BBS Alloys Info:

I have for sale (just in time for the shows and summer to start) 18" BBS RGR forged Alloys. Collection only.

> Includes BBS nuts and locking nuts with key

> Fully forged single piece alloy

> No need for spacers (they fit on the zed perfectly)

> NO scuffs at all - look like new

> Bright silver with chrome offsets (they look awesome)

> Fronts are 8.5 J x 18

> Rears are 9.5 J x 18

> Fronts have almost new Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres (loads of tread left) - unfortunately the rears will need changing with fresh rubber. I have Goodyear F1s on mine and they are fantastic tyres - very strong and grippy (work well in wet like dry)

They are all cleaned and ready to go. If you are very very close to them you can see extremely minor blemishes in a few spokes towards the rear (very few and far between); you really would have to be god damn close and picky to refuse them. Detailed photo's show this, so I am being fair on the new owner.

Not trying to be funny but weekend collection only please (I work away from home during the week in London). Collection from my home in Dunstable - close to Junction 11 on the M1 (pretty easy to get to from all directions). They won't fit in a zed when collecting - however, they will fit in an old model fiesta with back seats down (tried and tested), so anything bigger than this will be fine to transport your new alloys home.

(Example: on my zed - was used in **REMOVED** Calendar)

New RSW Carbon look handbrake surround

It's made by RSW and covers over the handbrake. The material has a carbon look to it - I never fitted it because it was more trouble than its worth but someone might find it useful (cost £70 from Envy at the time) - never been used.

I'm not going to put hundreds of them on a map - but if everyone put 1 or 2 that they know on there it'll get filled pretty quickly. Just trying to help out fellow petrolheads - won't do any harm, if anything it will get people out meeting eachother for runs more. It's not only this forum that it has been advertised on.

You've got the car. You have forked out your hard earned for that expensive exhaust. You now want to make a symphony of noise all around you, but the question is where are all the tunnels?

Scouring maps and looking on the Internet for them to incorporate on a drive can be a long and painful process unless you're 'in the know' - and even then you may miss some.

There are hundreds of them across the UK, yet no one has actually plotted them on a map - until now...

UK Road Tunnels

I've teamed up with PistonHeads to plot all of them across the UK (they have agreed to make it a sticky). If you know of some road tunnels, help out your fellow petrolheads by signing into a Google account (setting one up takes only a few minutes) and plot it on the map with the following details:

Road:

Length (approx):

Direction: [direction of travel]

Description: [speed limits, safety cameras, likely times of traffic, etc]

Next step: Go out and make some noise!

As crazy as this sounds but Force India seem to be a dark horse this year. Another Team Brawn maybe?

Some serious competition this year. Schumi won't come back just to play around - he knows he is a living legend and has something to prove that he still has it.

Lewis is on the top of his game too. Alonso + a Ferrari is always going to be a lethal mix for competitors. Button will no doubt push it to prove he isn't a one trick poney. Don't forget the other German - Vettel (he is a future champ for sure given the right car).

Also there is another Senna in the line up...

All I know is...this season is gonna be GREAT!

Hotmail is one of the largest (if not, THE largest) emailing service on the web. The reason there is little personal support is because of the sheer numbers involved.

They'll end up getting a zillion emails and phone calls every day and then people will say that the support is crap and not worth having (they'll be there forever trying to help individuals, when they could be getting on with upgrading, improving it all for everyone with no hassle).

I know what you mean though...

Thanks for your responses everyone - much appreciated.

I shall have to see how things unfold in the next week or so. The reason being is that although you have to look out for number one (I agree 100% with your comments) - management often don't see it like that. Once you start to break that trust barrier, you're stuffed so to speak (even if they don't show it face to face).

For example, from a senior position they may think "this guy is playing us about always bouncing from job to job" - you'll get a bad reputation with a false perception of moving on just for cash all the time. I know some people do it and as a contractor this should happen but in the real world with real people you can burn bridges. I wouldn't be happy if I got a builder in to do a job and he jumps ship because I never mentioned about letting him carry on when I wanted him to (it looks like he is only interested in the pay packet and nothing else) - same principle.

You turn up one day and say "I have an offer elsewhere, what is my position here?" and Mr manager could think:

A ) "Oh crap, sorry - we just haven't informed you yet that we'd like you to stay"

OR

B ) "Oh...right..well, in that case we can let you go" (thinking - we would have liked you to stay but now I don't want you now you've gone behind our backs).

Swings and roundabouts.

I'll let you know when the time comes.

Unless you pay for the added extras (like space and so on) then you'll have little choice but to wait for the Hotmail team to respond via a forum post. Most people use the free options, hence little support.

Have you tried emailing yourself to see if it comes through? If it does then it's not Hotmail it could be eBays end or wherever you are expecting emails from.

Also, do the obvious and check your Junk email folder incase settings have changed and they are ending up in there instead of your inbox.

It is quite common for email issues to occur on any mailing system. Basically, once they find the issue on one of their servers they will fix it and you'll probably get a flood of backlogged emails coming through one day...

i wouldnt be given your skill set, the value companies put on their employees isnt what they earn but more on the skills they have, if your as unique as your saying you will be fine.

This is what I was thinking. I don't just do 'jobs' for my department - i'm relied on from all over the world (Singapore, Washington, London, Tokyo, etc) - I hope, I don't come across as arrogant but there really is literally no one else to replace me with. They'll be shooting themselves in the foot if I were to go (suddenly all these teams around the world that can use my skills, suddenly can't and they'd all be stuck).

I just find it very concerning that those around me are going and nothing at all is being said (even when asked) about an extension.

To a fatcat I'm just a number (like most people) - thats the thing.

I'm an IT contractor. I work for a very large company.

The contract started Sept 2009 and is going to end on 31st March (in 3 weeks time). I haven't heard anything regarding an extension (after asking) nor have I caught word I'm in trouble (no job). I'm very good at my job, I've made some huge improvements since my time at the company and to be frank they are getting a lot for the cash they are paying (most places have dedicated teams doing what I do, but here it is just me).

I get on with everyone, I know what I'm doing and work very hard. I've already had 1 extension with the company in question, which was offered to me around 5 weeks before the current one expired (so I knew they still wanted me for the future).

OK...I've been in this situation a dozen times over a few years for several companies and never worry. Except this time around, those around me are being made redundant (perms and contractors).

Typically alarm bells would start to be ringing very loud, however I'm the only person that can do the job, with the added factor that I am in huge demand all the time (the others are teams of people - the teams are just being made smaller or relocating across the UK to save cash). Not trying to sound big headed, but there is ziltch chance anyone learning what I do in a space of a few weeks, so they can't quickly retrain anyone.

How worried would you be if you were me about not having a job at the end of this month?

This time around, it's very hard to tell and management aren't giving any answers at this stage. The guy next to me (not doing what I do) has been given 1 weeks notice - this Friday he is gone. Yet I haven't had any straight answers from anyone.

For now I am going to presume business as usual - but should I be worried? Would you be?

Amazing.

Idea #1:

I think it would be a good idea to have a sticky topic listing good driving routes and places members have found and wish to share with others.

This will only work if the topic remains at the top of a forum and I'd be happy to update it if people PM me details to add to it. For example:

Region:Oxfordshire

Start: Local pub name on road Axxx

Finish: Local pub name on road Axxx

Duration (approx): 1hr 30mins

Description:

Route takes you through some scenic twisty B-roads, which incorporates a couple of fast A roads. Only 2 known safety cameras in region (shown on map) and keeps away from local towns / villages. You will go past attraction name & attraction name 2.

Map: http://www.google.com/maps

ITN File: link to download ITN file

Whats the point of this? Well, I'm sure if people knew of interesting routes local meets would start to occur more - can't do any harm to the forum.

Idea #2:

I will be posting this across other enthusiast forums inc PistonHeads.

I'd like to get a map plotting all known worthy road tunnels across the UK. I've made a start, and anyone will be able to update it across the whole of the UK.

I hear you shout.."you sad son of a b.." - but wait (there is reason to my madness). If every driveable tunnel was plotted on a map, sports cars around the UK can make bigger and better tunnel runs. We spend tons of cash on expensive sport exhausts - yet rarely go in a tunnel (you could well be sitting right next to one not knowing about it). knowing where tunnels are will allow you to incorporate a few in a nice driving route.

Sweet Jesus that is awesome!

*** NEW PRICE - OPEN TO SENSIBLE OFFERS ***

Hi,

I have for sale a brand new RSW carbon dial cover, which has never been used (I have one on my zed as photographed). It's very thin (like plastic) and has been hand made by RSW themselves in Japan (I had to wait 3 months to get RSW stuff over for mine). Covers up the dull plastic - simple stick on over the current plastic surface. Excellent condition and quality as you'd expect (RSW are often regarded as one of the best carbon kit developers).

There is 3M tape on the back (very simple to DIY install).

If you were to buy this from Envy it would cost £150.

I am selling this for £80 (includes next working day special delivery) - payment via PayPal. First one to PM me secures the product.

Thanks.

I pity the fool who pays £30,000 for that ugly futhamucka!

 

It's not worth the AM Keyfob that starts it; imagine saying you drive an Aston, then pulling up in that.

Exactly!

It's like saying you own a Ferrari and you turn up in one of these:

Just 'cos it has the badge, doesn't mean it has the pedigree and magic.

Taken from PistonHeads:

You really can buy an Aston Martin Cygnet if you don't own another Aston Martin. Well, you can't buy one in the U.S. But Aston is not limiting its leather-lined city car to the already fortunate. But Aston Martin's baby swan will have a price of £30,000 in Great Britain--about U.S. $45,000--which should limit its appeal to only the most well-heeled of car buyers.

Aston Martin made the announcement at its press conference for the Geneva Auto Show (open to the public March 4-14) and said that it hopes for sales to of 2,000 to 4,000, per year which should add to the company's bottom line but also raise lower its average carbon emissions. Aston Martin has been selling about 6,000 cars annually.

As we've noted before, the Aston Martin Cygnet is a Toyota iQ, though with a Aston-esque restlyed nose and more leather inside than a first baseman's mitt--and not a whole lot bigger. The Cygnet will use the 1.3-liter engine standard in the Toyota iQ--so much for that V-12 we were hoping for--with a choice of manual or automatic transmissions. Aston Martin calls it "tried and tested technology".

Holy Hell - wtf are Aston thinking of! Talk about cheapen a brand - what is it with these managers trying to cash in all the time!? First Porsche makes 4x4s, then an estate car that make Susan Boyle look like a playboy bunny - now Aston are making a box on wheels.

ALWAYS stick to Ferrari's business model - determine how many models should be produced and take away one (hence you'll always be desirable by limiting numbers and not cheapening the brand).

That colour does look nice, what wheels are on that pic at the top?

Volk GTS. Same as mine, but blue.

Just out of curiosity, how bigger difference can you feel compared to standard Brembo set up?

Is it a "feels a bit sharper" or a "woah! massive stopping power"?

Ask Nurrish about his own custom made version...although it'll be a lot more than £110, but is a complete media system in the cubby - touch screen, GPS, the lot.

The only difference is to have a red and black stripe - not a light blue one.
