  1. Known Spurs fans are on an Elite list. I thought it might be one last Footy hurrah before you go fully Golf...
  2. NEWS TEAM ASSEMBLE! The mini league is here, details sent out by PM to those on the list, message me if you want to sign up and you're not on the list in post #1. Registration takes two minutes and a further five to pick a team, it can be done here: https://www.dreamteamfc.com I only picked The Sun because it's free and because it was more straightforward than other rival offerings. I am not in anyway condoning The Murdoch Empire. This is going to be the best World Cup ever, so get involved in the goal fest!!!! Feel free to share the mini league details but 350z-uk members only, no need for riff raff round these parts. I could maybe turn a blind eye to some Jaaaaags as there are so many about these days, but that's it! New players are extremely welcome, but get in quick before a ball is kicked. My team name is Sparta Tummystick, post yours up when you're registered and I'll add to post #1. Enjoy and Bem-Vindo Ao Copa Do Mundo
  3. I bet their horse and cart was top of the range...
  4. Found some eco-touch quick wax in a waxybox bottle today, used it instead of the Sonax Xtreme Brilliant Shine I'm trying at the minute (and which I'm quite liking). Be interested to see how it faired in an ilogikal1 LSP test as it went on nice and easy and left the paint looking swell, endurance is unknown.
  5. Little update. I may have been a bit hasty on the AMMO Hydrate Paint. As it wasn't love at first touch with this, it's been sitting in the "neglect" box of detailing goodies in the shed along with Meg's Gold Class Shampoo and some Demon Shine stuff. However, today I didn't have too much time for a maintenance wash so I thought I'd give it another go as a quick top up to my protection during the drying phase. My big gripe with it on the first couple of uses was that it didn't play well with my Woolly Mammoth drying towel, it did better with my decent quality MF towels, but not well enough for me to use half my decent MFs during the drying phase. It turns out the issue with the Woolly Mammoth and Hyrdate combo was the paint was a bit too dry when I used it the first couple of times. Today I was playing with my new hose (ooo errr) and there was loads of excess water sat on the paint when I went to dry, this must have been the magical ingredient, as the AMMO Hydrate went on a treat and helped shift the water off and left a really clean and shiny surface behind. Initial rating - 2 from 5, revised rating - 4 from 5.
  6. That is an interesting and, for me anyway, unexpected result. Clay shifted my whole cleaning paradigm, can it be shifted again and I retain my sanity?
  7. The Auto Finesse Desire continues to impress and I feel less and less guilt about splurging on it at that discounted price TBF, I didn't real feel that guilty in the first place This is just after my two bucket wash today and a towel dry, one week after applying the AF Desire. The AF Desire was applied as the final stage and without proper paint preparation. The bead had dropped off a bit in the week, with some rubbish weather and biological contamination of both the tree and bird variety, but it's back with a bang, If it's still going at that price, you'd be insane not to order some.
  8. Quite a few installations seem to locate the amp in the glove box, not sure what they do for ventilation or if it that's unnecessary.
  9. Looks like a turning point, great to see this coming along.
  10. Good selection, you've got hours of fun there. Get a bottle sprayer for your water lube in the clay phase. I'd splash out a couple of quid on a new and clean bottle like: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Plastic-Trigger-Bottle-Plants-Sprayer/dp/B00D12GD0A/ref=sr_1_4?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1402140708&sr=1-4&keywords=water+bottle+sprayer If you must use something you have lying around, make sure it's properly clean inside and pump loads of water through the gun. You don't want remnants of last year's bathroom cleaner all over your totally bare paint!!!!
  11. I have a solution, you can wax mine. That gives you loads more panels I'll even rent you the test space for next to nothing.
  12. Sorry for a tedious practicality question, but can you fit two fully grown humans in the back seats?
  13. 5 channel amp FTW, chuck away sub amp, weight saved, go faster, more mpg, better handling, race car
  14. Top trolley tip, put it in a bin bag before it goes in. Saves ages cleaning cleaning the boot!
  15. If you use Time Machine and take regular backups like the 15 minute incremental you should be fine. ClamXav is a free Mac AV, I use it for on demand scans of certain items from time to time. The only proper "always on, proactive" AV I run on my mac is on the windows virtual machine. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/clamxav/id430207028?mt=12 http://m.download.cnet.com/ClamXav/3000-2239_4-10668194.html Being aware of social engineering, browsing on "specialist" websites, dodgy attachments and handling unsolicited Mail from unknown people is the best AV you can have at home. Enterprise requires much more effort.
  16. Don't worry, just sounds like a common or garden bug in mail. If the email has disappeared and your iPad is still functioning fine and not exploded, I wouldn't worry about it for a second. There appears to have been a common issue like you descrbied on iOS4, but you can't still be on 4. Put it from your mind, it'll be some confused meta data or getting some jobs done in the wrong order or it just having a 'moment'. If it makes you feel any better, switch it off and back on again Nothing to worry about, bugs happen, then they go away. I'll have a quick google just in case though.
  17. The "front" of the boot will take a set and I usually pop my trolley (not electric or owt) behind the brace as it's lighter and easier to drop in without banging it off everything. My irons are shortened a half inch, but the driver is standard length and goes in, inside it's cover, no problem. Spikes and snacks go under the brace in between trolley and bag. Midget gets promoted to passenger seat. Simples!
  18. Is the sender someone you know and trust? If so, you very likely have nothing to worry about on iPad. Over 99% of mobile malware is android. Desktop malware is laregly Windows focused, but I don't know the % share, so you'd be more at risk if you opened it on your PC. If you decide to open it, you'd be very unwise to allow it any access it requests like Contacts or Safari, or dog forbid, allow it to install anything. Given the closed eco system on a non-jailbroken iPad you should be totally fine. The system is built with security in mind from the ground up, not as an after thought. General good practice still stands. If the sender is no one you've ever heard of and is neither a mail you expect or a response to an email you've sent, I'd just bin it and empty the trash. If it's from someone important they'll re-attempt or contact you another way. Even if you do read the mail in iOS then, as above, you'd be extremely unlucky to be vulnerable to the <1%. It goes without saying if it's an untrusted or unknown sender, never open any kind of attachment or view any movie or click any link, never reply, head straight to trash and then put the bins out. If your iPad is jailbroken, good luck, it could be anything
  19. The sit really nicely, good choice.
  20. You havent heard the latest then, the new stuff can target Macs, scared the hell out of me. I was just stirring, I take sensible precautions. Wipe clean keyboard, private browsing, antibacterial hand wipes....
  21. Well I wouldn't normally condone this but... I give you Kate Beckinsale (or "our lass" as she's known in my house)
  22. Congratulations! Is this just closer to a particular award winning distillery? Seems like some sort of group buy/free give away is in order
  23. What's a virus? Sent from my iMac
