That's a sodding perfume! :lol: Lotus Chrome Orange, or Porsche Riviera Blue. Google them, then tell me I'm wrong. P.S. I'm not. PRB is just a poor man's Bayside Blue TBF, LCO isn't bad, if you're colour blind to the orange part of the spectrum

Real, real fake, fake fake real?

Happy to pay sky £50+ a month because they're not just a one trick pony, you've already mentioned Sky Atlantic content, not to mention Sky Movies. Exactly how am I better off as a consumer now paying more for the same content?

BT was privatised in 1984, openreach wasn't formed until 2006. The 20 year monopoly in between is what has established the dominant position.

Is this the official, "Dan makes me think of Rubber" thread? If so this rubber made me think of Dan when I was hanging out with NASA. MPSS, good enough for driving in space.

You realise that that's not BT's fault, and that's exactly what Sky did with the PL to terrestrial TV? No-one's holding anyone hostage, it's a free market and you can choose to pay or not. I choose not to. If you have the internet, there's no need to pay BT to watch CL football. It's out there, you just need to know where to google. I'm not a fan of Murdcohm but that's not quite fair on Sky, the football was worth peanuts back then and only just starting to go mainstream off the back of Italia 90. They turned it into this "product" when no one else was that interested. Also they were a genuine market new entrant. BT (as it is now) aren't the same as Sky was then, BT have a stranglehold on infrastructure, which they didn't have to pay to install in the first place, it was paid for by the people. This has put them in an artificially strong position and gives them the clout to win the rights, not becuase they have a vision, or because they are offering something different or innovative, simply becuase they can name their price on line rental for most ot the UK (even if some people notionally pay line rental to other providers, they then pass it on to BT). It's a borderline anti-competitive position that has allowed them to break it up. If you look at OnDigital or Setanta, who had to get into the football the hard way, they've sunk without a trace, becuase they don't have the cash cow BT has and offered a less good product than Sky.

Bayside Blue

Yeah, I know what you mean, if Sky hadn't chopped that lot off my bill I wouldn't have touched them. It stinks that they are in such a strong position becuase they've effectively got a monopoly on the copper gifted to them by the state, yet they drag their feet on nearly everything. If it wasn't for virgin shaking things up a bit in the fibre stakes, they probably wouldn't have gotten round to starting UK fibre roll out yet.

I had a moan at Sky for keeping my bill the same but loosing the Champions League, the knocked £22 off pcm, nearly enough to cover the subscription to BT Sport. Think I'm £2 pcm down, but UCL is back baby

Real or fake?

That veyron one looks ok, GB anyone?

I'm sure whenever I read reviews of the MPSS they are more durable than other brands, unless how many miles you get out of your tyres isn't a "real world" consideration.

My '50 is GM (there's a small pic of it in my sig ) I have moments when I wish I'd gone for azure but of the 70s the black edition in black with the red interior is the one I really have a thing for.

Youth hostelling with Chris Eubank? I think the LM blue edges it, but it's a close run thing.

If isn't CG, it must be mag lev! http://arxpax.com

Anyone seen SMD? He's usually in.

I say, if you want it, it feels good, it's not too illegal and everyone consents, DO IT! Personally I'd be tempted to spend double on a Seiko Kinetic and it'll last forever and is "genuine" JDM YO!

Seeing how much oil there was splattered about and it visibly dripping in the vid, I'd personally check the oil first thing again every morning before you put the keys anywhere near the ignition. If you've only put in 1 litre and that lot has been coming out for a while, who knows how much is in there.

I emailed and asked to see the certificate of authenticity, anyone else not certain it's trustworthy?

There is no law that states any retailer should take an item back due to it being unsuitable. A contract is formed between seller and buyer upon exchange of payment. Only faulty items are regulated by law. Go along with most of that BBK, but it's a bit of a sweeping statement. Formerly "distance selling", now Consumer Contracts Regulations, allow you to cancel many items within seven working days from the day after you recieve your goods.

I had the scorpion then replaced it with a cobra resonated, ran both with HFCs, the cobra is appreciably louder and there is a little drone around about 2-3k ish, but I generally pull through that rev range quite quickly. The only time I ever really notice it is when I'm in a 50 in 6th. The Scorpion sounds good on the beans but I personally prefer the Cobra as an all round unit though.

Love the one of el Che and the Beard. I went to Che's childhood home in Alta Gracia, Argentina. One of the highlights of my credit crunch enforced year off.
