  1. Not personally although seen one around my way a few times, got a photo of it in the shell garage up the road with an AA van helping it out!
  2. Although looking at how low the car is already, in terms of day to day driving about it cannot be lowered much further so those gaps cannot be closed to the degree I think would make the car look much better IMO
  3. must have the ride comfort of a shopping trolley and those arch gaps! Tyres aside, I like the colour in isolation but not sure it goes with this particular car. I was sitting on the fence for a while but the more I looked at it the more it didn't quite look right. Still as others have said, your car, as long as you like it thats all that matters.
  4. A good link https://coronavirus.blackstonechambers.com/credit-when-credit-wont-do/
  5. Matt Lucas makes it very clear for us all
  6. Just got in my car, roof off, drove it to the top of the road and reversed back down again and parked it (live in a culdesac with one cars width road). Felt I had to move it as it has been stationary for 7 weeks!
  7. I think people are just giving up mate. Went for a walk with wife and son earlier and as we completed our little loop around Richmond a bloke in his 50s with younger lady friend in passenger seat of his 430 convertible Ferrari went tearing down the high street. Maybe I am being too judgemental and he was a doctor and she was a nurse and they were car sharing on the way to work...
  8. Is 'thicktard' a word? I'm not sure, possibly, @ATTAK Z can confirm, anyway if it is or not these people queuing are an apt example of 'thicktards'.
  9. Would have been today Look at that weather as well.
  10. Absolutely no chance. in 6 weeks we have gone from lockdown not allowed out for anything but groceries and exercise to ... lockdown not allowed out for anything but groceries and exercise. Any easing of lockdown is going to be acute, i.e. allowed out a couple of times a day, maybe allowed to go see your immediate family. Not a chance you can mingle with 40 randoms in a car park.
  11. Perfect for the VX...which hasn’t moved in 7 weeks!
  12. I had a 5 day trip to Paris booked using Eurostar and Airbnb. Eurostar were being crafty running trains even during lockdown and saying that I only get a voucher - a short stint calling them out on Twitter got me through to someone there who would pay me back. Airbnb we just applied for the cash under the lockdown exemption and it worked. The issue travel companies face is that they don’t actually have your cash...if you booked a flight and hotel with them that money is sitting with the hotel and the airline, not with them. So they need to be getting refunds back from them before they can hand cash back to you, they are just the brokers who take a small slice of cash off the top. I can understand why companies want to retain the cash and send vouchers as it’s their existence on the line, but also get the flip side that people need the cash back.
  13. Yes the equivalent price at Opie Oils and a few other sites was slightly cheaper but at half price ECP was significantly cheaper. As I say, only use these sorts of companies when on a significant deal.
  14. To be honest I only ever use any parts sales company when in big sale mode - that oil would normally be nigh on £50 for 5L and I had no need for the stuff to arrive in 2 hours so to get it that quickly is a bonus.
  15. X Ash Archangel - possibly, its yet to be confirmed. Spelt X Æ A-12 I mean, really?
  16. I guess it depends on location? I bought some oil yesterday (Shell Helix Ultra £24 happy days) at 1pm it arrived at my door just before 3pm
  17. Sale on for today only - I just ordered a load of stuff with same day delivery (which was free!) it arrived in 2 hours - put in OILFILTER50 into the checkout section to get the 50% off the price https://www.eurocarparts.com/
  18. You must have some HUGE seagulls round you mate!
  19. Also resprayed the dash plates, they were blue but put them to black
  20. It's certainly doable, as long as you throw the cash at it, anything is doable. But do check where you are and what you need to get to. There is a thread on the forum somewhere showing loads of members posting up the post mods/remap dyno readout, plenty with a thousands thrown at them don't reach 330bhp.
  21. You will be glad to know, I went with black
  22. Well first thing I would do is go down to a dyno and get some runs on the car and know where you are right now. At least you know how far you need to go and some people on here who know a lot more than me can advise if this is doable from where you are now.
