    how are ya

    Drunk Thanks for asking
  2. Could be some kind of ground loop or something. I think thats basicly noise picked up from other things grounded through the chassis. You can get ground loop isolators for a few quid from places like maplins that connect between the headunit and the amps audio cable that might help. I had this problem on my old car when i had a pc hooked up to the Aux input - ground loop isolator fixed it good and proper.
  3. My personal favorite bit of bell endery, is that its neigh on impossible to get insured for the test driving of private sale vehicles for someone under the age of 25. So me being the law abiding kinda guy i am end up buying from dealers all the time. Between them, the insurance companies and the government, I have developed a bad back from bending over so much.

  5. I quess that would be the one advantage to hanging out with quadriplegics
  6. How the dickens did you fit three people in the thing?!
  7. I think I've met this car at an mx5nutz meet at a pub in Slindon back when I had my eunos maybe 18months ago? It was a very nice looking car.
  8. Not sure I spotted yours - where abouts were you?
  9. Just looking back at some of the old threads and its giving me an idea why I didn't see more there, but I did spot a couple - a black one I think de-spoilered and I'm sure there was a white one knocking about somewhere - anyone from here? I was there with the r/c car guys so didn't get around much, plus that amount of sun hurts my head so spent a fair bit of time hiding from it! We were there in 2007 and had to camp with the general public... would never want to do that again, luckily this year we were able to camp next to our arena like the traders. The two areas are worlds apart in the evenings, we didn't get stabbed or anything!
  10. It is helpful, just helpful to the supra owners not the TVR owner.
  11. Well I guess it saves the load the alternator would be putting on the engine but for the amount of braking you do, its still gash
  12. My brother had his Golf F**ked over last year. Nov 5th - some oiks smashed his rear window and when no one came to look they chucked a couple of lit fireworks inside the car. Its the worst kind of anger as there's sod all you can do with it, no one to let it out on. Hope she got some cash from the media bar steward types, though I would have thought she might be making a bigger target of her car by doing so
  13. Hello, I reckon I've seen you on the avenue in Southampton once or twice? I will have been in the boring estate on my way home from work though!
  14. I drive a kia. Though it only feels slower after about 40mph. bleedin modern TDIs. On a related note, I fancy a TT, anyone want a kidney? good rates. Or some very mediocre sperm? High quantities available.

    Speedo Stuck

    Mine did this just after I got the car. Fresh import so had a new speedo face put on to convert it to MPH. It wasnt stuck down too well so the needle got stuck on the card where it was raised slightly. I ended up taking the card off and adding a small drop of super glue to keep it from lifting off the dial, but then I had the fun of putting the needle back on in the correct place. You might be able to stick it down without needing to take the needle off though, it just means removing the instrument cluster from the dash.
  16. Sounds like a plan, get on http://www.rc-extreme.co.uk, its a little quiet at the mo, but you should find it gets any answers you need
  17. The 23-29cc ones found in 1/5th scale r/c cars seem to have a range of about 2k to 20k rpm or there abouts, so perhaps in that sort of range?
  18. 4 or 5 sentences in one there - value for money
  19. Also make try setting to a low resolution before you plug it in, as it may be too high a res or refresh rate.
  20. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hampshire/7957954.stm "Residents are being told to keep windows shut."
  21. My bro is about to scrap a '94 polo coupe, but its got no exhast from the manifold back, not alot of interior left and is missing a few things like front indicators. Rest of the car is solid, and is a runner with an exhaust. No idea what you want it for, but i have no doubt he would take £50 for it if you collected it! Its in southampton.
  22. Everything in GTA IV can be tweaked now, same was as in SA, VC and gta3, just this time you need to get one file modded to bypass a file check thats done on the .dat files before the game loads GTA is always more fun when the modding and sodding starts
  23. For that money, I would buy a beautiful woman and make love to that instead.
