    Toyo T1R S

    No-one has the rears - they're all gone You may get lucky and find some part worns though
  4. Erm ...never Never mind at least you'll have the synchrorev to protect the clutch
  5. Now darling are you sure you can cope with a MANUAL?
  6. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! Haver a good one
  7. The strike is about the pensions, not the sometimes rubbish NHS management and conditions that makes (in your example) hospital staffs lives difficult. That PFI on your hospital isn't helping the country one iota either. +1 I was thinking about this last night - every discussion we have about this turns into whinging about public sector systems and management - its irrelevant how things are going operationaly - this is about pensions and the lack of money to pay for them not the ridiculous bureacratic systems that currently cripple most LAs and their staff from working effectively.
  8. So you do understand the ridiculous amount of red tape that there is - when procurement processes are so fecked why on earth would you think that payroll was any different?! don't get me started on procurement crap - now that boils my P*ss
  9. Just shows then you have no real knowledge of the utter crap and bureaucracy and constraints of working in the public sector then. Private sector maybe can run extra payrolls at the drop of a hat - I don't know as I haven't worked in the private sector since I was a student - it certainly can't happen in LA. Anyone working O/T on Nov 30th will see it on their January pay. To apply strike deductions systems on top of the usual Xmas & January payrolls with the staffing constraints that go hand in hand with Xmas period would cost the councils even more. By not processing until January they are ensuring the least extra cost to the public. I love the way there is this assumption that Public sector workers expect something for nothing and to get through this crisis without putting in that bit extra effort. This is a very simple view of what goes on in LA - nobody expects this. Totally agree there needs to be changes to ensure sustainability - however to apply those changes accross the board regardless of placing on payscales is simply wrong.
  10. Strike deductions are never able to be taken off the next pay day Chris - especially if a strike happens at the end of the month - they have to ensure they deduct correct amounts from the correct people. They have to ascertain who exactly did not present for work. Payrolls run earlier in Local Authorities over Xmas as it is and the January payroll is set up before Xmas even happens. So you'll find February is the first possible chance any LA will have to correctly apply deductions. This is just another examply of sensational media reporting playing to the misinformed general public Turns out Angus Council has a public holiday for St Andrews day on Wednesday so I'm unable to strike I would happily have given up a days wages though
  11. Total insanity The bloke that gets a load of stuff smashed off him just under two minutes in really doesn't look too confident though
  12. Is not gel ... is Gentlemans Relish
  13. It will be the cost of the actual tracker...in the case of a total loss this would be an additional cost over and above the value of the vehicle Its the usual insurance swings and roundabouts
  14. You just wait - he'll me mahooosive - he'll need to meet Nismo, Paulie's Malamute. If you look at the LakeZ meet thread from June there's pics of him in there
  15. Sounds like you have some nice extras there New T1Rs - on the rear - are you sure they're the right size? They're like hens teeth now they've stopped making them. You can get some matching fronts here though http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=157&t=54730
  16. Welcome to the forum
  17. He home Name: Fergus Age: approx 18 months Make: Custom white and stripey Likes: FOOOOOOD, cuddles, exploring high shelves, wrecking the hoose Dislikes: not sure yet but he's obviously been hit before he flinches and hits the deck at any sudden movement He'd been living under a car for a few weeks before the being taken to the shelter and had the biggest testicles they'd ever seen on a cat they're gone now though
  18. You would've seen it before now if you'd come up here for the HOOOON
  19. Jerry - haven't seen you on here for a while and thought you'd managed to get away with not selling. I think a few of us are having to really justify keeping such gas guzzlers when fuel is so ridiculously expensive Good luck with the business
  20. Congrats
  21. Some of our members swear by EBC - some of us think they're false economy A lot of us go for Ferrodo DS2500 as a multi-purpose... don't need to be particulalry hot to get excellent stopping power from them and do well on track without being too rough on discs or particularly dusty. Think Mr T was running Pagids on the R35 recently - but then they were the 29's IIRC - but with the weight of the R35 on track they certainly had no problem heating up very 'rapid like'
  22. Poor mr Fox.... and poor zed!!! Good you're ok though
  23. I would say you have sufficient evidence of the need for a sub forum already 'Trackdays' is pretty active - at least it is during the season http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=36 As are the discussions about F1 and BTCC Every other month someone posts looking for advice on their first track day - could do with an FAQ. It is an excellenct idea - and of course there is the logic that if the sub forum were there folks may be more inclined to use it If we had a Motorsport sub-forum then it would also be easier to find and locate specific track photos, info and mods etc and info about the more track orientated modifications i.e. Subforum = 'Motorsport' - with thread areas on 'Trackdays' ; Trackday FAQs; Local track info; 'Events'; Photos; 'Mods for track use'
  24. Chav Al - subtle as ever My personal taste is to only put decals on track / race cars - they do look a bit chavvy otherwise Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks Octet - do you like it? Paintwork looks good
  25. poor sod. He'd even gone to the trouble of a car bra too!
