old son must have bought the TV during the night. It wasn't there when I went to bed." 3. "My payment card's been stuck in the washing machine so I can't pay." 4. "I've not paid due to my shop only accepting £5 and £10 notes and I haven't got any of those." 5. "I've not been making payments as a baby magpie flew into my house and I had to stay in and feed it until it was ok." 6. "I only use the TV to keep the horses company and one of them is blind so I should only pay half if I have to pay at all." 7. "I can't get the TV out of the box - can you help me?" 8. "My dog watches it when I'm at work to keep him company - not me." 9. "My mum told me to tell you she's not in." 10. "I've not bought a licence as I dreamt I didn't have to and the saying is you've to follow your dreams."

Just a small sample of their work: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=197814

Excellent work gentlemen - I award you both a prize. And micheal, chin up, I think you really came through there for the team, despite the odds and training injuries.

My drummer has a 1997 Astra, and his kit is rather large. I have a '97 Astra 1.7Tdi (for my bass gear etc, see my garage etc) I paid £700 just over 2 years ago for it. It does all the gigs brilliantly. By chance we both have the maroony colour, so it's a bit sad when the rhythm section turn up together in these purple astras - still, it's a great car.

Michael/Thorin, perhaps you'd care to wait for me to boil the kettle. I always like to cover my keyboard and screen in hot coffee. It would mean a lot.

Have you seen this one? He might drop the price a bit. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=197692

Could you make the bear infiltrate the picture in a subte way? You know - so as not to be silly.

Ouch. What a snob. He doesn't deserve any wildlife anyway.

I'm imagining a tiger and perhaps a cheeky leopard? I fear you can't reproduce that level of work?

Or your neighbours hate you.

No Actually I haven't seen him round my way cruising the mean streets of Watford in his batmobile lately.

If only Carl S was here to answer your questions. But he's away on a retreat.

It's an under-sea volcano to be fair

Whereabouts? NE coast, north of Kalami? - I'm thinking near Lord Rothschild's superb cliff top estate?
