  1. When in uni a few friends liked to cause noise. Apparently their neighbours called the council who threatened to install audio monitoring equipment in their neighbours house if they persisted. If the noise went above a certain dB level then they would be prosecuted or something to that effect. They didn't make much noise after that.

  2. p.s when I do get my 370Z, will I then want a GTR? I mean, I already want a GTR, in white obviously, but I am being reasonable with myself in running costs, however when I have the 370Z am I going to have this whole craving thing all over again? :scare:

     

    Personal preference on this one. I have a 370, my brother has a GTR, whilst the GTR absolutely ruins the 370 I prefer my 370, it's a better looking car and actually a bit more exclusive. Again this is my personal preference before I get slated.

  3. All that crap about the front door not being locked is bullsh*t imo...

    If I want to leave my door open then I will!! I don't think it is "inviting people in". It could be that someone can knock on the door and threaten you with a crowbar. I don't see the difference?

    It's not inviting someone in, it's just bloody common sense. This isn't the 60's any more.

     

    Nah your talking bollocks mate.

     

    Sometimes I may be cleaning my cars, or working on them in my driveway, in which case the front door may be open.

    Whether it's the 60s or not, it shouldn't be that people are scared sh!tless to hang out in their own property because of what can happen.

     

    I can relate to this but still, in this video no one is on the drive and so I would keep the door locked.

     

    Something doesn't quite add up for me though - they just seemed to pull up and go straight to the front door, deliberately going for the car. If I tried opening one of the front doors of the 60 or so houses on my street the odds are massively stacked against me that it would open. These guys knew that door was open, somehow they knew they didn't just randomly pull up and try it out.

     

    They've obviously monitored the area, this is a very specific robbery, they knew what they were after. It all adds up, this isn't a spur of the moment thing.

  4. Thank god I never let my missus take out a student loan. Sounds like its a right PITA

    Its still silly cheap money. You wont find a cheaper way other than bank of mum/dad or interest free credit cards. As far as loans go you wont get cheaper. Used mine to buy my Leon :teeth::lol:

     

    Mis-spent, I used mine for bad heads and a few books here and there :lol:

  5. Looks very clean mate...and that last inch of tyre both sides is like brand new! :lol:

     

    Good luck with the sale.

     

    I can hardly admit to having my knee down! :lol: That said I've not put that many miles on the bike in my ownership and rather than bin the bike I've just been taking it at my own pace.

     

    Sorry off topic, is that a r35 in the background of the first pic?

     

    however to redeem myself i have shown this to a friend of mine looking for a new 600cc bike after losing his ninja!

     

    It is a GTR, not mine sadly, my younger brothers. If your mate is looking for another Ninja my brother is selling his shortly I think, it's a 2010 ZX6R Ninja in white.

  6. For sale is my Yamaha R6 2005 (04 model). As much as it pains me to sell it after 6 months of ownership, I'm just not finding the time to get the use out of it that I'd like plus with my house purchase going through at the moment I can see even less use happening in the near future! It's my first bike and has been a pleasure to ride. Spec is as follows:

     

    Crash bungs,

    Moto GP style exhaust (silencer included),

    Seat cowl (original seat and rear pegs with the bike),

    Shorty levers,

    Alarm fitted.

     

    MOT to April 2013 (it flew through the last one), tax to end of July 12. The bike has just been serviced, has a brand new chain and battery as well under my ownership. The bike has always been garaged in my ownership and appears to have been kept the same way in past ownership. The current mileage is 8850. I'm looking for £2,995 for the bike. Any questions let me know!

  7. If you click the description it lists.....

     

     

    POWER - Lots

     

    I doubt very much it has lots of power with half the engine missing, sorry correction spot the parts that are left of the engine :lol:

    Was it battery power :shrug: dash seems to work :thumbs:

     

    Someone should get the reg number and report it :bang:

     

    Imagine buying a car (that was HPI clear) only to find out it looked like that before you parted way with your hard earned cash!

  8. Never buy a helmet without trying it on first.

     

    Top advice there. I'd never buy off a website, I think I spent an hour trying on different helmets before getting the right one, it has to fit like a glove :)
