  1. In their own recent study, a government report stated that speed was the primary factor in only 7% of accidents. I'm not saying that speed isn't an issue, or shouldn't be reduced, especially in towns etc., but it does bug me that it has been seized upon as the main culprit of all accidents. It is a factor, yes, but a much larger factor (14% as I recall from the same report) is a lack of driver observation (not seeing the other vehicle or not assessing speed correctly). However, speed can be easily detected and punished; actually training people to a higher standard would cost the government money.
  2. I can notice a 3-4psi drop in my bike tyres, but not in my Supe; I can tell at about 10psi.

  5. Do you have a clustered firewall; you might be getting mismatched routing?
  6. Sent I hope everything goes well for you and your family.
  7. Where did you get the fuse box cover, I've been looking for one of those!
  8. I do Jujitsu at the moment (I have my blue belt grading in 3 weeks ) and my instructor is big on usibility and street application; lots of locks, throws, holds, punches, and more over pain! It's amazing how much pain a very slight pressure can cause! Cool Let us know how you get on.
  9. No, but if you do, post your thoughts, I quite fancy having a go myself.
  10. Was he sure he owned a BMW? Perhaps he thought it was a Chrysler Neon
  11. Heating to fit curves???? Oh dear.... I was hoping for an easy job... I have a 1DIN system too, but I'm going for a Defi display to put in the spare DIN; it's slightly smaller than 1DIN, but I'm sure I can cut a square out of something
  12. I too don't mind wasps etc., but PC's and cars get a torrent of abuse when they go wrong or (in the case of cars) take several layers of skin from my knuckles!
  13. I did wonder if contact adhesive was the way to go. Hmmm...is it difficult to get right?
  14. I want to cover my dash in alcantara too; how will you attach it?
  15. I have my Lex added to my policy as a second car; it was done two weeks ago and still doesn't show! I got pulled yesterday!
  16. Try Torpark: http://www.download.com/Torpark/3000-2356_4-10586817.html?hhTest=1 It's an annonymous browser; when you run it, it connects to their network and hides your IP address. It's a little slower than a normal browser, but useful. I haven't tried it in quite a while, but I think it's still up.
  17. I think the problem with politicians (with maybe the odd exception), can be summed up by the late great Douglas Adams: "Those who want power, shouldn't have it"
  18. If they can tax, they will; if they bring it in, they will probably lower the other taxes as an incentive, then raise them in time.
