  2. Jan in New York...Your Mad..I once spent 2 weeks in Feb in NY in a Ice Storm as they call them you could not go out as it was -25 and if you did most likely you would die from an ice fall from a large building...spend an extra £90 and go in the Spring..! :cold:
  3. Just go to Clark Motorsport on here or Zmanalex and get a Service kit which includes all you want, and also the other items you want, they will also supply. :thumbs:
  4. Every time I put any journeys into Sky Sanner it said "flight unavailable"..
  5. A woman goes to her boyfriend's parents' house for dinner. This is her first time meeting the family and she is very nervous. They all sit down and begin eating a fine meal. The woman is beginning to feel a little discomfort, thanks to her nervousness and the broccoli casserole. The gas pains are almost making her eyes water. Left with no other choice, she decides to relieve herself a bit and lets out a dainty little fart. It wasn't loud, but everyone at the table heard the p oot. Before she even had a chance to be embarrassed, her boyfriend's father looked over at the dog that had been snoozing at the women's feet, and said in a rather stern voice, "Ginger!" The woman thought, "This is great!" and a big smile came across her face. A couple minutes later, she was beginning to feel the pain again. This time, she didn't hesitate. She let a much louder and longer fart rip. The father again looked at the dog and yelled, "Dammit, Ginger!" Once again the woman smiled and thought, "Yes!" A few minutes later the woman had to let another one rip. This time she didn't even think about it. She let rip a fart that rivaled a train whistle blowing. Again, the father looked at the dog with disgust and yelled, "Dammit, Ginger, get away from her before she sh1T's on you!"
  6. What Montezemolo exit means for Ferrari While claims that Formula 1 needs Ferrari have long divided opinion, there is one undeniable truth: Ferrari needs F1 success. As Maranello digests the news that Luca di Montezemolo's 23-year reign as company chairman is coming to an end, it is clear that struggles on track have acted as the catalyst for change. Ahead of expected record profits for Ferrari's road car division, it was telling that in the statement confirming di Montezemolo's departure its future chairman Sergio Marchionne made reference to its F1 difficulties. "Luca and I have discussed the future of Ferrari at length," said the Fiat CEO. "And our mutual desire to see Ferrari achieve its true potential on the track has led to misunderstandings which became clearly visible over the last weekend." Indeed, as Ferrari was suffering its worst showing at the Italian Grand Prix since 2005, Marchionne was telling Italian media just how unhappy he was with the way things in F1 were going. "The important thing for Ferrari is not just financial results, but winning," he said. "For the last six years we have struggled like hell despite the best drivers. "Look, both [Fernando] Alonso and [Kimi] Raikkonen are world champions, both of them. We just can't... I'm terribly upset, we have been watching for a long time, these things are not well." Doing better in F1 is essential - and something that di Montezemolo and Marchionne agreed had to happen. But there were clearly differences of opinion about how that could be achieved. For while di Montezemolo may have favoured the return of old-school factors like unlimited testing, a ramping up of budgets and a hark back to the glory days of Michael Schumacher, Ross Brawn and Jean Todt, the reality is that the world has changed. F1 has been dominated in recent years by relatively new teams like Red Bull and Mercedes, whose focus is not on engineering brilliance but on simply going out there and doing everything they can for results. Ferrari's long-time rival McLaren has openly admitted that it has had to learn to become a 'racing team' again and not an 'engineering company.' Indeed, that break from the past - and an understanding that big change is needed - is something that Ferrari's new team boss Marco Mattiacci talked about earlier this year "I think that Ferrari is going to look different. And the story will tell if it will be better," Mattiacci told AUTOSPORT. "But the change will be across the board - most importantly cultural change and discontinuity. These are the most important things." In Marchionne, Mattiacci finds someone clearly ready to embrace the big changes that are necessary. This is about the future now - and a new way of doing things at Maranello. Winning in F1 is not optional for Ferrari. It is a prerequisite. inShare0

    OEM Exhaust

    Just sold my OEM back box for £50 .
  9. I also have one Its a Snap on One, but anyone that goes up to 150ft lbs is fine. That's a very good price.
  10. This is the best bit of news from the Apple Launch... Meanwhile the Irish rock giants U2 took the opportunity of the Apple launch to present their new album ‘Songs of Innocence’ and offer it for free to the firm’s 500 million iTunes users. Although the music industry concedes that sales of albums are in decline,it’s still a rarity for an artist to actually give away an album for free-especially one of the magnitude of U2.
  11. Happy Birthday all. Have a good one.
  12. I just caught a glimpse of him in my mirror as I was about to pull away, never expected him to just carry on and pull across in front of both me and the bus...UNBELIEVABLE..and they wonder why a few a week get killed. I saw two at the weekend riding side by side in a narrow road deliberately holding up all the cars behind them, somebody behind hooted them and they gave him the V sign. STUPID..
  13. I know we go on about cyclists on here, but I afraid some well deserve it. Tonight I'm driving home about 8.15 and its almost dark, parked at a set of traffic lights turning right into a busy main road with a bus on my inside turning left.... Just as the lights change and I and the bus set off Lance Armstrong with NO lights overtakes me on the right and turns immediately left right across me and the bus, we both had to brake hard to stop slamming into him..!!! :rant: (Also many cars that putting on their lights when it gets dark is to much trouble for them.. ).
