Here we have a full set of Michelin Aplin PA4s, OEM Rays size - 225/45/18 & 245/45/18 As you can see, 7mm all round. These aren't far off new and have done one winter, circa 3000 miles. Not run flats. Up for sale as I haven't purchased any summer wheels (I was planning to put these on the Rays for winter), I'm predicting winter sun and they're also taking up a fair chunk of my garage space. Me simply putting them up for sale guarantees the buyer that it will snow continuously throughout Dec, Jan and Feb Looking for £400 (including £30 P&P via Paisley) this will be deducted if you come and collect. I don't think you can get all 4 in a Zed without taking some risks on your interior. Paypal gift or bank transfer please. Thanks for browsing. Stu

The weather gods were good to me overnight and provided and opportunity for some beads I even got proper camera out. No fake beads were used during the production of this post As the rain was nice and sand free I gave her an open hose rinse, towel dry and a generous layer of AMMO Skin for the winter months to come. Cure times in 5 degree temperatures are ridiculous. All done

Any network/Internet/broadband engineer in this forum?

Just plugged it in, checked it and wiped out the dark things it has seen It's pretty simple to set up. I'll put a sticker on it with the default IP address and the default administrator login credentials. Then you just plug it in to your phone line, Ethernet it into your PC and type the IP address into your browser. You'll get a password challenge (details will be supplied) and then you will need to know the talk talk gubbins, which you can probably lift off your existing one or off the web. Happy to provide some links from the web if you get stuck. No need to buy it mate, just see if it makes a difference, if it does, you know what the problem is -

Got an oldy lying around if you want to try it. Nothing special but still works. It is Sky branded but it's had its brain wiped and reflashed as stock. You'll just need to set it up. Doesn't come with a filter, but sounds like you've got at least one spare. Drop me a PM if you're interested. No charge. -

I'd try another router if you can get your hands on one. I might even have a spare. Let me have a look. -

Nice Zed, GLWTS. Where is it? -
Calm down, I have paid for and run Windows at home and at work. I prefer OSX but am happy to say Windows 10 has been very good for the limited things I use it for (post 9). If me poking a bit of fun at some of MS less than brilliant releases is upsetting, I'm sorry.

I was planning to carpet the garage, is that not the future? The wheels are "chrome effect" powder coated. Thankfully they look better than the name suggests Picked it on a last minute whim in workshp. Got a couple of bubbles popping up now after a couple of years I'd quite fancy this if I ever get round to it again or

Lucky you! I'm currently looking for a double garage, preferably with some sort of house attached

Due to a combination of grim weather, weekend working and social engagements I've not been able to give The Shark a wash for nearly two months This is probably the longest unwashed period since I've owned her and, to top it off, I have had to do some long runs down to Surrey and Birmingham (twice!) in grim conditions. Today the weather finally broke, temps were freezing but no wind or rain to speak of Grim These water streaks down the arches are what drive me nuts. Minging, I might chunder I've yet to meet a snowfoam (even used at double concentrate today) that can shift the water runs, they're just too well adhered. Envy's Bubbly Jubbly is one of my favourite foams and does a very decent job of tackling them (when viewed from a few feet away, less so up close). But snowfoam is to soften and lift dirt, not to clean. If I was really pushed for time, a snowfoam alone followed by drip dry does a decent job. Apologies for the RDS Another big up for Envy. Evolution wheel cleaner is great, there was an assist from AMMO Plum Wheel Cleaner getting a minute or so dwell time after pre-rinse. No idea what I sprayed on the wheels last time, but it's broken down anyway. After a two bucket wash with AMMO Foam (again double concentrated) and the excellent microfibre madness mitt. All is well again I guess the point of this post (other than me pic whoring and being excited to get a wash done today) is to extol the virtues of decent paint protection. Because the paint has many layers of protection applied over time, even after a long spell without a wash, a couple of hours and she's looking in very decent condition - even if I do say so myself! This is with no LSP, QD, Wax - just some AMMO Hydrate during the towel dry.

This. Anyone who says otherwise either hasn't given 10 a proper go, or has vested interests to say otherwise. It really is everything Windows8.1 should have been, and the seemless upgrade from Win8.1 to Win10 was an impressive job too, i haven't had another OS upgrade so cleanly before. It's normal for the latest OS to be the "best ever" for Android, iOS, OSX, Ubuntu, it's only Windows users who fear upgrades (Windows ME, Vista, Windows 8) and rightly so

You mention writing 4-5k word documents, if this is a regular thing then I'm guessing the feel of keyboard is probably more important than having a more exciting form factor? Before she orders anything, a trip to an old fashioned shop might be worth it, to get hands on. I'm running unning Windows 10 on Bootcamp, seems pretty good for the light stuff I use (Office, Uprev cable, the odd executable), except the two finger scrolling is the wrong way around!!! The only other thing I'd consider is how integrated is your wife's activity into iCloud? If she regularly uses, iMessages, Calendar, iCloud Drive, Apple Music then Windows will be a bit of a pain compared to her Air. iTunes has always been a pig on Windows. If the iPad Pro floats your boat, doesn't iCloud Drive provide a "proper file system"? It's got folders and you can move stuff around, email documents, save them etc.

If you're concerned that's not a great sign, but your best bet is to get a mate/member who knows their 370 onions, or failing that get an inspection by a tech who does. A few quid up front might save you from a lemon. Alternatively, start a rainy day fund to go with the car and hope for the best.

That's gonna make me late for work Great vid, I'd probably take any of them free of charge, if I was choosing, the Ferrari is so choice.

Could well be up for this, I'm date agnostic apart from Euro 2016 clashes (10/6 to 10/7) -
I had that a few months ago, after a reset it came back, after a gentle MAF clean with contact cleaner and a reset it stayed away.

Anyone a Blogger or want to give it a go?
Stutopia replied to Grundy's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Arm wrestling with Chas and Dave? UFC with Matt and Jeff Hardy (or have I missed the point) Also my thread has spiraled I feel somewhat responsible and will tidy it up. -
I bet Ed at Divine and Ricey would be full of useful info, and along shortly. Some people talk of waiting for paint to "de-gas" before applying but that aside. If I was getting fresh paint all over I'd be looking into the Quartz/Silicone/Nano long life coatings or possibly even a full clear vinyl wrap. Edit: before Matt thinks I don't rate him, what I should have stated is, I'd get a pro to do it on brand new paint, rather than DIY. As it's the best chance you'll ever get to protect it and it brings all the tricky to use coatings into play.
