I win LOL

I'm 20 stone

But i was 23 stone so ive lost 3 stone in the last 4 months and hoping to get to my ideal weight (one day LOL) which is around 15-16 stone.

So getting there

Also must be run on fuel you can purchase from a petrol station and must be a car that can be bought from a car showroom (at some point) no kit cars, no cars that have been cut into two and made shorter etc LOL

Mike

How manageable is the paddle clutch in traffic/parking? Never driven one before!

its one of them, there a pain at first but once you get used to it you dont know any difference, personally i love a nice grabby clutch

dont let a clutch put you off within a week you will be fine with it (unless its a hks tripple which are a pain in the butt LOL)

Must admit i hate spiders, the thing that gets me is upto a certain point i can pick them up and take them outside etc but when they get over that point i freak out LMAO what usually happens is my wife spots them, she goes mental and starts having panic attacks and i just cant stop laughing

Also people who are not scared of them always say there more scared of you than you are of them?? if thats the case why do most spider chase after you??

its life!! not sure why people get so upset by it, 99.9% of all cars lose value over the years and as a whole you dont get your money back for adding mods to your car!!

a car will always be worth what people are willing to pay for it, the market will dictate what its worth anyone can stick it up for £20k but just because its up for that price doesnt meant the market is changing LOL it all comes down to how much the seller wants the money and if he/she can get the right buyer through the door as such, only ever takes that one person who falls in love with the car and then money does not become as much an issue hence why sometimes some of these higher priced cars will sell

Mike

keep an eye out on pistonheads, theres always 205 gti's that have been well prepped for track

must admit ive seen a few under £2k with bike throttle bodys with a mi16 engine that have taken my fancy LOL

Mike

looks like a swoosh guage, very good copy of the defi

not forgetting Duke GTR, 8's since last October

 

a vid from PTM show which don't think you guys have seen before

 

Yeh but the duke car was bought in and i dont see it as a skyline anymore, it hardly resembles one and inside it looks nothing like one so i think thats possibly gone a little too far but no doubt tim has driven it well, most drag cars that have come over here do nothing but this car has backed up what it did in Japan but i guess i like the "built by myself in my garage" cars with a few bits stripped out inside to lose some weight which is what TOTB was all about but that event has changed now all cars should be driven to TOTB and (hopefully LOL) driven back

Its just nice to see the scene catching up with the rest of the world

There must be a dozen jap cars now running in the 8's!!

To add: Built and run in this country

also dont forget about the sumo R33 skyline which is already running in the 8's and its on a small turbo which i believe is about to be changed to a bigger unit to get into the 7's and also Mr Cowie who is now in the 8's with more to come

out of all the cars that are runing in the 8's (both supras and skylines) i wonder which ones are street legal ie normal rear axel set ups etc??

Mike

You trying to justify that black space hopper in the corner Mike

I just want to be able to wear my piano leather tie again

now thats sexy Jurgen

one of the nicest ive seen for a while

who?

you havnt lived mate until you have heard some of his stuff, dont get me wrong alot of it is weird as fook but for every 3 or 4 weird stuff he then produces a song which is pure genius

do a search on google videos

ooo aint heard hos stuff since school!

 

*dashes of to torrent land!*

Try to get his latest one, called "aero" if you get the original it comes with a remastered DVD

I love Rendezvous especially part 4 even sadder is i learnt how to play the whole song on keyboards in my youth

After i had blasted him for a while i showed my son some clips from the Houston concert he did where the whole city came to a standstill and over 1 million people watched it i think its still one of the largest crowds a performer has ever performed to!! i remember all the cars on the freeway just stopping in the middle of the road to watch it and blocked the whole motorway LOL

Nice to see its not just me who likes him

"waits for roasting"

I'm sorry but yes the dash is "interesting" in the zed but when youve had one the dash is very well set out, and i'm sorry but the acres and acres of slab plastic dash of a supra isnt any better

Mike

Call me sad but ive had my new home cinema system for a month or so but today i was going though all my cd's loading them onto my hard disc player when i came across one of my all time best artist Jean Michel Jarre

I know sad but played his latest remastered DVD in 7.1 sound and cranked it up and it just sounded better than ever

Cost alot of money but hey when you get sounds like that it makes it all worth it

Mike

what a real shame, was one of the nicest supras ive been in, drove superb and was stunninly quick, i hope she gets what she deserves!!

posties dont do bad, trust me and the hours are very good!!

there mainly striking about money and working conditions, basically there trying to update all the equipment and the workers dont like it!! stupid as it needs to but the unions are using it as a excuse to get more money but there simply isnt any more money to give them!!

as its been said its stupid as they still have to deliver all the post the following day anyway??

for the first time the company are being honest and saying there simply isnt any money to give to you or we stand to go under, its that serious so work with us and rebuild royal mail and make it a competitive business but they would rather strike and it will cost more jobs because of it

short sighted i'm afraid.

Mike

no parcelforce on a whole is not affected, only really where royal mail deliver/pick up parcels in remote locations where it may be affected.

with regards to your parcel, just lately alot of the european countries have really tightened up the customs and are checking everything, unfortunately the likes of the post office are not really up to speed with the goings on of customs but i would have thought it is either being held or been held and now past onto the delivery agents.

if you want pm me the delivery number and i will check for you

just as a note the worse countries at the moment are spain, switzerland and norway, if in you are to post anything abroad make sure you clearly put a discription on it and make the discription accurate and make sure you put as much delivery details as possible ie the full address, any phone numbers etc etc

Mike

you have mail!

sold to the man above

unfortuntely its the same everywhere, just because you play at cars does not mean you should open a business!!

a guy on the 300 club who was a chef like to tinckle with his 300zx so hey presto a business opens and starts off ok then the threads start about issues, then the horror stories start ie missing stuff off etc etc

i'm lucky my dad is a mechanic and when he works i'm soooo impatient because he is so methodical about measurements, torquing bolts etc etc and thats whats missing, you wouldnt go and see a doctor who had no training but managed to stick a plaster on a cut one day would you?? so why go and see a garage with no fully qualified and experienced mechanics??

i do feel for the guys who have been ripped off or had bad workmanship and hope they get the work sorted.

the best garage ive ever used is RB Motorsports, not because there cheap etc as there not but the owner has a great mentality, he told me when a customer picks up a car and tests it and gets shown the work done and is very happy with it then gets the bill and nearly falls over but pays it because he's happy with the work then he's done a great job ie charged a good rate to make money but not cut corners to keep the costs down!! i now dont mind paying the going rate or even above the going rate as long as i know i'm getting a top notch job, cutting corners only costs a hell of alot more in the long run.

Mike
