Can you get an in car Cigarette lighter adaptor for them, for on the move straightening?!

Wow, remember the good old days where you'd pop a Slim Jim down the door, lift the button and be inside within a minute?! erm..me neither At least you can take solace in the fact that no-ones nicking the Zed in a hurry!

I reckon those look awesome. Understated and fits the look of the car spot on. Love the little detailing on these too, very classy: (Gramlights) Again simple wheels looking hot: (Ings TS06)

Aweseome!

Jason and the wheeled warriors.... yeah, mentioned him on my other post....hehe Omg Jayce was my favourite cartoon ever! I watched the intro online the other day and felt like I was about 8 again! Thundering across the stars to save the universe from the monster minds..... Looking back though I think Herc's car needs lowering.

They're all like that! You've got to love the cars though........... The F&F films crack me up. I used to be into the kinda underground scene in Brum years ago. Anyone who's ever been involved with street racing will know what I'm on about: In the films: All the cars are badass worth 40K+, it's beautiful weather, the women are all models or Japanese schoolgirls and no-one worries much about crashing or police until a chase scene. In reality: Most cars are £1000 sheds with stuck on spoilers, it's probably p1ssing it down, the women are all a mess and the whole thing gets moved on by the cops very quickly. Good escapism is the way to describe it I guess!

haha, It's not for lack of trying mate. I've been saving my nuts off for months now and I just keep seeing my money worth less and less It's ridiculous just how hard it is to get the money together but I'm doing my best. Soon....

That comes up on the bits the film company would most like clips to be taken from or reviews to be based on. Just a way of them drawing attention to particularly impressive or emotional scenes for the critics.

"For your consideration" or "The film you are watching is a promotional copy, if you purchased this film at a retail store please contact 1-800-I AM A PIRATE to report it." ?

Just wondering if anyone uses Games for Windows live or plays GTA4 online? I saw the Xbox gamer tags but is there any PC people? Had a few races on GTA4 online last night and it's a thoroughly entertaining and hilarious experience! Lets get some of the Zed guys together to whup some noobs! My username is "FourFingersPhil" if anyone wants to add me. Nice one

Nitrous is an easy target because it's A: Misunderstood and B:In films and TV (and we know how people like to blame the media for everything) Reality is less The Fast and Furious and more The Slow and Infuriating.

Good for you Nixy! My folks did the same to me back in the day, I had to pay my own way and it gives you a real sense of money.

If there's one thing I've learned its that governments will do what's best for themselves not the public. Don't get me wrong they will be seen to overtly condemn reckless driving and powerful cars but young drivers get flashed by speed cameras = more money, get pulled by cops and fined = more money, pay more for road tax on performance cars = more money. Even the insane insurance premiums are contributing to the economy and are probably taxable from the companies. It's a little like smoking. The government condemn it, say it's a terrible health risk but then make over £9 billion a year from Tobacco revenue. Don't be fooled folks, they have to be seen to be doing something about it but while they can financially rape motorists little will change. Phew political rant over...

Loving your work there mate. Do you do your own digital re-touching or is it not needed for the work you do? My agency have some digital geniuses that handle the images once shot: (amazing what they can do!) http://www.junctioneleven.com/photograp ... ching.html

I think you are the first honest Halfords employee I have heard off. At my local, they chuck it in the skip and salvage it later No point wasting it! Haha, probably. The supervisors used to watch us to make sure we smashed the stuff up properly cus a few guys had been fired for half-inching the stuff out of the skip. Every swing of that hammer used to bring tears to my eyes....

May be super cheap for staff cus they get 10% discount. Plus goods written off as FAGO (Faulty - I can't remember what it stands for) are only able to be A.sold to staff, B.Thrown away, or C. Returned to HQ It's to do with it being illegal to sell faulty goods under the normal Halfords regulations or something. I worked at Halfords for 6 years on Audio/Styling and we'd get stuff returned by customers that we HAD to throw out and write off even though they were perfectly salvageable! Worst I saw was a special order Kenwood head unit worth 400quid that had a dodgy display. - Because it wasn't normal stock when returned we had to throw it out AND smash it up to make sure no-one had it out of the skips out back! Was very painful....

Only if you are as smooth as Magnum...

I was going to say heamerroids

then: Yeah come on Nixy we all want to see pictures... of that slow cooker!

As fairly new addition to this site I seem to be missing something here, what's with the references to Nixy's picture? Is she some foxy mama or something?! Oh and Happy Birthday!

Just reading that advert has added +15bhp to my car

The top navigation area and appearance definitely works better in terms of visual heirachy. I'm a little undecided on the PHPBB colour theme for the main threads etc. It is more mature as mentioned but also reminds me of a Bathroom department in B&Q! It's quite different to the usual car forum themes of Grays and Blacks but maybe its a grower. Icons also look good.

I came across this the other day and I can't work out if it's some geek with mad skills in CG, a studio launching a viral video or...(god willing) some kind of promo for a new Half Life game? Very cool anyway. (Check out the site also) Anyone any ideas?

I think it really comes down to what you want out of a track car. Are you looking for the enjoyment of working on an old motor in your spare time or are you just looking for the driving? If you like working on it then get something un-modded but if its just for the drive then look for one already race-prepped.
