  1. Saw an indicated 180 when i had a bike (abroad), its quite something how a corner in the distance, suddenly isnt in the distance
  2. You cant transfer it, you inform dvla the car is sold and give them the new owners details as before and your dd is automatically cancelled.
  3. I remember when the book came out and a few normal girls (loosely used) i knew had read it and found it quite erotic, without being condescending, they kind of missed the point as it was exactly as your describe. They all liked the idea of a light bit of s&m, but they kind of skipped over the bit about being stalked, dominated and then having a master. However, there are obviously women that like that and guys also to be fair, its probably down to some deep rooted issue from their childhood. Power, not just money, is a mysterious thing, it does strange things to some women
  4. From memory that BMW stopped in 60 feet from 60mph, according to the highway code its 240 feet from 60 and a extra 75ft from 70mph. So that leaves someone 180 feet to react, if you havent reacted in 180 feet, your most likely asleep and or dead or so bad at driving you shouldnt be near a road or those speeds anyway Its nothing to do with reaction time etc, its because we still have the likes of Ford Anglias on the road that will take 240 feet to stop from 60! I am probably with the majority, "speeding" has a time and a place, of course its not 60 outside a school, but on a quiet motorway, "a" road (national speed limit) doing 100mph is perfectly safe providing everyone else around you knows you might be doing those speeds (autobahn). I have never been keen on the whole, tar everyone with the same brush attitude, i.e because a % of drivers are incompetent we make allowances for them. How about staggered speed limits, so rush hour its 70 or less, whatever the traffic dictates (cctv), but say 9pm/10pm (or later) to 6am providing the conditions are good, not throwing it down/fog/mist/snow etc the speed limit is 100 for example. The motorists know other vehicles might be travelling at those speeds and i think you would probably find roads less congested as some motorists would choose to make their journeys at night (if possible) etc

    Tyre Stretch

    Got that , but 12mm wont make too much difference, got plenty of clearance on mine and 265 will be silly stretch on a 11j imho

    Tyre Stretch

    265 on a 11j will be a lot of stretch, running a 275 on a 11, et20 here and in my eyes its just enough without looking too much, arches rolled and no hint of rubbing
  7. The rotary is a very clever design, in theory there is no reason why you just cant keep bolting on more rotors, the only restraining factor is the eshaft (crankshaft) in that it will twist with increased length. We have the 3 rotor Cosmo and 787B 4 rotor Lemans car, Mad mike also runs a 4 rotor in his drift car I think they are a fantastic engine if your remove the relatively short engine life and emissions issues, silky smooth and they rev so quickly as there are no cams etc Would have another in a heart beat if they bought out a nice car with one in
  8. I am guessing the inverted commas shows the absolute irony of the very phrase when associated with someone like this. The whole human rights thing is an absolute farce, a worthwhile thing brought into place to protect people and its completely abused in its very definition by people like this, Abu hanza and other such scum who show absolutely no human rights towards others. If you show no "human rights" you forgo your own in my opinion, its not something they should be able to hide behind and thus it needs amending immediately to allow just action, as suggested, deportation.
  9. The article mentions the judge said he must serve 8 years min, 40k a year with the figures from the government. Either way, its a sh.t load of money we dont have and shouldnt have to spend to keep such dross alive and well
  10. Great, minimum of 320k just for his time in prison, let alone cost of trial, police investigation etc Do Ryanair not fly to somewhere near Syria?
  11. Rx7 kit is circa £3k landed, so expect the same, then your going to have to get some wheels to fill up the arches, £2k+, + tyres + fitting. Prefer to go fi myself
  12. There was lots of chat on the Rx7 forum about the Rockey Bunny kit, same style and pretty much the unanimous verdict was, the rear arches just look sh*t and i dont think there is any difference with the 350 version. I like the front bumper and front wings, but the rears just look like they are made for a completely different car, way to big. They would look much better if they fitted up to the hatch shut line, lessening the sudden jutting out from the body. Very race car looks and imho would need serious hp to pull that off on the street
  13. o if were counting the old one then yea also the same car in 2002 wasnt the same car that ended in 2010 one was a mk1 and other mk2 You cant dig up Stevo
  14. Errr no, the Focus RS was released in 2002 and rallied up to 2010, the Fiesta followed in 2011
  15. That said, i have no idea why Citroen didnt capitalise on theirs and Loebs success!!!!
  16. Yes, but why not 4wd when it was the current car, a true rally rep, like Evo, Impreza, Celica etc as they did with the Escort? Just seems a strange decision to do it now
  17. Curious, never really understood why they never released the RS in 4wd, no matter how good the 2wd variant was. Its not even Fords rally car of choice these days.
  18. Yes, thats why there was public outcry If your happy with your purchase, no need to remove the branding dont you think?
  19. Tricky one isnt it, lower yourself to their levels or play by the laws of the Geneva convention and rules of engagement. I know they are having the shiznit bombed out of them but its obviously not going to stop them and Afghanistan was testament to the fact the job cant be done on the ground. I still believe in the first instant you tackle the problem at home (any country), any known supporters should be extradited, born in that country or not, give them the choice of any islamic state country and put them on the next available plane, never allowed to return.
  20. Wasnt there a test a few years ago on 10 or 20 pound notes for traces of cocaine and the % was astronomically high, 8 out of 10 or something.
  21. Just to add, I am massively anti drugs, had to find a new bunch of mates as my childhood friends got into drugs and just walked away from the woman of my dreams because of some of the company she kept, but I still believe they should tax it, heavily!
  22. "The right balance between those who welcome motor sport and those who have concerns about it" If you have concerns about it, dont move within an audible distance of a motorsport venue then!!!!!!!!!!!!
  23. Safer too as i am sure the government arent going to cut it up with all kinds of cr*p to make it go further Even in the days of raves (still abstaining) they were fantastic, no drunk idiots wanting to fight, everyone was in love on e's Never saw one spot of trouble, shame the same cant be said for coke, no worse than alcohol though
