  1. Formula 1 please chaps...
  2. Sold - thread locked
  3. Ha! Seen that sketch it is brilliant. Very clever.
  4. You know we fly our planes and sail our ships off their coastline in international airspace/waters too right?
  5. Yeah but surely we are the goodies and they are the baddies right? I mean, they subversively took Crimea by force, when have we ever invaded a country without warrant
  6. I think both parties have had their say - I am locking this up now and if the OP has further complaint to take it direct to Adrian.
  7. There was some CCTV footage of two people they wanted to find but that suddenly went quiet? But I find it odd that its 99% Russia but we refuse to do anything apart from expel some diplomats?
  8. It's less about publicly showing the evidence and more about sharing it with the accused though. If someone said you did something the first thing you would ask for is evidence of it. Until the Russians see it they can play the card they are which is that it's unfounded and anti-russia.
  9. It all seems a bit odd. The press were pretty much saying it was Russia before any tests were done. Boris has been an utter muppet as usual and I am not sure why the UK are not co-operating with Russia and not disclosing any evidence to them. If its that cut and dried why not share any findings? No doubt Putin is a brutal leader but it all seems a bit odd.
  10. Right OP. If you have a problem with Torqen then I suggest you take it up with them directly - I have left this post here for now as it is viable feedback as much as the appreciation thread is, but do not continue spamming other threads with your copy/pasted complaint.
  11. Does the fix include a full respray? That's how I interpreted the original comment up top? As in fix the panel and fix the bad respray. But in any case £8k based on what we know on this thread is outrageous, you may as well sell the car and buy another one.
  12. Can water stay in a glass even when you turn it upside down? It can when you hold it and spin it fast enough. Can water stay in a glass upside down with just a piece of card under it and no one holding the card, again it can. Amazing what natural forces can do to water when you think about it
  13. It seems you are asking us to answer a lot of questions to justify a belief in round earth so I guess its only fair we throw a few back? Feels like we are getting hung up on YT videos of ships. 1. How do you account for gravity and what evidence do you have on how it works? 2. How do we see lunar eclipses where the earth is between the moon and the sun if they both orbit in a circular motion above the earth? 3. There are 2500 satellites in space put there by a multitude of nations over a number of decades involving tens of thousands of people, are they all 'in on it'? 4. You can buy decent enough telescopes yourself and observe the moon and with some expensive equipment other planets which you can observe rotating, why would it be that our planet is completely different to everything else observed?
  14. Needs price plus postage
  15. They will never tilt as the angle of the curve is so slight given the scale to see a ship tilt at a fraction of a degree with the naked eye is well, just not viable. If you are viewing the ship sailing away from a height of say 6 feet you wont see it go 'over' a curve more sail away and gradually go below the horizon. You say like its proven ships can be zoomed back in as if its a given but I have seen stuff online like you have that disproves it as often as its been 'proven' so that is far from conclusive. Height vs distance makes a massive difference to what you can see, pretty much all videos I looked at which showed high buildings in the distance across water expanse shows part of the building missing and no level of zooming could 'bring it back' as it simply is out of view. The images you see of starman are impressive at the level you see them at i.e. on the screen. The imagery you see on the composite images from Nasa as they are then stitched and then reduced in size for your screen will look on par, the key bit is if you got the nasa original imagery and zoomed in vs starman the clarity of detail would be better. Of course in space there is no air, and as such there is no atmosphere to filter the light passing through it - so you get very clear images in any case. Flat earthers would say that the clarity of image proves it is fake, when in fact by design taking a photo in space with modern equipment makes it easier to get a clear photo.

    Yes will do, nothing amiss since and it literally started going up and I pulled over immediately before the needle got to the top. I always carry spare coolant (Toyota Long life), oil etc. in the car so she got a top up straight away.
  17. Yes going up and seeing the world from that angle would be amazing, clearly would end up being for the privileged few though in our lifetimes. I wonder at what point satellites become to the sea what plastic is to the ocean
  18. Safety? 70% of land on the planet is north of the equator, in the event of an issue its better to have a chance to land somewhere? And demand, if more destinations (and more populated ones) are north of the equator, then would stand to reason you stay north of the equator?
  19. You are right we haven't observed the inside of the earth so have to rely on known laws of physics, experimentation and the like to find a most likely answer. But then flat earthers have not observed a flat earth at all to start with, they haven't provided any evidence that an ice shelf exists around the earth, they haven't tried to prove any of the evidence they present that shows how gravity works via a mystery force from an unknown source - If you are put off by guesswork I struggle with how you can believe moreso not even educated guesswork but complete fantasy that people on the internet have made up. The NASA stuff is always taken out of context. Literally all their imagery is composite they have openly said that, that means they don't get a camera in your traditional sense like joe public would snap something and take a photo (when capturing the detail you need for the shots they need that doesn't make any sense anyway). Its a process of taking detailed smaller snapshots and creating the final image. So its very easy for ISS to take the photo, they just take a number of photos as they orbit the earth. Its all very explanable if you read the full context of NASA related stuff they release instead of the out of context snippets flat earthers quote on websites and videos. Context is everything, a video here and a photo there with a conclusion is just not sufficient - without any controls or context around it, it is kind of worthless as evidence.

    It is pretty loud I can assure you...when we drove up to Cov last year I mentioned how loud it was to Buster I think it was and he was skeptical probably took what I claimed with a pinch of salt. He followed me to the venue and later said 'god your exhaust is effin loud!' Nur Spec has a much better tone to it as well as being a little bit quieter for my tender old ears

    Yep all good mate. I had a little wobble a month or so ago when the temp gauge flew up and there was coolant in the undertray. Of course the FB community (there is no GT4 forum to speak of) went through all the possible issues from water pump (which was replaced before I bought it) to various other doomsday scenarios. Got the undertrays off, and noticed some red dry residue on a rad pipe (which is an aftermarket silicon hose). Checked the clamp and it literally was spinning on the pipe! It was only staying on by virtue of the slightly tight fit - no idea how it came loose. 30 seconds later and some tightening of the clamp ran the car for 30 mins not a single bit of coolant - has run perfect since. I am off on a Euro road trip later in the year so going to do all the belts (they were done about 18k miles ago by previous owner) again anyway no harm in having a load of new stuff on the car. Also looking for a used Blitz Nur Spec exhaust (not really up for paying nigh on £800 for a new one!) as the current one is pretty loud and not sure I could handle 2000 miles of that!
  22. Not specifically a sealant but used this for 3 years now on the Celica and the car still retains its deep red colour. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wax/victoria-wax/victoria-wax-3oz-concours-wax/prod_312.html I am sure others might have gone the extra mile and put sealant on too and will comment shortly!
  23. But not as purposeful as my ST205

  25. Ironically people that live in built up cities where pollution is an issue where EV cars would help very rarely have access to charge from home.
