I'll try and have a rummage through the parts i have tomorrow, cant promise anything though

Great example Craig! yes spot on something like that. And kudos for getting a pic whore out of it too No more pics in the thread though to keep it fair

Well it's meant to be about the photo not the photoshopping so really it shouldn't be photoshopped

It's not a competition it's a challenge and isn't part of the business hence not in my area, I just used Akaridesigns email as it's unlimited space and easier.

do Irust biscuits maths....

Phew!

After finding there were a surprising number of amateur and professional photographers on the forum I thought it might be fun to have a photo challenge I saw this on another forum and it seemed to turn out some great results. The idea is simple. you have until the end of this month to go out and take a picture that fits with the challenge subject. It doesnt have to be the only thing in the picture but it should certainly be an important part of the picture The subject is... WHEELS For all those who wish to participate in this challenge please take a moment to read through the following: 1. The deadline for submissions is 31 August 2011 2. Include your forum username when submitting 3. The attached photo must be in the form of a .jpg 4. Please keep your photo anonymous (no distinguishing watermarks, and no photos that have been posted previously on the forum) 5. Submit no more than one photo 6. If you wish you may include a title when submitting your photo (please ensure that the attached photo is renamed as the chosen title) 7. All submitted photos will be posted, along with a poll, in a new thread within the first week of the following month 8. Once created, the voting poll will last for 7 days before it closes automatically EMAIL SUBMISSION: Please enter your email subject as "August 2011 Photo Challenge Submission" >>>>>>>>>> Copy and Paste this form into your submission email <<<<<<<<<< 350z-uk.com username: * Photo Title (optional): Is the attached photo 1mb or less? Y/N Is the attached photo a jpeg? Y/N Has this photo been posted before on 350z-uk? Y/N Was this photo taken this month? Y/N >>>>>>>>>> End of form <<<<<<<<<< Please submit only one photo per challenge. * Please ensure that the attached photo is named the title you wish it to have otherwise the title will not be used. .................................................. .................................................. ... Please email your photo to photochallenge@akaridesigns.com FAQ What is the Photo Challenge? TPF’s Photo Challenge is a monthly photo contest, with a new theme for each challenge. Who is eligible to enter? Any registered member of 350z-uk may enter. How do I submit my image to the Challenge? Images must be emailed to: photochallenge@akaridesigns.com. All submitted photos must include a form that needs to be completed. Just copy and paste the form into your reply email. This will ensure that no mistakes are made when photos are submitted and therefore, hopefully, no photos will be disqualified. If the form is not included in the submission email, the photo will not be included in the Challenge gallery and voting process. Is there a size restriction on the image file? Yes. The image can be no larger then 1MB. Can I submit any image of mine, as long as it meets the Challenge theme? Images that have been previously posted on 350z-uk will be disqualified. Images with watermarks, signatures, or any distinguishing marks that identify the photographer will be disqualified. The picture must have been taken in the month of the challenge If there is any question of copyright violation, the image will be disqualified. Will I get a confirmation that my image was received? As long as your submission has followed the Challenge guidelines, ie, you've submitted with the entry form and are within the image size values, etc., you will NOT hear back from me. If there is any special issue with your submission, however, you will be contacted. Where can I view the photo contenders for the contest? They won't be displayed until after the deadline to submit. After the deadline, there will be a new poll with all the submitted pictures attached. How long do the voting polls stay open? The voting polls will be open for one week. Is it possible for people to vote for photos more than once? Each registered member is only able to vote once. Is there a prize for winning the Monthly Challenge? Prizes may be available or can be donated. Or maybe it will just be the respect of others and the sense of achievement from winning. If I win a prize, does this mean I am NOT eligible to win the next month, too? Yes. In order to keep the Challenge open for a “first win†to as many eligible 350z-uk members as possible, a prize will only be awarded to the same winning member once every six (6) months. What happens if there is a tie in the votes? In the event of a tie, I'll find someone qualified to decide which is best. The Challenge theme this month seems vague to me. What image should I choose? You can send in whatever photo you think best represents the subject. The challenge is deliberately kept brief, so a lot is left to the interpretation of the photographer. Part of the fun is to see all the different ways we respond to a given theme. Use your imagination - and have fun with it!

mine has gone down by 10 for which I am relieved

Engineers Explained People who work in the fields of science and technology are not like other people. This can be frustrating to the non-technical people who have to deal with them. The secret to coping with technology-oriented people is to understand their motivations. This will help to teach you everything you need to know. I learned their customs and mannerisms by observing them, much the way Jane Goodall learned about the great apes, but without the hassle of grooming. Engineering is so trendy these days that everybody wants to be one. The word "engineer" is greatly overused. If there's somebody in your life who you think is trying to pass as an engineer, give him this test to discern the truth. ENGINEER IDENTIFICATION TEST You walk into a room and notice that a picture is hanging crooked. You... A. Straighten it. B. Ignore it. C. Buy a CAD system and spend the next six months designing a solar-powered, self-adjusting picture frame while often stating aloud your belief that the inventor of the nail was a total moron. The correct answer is "C" but partial credit can be given to anybody who writes "It depends" in the margin of the test or simply blames the whole stupid thing on "Marketing." SOCIAL SKILLS Engineers have different objectives when it comes to social interaction. "Normal" people expect to accomplish several unrealistic things from social interaction: * Stimulating and thought-provoking conversation * Important social contacts * A feeling of connectedness with other humans In contrast to "normal" people, engineers have rational objectives for social interactions: * Get it over with as soon as possible. * Avoid getting invited to something unpleasant. * Demonstrate mental superiority and mastery of all subjects. FASCINATION WITH GADGETS To the engineer, all matter in the universe can be placed into one of two categories: 1. things that need to be fixed 2. things that will need to be fixed after you've had a few minutes to play with them. Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no problems handily available, they will create their own problems. Normal people don't understand this concept; they believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet. No engineer looks at a television remote control without wondering what it would take to turn it into a stun gun. No engineer can take a shower without wondering if some sort of Teflon coating would make showering unnecessary. To the engineer, the world is a toy box full of sub-optimized and feature-poor toys. FASHION AND APPEARANCE Clothes are the lowest priority for an engineer, assuming the basic thresholds for temperature and decency have been satisfied. If no appendages are freezing or sticking together, and if no genitalia or mammary glands are swinging around in plain view, then the objective of clothing has been met. Anything else is a waste. LOVE OF "STAR TREK" Engineers love all of the "Star Trek" television shows and movies. It's a small wonder, since the engineers on the starship Enterprise are portrayed as heroes, occasionally even having sex with aliens. This is much more glamorous than the real life of an engineer, which consists of hiding from the universe and having sex without the participation of other life forms. DATING AND SOCIAL LIFE Dating is never easy for engineers. A normal person will employ various indirect and duplicitous methods to create a false impression of attractiveness. Engineers are incapable of placing appearance above function. Fortunately, engineers have an ace in the hole. They are widely recognized as superior marriage material: intelligent, dependable, employed, honest, and handy around the house. While it's true that many normal people would prefer not to date an engineer, most normal people harbor an intense desire to mate with them, thus producing engineer-like children who will have high-paying jobs long before losing their virginity. Male engineers reach their peak of sexual attractiveness later than normal men, becoming irresistible erotic dynamos in their mid thirties to late forties. Just look at these examples of sexually irresistible men in technical professions: * Bill Gates. * MacGyver. * Etcetera. Female engineers become irresistible at the age of consent and remain that way until about thirty minutes after their clinical death. Longer if it's a warm day. HONESTY Engineers are always honest in matters of technology and human relationships. That's why it's a good idea to keep engineers away from customers, romantic interests, and other people who can't handle the truth. Engineers sometimes bend the truth to avoid work. They say things that sound like lies but technically are not because nobody could be expected to believe them. The complete list of engineer lies is listed below. * "I won't change anything without asking you first." * "I'll return your hard-to-find cable tomorrow." * "I have to have new equipment to do my job." * "I'm not jealous of your new computer." FRUGALITY Engineers are notoriously frugal. This is not because of cheapness or mean spirit; it is simply because every spending situation is simply a problem in optimization, that is, "How can I escape this situation while retaining the greatest amount of cash?" POWERS OF CONCENTRATION If there is one trait that best defines an engineer it is the ability to concentrate on one subject to the complete exclusion of everything else in the environment. This sometimes causes engineers to be pronounced dead prematurely. Some funeral homes in high-tech areas have started checking resumes before processing the bodies. Anybody with a degree in electrical engineering or experience in computer programming is propped up in the lounge for a few days just to see if he or she snaps out of it. RISK Engineers hate risk. They try to eliminate it whenever they can. This is understandable, given that when an engineer makes one little mistake, the media will treat it like it's a big deal or something. EXAMPLES OF BAD PRESS FOR ENGINEERS * Hindenberg. * Space Shuttle Challenger. * SPANet * Hubble space telescope. * Apollo 13. * Titanic. * Ford Pinto. * Corvair. The risk/reward calculation for engineers looks something like this: RISK: Public humiliation and the death of thousands of innocent people. REWARD: A certificate of appreciation in a handsome plastic frame. Being practical people, engineers evaluate this balance of risks and rewards and decide that risk is not a good thing. The best way to avoid risk is by advising that any activity is technically impossible for reasons that are far too complicated to explain. If that approach is not sufficient to halt a project, then the engineer will fall back to a second line of defense: "It's technically possible but it will cost too much." EGO Ego-wise, two things are important to engineers: * How smart they are. * How many cool devices they own. The fastest way to get an engineer to solve a problem is to declare that the problem is unsolvable. No engineer can walk away from an unsolvable problem until it's solved. No illness or distraction is sufficient to get the engineer off the case. These types of challenges quickly become personal -- a battle between the engineer and the laws of nature. Engineers will go without food and hygiene for days to solve a problem. (Other times just because they forgot.) And when they succeed in solving the problem they will experience an ego rush that is better than sex--and I'm including the kind of sex where other people are involved. Nothing is more threatening to the engineer than the suggestion that somebody has more technical skill. Normal people sometimes use that knowledge as a lever to extract more work from the engineer. When an engineer says that something can't be done (a code phrase that means it's not fun to do), some clever normal people have learned to glance at the engineer with a look of compassion and pity and say something along these lines: "I'll ask Bob to figure it out. He knows how to solve difficult technical problems." At that point it is a good idea for the normal person to not stand between the engineer and the problem. The engineer will set upon the problem like a starved Chihuahua on a pork chop. ^^this just described me in oh so many ways

gotcha

^^ Confusing I this you I find translation of this might be?

must have been thinking of a different car EDIT: nope was definately yours, just got the wheel colour wrong viewtopic.php?f=56&t=31837

I've strapped my HTC to my wrist with some tape, I'm ready to roll!

As the world is currently falling apart I'm going to stockpile on Coca Cola bottles so that I'm rich when the world ends and Fallout becomes a reality... Now where did i leave my Pipboy...

But surely insurers can't make that assumption as they are then implying that anyone who ticks that box is lying and thus making the insurance policy they have offered knowingly void?

- you have a 'high risk' employment (which makes such a load of difference if your not using the car for work) Again, think of this from a business point of view, customer A is a mobile DJ (very high risk) and customer B working in admin for the local council (low risk), would it not make sense to charge less for the person who is statistically much, much less likely to have a claim? this one still doesn't make sense to me.

The reset procedure will work eventually it just takes a fair few tries with slightly different timing to get it right.

I just bought a new shed. Sheds are aweswome!

Broke up with my gf a month ago I knew there was a reason to hold on to the heffer for longer (J/k Azzy if you're reading this- I know you're a bit stalker-y) My mum doesn't drive. I realised the other day on my renewal (having taken renewals from admiral for the past couple of years because they are the best price i could find) that my ex is still on the insurance for the zed I'd completely forgotten. The guy on the phone was being exceptionally thorough for once and read the entire policy. Seems she has been keeping my premium down, Ex's are good for something after all Will have to let her have a go behind the wheel next time I see her to keep it legit.

ahh welcome back bud you had the square setup on black wheels if i recall, were they rotas?
