350z Stillen Louvers Group Buy - 20% off
Stutopia replied to Tarmac@TarmacSportz's topic in Tarmac Sportz
Tad late but I can do 10% off for Easter Off everything ?? -
Well that sucks Never seen this product before but it sounds interesting. Palm off your excess to a third party for less than the rental company charge. I might use this for Road Trip Scando as it's waaaaaaay cheaper then their own excess waiver - £50 worldwide for a year! http://www.insurance4carhire.com

Not convinced by these magnetic bottomed buckets, I'd be worried all the water will fall out.

It's god advice. A mate bought an XKR to tour down to Italy and back, did just short of 6k miles, sold it for 500 sheets less than he paid when he got back. Winning, if you've got the 20k to drop in the first place I've just rented an X3 for two weeks in Denmark, £835 If you do rent from the UK, I rented on and off for a few years with Enterprise and they were cheap and decent service in my experience. Watch out for excess waivers though, they don't push them aggressively but they are fiercely priced (e.g. £1k excess) to scare you into them. They did me a Diesel Estate Passat, it was a superb mile cruncher and super relaxing to drive, if a little bit of a boner killer.

Hate it when there's a POS parked next to you?
Stutopia replied to Stutopia's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Yeah that looks ace! What is it? Thanks. I was a bit unsure at first as they're a bit Mustang wannabe, but hell, who doesn't want to be in a Mustang As Jimboy2 helpfully pointed out , they're Stillen louvres, painted black, from Tarmac. I really really like them but they've hidden my club sticker -

It's parked with the back right up to the bush, with my front lip, I'd lose 4 feet of paint on the curb if I went in any deeper. I can assure you from my nosey through the window (probably some drool still on there) there was nothing replica about the beautiful leather interior Got to own one one day. -
More often than not after work I get out to my car and there's a POS next to me, with different panels all round, not one of them straight, parked 2 inches from my driver's door. There's at least three dings on it, to testify to how much this idiot doesn't care about his car or anyone elses. Imagine my pleasure at walking out today and seeing something where I know the owner has taken care getting in and out the driver's side There should be a no POS section of the car park I think, where mouthbreathers aren't allowed

Wow, that's a definitive stance. There's not even a 1% chance it is the ball joint end?

Exicting times! Number plate polishing is too far, just buy a new set

Returning to the Nissan family, after a brief absence...

I quite like them... I'll get my coat. -
Have a quick look here, I got a short vid of my noise/knock which has been forum diagnosed as bananabar ball, rather then bananabar bush. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/96426-name-my-knock-rattle/

Congrats buddy. Forum stag in Vegas yeah???

Stuff like this boils my ****! I bet you'd be 'interested' if the state made you pay 60% income tax, doubled the cost of petrol and made you pray three times a day. Politics impacts everything. You don't think these idiots really run the country do you? All this parliament stuff is just a public front, so I doubt whoever you vote for, really makes much difference. It's all here, in So I Married An Axe Murderer. The Pentaveret

Well people will certainly get their wish as the whole welfare system is getting a shake up, Universal Credit, the bill is an alleged £12.8 billion (against a £2 billion budget), which funnily enough won't be confirmed until after the election result comes in. They're not even April's Fools figures

Tried this, drop links were solid as a rock. Thanks

That's beautiful, congratulations.

Probably because it's a bit of a myth they come here to sponge. Immigrants to the UK since 2000 have made a "substantial" contribution to public finances, a report says. The study by University College London said recent immigrants were less likely to claim benefits and live in social housing than people born in Britain. The authors said rather than being a "drain", their contribution had been "remarkably strong". The government said it was right to have strict rules in place to help protect the benefits system. Immigrants who arrived after 1999 were 45% less likely to receive state benefits or tax credits than UK natives in the period 2000-2011, according to the report by Prof Christian Dustmann and Dr Tommaso Frattini from UCL's Centre for Research and Analysis of Migration. They were also 3% less likely to live in social housing. "These differences are partly explainable by immigrants' more favourable age-gender composition. However, even when compared to natives with the same age, gender composition, and education, recent immigrants are still 21% less likely than natives to receive benefits," the authors say. 'Highly-educated immigrants' Those from the European Economic Area (EEA - the EU plus Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) had made a particularly positive contribution in the decade up to 2011, contributing 34% more in taxes than they received in benefits. "Given this evidence, claims about 'benefit tourism' by EEA immigrants seem to be disconnected from reality. Immigrants from outside the EEA contributed 2% more in taxes than they received in the same period, the report showed. Over the same period, British people paid 11% less in tax than they received. So what your saying Is, if the immigrants who dont work and claim benefits werent here, we would be even better off Check So we all agree, if your an immigrant and work and pay into the system, fill your boots, if your not, no thanks, we dont want you basically just about averaging out the hard working ones What I'm saying is the UK is in better position with immigration than it is without. If you wanted to examine how we "would be even better off Check " you can throw in not just the benefit claimaint immigrants, but also the uk claimants of benefits, disabled people, pensioners, the terminally ill - hell they all cost a fortune so we'd be "better off" without them. Obviously that's Ionly if you only count "better off" in money.

The article is about tax income derived from immigrants versus benefits they recieve, so it really doesn't matter what they do with their disposable income, after tax, they still generate income into the treasury. Obviously as they are shape shifting immigrants they don't have to buy food, pay for utilities, pay rent, pay for transport or any of the other things we all have to spend money on to live and work, so they "don't spend much of thier earnings in the uk, they send it home to where ever". Also, it's based on verifiable stats, not from the WW book of anecdotes and superstitions

Apparently the presenters have a different contract to cover the live shows, so they can go ahead but may have to be renamed that's all. Imagine all the merchandise that now can't be sold at the event or can it? I couldn't find TG butt plugs on line, so they've already been pulled from stockists. All that was left was:

Jobseekers allowance is actually rather far down the list of benefit bills, but don't tell the Mail or the Tories. It's those laxy pensioners who cost us all a fortune, sitting around watching cash in the attic, eating scones and doing scratch cards

It doesn't say much about where we've come since we last stood up against the persecution of minorities. I find it frustrating the one policy approach not only attracts people, it also attracts the media. So instead of talking about the creeping privitasion of the NHS or foodbanks or energy production or the roads or constant state interference in education, everyone seemingly gets distracted wondering if whether 3000 Eastern Europeans (in pot of 6 billion people) moving from place X to place Y are going to collapse the benefit system. The poor buggers have only come here to do jobs the indigenous population don't want, they'll probably go home once they realise how crap the weather is Something which costs a few million quid can be used to distract from the billions being diverted into pockets of companies who don't even feel the need to pay tax in the UK! But what can you do, the right always gets attention in a difficult economic climate, as it's something politicians (of all parties) can wave in front of the electorate to distract them from the really big stuff.
