Personally I think that bit is wrong. Ive been pulled for a plate that is perfectly legible by ANPR, but a slight spacing change. No screws, tape or other alterations just one character moved by 15mm so its closer to the last three letters than the first one. If the plate is legible, detectable by ANPR and on a car that is hardly going to be used if you wish to avoid attention/detection (bright yellow 350z), then why the ticket. Its for the stats. Crime detected, Crime resolved. I know they exist, the police know they exist, everyone knows they exist. And when the regional force is looking like they may need a bit of a boost to make sure they exceed their targets - the motorists will know they exist too. Im also afraid that the "no pay rises for the public sector" may increase this sort of activity too, as bonuses will no doubt be rife in order to circumvent the no pay rise policy. Which means those targets will need exceeding by a good margin. My advice is to ensure your cars are sqeuaky clean, as we could see a period of trivial offences being ticketed every time. Of course this will be publicised as a "zero tolerance campaign" or a "crackdown to prevent an epidemic" etc etc. The authorities must think us general public have three heads and are the result of cousins marrying. Didn't you vote the public sector pay freezers in?

Working away on this one sorry!!

Emirates are IMO one of the best people to fly to Australia with. Their service is great, and I've tried a few to compare them with. If your going on a 17+ hour flight to Australia it's probably best not to save pennies and go for the milk run route because it kills you.

Then its not bogus.... if he stated he was going comfort then fair enough, but he didn't. In fact he stated he was actually going for tuning mods as well...

Yeah I was waiting for you to clarify that. He had no corroboration so no ticket. On that note, he's just messing you about

I bet you wouldn't buy a turd brown one if they made it colour means a lot, I can appreciate where the man is coming from. It makes a car in my opinion. Yea but for a grand or two I could have that colour tommorow. I never understand folk toting about how their unique because of the colour...

It's a bit pimp my ride, but hey it's good to be different!

Perhaps consider a repaired cat C/D ?

Have only heard good thing's about them mate. I'd say 'I'll let you know how I got on' but I don't own a dyno so... I'll hope for the best when I go for the Uprev.

What station? Most publish their playlists online if you can remember what time it was at

I tried some wheel cleaner from Halfrauds, I know I know... So I done the whole spray it and walk to the next wheel, spray it and walk to the next thing. When I got back to the beginning this was the state of the wheel, and I cant seem to rub it off, tried T-cut and now going at it with Meguiars metal polish, which seems to take the edge off it, but it looks like it's a deep burn. Any idea's I could try before having to take them to be refurbed?

It does yeah, which was confusing me cheers bud

Got myself an 06 intake and took off the JWT. Today I got the do-luck filter and put it on, but being non-mechanically minded I'm worried it's back to front.... The wire mesh in the image above is currently facing the engine, instead of facing the bumper, but I would have thought the mesh would have been facing the bumper to stop the bigger contaminents etc? Cheers folk

Hahaha, try searching topic titles only. But yeah I know what you mean.

I like this forum because it doesn't have this facility, is that wierd? I see so many forums out there with fancy reps abilities or thanks buttons an I kinda like the idea that you just know the guys on here who are helpful and the guys who aint. Simples.

Thats a fantastic job you done there

Sorry to hear about your loss mate, can't even imagine how you feel. I don't know what I'd do without mine, their such a corner stone of our lives. Hope the family are holding up ok.

Short of an Itrader style system I can't see much point in anything else. I reckon it would only create more work for the mods to police compliment threads, and still at the end of the day what's really wrong with posting that your happy about a product and receiving a discussion on it? 'I got new brakes fitted by such and such and it was a great service' 'that's nice to know, so how are you finding them?' blah blah. For the sake of a few post's a week, perhaps the grumpy bears could just ignore them?

Upgrade, it's only a colour.

Like a super sweet american cream soder with liquidised marshmallows and a bucketful of sugar. Yum

What did butterbeer taste like?

He would probably take in more if he was based on a busy high street, washing drive in cars for 5 quid a pop and had a couple of guys working for him

Love the front, hate the rear.

Ekona done a thread on this a few weeks ago, have a search and see, but it's advised not to run different compounds on the front from the back.

I get that sometimes too, but if I go watch fast and furious, or go to a car show, I usually come away thinking how good my car is and with a check list of everything I want to do try it!
