  1. ...on that note, footballers should be categorically banned from twitter - as it systematically shows them up for the utter imbeciles they are.

    Steps from Aerokit and front splitter is a Stillen (bought from Tarmac) ...hey, no copying now
  3. Price is just wrong, too high. Get some standard plugs off someone off here then drive to a few indys and get them to take a look. Can be done yourself easily enough but with sparks its very easy to make a mistake ie drop them, break them etc. So if not confident or have someone local to help try some local garages. It doesnt take an hour and a half to change them btw...
  4. I have to say, the 911 sounds terrible, sounds like there is something wrong with it
  5. Am 37 and can't say I have a Porsche itch, in fact, given the amount of them around here quite happy to swerve them to be honest...
  6. On the megapixel issue, really, you only need higher than about 8mp if you intend to showcase your photos on anything printed out a larger size than A4 as a general rule - I have an 8mp canon DSLR that have owned for about 6 years now and is still fantastic and have no need to trade up from for what I use it for. Unfortunately retailers selling cameras in effect tricked consumers into thinking mp's are all important when it is more important to have: Decent brand Sensor quality Optical not digital zoom (optical is physical movement of the lens to zoom whereas digital zoom is literally zooming in on the picture thus reducing the number of active pixels - avoid any digital zoom reliant cameras) Brand wise, Canon and Nikon are very much up there as category leaders as they have huge investment and history in the category - Sony are ok although they are literally just the old Pentax brand that they purchased and rebranded, Panasonic are very much market leaders in innovation so you get great stuff from them also. Oh and invest in a decent little read on taking photos, spending an hour or so learning the basics will transform the quality of pictures you take Also, think about investing in some decent software on your computer, one of the major advantages of digital photography is that its now easy for your average consumer to do the 'dark room' stuff and tinker with the shots to adjust for colour, exposure etc - I got photoshop elements but there are some good free bits of software out there for basic touching up.

    Not lowered, just cant get away with a lowered Zed in this part of the country - but the steps and splitter make the car look nice and low despite being on standard springs

    Yep, aerokit side steps, look really good with the front splitter, NASCAR style!

    ...took the Zed for a spin (ended up near BAE in Frimley, Will?) Rather than the usual back roads into my place in Richmond, stopped on the Hill, weather cleared - stunning place to be whipped out the iPhone and snapped a few. You might spy Twickenham stadium in the background

  14. If England played the most dull, boring, 1-0 targeted football .. and won the tournament - I wonder if people would complain then...
  15. Germany, although if you want dark horses (relatively speaking) then the French are in tremendous form at the moment.
  16. Stillen - if you want something that sounds good but still maintains performance. Panel filter if you want 1bhp extra on top of the 250bhp you already have...

  19. Have read a few books about him and generally he is as close to superman in mortal form as you can get - absolutely nails ex-SAS. In the Top Gear interview he very calmly talks about having to cut his own fingers off etc - the best bit is when some locals in his barracks village complained of a film company setting up in the village centre and generally making a mess of it, lots of noise etc - so he went and signed for some explosives and blew the set up. ...despite incredible intelligence he actually lost his first car, was in germany or something and parked it, got drunk, couldnt remember where it was parked the next day and never found it again
  20. I was with the marketing director from our company as well, so the pair of us being whizzed around town, got back to our hotel in the cars around 1am and they wanted to do vodka shots - we both said no thanks tired etc - when they drove off we both looked at each other, almost psychic in its moment, just turned without a word and walked into the bar next door and ordered a pint each!
  21. This is a Moscow thing, not a Beemer thing in my view - had a work trip to Moscow a few years back and the CEO and her daughters boyfriend (bizarre as it may seem) took me out to see the night time street circuit in their Infinity and BMW cars. Was quite amazing watching on public roads between roundabouts cars hammering it off from lights and going sideways etc. In those two cars though they were racing each other through Moscow streets hitting about 100mph across a bridge at one point (I 5hit you not) absolutely ridiculous, and we weren't the only ones.
  22. I had stillen intake spacer milltek Berkshire combo on mine gained around 19bhp I think from memory although the big thing for me was seeing a wonky bhp and torque line become very flat and consistent :-)
