I really like birdview, OK it's missing some features like postcodes and points of interest... but other than that I really like it.

Halfords do a "everything you need for Europe" type pack, all in 1 bag with velcro on the side so you can stick it to the boot carpet. The only thing it doesn't include is bulbs as they're car specific.

Presumably they also have 98 fuel everywhere right?

Yep, the motorways have nice signs saying "Shell X miles, otherCrap Y miles" so it's easy to see which services have what.

What's the reg? I can't see the image here.

Wheels I don't mind, it's the whole floating tub thing that looks a bit odd to me.

I like it from all angles, but that head on view makes that bubble look like something out of the Jetsons:

no decent stereo system

The Clarion Bose stereo is decent?!?

Cheapest McL RHD is just over £100k!

But you'd want the spider surely?!? Actually, there's a spider on Autotrader for £115K at present... hmmm...

How about a scary cheese wedge?

Not won the lottery yet

I'm always surprised they're only £140k upwards, sounds pretty bloody reasonable for a McLaren to me! Not that I can afford it mind...

How about something like a classic British Aston with the aim of driving it a bit and selling on to an American car enthusiast? Would be a good time for Americans to buy and you could make a profit if GBP goes down further. If you can't find an American buyer then you'd be able to sell it later for about the same you'd bought it in GBP.

Respray every year?

TVR Sag? Definitely different than a GT-R, sounds and looks awesome (much better than a Vette anyway!) and what will really appeal to you is... they're appreciating in value so will offset the fall in GBP a bit.

R888R

Haven't tried them, and i still cant go there due to MOT rules here. I need to stay within 3% of total OEM diameter of wheels. So in 245/40/18 & 265/40/18 i only had AD08R.

Buddy has them on his boosted roadster with 800 bhp loves them. Although on last SR even 60ft was only 0.1 difference. I was thinking it would be even larger since R888R pure semi slick while AD08R is somekind of hybrid

Also what i love about Yokohamas is that you can drive very confident and I would say for this type of tire very fast in wet

YAY I'm not the only AD08R fan then!

Mine's got Bridgestones on atm, the RE050a's.. Yeah... Never rated them on any other car, maybe thats why the back end likes to work the ESP system so much..

The RE050A is a pretty damn good tyre, not as good as MPSS but still damn good, the Ferrari Enzo had RE050As albeit the Scuderia version. Personally I don't think I'd buy anything other than AD08Rs unless the MPSS were much cheaper.

Didn't Abbey have some/a stupidly powerful Micras?

With regards to wedding lists, we gave people the option of donating to a just giving page for charity or if they would prefer to do something the more personal then there was a "buy our honeymoon" list which included small things like a drink in a certain bar, medium things like specific activities and a few larger items like hotel upgrades for anyone wanting to be special. The plan is to take photos on the honeymoon of said drinks etc and post thank yous to those who bought those gifts.

oh, p.s: it's not the guys that run the markets who decide the value of the indices, it's investor sentiment and today they've got massive hooves, horns and cajones.

Be aware that even if you cancel the finance you still have a contract to buy the bike from Honda. I'd read the small print and then discuss it with Honda to see what they say, you may be able to argue that you don't want the bike due to their post sales and they may accept that.

EDIT: Not sure why I thought the dealership would be in a good mood, they'll most likely argue and say you still have to buy the bike... but if you say you won't due to their post sales service and they'll have to take you to court over it I reckon they'll go away.

Because the guys that run the markets are working bloody hard

If only you knew who I worked for.

How come GBP is up about 1% against pretty much everything today, FTSE100 up 220 points, FTSE250 up 500 points... and yet my Facebook isn't screaming with idiots saying the economy isn't doomed after all?

Just want to chuck it out there as well that this was an ace idea. Could be a regular thing if traders get involved donating something and could be different voted charity every month??

I quite enjoyed it... I have about 50 plastic forks on my work desk if anybody wants me to raffle thouse off?

There will be nutters, but it is genuinely happening - 57% increase in race related crime in a week is not a normal peak and trough behaviour.

A British Indian guy I know from the local pub was saying that in all his time in the UK he's never suffered racial abuse, until last weekend when he and his children were shouted at and told to "go home" so it's definitely happening. At least the lads from the tram have been arrested pretty quickly so that should act a deterrent. Personally if I was the PM I'd be making an announcement along the lines of "the UK is a tolerant country but we will not tolerate such racist behavior, the police and justice system have been told to show no leniency towards any race hate crimes".

Or an Opel.

I was enjoying reading that up until it said "hate won"... then I stopped reading.
