Bah, I'm working too much this week as usual.

Damn, I read of one of these happening in London sometime soon and I was going to have a look... but now I can't remember where/when it was!

For £2500 how about a Mk2 MR2 T-Bar Turbo? Fairly reliable, mid engined and faster than a zed off the line... should be a fun car for your price range, I'm not sure what the resale value would be in a couple of years but I doubt it will change that much as long as the car is kept in good condition.

If you're doing it in your lunch break remember to take something to stop the hub turning while torqing up the spacers. I used a left over wooden floor board wedged between 2 of the bolts when I did mine... that was after realising the hand brake wasn't strong enough and slicing my hand open.

Bit of a late response (been busy!) but I'd be interested to hear your exhaust, I'm still tempted to get an Amuse exhaust...

I quite like it, although I wouldn't put it on my Z unless it was a bit more modified. BTW, for the marmite & chocolate lovers: http://www.chocablog.com/reviews/paul-a ... te-xo-bar/

I couldn't stand black ops, mw2 was good multiplayer, probably the most in control I've felt for a fps on console - if I wanted to quickly aim at someone I could get it right almost every time, black ops I seemed to move the stick the same amount each time but the amount the aim would move seemed to differ if you know what I mean. Been impressed with BF3, got my platinum yesterday just in time for MW3... it's got a lot to live up to though and I may go back to BF3 afterwards, hopefully the COD people will still be on MW3 and BF3 will be more team orientated than the suicidal chaos it is at present. Loving the whole destroying buildings/cover thing - took a long time to get used the damn heli's though, first time I got in one I hit the ground after about 3 seconds.

It's a bit late for this year, however the BBC do a sound effect library, I know they have 1 covering storms, not sure about fireworks but any firework sound effect CD you can find will do. If you put it on very quietly and slowly work the volume up the pets eventually get used to it.
