  1. aye, that's where I send my customers for everything big-name
  2. I agree that Acers are good, but they use the same old Chicony-style keyboard as most other companies. My number one would be a Thinkpad T or Z series, absolutely the finest there is. The professional end Dells are very good too (Latitude D6x0). Agree on the Celerons - steer cleer, but I would also say steer clear of P4s unless you like big fat hot laptops with poor battery life. Centrino (Pentium-M) or mobile Athlon 64 is the way forward. PC World stuff ain't so good - Packard Bell etc. Not a fan of the VAIOs unless it's a high-end one. The cheaper ones really are shite.
  3. surely that's down to a bad / poorly fitted mph conversion?

    awesome rims

    They're Volk GT-AV 18x9 up front and 18x10 rear, in Grey/Silver. Black it is for the calipers then. Shoud I just sand them down with some rough glasspaper? Don't really want to have to send them away to be blasted.
  5. I was gonna go but I had motivational problems - couldn't get up out of the chair I wanted to show off my new rims too. Next time

    awesome rims

    check it out! Now what colour should I do my calipers? http://www.uk2sucks.net/rims/new1.jpg http://www.uk2sucks.net/rims/new2.jpg
  7. I think it would be safer to have it inbetween the spring and damper. It probably isn't good at all in terms of suspension system design and geometry etc, kind of like cutting springs to lower a car, but it would work I guess.
  8. How would that work then?
  9. I wonder if.. there is such a thing as spacers, like big washers, to go between the spring and damper.
  10. There's more on the BBC site. Videos too! Your isp needs to be BBCi-friendly for good quality videos though. Opps no ignore me. Just audio interview with the guy.

  12. Mate.. go look at the thread entitled 'Help' in Off-Topic. It's going to be Monday I'm afraid

    Help!

    I think the bond bit might mean that my goods are actually the insurance!! They have paid the import duty, and if I don't pay it to them they keep the wheels

    Help!

    Yep, the storage costs they can go fuck themselves on. They have my phone number and have made no attempt to call me. Had they phoned on Friday, I'd have been right over there like a shot. Instead, they don't bother meaning it's in their storage over the weekend.

    Help!

    http://www.uk2sucks.net/mvp.JPG What does 'held in airline bond' mean? Do I need to contact MVP to see if the invoice that Bax have shows a lower amount than I think? I mean.. it's a gift or replacement or something, right? I wish they'd have bloody phoned me yesterday. I bet they're closed now and I'm going to have to wait 'til Monday which is a pain as Kosmic is coming from miles away for my existing wheels tommorrow :frown:
  16. After all, they will be building it! After deciding not to they have changed their minds. Fantastic. This has to be the best looking car I've seen for so long. http://www.italiaspeed.com/2006/cars/alfa_romeo/03/8c_competizione/0503.html
  17. Thanks mate LOL Jazz.. indeed.. I hadn't thought of that. We got sick of err.. each other She drives a Z4 now anyway so I think she's probably too good for us mere commoners

    Ouch!

    Check out idiot #1 in this. Surely dead! http://www.metacafe.com/watch/68723/4_idiots/
  19. Sorry to be off topic, but I still find this shockingly funny: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/74013/look_what_you_have_done/
  20. Thanks guys!! I've been tracking my birthday present for a few days now. Had a really bad week due to getting in police trouble over something I bought off someone, so it's not the best birthday ever but my VOLKS are in Manchester somewhere now! I've tracked them through Baxglobal.com from Dallas to London, then to Manchester, and I've been watching the flight arrivals at ba.com and they're in Mcr now I might come to Mascrat Mike it just depends what happens woohoo Volks
  21. Lots and lots of people recommend them. I've never had them on mine. I like the Falken 451s - they smoke lovellyly and my local tyre specialists do them at a great price. Eagle F1 GSD3s have been well recommended by Supra people for years, and their price is pretty reasonable too.
  22. KYB Gas-a-Just? http://www.css-networks.com/kyb.jpg I don't remember seeing if mine were adjustable before I binned them. They were on the front of my UK car.
  23. I use it all the time, but as a standalone app. Sorry not much help at all since it just asks me for license details upon installation. Great tool though.
