We work in a democracy, our voice is very well heard but ultimately you have to vote as per any democratic process. We cannot be bullying the EU into our way of thinking because we contribute more. The idea that we contribute more is that our economy is healthy, benefiting from being in the EU, and helping lesser countries improve and contribute more themselves. To say our economic performance makes us 'more capable than most of making the right decisions' is just speculation with no factual backing. What facts can you point me to that show standard of living in the UK is deteriorating compared to other nations? What do you mean other nations refusing to comply 'with our representation' I am not sure what you mean?

Ha as soon as I read this thought of Trunk Monkey!

Now...when I posted up on my GT4 car thread should I go for a an aftermarket front lip Mr Dan barks straight back 'no keep it OEM' - then I open this!

But we are on the winning side in 9 out of 10 votes on Euro policy? We are on the winning side almost all of the time (which puts to bed the whole 400 out of 500 lost argument often put around). What makes you believe we pay such high levels of taxes? Spain a max of 50%, France goes up to 45%, Germany goes up to 45% all very much in line with us - then you look at the Scandinavian countries and they go up to a max of circa 60% As mentioned before we pay 6 days of government collected taxation to be in the largest tariff free trading bloc in the world - 6 days. Flip it on its head and look at it from a micro perspective, if you got an extra weeks pay each year, could you go out and buy a Porsche, buy a new house and build up a huge savings account? Because thats what the Leave campaign are claiming i.e. save the NHS with all the money 'saved' and fund x y and z. If we leave, the money saved will not touch the sides. The NHS costs something like £120bn a year to run, yes we save £9bn a year in EU fees, but we then need to pay out to all the industries in the UK that receive EU subsidies which would knock this figure down to something like £5bn. Then you have the military, education, pensions all massive costs on the government, that few £bn back will not suddenly make the UK this big prosperous nation building new hospitals in every city etc.

I didnt even realise it was still going? I think it was series 4 I watched up to then it just got filled with numpties not worth wasting our relatively short life on, other ways to use an hour or so of your time!

In what way?

And then lose £10k+ when you want to sell the monster Zed you built. Can't see why you would want to do this unless you have money to burn and dont mind not recovering.

Exactly, when you watch his videos on You Tube you can see all the black marks where he had done things a few times over already, a lot of it looked first or second run which was awesome. Also with all the furore in the papers about TG 'disrespecting the monument' clearly they were driving all through London and happen to pass by it and do some handbrakes 100 yards down the road, not like they rocked up there and deliberately decided to doughnut all day next to it. Sabine, awesome, just love the way she laughs her head off when driving like an utter loon right on the edge!

I think they are really starting to find their feet and their roles nicely, like anything when you throw people together it never gels instantly, to simply state there is no chemistry based on the first show was not a fair assessment. I have watched the episode over again it was that good, proper motoring and fun to watch without having to resort to something like converting a van into a boat and drifting down a river and sinking. That all said I really cannot get on with the star section, too long at over 10 minutes.

Really enjoyed tonight, that Ferrari wow, loved sitting in the F12 Berlinetta that time on the Ferrari showroom visit, just love that car.

That's because lots of them glean their info from tabloids mate. Or meme on Facebook! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

...oh and just watched Top Gear this week, it was really good, think you missed out

Nothing will change? Seriously? I think that the fundamental issue with the leave campaign that idea is true. Why would the EU, that funds and maintains all these laws continue to implement and support a country that no longer buys into the 'club. Its not a case of repealing, they simply cannot be continued to be implemented. Whats the plan on this? Again you are saying 'you hope leaders have a plan' but its all 'i hope' 'I should think' etc, there is nothing factual about it and nothing I can honestly stick my hand up for and vote for. If I came to you and said give me five grand, dont stick it in the bank and earn interest. I will make you back more, not sure how, or when, or with who. But you will be better off than those untrustworthy banks, would you give me the money?

It was said generally tongue in cheek, but you miss the points. Firstly that the assumption that the EU 'interferes' and creates laws that we do not need or want (i.e. all this talk of taking back control and the EU having a say in our affairs) and secondly that the actual genuine fact is that this law exists and benefits consumers, what is fiction is that the UK will be able to easily implement a replacement equivalent law should we leave (as per your language 'Im pretty sure' and 'create similar' this is guesswork at best). And really, my point around the whole thing is that there are going to be hundreds, if not thousands of laws we are going to have to rehash, if you look at how long it takes to get a single law through parliament this is a quite scary thought - I generally do not think that the government will give us the consumer rights that the EU give. They could quite easily just say you know what, this isn't important, we got other things to sort out, leave the consumers to take it up individually with the airline themselves (under which they have no clear rights for a claim). All I keep hearing from the Leave campaign is 'oh it will get sorted' or 'it will be negotiated' but I havent even heard from the Leave campaign who is doing all this? Which government department? When? With who? Where do these people come from? How many experienced unilateral trade negotiators does the government have on its books? Whats the time frame? There are no answers because no one in the Leave campaign has any idea of what they are doing if we do leave using the excuse around uncertainty as a reason not to present a plan. If this were a business plan presented to an investor they would run a mile laughing their backsides off.

RTP charged me £220 I think it was to respray my front bumper and remove the burger/flatten the recess

Milltek is a high quality exhaust, around £900 brand new I think. Couple it will sports cats (which will also pass MoT) and it really comes alive when you put your foot in a bit, it will turn heads, but nice and discreet when cruising. The dual mass flywheel is VERY heavy, I got a new one for my Zed many years back and it weighed an absolute tonne, delivery guy was bamboozled by how such a relatively small package could be so heavy. You will lose plenty of power with it, and gain a fair bit back with single mass (although they do rattle when installed).

Either remove and repaint/fill the area left flat or simply spray the badges a colour you want. There are some other more bespoke Z badges out there, but respraying the standard ones gives a good effect.

Well after arriving at Palma airport for our flight back yesterday and still being there 6 hours later thanks to delayed EasyJet flights, everyone when getting off when we finally arrived in Gatwick were saying how they were going to claim online for compensation...I wonder how many of them realised that they will be claiming under one of 'those' EU directives put in place by the EU to ensure customer fairness across all airline travel...article number 261 in this case. I wonder how many of those people claiming are voting out. So many EU directives are good and are there to support everyday people, when we are out, things such as consumer protection, safety etc will need to be reworked by the government. It really does boggle the mind how much legislation we will have to recreate, its going to take years and years.

I never even thought to think that haha. I wonder if the previous owner changed them, he was meticulous with the detail and spent a fortune on this car... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's quite scary, if the whole thing were to crumble. That being the case though, I dont think we'll be leaving, there'll be a higher power that guarantees we'll stay in for sure. There was some figures on here pages back that showed the Italians quoting the above in a survey, reason why the breakfast show doesn't quote the rest of the research was that pretty much every other country in the study didn't want a referendum and most would vote stay if they had one...

Bit bizarre in red square having the Kremlin one side and Starbucks the other! There is a big street racing thing in Moscow (was on a work visit and company owner took me out in her modified Infinity!) vodka with beer is normal and vodka is great! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You won't get a decent rust free manual TT for under £5k-£6k. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seems a bit suss, they havent got any reviews and they seem to have them for many other cars, only £75 for a Ferrari! Possibly knock offs?
