  1. Might wait and see if those monthly prices come down. I will want the Plus, with 128GB and a fair bit of Data usage.
  2. The only thing that makes an iPhone a winner in my books (IMO that is) Is that the interface is genuinly smooth. No lag, no delays, it's responsive and free flowing (Unless it's jalibroken like mine and crashes every 5 mins ) I love the look of the other phones, and I agree apple are just whoring money from us with minimal upgrades each time, but.....they work
  3. the 4 and the 4s I got on launch, think this time I'll wait it out, I'm enjoying my £10 a month bill Although I hate V'fones 1gb data cap
  4. What have you been smoking this morning? All synced with iCloud, you're not losing anything: apps, photos, contacts, calendar, email are over IMAP so again all safe etc Oh I mean by my 'non legit' iphone apps Mainly my movie box app which allows me to watch any film/series for free, and can stream it through airplay to my projector.
  5. Whats the material of the 6?6+? Is it like the Iphone 5/5s or back to the iphone 4s? I'm still using the 4s because the 5 was crap along with the material they used on it. Will probably wait until there is a Jailbreak for the 6 before I get it, as I have waaaaaaay to much on my 4s to lose. I like my air play to much.
  6. Damn it, was going to say Rocky Soundtrack
  7. Hey guys, Avoided this thread for a little while. Just wanted to say thank you all for your kind words. It would of been easier if she had cancer or a terminal illness, but it just was a matter, we couldn't afford it But she's in a peaceful place now and me and my mum have picked our selfs up over the situation. She will never be forgotten Thank you all again.
  8. Hey guys, finally managed to sit down on the laptop. Thank you all for the kind words, advice and offers of help, truly means a lot. So, my current situation... ...is @*!# Been a tough month as many of you will know, and the recent vet bill had messed me up this month. So I'm off in Newcastle all this week, was hoping I could pick up a shed of a car this week but thought I had more money than I did. So currently my main plan is to sort away of getting to work til the 24th (Payday) Once payday comes around I'll be looking for a car sub £500, so if anyone see's anything (Southish/Hampsire) Give me a shout. I really don't care of the condition, just ideally small engine/Diesel - I commute 250 miles a week, so anything I can save on fuel goes to the engine fund. So, what am I going to do? Well first of all a big thank you to Chris/Keyser, had an hour long chat with him yesterday to discuss options. The following options that were discussed - - V8 so a LS/JZ/RB, Anythings possible at the Zed shed, however this could potentially be the most expensive option. I need to do a lot of research into it, but i'm probably looking at £10k+ for this work - I need to have a chat with Wasso and Bizz. - Forged Engine Build - Straight up around £7.5K. - Buy another DE Engine - £1000-£2000, the only issue with this is, it's like a lottery. I could buy a mint engine, or I could buy a dog of an engine. - Buy another Zed (Cat C/D) Or something with Rear end damage ( Or any damage) - This way I can drive the car and get a feel for the engine etc. Plus I can then split the car and sell spares etc. - Keyser has 3 engines at the Zed shed which we could possibly make one engine work out of all them. Now I know there are some obvious options/routes to go down (Mainly working from the bottom of the list upwards) I need to think this through properly as it's a lot of money to invest. But at the same time, Cars are my life to be fair, when I'm driving, at meets, at shows, on track is when I'm truly at my happiest. Partly why I wasn't so depressed when I blew the engine, I did it doing something I love. So this is why I don't want to rush anything. This is the only time I plan to have the engine out/get a 2nd engine. So I want to make the most of it. I always said I'd supercharge the car next year. So in my mind I'm edging towards a forge route. At the same time I'm edging towards buying another Zed, Swapping the lump over and just SC'ing that. Both are going to take a lot of money and time (I can't just pull money out my arse ) This isn't going to be a couple of weeks jobby, going to take a minimum of 6months with heavy saving, I have to be really disciplined with myself and money now for this to work. Just like to see what all your thoughts are and suggestions? Any info on costings etc. Before someone says it and I know someone will I'm not getting a different car or new Zed etc. Not going to give up at the first hurdle, I'd love a project like this as I'd never done anything like it. As Batmans dad once said - Why do we fall? To pick our self's back up again.
  9. Eleanor will return next year!.... Once rebuilt to a monster #teamtarmac
  10. On a coach to Newcastle ATM. Hate texting. Will update later Thank you all. #teamtarmac
  11. Too slow Was the 1st thing most people said to today
  12. They say bad luck comes in 3s.... Is this 3 pairs of hands? I've ran out of fingers to count with.
  13. Play this song whilst reading. So, for all those who have me on facebook and the internet as word travels quite fast.... My car blew up today at Trax on my second track session. Not 100% sure how it happend (Needs investigating) as I always do my pre-track checks day before, oil, coolant, brakes, tyres etc. Long story short, came out of a corner, floored it and heard some iffy noise, lots of smoke coming from engine/exhaust and lost all power. Shards of metal in my under tray in a swimming pool of oil. Safe to say, the engine is knackered. First and foremost THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE! Such a supportive helpful community we are in! Too many names to list, but you all know who you are and I appreciate it so much, if it was holding my bags in your car, lending me toe rope, running round asking strangers to toe me You are all legends! So now comes the bit that was worse than losing an engine.....Silverstone taking me from the circuit to the main entrance... (I don't think you need facebook to view this - But thanks to Ash catching this shot as I was screaming in the corner with fear!!! Least I didn't have fake/cheap wheels....2 spokes each wheel to hold my car :surrender: That was at the main entrance getting dropped off, ready to be toed a mile away so I could call my break down cover Called them, told me it would take an hour (6.30 - 7.30) Get a phone call at 7pm to tell me he won't be here til 9;30pm Off to the pub I went. Then came 12am and I am home!! What am I going to do next you're probably wondering? I need to speak to the professionals first and do some research, but in my mind at the moment... -Going to look for a cheap shed with years tax/mot to get me to work and take my car off the road for the rest of the year. -Then either rebuild another engine with Fully Forged internals -Or look at other alternative engines and go V8. Figured if I need a new engine etc, which I don't have the money for right now, may as well take it slow and do it right. Will keep you guys all in the loop, but fear not Eleanor (Yup, we named my car that today ) Will return next year Bigger and better than ever Dedman has my Dashcam footage which I'm sure will be posted up later this week. Once again, thank you to everyone for your kind words and support - This is one big family, not a community

  17. I know, I just mean the paint you want isn't just say - 5 Ltrs of Blue paint. it's like that but *3. It's why it gets more expensive.
