If you wrap it its unlikely to remain 'hidden' anyway as anything under the wrap will come through visually. When you wrap it the lifting of the paintwork and rust will be obvious

I blame car forums in particular...

Or £20 worth of super unleaded and a match. You're so posh! A rag in the filler cap would do the job just fine! I was going to say, why spend extra on super!

As an interesting aside HSBC is not an acronym, it an initialism, acronyms can only be an acronym if they are pronounceable. NASA is an acronym HSBC isn't. So. Christmas was always called Christmas. In the 18th century the first letter for the Greek word for Christ which looks like a capital X (Chi, pronounced Kai as in chi-squared the stats test also written X2) is put before -mas (Latin for Mass) for a shortened way of writing Christmas. The pronunciation never changed to ex-mas. Since which some people started mistakenly calling it ex-mas when it was never actually meant to be said in that way. But, that's now popular language. So. Its originally said Christmas, but more recently its read Xmas although there is the odd Brillomaster out there who says it how it is

I think it all comes down to the engineering, if you put metal tubes up against red hot engine parts, the tubes and the air inside will get hotter. Route these tubes somewhere else and the effect will be different. Also how effective the CAI is means really making fundamental changes to air temps. If air is say 80 degrees, then you cool it to something like 65 degrees, you see an increase air density of 4% its not monumental gains in air intake volumes by any measure - all good and well having cones and nice looking pipes but any effort in cooling the air coming in is quickly diminished by it passing through hot pipework. Probably why the stock intake works so well with thick plastic piping and well shielded casing.

So go wish someone near you right now a merry xmas, how do you say it

What is it she really loves about her job? I think she needs to deconstruct it and then focus on what she needs out of any new role and what she can bring to it and go from there. Has she considered having a few sessions with a career coach? They are great at eeking out what it is you want and get you motivated and moving forwards with purpose. I moved into teaching for 6 months as a maths teacher, was in a well paid private sector job, went to a school for 6 months and moved back corporate (mainly because of financial reasons of our family at the time) side. I agree on the sentiments above around politics etc it really is bordering on farcical sometimes. It sounds like she has a passion for the actual job of teaching, is the content important though, does it have to be maths? Being an engaging 'trainer' is not an easy skill to master and there is plenty of scope in the private sector for people to deliver effective training.

Welcome along, from what I remember the TCS can be switched off there is a button, but it will come back on again each time you start the car.

Looks much better than a roadster, and much easier to maintain than a drop top. I would think some work on the chassis though? If you lose the strength of the roof you will put stresses elsewhere on the car?

To be fair someone had a vision, a great vision, they planned meticulously, they bought the right car for the vision, they stuck by their principles...and did the whole thing on the cheap and when it was done realised what a hideous pile of crap they had created.

Xmas can be read either exmas or christmas according to the dictionary - however who says exmas out loud. The X is an abbreviation of the greek word for Christ the letter X which is pronounced Chi (anyone done the Chi-squared test in statistics its written X2 ) - it was done as slang hundreds of years ago its just that over time people have forgotten it was called Chi-Mas in slang and called it Ex-mas.

I read Xmas as Christmas - I have never heard anyone say happy exmas to me before

Yes it wasn't that far off bottoming out in price at that point. Seemed like a good time to get one. It was low miles (I think something like 40k) so had a bit of a premium on it. And it was black, which also added a little.

Thinking back... Likes: Paying £7k and a bit for a 6 year old 2 seat sports car with a V6 The rear brace looks great looking in the rear window from the outside OEM steering wheel was great to handle and GT controls spot on Engine bay looked very pretty and screamed to be painted/modded Finding my way onto something called 'a forum' for the first time during the purchase process Dislikes: Stock exhaust sound was very underwhelming The rear brace just always seemed to get in the way Just how far into the arches the stock wheels sit The clunky and noisy gear transmission which never really felt 'sharp' The amber parts of the DE headlights

Sat and watched one yesterday over at my brothers, he likes the three of them but in the end he switched off the episode we were watching as it was so slow paced and just boring (one with them in Italy in Dodge, RR and Aston) even he said it was pretty boring so we gave up after 35 minutes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Depends on financial years...ours starts in January

And you have some seriously good skills there! Do what you love, do what you want, do what you need - don't do stuff for anyone elses benefit.

Good skills there, I wince when I see wet sanding, clearly though if you know what you are doing its a great result!

People aren't incompetent, they just choose not to do 50 when its possible to do 50. Its their right in all honesty.
