  1. I have metal (aluminium) pressed plates on my other car and they are reflective and have the correct spacing and font, they've passed the last 2 MoT's as well. Got them from here: Ebay
  2. Couldn't have been the JDM one then, it would've taken 20 minutes to get out!
  3. Sounds like an auto being badly changed 'manually'! Especially towards the end of the clip.
  4. Are you Constable Benton Fraser by some strange co-incidence?
  5. The last pic is definitely deer foot prints, I get them in my garden a lot in winter. Deer can easily jump a 6' fence from standing and can jump 15' to 20' with very little run up. There are small herds of dear that live around the urban motorways of Glasgow, so I don't think there are many places they won't go to when they're hungry.
  6. I used to be into SLR photography back in the day, and the hot shoe was the way that the flash gun was triggered by the camera, not powered by it. Flashguns usually have AA batteries or rechargeable packs. As to a modern recommendation, I'll leave that to someone else!
  7. My District Nurse wife says you should phone the doctors and arrange an appointment ASAP! Is it fresh blood or like coffee granules?
  8. Disastrous things, what with the condensation and fumes. If you're heating people get a halogen heater, they use radiant heat. If you're heating the room, use a convector heater.
  9. They're summer tyres mate, I have them on my Smart roadster! They have no grip
  10. Ford Cortina Mark III, 2.0 GL in yellow with rostyles.
  11. It's a low slung car, so like the Supra, it isn't easy to enter/exit with dignity! I've had it 5 1/2 years, it has the same fun factor you use to get with the original Mini or Imp, but faster and more comfy! :-)
  12. Wrong and wrong! I hate the Fortwos, the diesels get around 65mpg and the petrols around 45mpg. I have the Smart Roadster Coupe and it will average 48 - 55 mpg. The six plugs for it were under £30, but fitting them is a different matter!
  13. What, like these? My mother in law wrote off her Daihatsu Charade by confusing the big rectangular brake pedal with the teeny weeny throttle pedal on her automatic! Both airbags deployed and only cracked ribs. The kitchen units and white goods were bounced 500mm out from the wall, the Cedar built house absorbed most of the impact! Fortunately it was her own house. There is a small Supra link to this, after taking the photos, I used my Supra to pull the wee Daihatsu out from the wall, it pulled it easily at tick over, no throttle required!
  14. If your stuck I have a cloth covered drivers seat which I could strip off the subframe for, but I think the postage may be heavy and expensive. If you lived nearer you could have it for nowt.
  15. Worth watching just to see the gorgeous Ornella Muti.
  16. 'Free' public education paid for by taxation, has been a cornerstone of Scottish education since 1616, so it's not a recent invention and has little to do with devolution. There are many times more uni students now than when I left school in the early 80's and given that the 3 clericals in my work are all graduates doesn't make me think much of the value of their higher education. I can only speak from a Scottish perspective, but I think that we should revert to a grant system for certain vocational degrees such as medicine, nursing, law, engineering etc. We should have a limited number of means tested grants for Arts degrees, so that only the most talented get the grants. Uni's and colleges can then sell off whatever capacity they have on a loan based system to the rest of the potential under graduates. Schools desperately need to encourage the uptake of a proper trade education. We should emulate the German system of having Professor Engineers and allowing mechanics, joiners and other trades, the ability to take recognised and respected qualifications that close the gap on the class differences that are evident between graduates and tradesmen.
  17. My Supra has gone nowhere for 10 days, so it's not a worry for me!
  18. An iTouch and a set of Toyo TR-1s for her Del Sol! Who says romance is dead?
  19. No such thing as the supernatural, it's a total load of shite!
  20. Football is a world game, there is no reason why it should go to any country that held it before. Btw, it was an England bid, not a British or UK bid as Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales have their own football teams. If it really cost £430 million to make a bid (ie, the cost of a large new hospital) then someones head should role for wasting obscene amounts of money when England is already getting the Olympics in 2012. For those of you who think that England has the 21st century infrastructure which allows the large movement of fans from venue to venue, wake up and smell the coffee!
  21. England didn't get chosen to host the World Cup, because no one in the world likes you! Well, someone had to tell you!
  22. I thought the Prince Andrew revelations were going to reveal his 'real' sexual inclinations. What about Quadafi, he has a busty Ukrainian 'nurse' that he gets jiggy with? Not exactly earth shattering stuff so far!
  23. I thought he was great in everything from the film The Forbidden Planet (acting straight) to Due South. Police Squad was a phenomenon, it's one of life's great mysteries why there were only ever 6 episodes. For my generation it was more significant than Monty Python. RIP to the master of deadpan delivery.
