  1. It's a flippin' scary video to be honest. If that doesn't make you really stop and think then you shouldn't be on the road.
  2. 2 & 2 together and.. this is rik!? It's maybe Riks american cousin....
  3. You'll be golden after that though! It makes sense to me to get rid and buy something cheap just now. A career is WAY more important than a car.
  4. Good idea. I bet they'd be more visible than our live police with radar guns..... Not seen this before.
  5. I still think shortening the boot latch would be a far more sensible and simpler thing to do. Much easier to swap out later too if you remove the carbon hatch.
  6. ATC are only part timers anyway! My cousin (much older than me!) has been an ATC for all my life! He works at this place (stolen from wiki as I wasn't sure the exact naming) - The Prestwick Centre, Ayrshire, is home to the Scottish Area Control Centre (including, since January 2010, the former Manchester Area Control Centre), which controls traffic over Scotland, Northern Ireland, and up to FL285 over the northern half of England, and the Prestwick Oceanic Area Control Centre which provides a procedural control service for traffic crossing the North Atlantic via the Shanwick Oceanic Control Area. From what I can remember they control the air traffic over a large area before passing off to local ATC. Stressful job and the hours they are allowed to work reflect that. Best of luck. The Zed is just a car, another can easily be bought later if you struggle to keep it.
  7. Maybe a silly suggestion but would shortening the boot latch not be a hell of a lot less work if you have to go down the repositioning route?
  8. Andy - went by the name flirt on here? I need a go in Kenny and Dawns 400bhp PE TT zed so I can compare. The only TT I've had the pleasure of (too many times to count) is Alexs and it's not comparable to a 'bolt on a TT kit' car at all.
  9. Good luck and enjoy the drive. If you can make that extra little route I told you about then let me know what you think of the thing at the end of it....
  10. I always use 2 spaces in public car parks (straddle the white line every time) Why not? If it's pay and display or ticketed then I wouldn't do that. Costco spaces are ace! Id gladly buy 2 tickets one for each space That's fair!

  12. It's been done. There is a reason it never caught on.....

  14. For 3-4k miles a year I'd be surprised if it was financially viable. For something semi decent you are paying 5-600 a month on a personal lease. It's a lot of cash if you aren't using it.

    LS2???

    I've mentioned it too! Not in a 'I want to put a V8 in my zed' way though. More a 'I wish Apex would put a V8 in my Zed' way.
  16. Would these not be shockingly dangerous?
  17. Still on about that?
  18. Stick a post in the wanted section and check the for sale section. Rays are nice and light forged wheels. If not go for standard 18s. I have done charity track rides days at a sprint circuit with my 20s on. They feel fine but not nearly as good as the Rays when pushing the limits. On road they are fine though.
  19. If the filter you removed was dirty then you'd probably feel the difference. Apart from that I'd imagine it'd be 'seat of the pants' dyno making it feel better. You'll notice it until the ECU learns it!
  20. It's 1 litre from min to max as far as I'm aware.

    Varrstoen 3.3.2

    Remember that Varrstoen are forum sponsors folks.
  22. ZX10...... flipping quick! I've only had a shot on one and it was insane.... It was an 06 I'm sure. What year you looking at? I sold my ZX6R this year and bought a Z1000 but I'm fat and slow so it suits me fine!
  23. viewtopic.php?f=19&t=27572 Colins write ups are pretty good and shows a lot of what everyone did before and after the hoon.
  24. I can send the hoon route. With 4 days you can extend to Durness EASILY. I'm sure the others will say if it's worth doing the hoon route or not. Not the biggest fan of Fort William but I enjoyed doing the Harry Potter train last year which leaves from there. Ullapool is a great place to stay. I've done quite a few trips there and have driven a LOT of miles in the West Highlands and have stayed in quite a few places. There are loads of hidden gems along the way too. Corrieshalloch Gorge is worth a look Durness for truffles and hot chocolate Loch Inver Pie shop! Harrods etc etc
  25. what the heck is a hosepipe ban????? NO chance of ever having one up here.
