Looks sweet, nice one. PS - why aren't you at work?

No in yours Nightmares... I'm a change manager / consultant trying to help companies develop & progress without breaking their IT environments. Sometimes feel a bit like that chap in Tiananmen Square. Like I'm stood in front of a column of projects and programmes saying "But have you tested this, where's the evidence, what about the risk, how much is it going to cost, what if it goes wrong, why is it so urgent ......it's not your infrastructure, it belongs to the company, stop trying to break it..." etc. Nothing of any real value though, like a nurse, teacher etc Jesus, sounds just like one of my days. Trying to hold back the tide of brilliant ideas from people "who know about IT" but can't use excel. I love excel! I organise my work so that I can have whole days only on excel A lot of what I do involves Excel, DBA & code.... currently working on a 700 store multi product, multi drop delivery schedule for 1.8m items a week, 250 motive units and over 300 drivers..... The spreadsheet is around 1,400,000 cells and counting I just got an excel chubby. Excel is the @*!#, I love it. I refuse to use all other office suite products. Best thing Microsoft have ever touched, by miles .

You need to think bigger, if you avoid millions (see http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2010/nov/14/vodafone-tax-evasion-revenue-customs), they leave you alone. Getting 200 quid here off a plumber and 500 quid there off a sparky, means they're really clamping down on the real problem and saving John Q Taxpayer literally hundreds a year, nearly as much as they cost to us to do the clamping down. It's totally nothing to do with the sparky and plumber having gone to normal school and heads of big international brands having gone for lunch with the power men. If you haven't the bottle to go after the big kids, what do you do? Pick on the kids who's legal team doesn't cost the GDP of a Latin American country. You can't blame MegaCorp International for following the laws of the country they operate in, if only the law makers could get some advice on how to tighten up the rules.... http://www.theguardian.com/business/2013/apr/26/accountancy-firms-knowledge-treasury-avoid-tax

I have hertz hsk 165 components in the front and hertz hcx 165 coaxials in the back, with a modest 10" clarion sub in the box behind the driver seat. It's all driven by a Hertz HDP5 amp. It's a five channel amp so negates the need for a dedicated sub amp, the upshot is it fits over the rear amp mount nicely and is hidden, consuming very little space, however, my fillings don't rattle when I turn it up but I get nice precise bass which I can use to make the rear plastics resonate if I want! If you want big bass (which it appears you don't) it's probably not the best, a dedicated sub amp would definitely help, as would a bigger sub with a proper ported enclosure. All in all I am very happy, I go more for precision than volume but it goes loud when I want. Things to bear in mind; you may need to throw the fader forward to stop the rears (inches from your head) drowning out the front, also with the low/mid end comps in the front (down by your feet) but tweeters under your nose it can make it feel a bit brash up front if you don't get the equalizer balanced up. It took me a few weeks of gentle tweaking the high and low pass filters, fade, sub level and equalizer to get there, but I did eventually. I still move the fade around daily, depending on what music I listen to and have a couple of preset equalizer settings I can toggle. A decent headunit is a must if you don't have one already as it will take tinkering. Also think about dynamat to try and kill pesky, unwanted vibrations in anything remotely close to the speakers. The Zed, IMHO, is a poorly designed space for audio and cabin noise does try and invade - but it does make it's own music for you when you press the loud pedal! Good luck finding the right mix, it's out there, just be patient.

Whoop whoop. This little baby was waiting for me when I got home. Cheers SMD well pleased, just need a weather break now!

Haha iv done that with a cigarette before lmao What film is that? looks hilarious! The Big Lebowski, one of my favourites. Easily in my All Time Top 5. If you've not seen it, get it quick! Noted thanks will watch it once im done nightshift! =) * http://www.solarmovie.so/watch-the-big-lebowski-1998.html issit this one? That's it. When you're done, if you enjoyed it, dig out Raising Arizona too.

This is actual footage* of what happens when you driving without full focus *not actual footage.

Office worker, no problems as laptop just fits in nicely Biggest problem is reading the instructions on how to get golf clubs in.

I had a hybrid in my windows 7 laptop and once it "learns" your common taks it does provide a nice boost on big jobs like boot a launching iTunes for instance. Think it was a seagate momentus, performed well. When I sold my laptop, I popped it in my PS3, but with less noticeable gains there where the Blu-Ray drive seems to be the bottle neck. I'm tempted to go full SSD in PS3 for GT6, as the load screens should fly by (providing you've done a full game install). On my iMac I went for a Vertex 3 512GB and it is ridiculously fast, boots in seconds, all applications (even the big ones) pop up in the blink of an eye. Even with the512GB I still have 2TB for media storage and time machine. Can't ever imagine going back to spindle now, it makes even old hardware feel like new!

She's a beauty, I'm sure someone will snap up. GLWTS.

Driver side kicks in with AC on. Passenger when coolant reaches certain temp. 91 IIRC.

GTA V and Pro Evo on PS3. FM2013 on iMac. All I ever play.

Is your AC on always?

Nice Zed and love those glamour shots

Not finished yet, waiting for a centre piece, got to sort out the LED lighting, oh and remake the hood because I stuffed up the first one Sent from the golf club... I told you not to nail it to the tank! Not finished but getting there That's well Hefner, cool as

All these track mx-5s popping. What kinda money we talking fellas? As per liking the standard multipla. I don't even know what to say to that Car looks cool. Any particular reason for preferring that over your MX-5? Or just fancy a change?

Fiat Multipla? Tastefully modded naturally.

& cool Zed!

Yeah, I'm addicted to the surprises inside and trying new stuff

Try a decent wax instead. I love the finish that both White Diamond and Black Hole give, but being a glaze if there's not a wax or sealant over it, it'll just wash off instantly. The WB waxes aren't great but they do a job protecting what's underneath, which I found out of late with longer times between cleans due to weather. I've tried a couple of others, without getting wood. When the dry returns I'll keep trying to find 'the one'. The liquid Nattys Blue is decent.

There a boot load of stuff here that I found invaluable, lots of different points of view. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/2663-a-simple-guide-to-car-detailing/

Waxes haven't really got me excited so far either, been using the Waxybox ones as they're sitting about in the shed. I find a quality quick detailer gives the best bang for effort. Always picks it up nicely after a polish, goes on fast and helps with the aforementioned bead. As above, interested to know what you used. I know it's not a wax but in terms of eye popping difference, I'm in love with a bottle of Poorboys White Diamond at the minute, that stuff really livens up my paint.

Yeah, she just popped me on hold and went to ask, can't say fairer than that for "mainstream", I can live with their hold music. Just.
