Do you have UK-spec brakes? As I was looking at a set of these and was informed they wouldn't fit without spacers *EDIT* Doh! Should look at your profile, you do have UK-spec brakes... are you using spacers to fit the wheels on?

PM'd

Either buy the arms off Nic, don't go to Toyota - I think the arms were about £140 ish each for the upper arms. Or you can import the bushes from mvpmotorsport.com - part R2R 800-CA200 - £130 for the entire bush set. Or yes, go see CW, as I intend to sometime

Hi All, I was just wondering if anyone know if Marwell Zoo has speed bumps going into it's car parking? I'm going up next week and the Sup doesn't have much ground clearance... Last thing I want is to drive up and find out I can't get in! Don't you just wish more attractions had notes about ground clearance on the car parks?

Hopefully not a pea-roast.. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=17685

Sorry to hear about the cat Mike :-(

Oh dear. Unfortunately someone I know installed one of these in a peugeot. All it does is cause you to idle at a higher RPM! 2000rpm was his new idle point...

I agree, with WSB2! Come to bmth.... some fine restaurants and some fine hotels too.. it's only 40 mins from Weymouth.

Central Park (south side stinks of horse poo), time square (the famous NYPD department, Hershey store, M&M's store, bubba gump shrimp co), go see the financial district and realise how big 9/11 was, even just to see the area and the monument. Statue of Liberty, Macy's, stroll 5th, 6th, Park and Madison Ave. Bloomingdales, Rockafeller, Madison Sq Gardens, Empire State building. Grand Central station as well is just massive, get into the main terminal and check out the ceiling, it mesmerized me.. Walk 42nd street too, that's interesting. As is most of broadway and the surroundings of Time square. Try having some food at the Bubba Gump shrimp Co at Time Square too. Spend a day around central park, if the weather's nice it's a lovely place to burn a whole day on. If the weather's good, just walk everywhere unless it's more than 12-15 streets away, as it's always nice to gawp at all the architecture. Some good gigs up at the meat packing district if you're after music let me know. Also some good whiskey bars around too. Stayed at the Waldorf Astoria and the Palace, both reasonable hotels and got some real history in them. Take a map for your first time, but if you're walking around I bet after 2-3 days you'd throw it away. Oh and I don't know if they've still got the rule that you can't take bags on the statue of liberty, so if you're going down there just take a bottle of water and catch the metro down, leave everything bar your camera in the hotel if so. Last time I went I had to go because of work, NYC in the summer fully expenses paid was top

Sounds nice and meaty. I'm a system builder. Let me know if you need any experts on infrastructure build, disaster recovery, networking or storage management/performance & capacity management (Fibre Channel, Ficon, Fibre over IP, IP, little NAS/iSCSI). Also anything IBM related that isn't a pSeries

You will have a PM in a couple of minutes as I'm gonna get a rear-bush kit as well. I replaced the entire arms on my old NA, that sorted it out a treat but it's just a tad more costly than just doing the bushes...

:( poor kitty It's always even more frustrating when you have to starve them and they're miaowing at you lots for a little food... Hope it's not a tumour and something a lot more simpler.

Saw at the fitness first last two mornings. Think someone with the license plate ending LEE has sold a GTO/3000GT as that's no-longer there in the mornings

Is it an import or an export model? (I can't beleive no-one's done car jokes yet...). Hope the vet goes well bud. I know how much people love cats, I still miss mine and he went to feline heaven 2 years ago

Could have a cold. Is he sneezing or dribbly at all? My cat (bless him he lived til 18), had about 4-5 colds through his life. always felt sorry for him when he was sat there purring and snot came out his nose.

Spotted you going off towards Ringwood way. Your exhaust is kinda blacking your bumper isn't it? I still want your wheels

I work in IT in Bournemouth... PM me or something, may know your friends here!

Sounds like a possibility then. JPM = JP Morgan

http://onemorelevel.com/game/spin_the_black_circle This game is more annoying that the aeroplane/runway dicussion was... Give it a go. I hold no responsibility for you throwing your keyboard/laptop out the window in a fit of rage.

I may have the glass off you mate, what's postage work out at? Where abouts in Hampshire are you as I'm only a little way away.

Release bearing on the way to the pearly gates?

Ahoy! Why thank you Sir, car was a little grotty, but then I had just done 55 miles on the M27/M3... I really should know the name of that place, as I was going to the JPM site as I'm a JPM-corporate-slave/drone/wh0re. Maybe have to arrange a mini-meet in the area.

So's this... http://www.straightdope.com/columns/060203.html Where the first post is listed word for word , the explaination too: First the obvious-but-wrong answer. The unwary tend to reason by analogy to a car on a conveyor belt--if the conveyor moves backward at the same rate that the car's wheels rotate forward, the net result is that the car remains stationary. An aircraft in the same situation, they figure, would stay planted on the ground, since there'd be no air rushing over the wings to give it lift. But of course cars and planes don't work the same way. A car's wheels are its means of propulsion--they push the road backwards (relatively speaking), and the car moves forward. In contrast, a plane's wheels aren't motorized; their purpose is to reduce friction during takeoff (and add it, by braking, when landing). What gets a plane moving are its propellers or jet turbines, which shove the air backward and thereby impel the plane forward. What the wheels, conveyor belt, etc, are up to is largely irrelevant. Let me repeat: Once the pilot fires up the engines, the plane moves forward at pretty much the usual speed relative to the ground--and more importantly the air--regardless of how fast the conveyor belt is moving backward. This generates lift on the wings, and the plane takes off. All the conveyor belt does is, as you correctly conclude, make the plane's wheels spin madly. A thought experiment commonly cited in discussions of this question is to imagine you're standing on a health-club treadmill in rollerblades while holding a rope attached to the wall in front of you. The treadmill starts; simultaneously you begin to haul in the rope. Although you'll have to overcome some initial friction tugging you backward, in short order you'll be able to pull yourself forward easily. Maybe we should also debate the 3-doors 1-prize puzzle

Argh, I had to get this before I went to sleep.... Watch it!
