    Sanity prevails

    We've been burgled a few times in the past and since then my Dad keeps a baseball bat by the side of his bed. He mentioned this in passing once to our soilicitor who we see a lot through work. She then told my Dad that if he was to attack an intruder with it he would be prosecuted. Although, if it was my Mom who attacked the intruder (or my Mom just said it was her ) then that's classed as self defense because she's a women and wouldn't be able to defend herself properly without it. Worth knowing I guess...
  2. Yeah it plays everything: MP3's, WMA's, original CD's etc... With a built in 6 disk autochanger you can get up to 1500 MP3 tracks in it ...
  3. I sold my Supra yesterday and now driving another car (BMW - Sssh!) which has a single din set-up. I no longer need the double din one...
  4. Sorry mate - it's a fixed face. Always the downside to a double din stereo.
  5. That doesn't really make any difference though does it? Good point on the Blu Ray though. My plasma is 720p, will there really be that much difference when playing a Blu Ray disk on that compared to a 1080p screen?
  6. We have a 42" Samsung Plasma and we love it. You can get the 50" for £798 here It's a full HD tv but not 1080p - not sure if that's really a necessity to be honest. I don't think anything is broadcast in 1080p is it???
  7. I bought this stereo last July for £300. You can see the stereo and spec here: Clarion WXZ468RMP It's pretty much brand new and comes with all instructions and fitting screws. I had snipped the wires on the harness as the stereo I took out my Sup didn't have the universal stereo connector. I have now taped the harness up and it works as new. I'll take £180 plus P&P.
  8. Just this second used these too - no compaints here for just £5 Always worth getting a check anyway Martin - at least if something does come out on the report you have something to haggle the price down with.
  9. The magazine comes out tomorrow as we all know, but does anyone know when the site gets updated? You'd think they'd wait a day or so to get you to buy the mag but I just wondered if anyone knew for sure.
  10. My missus complains that I am addicted to it and that I prefer my laptop to her! It's not true! Anyway, it turns out Internet Addiction is a real thing! Take the test here to see if you are. I scored 45 - "You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage."
  11. I love the Boerboel, farmers keep them in South Africa to guard their farms and livestock from wild predators. http://boerboel.co.za/files/img/stories/dolly_500x497.png
  12. My girlfriend loves The Dog, Leeland even more so - it must be his pony tail. I actually bought her his book for Xmas! I think his show has just been canceled though, something about him being found out as a closet racist. Anyway - you should check out this South Park clip with Cartman as The Dog. Check out Beth's boobs too! Soth Park
  13. I once met the legend that is Steve Bull. Means nothing to anyone other than a Wolves fan but he's God around these parts. My old man plays golf with him and was having a beer afterwards down our local. I went down and Bully bought me a beer! Top bloke - played for England in the World Cup whilst still playing 3rd Division Football you know! I also stood next to Will Mellor in the buffet restaurant at Caesars Palace after Ricky Hatton just weighed in. I said 'alright Jambo' - he just looked at me bemused. I felt a right tit!
  14. If you buy a Cat C car that needs repair - can you just repair it and away you go or does the insurance company have some sort oif hold over it?
  15. A few people coming to view this over the next few days, someone will get a nice car....
  16. EDIT - just seen similar thread on this very page! Doh
  17. Just seen this thread. Weird really as I have been looking for some Polos and jumpers to be embroidered for our company. From what I've found on the net these are the cheapest.
  18. Corvettes - I love em! The only car out there that has a better rear end than the Supra They're really cheap too. I bought my first silver TT off a trader in Nottingham who specialised in importing Corvettes and Dodge Ram pickups. He'd took my Supra in Part Ex against a Corvette. I don't know which model you're looking at Martin but you can get the newer shape one on an R reg already here for around 13k.
  19. Thanks for all the positive comments guys, hopefully it will sell soon. Paul2supra - I can't reply to your PM for some reason. I think you need to confirm your membership via email or change you account settings to receive PM's.
  20. Oh I know dude, I went to Colca Canyon in Peru last May. The Condors I saw there were immense, the swooshing noise they made as they flew overhead was surprisingly loud. I have some pics on my laptop I'll post up later, they're a bit rubbish though as they were done with a compact - plus catching a bird in flight is difficult.
  21. Even more so after my first sentence: I believe you're right Neil - quite a common bird in some parts of England according to a few websites. Not native to Wolverhampton though so a rarity around these parts - unlike a different kind a large bird!
  22. I was just sitting in our office at home and noticed this huge bird sitting in the bush across the road! Luckily I had my camera right next to me as I'd took some pics of my car and uploaded them earlier. Anyway, managed to get a pic or two although on 18x zoom! I was trying not to shake but still got a hangover from last night so not as steady as I'd like. Anyone know what this is? I believe there's two that live by us, I see them hovering sometimes (catching thermals???)
  23. For Sale - Black L Reg Toyota Supra Twin Turbo Well it's come to the point where I hardly ever drive this anymore so can no longer justify the loan and insurance payments, so it's got to go!. The details are as follows: Totally stock engine - never been above standard boost Automatic 73000 miles OEM Skirts & Spats Front Splitter 19" Genuine Axis Hiros Goodyear Eagle F1's all round Tax until July MOT until August Full service and cambelt change approx 5k miles ago Toad Cat 1 Alarm and Immobilser Imported 2004 2 UK owners Good condition throughout Some UK History Supra Floor mats I bought the car last July and have literally only done 1500 miles since then. The car is in good condition throughout but does have the odd stone chip here and there as expected with a car this age. Also the dish on the rear alloys could probably do with a refurb as the laquer has started to peel slightly - I've been quote £50 a wheel for this. The car has absoulutely no blue smoke on start-up or on boost, no yellow headlights either! With the time of year in mind I want just £5995, sorry but no offers! The car is worth at least a grand more in my eyes but I'd like a quick sale. I will also consider cheaper Jap sports cars in PX valued up to £2.5k. If anyones inetersted either PM me or call me on 07881 918713. I'm based in Wolverhampton. Here's some pics:
