  1. Dear Great Unwashed, The top-of-the-line Apple Watch Edition, in gorgeous 18-karat gold, rose or yellow, that Apple’s brilliant metallurgists have developed to be up to twice as hard as standard gold, with an stunning display protected by polished sapphire crystal and your choice of Modern Buckle band in either Bright Red or Rose Gray costs $17,000.00. There was and there continues to be much gnashing of teeth and rending of garments on the Web over that price from people who are, to be blunt, too poor to afford such an exquisite timepiece. If you’re among the whining rabble, please stop! It’s unbecoming. Aren’t you embarrassed? In place of your so-called outrage, you might as well just type, “Hey, look at me! I’m too poor to afford such a watch.†Here’s a fact: If you’re outraged, you’re not in the Apple Watch Edition’s target market. You’re not even in the target’s market’s area code. And, very, very likely, you’re a disgruntled Android settler who can now finally see the writing on the wall. You need to shut up and accept your standing among the proles while you work to get into the Apple Watch Edition target market. Either way, Apple makes Apple Watches for you, too, and they start at only $349! The Piaget Gouverneur watch retails for $51,500. Just looking at it in person will take your breath away. I’m serious. You’ll gasp for air. The Piaget Altiplano cufflinks that nicely complement the Gouverneur cost a mere $4,400. Yes, they’re quite stunning, too. So, where are the maudlin tweets of indignance directed at Piaget for not offering the hoi polloi an aluminum option with a rubber strap for a mere $349? I searched Twitter: Not a single tweet. Most of those who will buy Apple Watch Edition units will barely glance at the price, if they even bother. That $17,000 might as well be 17-cents to them. These are monied people and, guess what, there are many, many, many of them around the world. Apple is brilliant. These gorgeous 18-karat gold Apple Watch Editions will begin showing up on the wrists of celebrities, famous athletes, and captains of industry very soon. And they will influence the rest of the world to lust after Apple Watch, too. And, here’s more Apple brilliance, unlike a Piaget, your average Joe and Jane Riffraff will actually be able to partake in the same exact user experience with the Apple Watch and Apple Watch Sport. Okay, so you put up with the aluminum or the stainless. Is that so bad? Listen, rabble, the point is that this thing is going to catch fire! So, cut your undignified grousing. Stop worrying about the Apple Watch Edition that you oh-so-obviously can’t afford, upgrade that fragmandroid POS to a real iPhone, and start picking out the Apple Watch that you can afford because you’re not going to want to miss this. You’re going to want to be a part of this because this is going to be big! Very, very big! Sincerely, SteveJack (future Apple Watch Sport owner and damn proud of it!) http://macdailynews.com/2015/03/09/incensed-over-the-17000-apple-watch-edition-you-must-be-poor/
  2. We get the rest here before then, ship the pipes when they arrive. I'm on it, rest assured
  3. Stay strong, don't waste money!!! Waiting from Stillen on a huge pile of stuff, I hope we'll have everything this week in the warehouse in USA then we can ship it over here. I'll get an update shortly. Biggest problem is Berk, no bloody flanges, takes 2-3 weeks for their decats to be made
  4. John, the RaceLogic is arriving the day after tomorrow if I remember well, brakes, coilovers etc are leaving next week, so they'll be here on time, don't worry
  5. The kits are exactly as you've seen them on R&D site, no adhesive supplied. We can buy an alignment tool for you then you can rent it for £10 to the other guys to recover your cost?
  6. But is for a good cause... I think! At least that's what I tell myself every time I make a purchase (nearly said investment)
  7. Here is the calculation: We can source the kit for you guys for £139 delivered, by buying a batch of them. How many of you are interested in this kit?
  8. ^--- this.
  9. You know where to find us
  10. You'll be fine Nic, get it all installed, tuned, experience the new power and handling, then build up on it IF required, eg: diff, suspension, better exhaust etc
  11. Correct. Cobra it's a very basic / affordable / simple exhaust.
  12. Replacement of the Stillen one, price is £199. AAM resonated test pipes - £369 CNT Racing resonated test pipes - £209 Might be able to make some custom ones via Berk or ARK, I need to ask.
  13. There are resonated decats available, I got some for Darren on his 370z GTM 1.5 SC. They were custom made by Berk for me. Still won't pass MOT if the tester is keen Adrian
  14. It will make it louder, not sure how much louder. The SC will most likely burn your HFC.
  15. Hi Nic, They went for Berk test pipes.
  16. Welcome to the forum, where about in Herts are you?
  17. Happy birthday, Sir Ian of Vieghtshire!
  18. Did I not reply to all these questions already?
  19. OK, leave it with me, let's see what I can do. Adrian
  20. Rob, I can have a look if I can supply these cheaper if you want me to. What's the final price inc VAT, duty and shipping you have at the moment? Adrian
  21. Good info Rob, worth a Sticky I should think!
  22. Can we get Will370z to ban glrnet, this kind of failure should not be tolerated to the mods! :lol:
  23. Congrats Sir William!
