  1. Wont be everyone's taste, but you got to admire the balls on a car if this value! http://www.thefancy.com/things/300260837/Blackredchrome-Mercedes-McLaren-SLR
  2. Right, made some progress (see link below) X Vision now have a product on the market, but I am still waiting for details on the compatibilty with the existing Nissan Connect Screen and a forum kit price. Please bare with me.... http://www.x-vision.co.uk/section.php?xSec=279

  5. You might not even need that, if Google develop these glasses things (below) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/26/google-glasses-sebastian-thrun-charlie-rose_n_1457317.html
  6. I have popped an e-mail in to chase up the progress of this with XVision. I will post as soon as i hear somthing
  7. Now my experiences with this one always makes me laugh. I nearly always ring up first and tell them im coming to look at a particular car and would like a test drive. I guess really you shouldnt do this as it gives them chance to make sure that the car is all ready, warmed up and any problems are hidden - rather than catching them unawares. But, 8 out of 10 times ive pre-warned the garage im coming to look at a particular car, they have not even made an effort to get it ready for a test drive. Usually the car is about 5 cars deep on their forecourt, more often than not it has a flat battery. One I went to see had flat tyres, flat battery and was in their showroom, blocked in by about 4 cars. I really dont understand it. Sure, they may get the odd time waster who rings them up, but if someone was to go to the effort to call me and arrange a test drive, id damn well make sure i had the car sitting there, all perfect ready to go. Its not just car dealers, i had the same thing with an R1 motorbike. Called up, reasured it was a lovely example. Drove 45miles to garage, they then couldnt find the keys to the bike, it had flat tyres, they had to pump these up, then move a load of bikes out of the way to wheel it out onto the forecourt, only to find the thing wouldnt start and no amount of jump starting would get it to go. I took great satisfaction in showing the sales man I had 7 grand in cash in my pocket and he`d just lost a sale as I walked off. He litterally came running after me begging me to stay. Needless to say I didnt. Ahh, but, if the sales chappy is un-organised, and you are genuinely up for a deal, the best place you want the garage is on the back foot - no? Also another outstanding way to achieve this, is to book the demo on line via a manufactures website, these are usually painfully under managed!
  8. It does look better than I expected TBH
  9. Ooo, just another quick point if you are looking at older cars for sub £1k you will undoubtably be looking at more body restoration than mechanical as most of the stuff mentioned has an MOT!! Food for thought!
  10. Would You marry Again? - Priceless A husband and wife are sitting quietly in bed reading when the Wife looks over at him and asks the question.... WIFE: "What would you do if I died? Would you get married again?" HUSBAND: "Definitely not!" WIFE: "Why not? Don't you like being married?" HUSBAND: "Of course I do.." WIFE: "Then why wouldn't you remarry? " HUSBAND: "Okay, okay, I'd get married again." WIFE: "You would?" (with a hurt look) HUSBAND: (makes audible groan) WIFE: "Would you live in our house?" HUSBAND: "Sure, it's a great house." WIFE: "Would you sleep with her in our bed?" HUSBAND: "Where else would we sleep?" WIFE: "Would you let her drive my car?" HUSBAND: "Probably, it is almost new." WIFE: "Would you replace my pictures with hers?" HUSBAND: "That would seem like the proper thing to do." WIFE: "Would you give her my jewelry?" HUSBAND: "No, I'm sure she'd want her own." WIFE: "Would you take her golfing with you? HUSBAND: "Yes, those are always good times." WIFE: "Would she use my clubs? HUSBAND: "No, she's left-handed." WIFE: -- silence -- HUSBAND: "@*!#."
  11. Depends on the company policy and the insurance: ie When I was at Audi, we used to chuck the keys a clients and ask when would they be back with it! At Merc I would only be allowed to do this for an existing customer At Nissan very rarely would this happen at all 99% were accompanied...
  12. Fantastic job, how long did it all take?
  13. Sorry, it was my understanding that the resistors were in case you have a "Bulb Blown" warning in the car the wattage wasn't enough to register this with an LED so extra resistance was needed. Apologies if I am wrong
  14. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... zone=PDPz1 ^^ That one is worth the extra £10. Ratchet spanners are a godsend at times Spot on, Ian. That one you linked to Rmacnair isn't the Pro range, the one Ian posted up is. And this........ http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_161348_langId_-1_categoryId_165469
  15. Agreed on the above, BTW But, I recently had to get into this a bit, as I just binned my Company car. I bought a 20 year old MB 190e (see thread) I chose this as they a beautifully mechanical very little in the way of tricky electric or specialist knowledge, ideal for me! Its needed a good clean up and there a few bit to tinker on with but generally its also a user & most of the bits are cheap from eBay and what not! Whilst I understand this car wont be for everyone, as a little tip. When I was looking I found that the classified section in Carandclassic.com, realised the bargains. PH & Autotrader was much more expensive. Any way some great fun to be had, enjoy My Thread http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=60844 Some cars that made my list Saab 99 (way cool this!) http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C278498 Porsche 924 Lux http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C294665 AlfaSud Sleepless nights here I think http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C293747
  16. Awesome amount of work and patience there - Nice job. Well done!
  17. Looks very SMD. Did it take long to adapt?
  18. Best of luck with the search along
  19. I think so but to be honest by this point my dad was doing my head it as you can by pic three, that's me staring out the window, trying to hold on to my sanity
  20. So me and my father attended the launch day at JCT600 Silverlink Newcastle on Tuesday. It was very busy, and they had two in the showroom. One was Silver with dark grey interior the other (photo'd below) was grey with beige leather, not a combo I would have gone for but looked nice and different. There was also a couple of other slightly more unusual Porkers too! Again sorry for the iPhone pics taken by the old man, but in his defense you could barely move in there. A Goodwood Spyder racer This thing is massive! Carrea GT Sorry couldnt get near the back, so its one of these monsters if you were woundering!! http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=porsche+carrera+gt&um=1&hl=en&client=safari&sa=N&rls=en&biw=1024&bih=601&tbm=isch&tbnid=InhSNxLtQbciFM:&imgrefurl=http://www.sportscarcup.com/porsche-carrera-gt/&docid=7ODG71DvG-hgCM&imgurl=http://www.sportscarcup.com/cars/silver-porsche-carrera-gt-back.jpg&w=650&h=488&ei=geKTT73ZLYTd8APawNjNDA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=422&vpy=55&dur=2476&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=159&ty=118&sig=117972427891179964455&page=1&tbnh=113&tbnw=171&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:7,s:0,i:148
