  1. I hope you've notified the coast guard.
  2. Get a chicken vindaloo delivered, sorted.
  3. Don't go too fast, I can't see how you get someone out the back when it's on its roof Glad you like it mate, hope there's a modding scene springing up so you can make it your own.
  4. Well. You do know right now he's almost entirely full of **** Doc?
  5. Crap. My guy always re torques after the road test too. I've even seen him do it when the wheels haven't been touched. Sloppy job.
  6. Why haven't you bought this already Chris?
  7. Clio V6 Definitive absolutely mental production car that snuck past accountants when they were ogling something "practical".
  8. It's the definitive people's car.
  9. Good choice but I'd have to say the Toyota 2000GT
  10. It was only a one hour hike up to MP, off at 4:30am to beat the queue and get tickets for HP (they only let 200 people a day up there as it's a death trap of a journey). Best preparation I found was; on the day prior to your trip, take advantage of the 5 for 1 drinks promos in the nearby Aguas Calientes, get yourself off to bed about 2am and you'll be tip top when you're stumbling through the pitch black night through the jungle. #mostpainfulhangoverever
  11. You can kill two birds with one stone. If you do Machu Picchu, you can get up Huayna Picchu in the afternoon after MP. Absolutely astounding place to visit (both of them). Well worth the climb, sweating and near death experiences on the way up the "path". Huayna is the big mountain on the right, towering over Machu Pichu This is looking down to MP from HP.
  12. It's not easy this not modifying business. There's a guy selling an Ark GRiP exhaust in the other place at minute. I think mine is actually blowing so it's technically a repair. I also finished off my reverse camera enhancement today, tested it and nearly cried. How had I installed it so very, very wrongly??? Turns out the boot was open
  13. Anabolics increase red blood cell production vastly. Raul Moat could have hidden atop Killimanjaro indefinitely. I just stuck with munching coca leaves to relieve the symptoms.
  14. Not done that but when I was in Ecuador I visited Chimborazo (fun fact, it is the part of the earth's surface farthest from its centre, even further from the centre than the top of Everest!) we got a bus to the camp at 4800m/15,748ft and walked up toward the next camp at 5050m/16568ft. Only a small rise in elevation yeah??? This is probably the hardest thing I've ever done, the air never ever is thick enough to breathe. Even sitting down it takes ages to catch it. You walk a short distance, then stop and breathe. Repeat. I'm no fitness pervert but altitude doesn't care. Some people can make red, oxygen carrying blood cells, more quickly than others. It's a body thing, not a "I did 500 reps in the gym thing".. I saw really healthy, quinoa and lentil types having to get on oxygen whilst we sat and had a beer and a fag. The moral or this ramble, don't do this sort of thing lightly and do get some experience at altitude if you can, because it's not to be trifled with and severe altitude sickness can cause real problems quickly, and dump all over your plans. All that said, do it!
  15. My policy of not modifying continues, so I've made a couple of enhancements instead. Got rid of the awful screwed in reg plates, on which the dealer had actually included strap line text that overlapped each other. Unbelievable. Stuck these on with a truck load of double sided and moved the rear one down toward the centre of the plate void. Much cleaner. The eagle eyed will notice a reverse cam has popped up. Not as slick as the light fitting one on the zed but it feel like a nice piece of kit and even came with a combo video/power/reverse signal wire, so I only had to run one - very flash. Not tapped into the reverse light signal yet as some bright spark decided it should go miles away from the camera in the diffuser, so I need to find a good place to intercept it. Also popped in a dashcam Looks massive there but from the driver's seat its more or less hidden, not tried the Mobius before, cracking bit of kit for the price and came with everything you need from here. Helpfully they also installed the latest firmware and configured it as a dash cam (opposed to action) out the box, very good service. Even with the compression when I chopped it up and youtube's compression the image quality is ok. So far these little ICE jobs have been a doddle on the BRZ, despite a bit less info being available than the Zed, there seems to be a lot fewer trim panels.
  16. Just drive it through a river, job done
  17. It's not too bad, the cameras they use nowadays are getting much smaller.
  18. ^^^ this ^^^ I wired in a reverse camera the other day, I even had to dremmel some parts to make it fit. I was so pleased with my 'engineering skills' and then I catch up on one of Andy's afternoons where he's fabricated a spaceship and in his tea break turned base metal into gold. Jealous.
  19. Gutted for you on the noteless impact, not to mention the discourtesy car, hopefully karma will do its thing to the perp. Repair looks good though
  20. Are you looking at my bra?
  21. Probably the first ever EV to tempt the mainstream. PS - You should always drive that with the wings deployed
