  1. what about these ? Item number: 110695716426 on ebay Will I have to get arches rolled ? What effect of ride comfort with lower profile tyres ?
  2. gimme . gimmie now Anyone else play battlefield 2 ?
  3. dont put your polisher on 6 ! i did and ate two pads... I found 4 was just right and 1 for wax application
  4. Blimey ! Do tyre prices go to that kind of hike ? Well with the euro drive just 6 weeks away, guess I will hold off for a bit. I have done some searching around and looked at the deals but i need a bit more pocket money first. Fear not ! I will keep the list of names of those interested in my Rays.
  5. yep, found em and they have gone. This started out as a bit of fun but now surfing about to see whats available :-) Seems a set of rays are quite popular!
  6. Where da Volks ? My Rays are 18's. What difference to gearing etc would 19/20's make? How much is a set of Rays with rubber worth ? Tread is very good and do not envisage replacement any time soon.
  7. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 480wt_1139 anyone want a set of unmarked rays so I can buy these ?
  8. new clutch = no burning
  9. subscibe to sky 3D and get it for free Its super cool
  10. has anyone posted a video of doing this ? Ordered some wrappy stuff from the man himself
  11. HA! Fixed ! A jubilee clip was a gerkin loose and the hose had travelled up a spigot thus allowing coolant juice to squirt out. Slide twist squeeze. Job done. Italian reliability issues are truly awful .......
  12. I have an Aprillia Tuono 06 plate. Had it from new and just love it. There is nothing out there I would swap it for. It has 125bhp at the wheel. Akro pipes and dropped a tooth on the front sprocket. Cool as. And yes TWO pipes !! I have had it from new and have had no issues, apart from today !! I have an hydraulic oil leak on the rh side. Just going into the garage now for a rummage
  13. as noted, due to the complete lack of traffic the distance you can cover in a day with hitting warp speed is surprising. You may cruise at a ton in the UK but you simply cant sustain it. 'Over There' you cruise at 90 and you dont stop untill you want to. There fore you really do cover 90 miles in an hour..... It makes silly drives really achievable
  14. my chat was unexpectedly curtailed... if you was there you will know I think wrapping will be the ticket, so who can do this ? How much of a bitch are they to get off ? How long will it take ?
  15. wasnt he going to do an exchange part ?

    good point. I am after that planted feel at any speed in any 'direction' curves or straights. I COULD slow down of course I will need to speak to people on meets I think, get some feedback and see what they have fitted. Unless anyone here can attest ???

    thank you all very much for the feedback. So a coffee table it is then ? It is a concern that it all gets twitchy at the fun end, even more so if i get pipes and a remap. What that would be like at 170 ?????? There is a thread somewhere about convertibles with spoilers....
  18. i am currently sat in my play room burning time, waiting for a delivery from Monzacarcare.com I have been dealing with them of late and Eamonn is a super helpful chap. I have had a Monza yellow pad - for the Kestrel I bought off him - and a black Monza finishing pad. I have buggered the yellow pad - hence the new order - by failing to keep the polisher flat at all times. Based on this, and it seems you are new too, I would buy the cheapies first cos your gonna buggerem I did get a little excited and bought a couple of different types of pad, just to play with another tip I learnt: one product per pad ! Do not cross the beams I ended up with a cloudy mess. Second attempt was much more sucsessful Have fun now ya hear

    Whilst on a private road the other day, I took the Z above 140. Below this point there are no issues but crossing this shows instability issues. It gets a bit twitchy and scuttering around. I certainly didnt have the confidance to max it. How do I calm this ? I dont really want a coffee table on the boot lid - it's a rag top. Would a splitter give enough to make a difference ? Suggestions please
  20. I am / was a photographer for a few years, just been working on this today.... Bugger !!! aparently the board attachment quota has been reached, so no photos can be posted
  21. WOW What job do you have ? i loved hearing |Rush. Was a big fan in my teens but waned afterward. Allways kept those early albums though. It was such a thrill to hear closer to the heart :-) And as a bass player to see the Deity that is Geddy Lee in full flight was fabbo to say the least. "i would love to see Bootsy Collins " was the conversation at Floyd. As me and my mate have seen most of the (Living) best Bass players going. But Bootsy doesnt play the UK... Two days later I see an advert on bookface announcing bootsy's one off at the O2 !!!! BUT it when I am driving about the forn parts so gonna miss it to top it off in the same week you could see: Roger Daltry performing Tommy. Primus on their first UK date since.......ummmm ever ? Now that would have been a good week. As for Judas Priest in late July.. Slash announced his UK tour a few weeks back. Guess what date I could have made ?? Yep, same bloody one as Judas Priest. Swap anyone ??????
  22. Rush were 3+ hours of awsome canadian rock. Big Kudos for the funny vids taking the P out of themselves. When they played Closer to the Heart I nearly wept.... Just have to wait for judas Priest in July now. There is that little drive I have planned in July too.....
  23. Davy Gilmour and Nick Mason joined in for one night last week. Sooooo wanted it to be my night but..... So, who's taking bets that now they are all pals again - Pink |Floyds last hurrah tour ????? Poor boys must be down to thier last £50M by now
  24. Saw this on wednesday. Going to see Rush tonight in Brumigen NEC. What a crap week....
