Chesterfield

Guys and Girls, this will close at NOON TODAY. Only One free space left, and if those already signed up can confirm attendance on the thread that would be much appreciated.

I currently get unlimited data on the iPhone on the business plan, of they drop that then they can shove it, as I use it all the time.

Looks like I was being fed rubbish with this upgrade for £15 lark. The best I can find is that you can upgrade for £20 for each full month you have left on your current contract - 12 months left, £240 to upgrade. One month left, £20 to upgrade etc etc. Seems the same for business accounts as it is for other accounts too - I did think it sounded very cheap for anything with an apple badge on it.

Having an M3 "for breakfast" in a vx220 may be a little optimistic, with only a little edge on the bhp ton, and 20% ish less torque. The Zed will hold its own in the midrange, and it certainly wont be revving its nuts off like a turbo 4 pot to get the speed up.

I heard that you could upgrade for £15, as long as you extended your contract for a further 24 months? Dont know how true this is, as it was just hearsay from a friend. Havent checked it yet. If its just £15, and I can extend my contract then fine, Im happy with the contract Ive got and for £15 then the extra features may be a nice to have. Any more than that and Its not worth it.

If there is a new Zombies it will be great! For me thats where the fun is, just having a laugh with friends online. The team deathmatch, search and destroy etc etc can be fun, but ultimately there is no "player matching" to speak of, resulting in times when you can be playing with a group of friends and getting utterly destroyed by people who obviously spend most of their waking life playing COD. Spawn kills, glitching, cheating, and nerdishly good players can often spoil it for a group of friends that are just half decent players. There was a massive opportunity lost with MW2 in not making spec ops four or more player. Two player spec ops was fine, but most people have groups of friends that are larger then two - four would have been a massive improvement. Hopefully a return of Zombies or something similar will bring back that massively fun element that was wholly missing from MW2. Red dead promissed a lot of free roam multiplayer fun, but ultimatelythat falls flat because people always end up having different challenges to acheive, resulting in everyone going off doing their own thing. Or going into "gang shootouts" which in my opinion just plain suck, if you want to do team deathmatch, then why not put COD back in and take Red Dead out, because as a multiplayer shooter, Red Dead is utterly pathetic imho. /geek off

Maybe it was one of the seemingly millions of people who drive 3 series that dress them up as M3's ?

Yep - looks like it could be this one - anyone that has seen the aerial on mine will know what I mean about it being the same as the standard aerial but a bit shorter - still has that "twisted" look to it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Replacement-Aer ... 807&sr=1-1

Mine works perfectly, but its a different kind of stubby. It looks almost exactly the same as the standard aerial, but is somewhat shorter. Ive tried for ages to find out what vehicle it is made for as I originally got it for the golf way back in 2002. I thought it was a honda S2000 aerial, but looking at pictures thats almost certainly wrong. Could have been a Fabia. Ill try and have another look around. Has anyone tried a lexus is200 aerial or maybe a new toyota IQ aerial - quite a bit shorter, and I guess they must work fine?

Hi and Hope you enjoy the car and club

That is absolutely disgraceful. Can only imagine how angry you are! Some people just deserve a good kicking! Hope it all gets sorted as quickly and easily as possible for you.

Excellent shine on that. I'll bet it made the beer go down well in the evening sun

Yep I get the same if I leave the car for any length of time with the hand brake on. If you leave it for any extended period and it's secure, then I would reccommend leaving in gear and or chocking the car and leaving hand brake off. Will save stretching the cable too.

It will get used yes. No track days or anything like that but whenever I get the chance I'll be out in it. I don't think it gets any more attention than the z to be honest. The driving position is lower to the road, but higher in relation to the car or so it feels. You are looking "down" the bonnet rather than across it if that makes sense. I have the F1 gearbox, which people have mixed opinions on. I think it's great though, it's easy to drive slowly in traffic, but changes can be a bit lumpy until it's fully warmed the box through. In manual mode using the paddles can be a lot of fun. You can take it all the way to 8.5k before changing up (though you have to have an iron will not to change before then given the scream from 7k onward ) it has given me the incentive to use the paddles on the jag more, but the seats in that are not nearly supportive enough in the sides to do any spirited driving. To be honest for a "sport" version, they are crap. The seats in the fezza though adjust in so many ways, it's possible to set them up to be a perfect fit even for my pie filled frame.

Thanks martin come zedfest we can take it for a run out at some point. as for pcp or hp etc. No. As it's a luxury and not an essential I am a firm believer that I should have it only when I can pay for it. May sound snobbish, but that's what I stick to.

Ill have to ask some questions as to the affect on warranty of a different exhaust, as Im quite partial to the warranty on this.

I have a strict no modding policy - Just like I have with the Zed. How anyone cant be satisfied with the standard noise is beyond me though.

Yesterday I picked up a new garage friend for the Zed. Something Ive always wanted since being a kid, I know they arent everyones cup of tea and can come across as a bit ostentatious, but its been my dream all the same. I managed to snap one Iphone pic during the day! Its an F430 F1. Sorry I dont have more pics yet as I had to spend most of the day gardening, and then out for a meal with parents last night, so including the 60 mile drive back after collecting, I managed a total of only 90 miles all day.

This can be fixed by moving some of the items in th top menu rown onto the second menu row (next to the chat button). It occurs becasue at lower resolutions, the buttons for new messages and donate, start to encroach on each others space, the donate is the last one drawn, so it wins, and prevents the messages button from showing. Ill get it on the to do list along with a few other bits The easiest way to resolve the iphone browsing problem is for us to go live with the specific iphone skin which will make the browsing a lot easier.

How complete must ones life be to be concerned over one wing mirror folding in 50 milliseconds slower than the other?

Locking this now, everyone has had their say, and the trade rights have been removed. Rik is still a member of the forum, but no trading is now taking place.

Thats brilliant!

Just thought Id put the list up again - only three free spaces left folks 1 / Chesterfield 2 / Chris`I 3 / H5 4 / Madmarky 5 / Narcotix 6 / gunmetalzgt 7 / cavey+1 8 / Eraserhead 9 / Alessandro (+1to confirm ) + t shirt. 10/ Yokomo 11/ D0rzi (+1) 12/ chippychip123 13/ darren-b 14/ Duragon 15/ buster 16/ veilside350z+1 (will confirm during the week) 17/ b7owa 18/ 19/ 20/

I guess the Americans wont like higher fuel prices then.... All will be forgiven when petrol hits $10 a gallon...

Im always wary of sending them all out to the individuals before the show, as it multiplies the chances of one or more going missing by up to 20! I feel much safer knowing that all the tickets are safe and well and can be handed to people on the day. Also saves on a fiar bit of recorded postage
