    One of four official Top Gear Stigs.
  2. I love them. Finding a solid one can be a serious challenge. Would you be looking for an original one, a project or modify one using modern components? There was a Super Samurai in the Silverstone Auctions at the show. https://www.silverstoneauctions.com/1973-datsun-240z-super-samuri
  3. I think it depends how the glass has split/cracked. I was told last time I had this done it was mostly important to just get the resin to fill the hole and permeate into the whole crack to prevent it spreading. It's rarely 'invisible'.
  4. Superb show again! It's huge and so much to look at, nice people to chat with and things to learn. The hard work and dedication by Ian and Jak once again shone through doing a sterling job of representing the club. Really great catching up with people. We both felt rough this morning and had to shoot back, sorry we didn't get to see anyone for breakfast.

    I'm really trying...but still finding it so hard to love the 911...except the ones I have no hope of ever affording.
  6. You've barely given him chance to put his slippers on. Give him time. A bit like Brexit hasn't actually happened yet and people are saying "it's not as bad as you doom sayers were saying". I was encouraged at their idea to review all their trade agreements at the same time as we are however, should make it easier for the UK. Do any of you listen to The Now Show? I think you'd enjoy it, very amusing. The latest episode had a Russian lady who had some interesting observations regarding Putin. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qgt7/episodes/player Oh...and most tech industries are down for some reason whilst Oil, coal and other industries are up as people try to figure out what his manifesto is more likely to promote. Great for Vicki!
  7. Bizarre. Surely they'd be able to get a backup online within a few hours? Unless their web guys are really negligent.
  8. Heh - tongue in cheek...but worth asking. Might do it in the Tiger depending on weather.
  9. I think he's going to be great for America. The more I think about it, the more I'm persuading myself we need a Trump. Kick out the politicians and put someone at the top with some business sense and a total distain for political correctness and political sensitivities.
  10. If you can persuade them to offer a 20% discount I'll come.

  12. All sounds sensible. I'd get all that done and then see how you feel about it. HIDs a good call this time of year. Getting the lenses machine polished may help to restore them and let the light through.
  13. Hey chaps, I've managed to break the covers off the two coat hooks that attach the inner panels to the sides at the rear. Struggling to find the part number for them. Anyone care to help me out? Ta.
  14. Both appear far from an ideal choice. One of the many scary things about Trump is that he's going to find the world of politics very different to the business world where he would be used to telling somebody to do something and they do it. In politics he'll have congress and members of his own party to keep him in check from doing anything ridiculous like building the wall to Mexico. That will undoubtedly lead to frustration. Frustration leads to irrational behaviour. I suspect he'll have a certain set of boundaries of what he feels are acceptable, if those boundaries are crossed he'll behave in a strongly opinionated manner....possibly not the best person to be handling the straining relationships with Russia then. At least we have a fair idea of what Clinton wants to do and how she'll behave, with Trump it's a bit of a mystery.
  15. 1. TrickTT + 1 2. ShawnPreece (possibly plus 1 I shall see ) 3. Axl and the trouble and strife 4. Pete + Vicki
  16. Anyone ever bothered to look at what makes these things tick? (ha....ha....) Mine still illuminates, but if I hold the + or - I hear a clicking, but the hands no longer turn. Weird thing is that it happened after I'd let the battery go flat. Can't see the relevance myself but thought I'd mention it. I guess I could try changing the big cap...not sure what else to try.
  17. For some reason the hands on mine no longer go round. Anyone got one kicking about?
  18. If it depreciates...lease it. If it appreciates...buy it. To learn the true meaning of what is an investments and how rich people think: Rich Dad, Poor Dad (e.g. the house you're living in is not an investment)
  19. "Enterprise level" - sounds like marketing BS, but please send me details of what you do. I'm on the lookout for a genuine white hat SEO/online marketing partner for our clients.
