Happy Birthday all and a big for my lovely Jay Have a good one

That young person's language is fowl and he was a cheeky wee sod. However what we do not see is the lead up to him being rude. The filming starts once the altercation is in full flow. He purchased two single tickets as the cheapest way of doing his journey and he was issued two for the same journey instead of one for each way. Had the conductor - who was supposedly trained in dealing with challenging situations - stopped to look at said tickets he might have realised that this was not the kid's mistake. If he had perhaps adjusted his aggressive body language and not belittled the young person from the start this would not have escalated the way it did. I think perhaps he may well have dealt with an adult in a suit a lot differently and not just automatically assumed they were fare dodging. The bloke who ‘intervened’ also would not have got involved if this was an adult and it is unlikely he would have dared lay hands on an adult and throw them onto the platform in the manner he did. Don’t get me wrong here this young person did not react well – but why does that justify what is effectively assault? If that ‘big man’ had done that to an adult he would most definitely be charged. I hope he is - or perhaps he should be subject to the new favourite 'punishment' restorative justice whereby he has to apologise to the young person Go on then let the flamage commence

Welcome to the forum

A few people I know use these guys http://www.competition-car-insurance.co.uk/index.htm - my neighbour got an excellent deal from them fully comp including 7 track days per year anywhere in Europe for his Elise - pretty sure it was less than £350 all in. When he did need to make a claim for a total loss (not his fault and on the road) they dealt with him quickly and fairly taking full account of real value of the car. Steer clear of the one track day insurances - they cost around £70-£100 and when you stop to read the small print you are only covered for impact - i.e. if you hit or are hit by someone else. At a well run day this is unheard of. It is much more likely that any damage you sustain would be down to spinning and hitting a wall or going arse deep into the kitty litter. Most insurances will not cover for you 'finding your own limits'

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! have a good one

Put in perspective I pay £30 for a dentist who's spend 7 years in university and 20 years building up a practice to carefully drill out my tooth and apply amalgam to the cavity...............I deeply begrudge how much this costs me. £30 for a tyre to be fitted??!?! I'd rather try and put it on my self using my pecker as a tyre iron. +1 £30 a corner is TTP

Just remember your soap on a rope then Am sure it will be fine - is only two months - othr than tax discs the DVLA take at least that long to process ANYTHING

Looks like a fab wee 'holiday' - proper road trip

he has some cojones

who gave you permission to use my 'Sunday' name?

Yup RBS offer similar includes multi-trip travel insurance as well - so for £124 per year have roadside and home on two cars and as passenger, multi-trip travel for whole family plus a multitude of odds and sods I'll never use- like theatre discounts - but for piece of mind on the road and all travel insurance I thought was worth it. That Quidco cashback deal is a good one though

Mods - do you think this is another wee bit of evidence of the need for a trackdays / motorsport subforum? http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=56081 R8OONER is just another example of folk looking for specific advice on track related zed info and he will have to go looking in 'projects' or build threads for info, then 'trackdays' for info on trackdays and then in separate trader areas for track orientated parts. Project and build threads don't often have 'track car' in their titles so folks will find it difficult to find them. I think at the very minimum we would all benefit from having separate sections for modifications - i.e. mods for showcars and mods for track

Can we quote you on that?! aye that'll be right! You certainly shouldn't be in any 'bar' area Neil - you'd just get banned within a day

Wouldn't rush into making a decision on an exhaust just because you've got the remap booked - and there's no point in having the remap done without the exhaust you intend to have on the car - so stop and think about where you're going with the exhaust before you proceed with the remap Maybe Abbey can advise - but either way won't be a cheap fix

to the forum

welcome to the forum Lee

Wisnae me - might have been Melville - I was in St Andrews having lunch with Jay & Laura, eyeing up his new 370.

^ yup would definately go down the route of brakes and bracing first Especially if you're going down the route of performance driving lessons - you're obviously going to end up on track once you've done that

How about just remembering to read them?

+1 Happy Birthday Octet have a good one!

I could do with a good exfoliation and tanning

Just as well he's basically done all that already Bennett

wow - this is sheer dedication... and perhaps a wee touch of OCD Well done Keyser

Neil - I'll repeat what I said earlier...when you gonna learn not to drink?
