Yes I have read that they drive amazingly well

What even this model of Porsche have to say those 4 seater porsches are pretty awful looking!

...try buying a modified R33 mate and see what its really like to have people wanting to race you all the time I often disappoint though with my pedestrian driving style.

haha the Humpmeister won something!

I hate to be rude and i am not trying to be, but, who cares what you think/thought about the show, it didnt need to be any more creative than "oh lets race a car from here whilst blah blah etc" it was a raging success, just because it doesnt appeal to you, doesnt mean it needed changing just to suit your watching requirements, as the below without shadow of a doubt proves. It had 5 million viewers in this country, 350 million worldwide, £150 million revenue stream, 23 million fans on facebook, 4m subscribers to its youtube channel etc I hate the Xfactor with a passion, but who am i to argue with its viewers numbers/revenue stream, to think, it needs refreshing or changing would be borderline insanity. If you seriously think you have the answers to what the people want out of TG, the BBC are looking for someone just like you Fine a few people on here want a love in with JC and others do not understand the difference between a brand and a name, others seem to think that two guys tanking it out at work is fine if you shake hands at the end (which this situation certainly was not) but what I wrote is not untrue and the whole car race against something else and doing a travel show at the same time has been done more than once has it not? People have already said on here that to replace these three is impossible, it wont work, it wont be the same, so I think in this case evolution rather than revolution is the way forwards - they dont replace like for like but they keep roughly to the ethos and work the new programme around the new presenters - do I think its a valid argument, yes. Do I think they need me? Possibly, but more likely they will go to one of my peers in the brand research industry and get them to have a look at it, run some experiments by test audiences and the like. edited: and also done with this topic

As above, good price and generally buyers would expect to haggle down prices anyway, very rarely you will have someone come in and just pay you the price outright. Ring them back and see if you can meet halfway?

Its a good point - to think that those three guys wrote all the programme, the script and made everything off their own backs is clearly not true. There are talented people behind the scenes who make all this happen, with it being reinvented, will they be reinvented out? I think it needs evolution not revolution so the star guys behind the scenes still have a role but can be more creative than 'oh lets race a car from here whilst the other two get on a paraglider' or something along those lines.

Often better to get a few items shipped at once, any other V35 owners want in possibly?

They were technically working off site I would have said, staying in a hotel paid for by the BBC - that pretty much classifies it as being on a work event. If it wasnt a work event at all then it makes it even worse, that Clarkson was holding the producer to ransom for hot food when in fact they were 'outside of work' - if that was the case why is it the producers fault, surely Clarkson is liable to feed himself? No indeed that was my question - and I agree it makes it worse if it were out of work. I guess JC has got used to having people be at his beck and call. The producer undoubtedly had a long day himself and just let it slip. It's not as if London is a hard place to get food though - I'm surprised it all escalated so quickly. It goes back to the comments made by some speculators that there is/was a history between them and this was the straw that broke JC's career at the BBC. Producer didnt let it slip, Clarkson got to the hotel 2 hours late and missed the hot food as the hotel chef had finished for the day. Not really something the producer let slip I think. It just makes such bad reading, imagine you were a highly paid publicly visible employee of a company, you finished work, got hammered, messed all your colleagues around and then verbally abused someone before punching them - onyl one place the blame lies here...!

Reading the media you would think the announcment accounted to 'he verbally abuse and hit the guy so we are not renewing his contract' - its a 90 second announcement which includes him prasing clarkson for what he has done, admitting he is a huge talent and that he loves the programme BUT physical abuse of a work colleague is crossing the line and has to be dealt with - sounds like a perfectly reasoned result and one any good employer had to come to and mentions at the end that they are already looking ahead to TG 2016.

Plenty of threads on this - do a searchy...

All depends, if his lip is splity in two and wont stop bleeding then yes you probably would head to the A&E to get stitched up - if its a shaving nic then probably not. Apparently he had bruising to the head in a few reports (as we have to rely on) so could have been concussed as well and did the sensible thing to get checked out (although driving himself there wasnt!) Just seemed like the logical conclusion to me, a guy has previous, is on a very public final warning, gets drunk and verbally abuses a work colleague and strikes him - if thats what happened it really is a no brainer. As for 'well we had it out then shook hands' etc, well thats all well and fine if you both decided to go down that route but the producer wasn't and just took a lot of abuse both verbal and physical without reacting, sometimes it takes the bigger man to do that.

Must have something to move to, Sky etc would have been all over it the second they got suspended.

Yep he's gone, and they mentioned that the producer ended up in A&E - but that could have been for anything from a cut lip to a broken arm for all we know. But they made the point, you cant have one rule for one and another for others, I am pretty sure if the producer verbally and physically assaulted JC over the course of 20 minutes he would have been out on his ear also.

I would like to see the actual process - the producer by all accounts didnt actually file a report against JC so seemed willing to deal with it under the table as it were. Pretty sure some rumours were that JC handed himself in, although it was hardly galant given there were going to be witness accounts in the news the next morning anyway... ...seems unfair that the producer has done nothing wrong (as far as we can see) and is going to be vilified by a few JC nut jobs.

First port of call is open the front and if there is a foil tube in there it needs changing for something more substantial! There is also a full heater replacement part which a guy on the forum makes, a big step up from the asthmatic standard one!

My bog standard NA VX220 'felt' on par with my Zed (although given the vastly different experiences who knows), bolting a supercharger on it, and then taking it to a stage 2 output hmmmm might make it a pretty potent weapon on the road - and yes, quite some distance faster than a Zed. First mod if it doesnt already have it is to change the heater tubing - god these cars can get cold!

...and a classic clip of a forum member - beware the wet weather!

This might help... http://www.vx220.org.uk/forums/topic/136720-supercharged-vx220-for-sale/

Might test drive one! i hear they are pretty tuneable too! Clearly the turbos benefit quickly in terms of tuning via remaps but the NAs have to go the supercharged route for some serious bhp increases. Although I have seen (and heard ) the ITB cars and they are pretty bloody impressive also.

Ha was waiting for this post Glad you are enjoying it mate, these cars are pretty epic as you say being stuck to the ground, inches above it, with tremendous speed capabilities it is a whole different world to the Zed - every petrolhead should own one at some point!

I still don't know how they won that, WebOs from Palm had that feature before Apple. I dont know the ins and outs either but did WebOs and Palm patent it?

Wow that is a stroke of luck mate, have to say this news has made my afternoon - I think like most on here hate these scammers ripping people off.

Absolutely BRILLIANT NEWS mate, well done So whats the fallout in terms of the account it went to, if they have given it back they must be admitting that it was fraudulent and therefore the account is part of a criminal activity? Wont the banks fraud dept be pursuing them?
