  1. Stick it out, you have time to think and you're still earning. It's mad to think science is a dying profession in the UK. I wonder what we'll be like in 50 years.

    With RE050As on the front still, I wonder why... I've only had Zed's with matching brands of tyres front and rear, so excuse me if this sounds stupid but what bearing would the front tyres have on the rear? It's an honest question as I'm curious. Stones will no doubt have better grip than the Falkens, hence it seems tail happy. If you had the Falkens all round, the car would lose grip at overall less speed than having all Stones, but all tyres would have the same grip, so rather than being tail happy, it would drift more, but would be more balanced over all. So while you have less total grip with Falkens, it would be balanced. Also made worse by the fact that you probably havent worn off the tyre mould release agent yet. That takes a good few hundred miles depending on how you drive. Makes sense the price of those bridgestones are rising all the time, rear ones are around £310 now on blackcircles
  3. Yeah, I loaned him the money to buy it so at least he won't have to pay off a finance company. I haven't spoken to him but I'm guessing he'll want another one, they're cheap enough to buy these days. Pete How much do you reckon? 2k? Sickening!

  5. No problems with my Desire HD, pairs to my parrot in my Audi great but the bluetooth setup in the Nissan is so poor I use headphones and simply navigate the phone via the car controls
  6. No need to even worry, the car will eat the miles up! Although get some red bull in @ 450 miles a day you'll be hanging!
  7. I don't know mate, I must be out of touch, it's crazy to think how things have changed.
  8. I have to say it's damn near impossible to do this on a laptop without headphones while my brother plays John Mayer in the next room

    Just checked my RE050As, the car has 3.5k on it, they don't look great for 3.5k!
  10. She's got a laptop tell her to make do surely she doesn't need a tablet as well!
  11. You ever read the synopsis to this song that used to be on Wikipedia? It's since been removed, it is quite funny:
  12. I was about to post this. He was a ledgend and will be hugely missed, one of the last remaining people from the Golden Era of hip hop. Last few years of his life had been plagued with illness, RIP Nate Dogg.
  13. Haha that's quite funny, oh well you did the dinner and washing up all in one there!
  14. Quite liking the amount of topics regarding trips across Europe in the summer. Some very interesting info!
  15. Get to the auctions mate, it's full of 350s! Here's something to think about, my 07 350 got traded in last June, they gave me £16.5k for it, the dealer struggled to sell the car and sure enough a mate spotted it in auction the other week, it went for a snip over £11k. Bet the dealer regretted that one
  16. I've seen reviews of this and heard good things as well. Looks like it might be worth a try.

    That is Nissan preying on the ignorance/trust of owners. Very wrong in my opinion.
  18. I love how the cost of making a living is rising at a far faster rate than the salaries we live on. It's a joke. I earn more than I did last year but essentially I am worse off.
  19. That's quite funny, good job you spotted it, what an idiot to fit that the wrong way round. It even clearly says 'INNER SIDE'!
  20. Cats make my eyes go funny and my nose get blocked up
  21. No it's not a hair dressers car mate. He drives an X5 which is basically a car for ferrying kids around in, usually driven my middle aged women who drive them because if they didn't they might actually hurt themselves when they misjudge things and hit cars really wouldn't let it bother me and anyways what's wrong with hair dressers? Not all hair dressers are stereo typical blonde airheads.
