  1. "Scientists have unveiled the latest prototype of a car that "drives itself" with the help of a tablet computer. Acting like a plane on auto-pilot, it is designed to take over from humans in slow-moving heavy traffic or on a familiar route, such as a school run. It is activated using an iPad on the dashboard - by tapping on a prompt, the driver can make the car's onboard computer take the wheel. Robotcar, which is being developed by Oxford University and Nissan at Begbroke Science Park in Oxfordshire, uses a combination of external sensors and computer power to calculate the correct direction and speed." http://uk.news.yahoo.com/robotcar-latest-driver-less-vehicle-unveiled-211012704.html
  2. Oh man, BBK and SMD have a very strange influence on this forum lately!
  3. Bumper tuck this weekend?! Looks nice, bet it sounds awesome, too!
  4. Watching me!?!? I'll be doing the watching, trust me, can't you see how bad I am with the spanners?
  5. You seem to be stuck on the GTR seats idea Not doing it anymore, got other plans, and R35LEE is on the run!
  6. http://www.motordyneengineering.com/product_info.php?products_id=121 Through countless hours of research and development a new path has been explored in the never ending quest for performance. A method of directly altering exhaust harmonics for enhanced performance and sound, this is Motordyne's debut of the Patent Pending Advanced Resonance TuningTM. 15 to 20 Ftlbs more low end torque than conventional test pipes. ART pipes increase power and torque without the drastic increase in loudness normally associated with test pipes. These provide the quietest, smoothest, deepest sound while greatly reducing or eliminating rasp and drone. The difference in sound is not subtle. They're not conventional test pipes. They're ART pipes!
  7. Nothing related to Valentine's Day got the MotorDyne ART pipes as well to replace the Berk HFC which will soon be in the For Sale section, hopefully this weekend, together with the ARC super induction box, Berk Polished Intake tube and other bits So the exhaust setup will be: MotorDyne ART Pipes + MotorDyne XYZ pipe + Amuse R1Titanium Exhaust ==> TUNNEL? WHERE? WHERE? Is it Wales 2013 yet?
  8. Perfect, not working Must be that blue wire which I did not connect correctly http://seology.com/shots/iPhoto-20130214-174833.jpg
  9. Duck the manual, who has time for that, all connected, putting everything back together.
  10. Couldn't agree more, I hate these commercial "special days": Valentines, Halloween, Christmas, Boxing Day, blah blah! Well done, Chris!
  11. Got it this time, thanks! Fitting as we speak, where do I connect the BLUE wire? Do I have to remove the door card?
  12. Thanks Darren! Yeah, she knows, she follows the forum Will let you know when I have all parts and agreed a date with TheZedShed Performance
  13. Oh well, cased closed: "The Food Standards Agency closed a slaughterhouse in West Yorkshire and a processing plant in Wales after an investigation found horse carcasses had been used to make beefburgers and kebabs sold in Britain. The Environment Secretary said he was absolutely shocked by the allegations and expected the full force of the law to be used against anyone involved in the trade. The raids represent the first time British meat suppliers have been involved in the scandal since contaminated beefburgers were discovered in January. Previously, beefburgers and ready meals contaminated with horse meat have been traced to Romania and Poland. Owen Paterson, the Environment Secretary, said: “This is absolutely shocking. “It’s totally unacceptable if any business in the UK is defrauding the public by passing off horse meat as beef. “I expect the full force of the law to be brought down on anyone involved in this kind of activity.â€" http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/foodanddrinknews/9866405/Horse-meat-passed-off-as-beef-by-UK-firms.html
  14. I think he was referring to The Sun article: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4787786/Nabbed-stabbed-and-beaten-wild-horses-to-go-in-our-beef.html Who cares about what DailyMail and The Sun write anyway...
  15. False allegations against Romanian meat producers in the case of the horsemeat found in products sold in the UK The Ambassador of Romania in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Dr Ion Jinga, has declared today the following: “A proper inquiry had been conducted by the Romanian authorities, and from all the data we have at the moment, there was no breach of European rules committed by companies from Romania or on Romanian territory. “We have understood that the horse meat found in meat products sold in the UK has been imported by the lasagne producers as minced meat from another EU member state. Romanian companies do not export any kind of minced meat. The horse meat they export to the other EU markets is not processed and is properly labelled and controlled. “It is outrageous what some media had written about the killing of wild horses from the natural reservation in the Danube Delta. Those horses are all micro-chipped and under permanent surveillance. The NGO “Vier Pfoten†has confirmed that takes care of them and its director reported yesterday that no horse from the reservation has been sacrificed.†“It is very sad that false data has been released without prior checking. This is an unacceptable manipulation and I believe the British public does not deserve to be served with false and distorted information. We in Romania love horse as much as Britons do.â€
  16. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/02/10/horsemeat-in-lasagne-romania-investigates_n_2656702.html "The Romanian government is investigating whether the horsemeat came from a slaughterhouse in Romania, reported the BBC. Frozen foods firm Findus, which has taken its beef lasagnes off shelves said it was looking into legal action as an internal investigation "strongly suggests" that the contamination "was not accidental". The Trading Standards Institute has said the discovery of such high levels of horse meat suggests "deliberate fraudulent activity"."
