I got the top of range Toshiba LCD 42Z3030D before Xmas. Picture on SD and HD is awsome. its one of the best TVs you can buy for the money, spec is awsome and picture superb. The shop below has it at a very good price. http://www.hienergyshop.co.uk/CatalogManagement/ProductDetails.aspx?productCode=44860714(Base)&category=LCD(Base)&action=browse

Id just like to post my thanks to Razza for a free martial Arts lesson last night. If anyones seen his profile, you will notice that he runs a Russian Martial Arts session called "Systema". I took him up on his offer of a free first lesson (and gave him a lift to Maidenhead in my very slow N/A, which at present is much faster than his very broken TT) On the way we tried to work out what was rattling in the rear left quarter of my Supe, as it has been bugging me for months and despite several attempts at suspension fixes, new boot rubbers, bodykit mods etc the rattle remains. He thought it was a rubbing wheel on the arch but i disagreed and continue my search to fix it. I was thinking that the session would be a lot of training and not much contact, especially on the first lesson, but a quick conversation with him made me think otherwise and i started to pap my pants. We arrive, and go into the hall where many of the regulars are rolling around on the floor practicing falling without hurting themselves and generally warming up. Not sure what to make of this me thinks. We start with very slow press ups, sit ups, squats etc (very very very slow). This was breeze for me as i train regularly so im OK at this point. We start the lesson with a pretty large fella (another trainer like Razza) elbowing and kicking Razza, and it looked like it hurt quite a bit. He was demonstrating how and where to kick to get someone down (not as simple as in the Bol**ks). We all had a go on pads then we moved onto each other. Luckily for me there wasnt too much "hurty" type contact as the idea is to practice in slow motion on your opponent to work out how they fall, and then how you would need to move whilst they are going down, so as to incapacitate them even more, and win. The trainers make it look so easy. They hardly touch you and your on the floor (i was incapacitated with 2 fingers at one point - no it wasnt that type of session before you ask!!! The fingers were carefully placed on some pressure point under my chin which hurt like hell) All in all, it was very very good and enjoyable, and i learnt a lot. Its a very very good way of learning to defend yourself. Now for those of you who have met Razza, you will know that hes not the biggest fella about (tall, but not massive), a nice fella who doesnt act in any way threatening , but one piece of advice after seeing him doing his martial arts the other night, is dont get into a fight with him, you will lose. Many thanks Razza, i would recommend this to anyone and will probably attend again in future.

Nice bike. What happened to the Chrome though. I though all these bikes were full of chrome. Looks identical to one a gut at work has, but his has tons of chrome on it.

I love it. For 25K what other cars could you get though ? Certainly nothing new at 25K is as nice or a fast. Modified, i think Jurgens old RX 7 is for sale and that is gorgeous (i think 21K and they owners says its now a ten second car - originally 11secs)

Sounds mad stuff to do in advance, but i suppose thats what you need to do on they day to get through. It would be by far the hardest thing ive ever done. Many years ago i "almost" got onto Gladiators (last 100 men out of 15,000 entrants and they needed 50 so i was somewhere between 50 and 1 off). A few years back i did the Reading Half Marathon as well, but ive not done anything that hard for a while now. I better get training.

Which is the correct model number of Optima red or yellow top to use in my supe (93 N/A 5 speed manual - not sure if that makes any difference). Will it need any modification of the battery holder to fit ?

Im pretty sure i know what the answer is going to be her, BUT. Do you have to remove the brakes themselves to do this or is it easy enough just leaving them on as they are ? Obviously for a propper job it should all nbe dismantled, but is it easy enough without doing that ? When i got my car over 16months ago the calipers still had the original silver paint on them, latley this has come off and theyve started to rust. Is much prep required ? can it be done by hand ?

Well done fella, that must take some doing. Im well up for this for next year, its something to really get working hard for. Ive just got back into the gym after a few years off (3 kids). Having said that, its only when you said it was 8 miles that i thought i may be up for it. In the training section of the website it recommends running 25miles with 14Kg on your back. At that stage i thought no way, not enough time or motivation, but 8 miles is more like it (i apprechiate those obsticles will make it more like 16miles though)

I have an N/A supe (5 speed) and a lot of male pride, and i wouldnt be foolish enough to think that it was under 6 seconds. Nearer 7 even possibly past 7secs. Get the launch correct and it may well be mid 6secs but 0 tp 60 is very changable

No

Not sure what should go a a 6 inch wheel but i know that the correct size for an 8.5inch wheel is 235 for a 9.5 inch wheel it is 265 or 275, but i currently have 295s on a 9.5inch wheel so you can get bigger tyres on them

I thought they were M4, but im sure Chris is correct as he has far more experience than me. Screwfix sell them stainless for peanuts. You can get a bag of 10 for about £1

Yep MPG is between 18 and 24 although mine was 14 once (possibly O2 sensors need changing)

How do they get them off ?

With so many people with bad feedback, maybe these people should go to watchdog in their masses and we will see the company on TV publicaly humiliated

yep there are and they are illegal. BUT, back to my original point. Is it legal to stick random numbers and letters all over the back of a car to somehow try and disguise the true plate ? Would this confuse ANPR ? Can you display the correct plate and also some ones that dont relate to the car ?

Ive tried but you have to have at least 50 posts and have been a member for 60 days so im on a waiting game and posting every now and again. (must admit, i might get a punto GT as a run around - i used to have an uno turbo and it was good fun)

Now edited to include more information

Thanks for adding the pics fella

he just said "Its definatley got no head" He spends 10Hours a day looking for dead animals This gets better

Those 1.3 starlets are seriously quick. Will keep up with an N/A supe as standard (not sure about top end though), and blow one away when tuned.

I know im only joking. Wheels are about as far as i would go i think

There is an excellent TT conversion available. It looks great in the magazines.

Yep, but manners dont cost anything
