The Results of The Scotish Vote for Independence.
Jetpilot replied to WhackyWill's topic in Off Topic Discussion
85% from the reports i have seen, massively impressive though, apparently the turnout for the general election was more like 55%. I would imagine Salmond will put the usual political spin on it and say so long as they get more devolution that is what he wanted so its a win win I would hope this signals the way for change in this United Kingdom, so can we please have a vote to leave the EU now -
The Results of The Scotish Vote for Independence.
Jetpilot replied to WhackyWill's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Well done Scotland for such an incredible turn out, as we know from the threads on here you were very passionate one way or the other, so pleased to see that was represented at the polls to give you a definitive answer, although quite close -
I love gtr's, I want one, but dont think you could ever say its good looking, purposeful, but not good looking

Seems like some action might be starting, France calling for country leaders to meet to see how to address the issue, Austrailia carrying out anti terrorist arrests on Muslims looking to behead a RANDOM individual on video drapped in an IS flag. Yet still what staggers me, the Muslim community in Oz defending the ones arrested, doing themselves or their legitimate faith no favours imho, why dont they understand, its nothing to do with being Muslim, its to do with wanting to cut someones head off!

The holy grail of car ownership, how about a Honda Nsx, very similar performance to the Zed, achingly beautiful and definitely wont loose money, probably make some
-
Like your very one and the photo, the op's photo is my favourite Zed

You can pretty much make anything fit, whether it will still look like a 370z bumper when your finished is another matter, is it a simple fit, no. Imho just buy one of the above if its inspiring

There wasnt a great deal of difference to be honest, they both got a hurry on if needed, the petrol was smoother (unsurprisingly) and had a bit more grunt when it came to hills, the diesel was a bit sluggish on any sort of gradient and needed kicking down a couple of gears if you wanted to maintain a speed. Bought both of mine directly from the auctions at the docks, never had any trouble with either (few worn bushes but that seems common on imports) and sold them both at a small profit over a year or so later. If the auctions ever come back will have something similar again for sure
-
I had two Largos, the 2.0 turbo diesel and 2.4 petrol, excellent bus, both were similar on fuel but thats the only thing that spoiled it for me as a daily, i didnt find them that economical, no matter how gentle on the throttle, 25 mpg at best round town.

Dont think they are rare enough to worry about personally, something like a NSX would be a different story
-
Same reason I wouldnt track the zed, cost of repair if I'm unlucky/my driving ability doesnt compensate for a burst of stupidity. Something light, 2 seater but still road worthy as need 2 cars. Lotus Exige?, but still going to cost If you stack it on track, any car will cost on that basis unless its completely disposable, mk1 mx5, rx8 as an example
-
As above, find this pretty interesting, as r35 prices keep coming down, will r34 prices have to fall to stay in line so to speak?? Or is the r34 considered a classic now?? Much as i would like a 34, as tricky says, ignoring the r35 would be difficult as prices get closer. Why do you discount the r34 for the track?

If Keith Huewen is to be believed he reckons Marquez would win overall as he is consistently quick, Stoner more hit and miss, would be the battle I would love to see though. By all accounts there is lot of animosity from Lorenzo for Marquez's overtakes, just annoyed he keeps getting done over if you ask me

I think it was mentioned on commentary that when Maquez remounted he was lapping the same times as Pedrosa so effectively when chasing Rossi, he was .5 a second quicker than he should have been. Honda dont do well at that track with only one win in recent years so wasnt surprised to see a Yam at the top, but surprised it wasnt Lorenzo, maybe he just took the wrong punt running the hard front? I guess your referring to Marquez move on Lorenzo at Silverstone, got to be honest, i saw absolutely nothing wrong with that, Lorenzo wasnt on the apex and left a gap, sure he must know by now Marquez wont need a 2nd invitation and should have covered it, but still, didnt have the fight or pace to keep challenging from that point, there seems to be an almost inevitability that once he has passed they kind of give up if they cant pass straight back.

Still available

Good to see a win for Rossi, proves his decsion to get rid of Burgess was a wise one, dont think it will be a regular thing though. Those Hondas just couldnt get the set up for the weekend, perhaps its just a bogey track for them?

New Circuit in Wales to Open in 2015.
Jetpilot replied to WhackyWill's topic in Off Topic Discussion
I understand everyone has the right to object to any planning application and may have personal views, but sometimes you wonder how anything gets done in this country and often its no surprise when it doesnt. There are plans for a artificially generated wave just outside Bristol, i have followed the planing application with a personal interest and read most of the 2000+ comments over the time. Some of the things people have to say is frankly laughable, some of them live 100's of miles away, have never visited the area and never will, but they still dont want it going ahead, i am sure its probably the same for this possible circuit. Personally i think if they made the above 2 ideas, as an example, easier to do, there would be a great deal more investment in the country But the red tape often just isnt worth the investment needed to get through it -
This was my understanding, otherwise you could buy a car, register It in a family member or friends name and be covered under your policy on any old piece of junk you get insured for cheap on.

Great cars to be fair, but if you went down that route, stick with std twin turbo, cooling and breathing mods only, soon as you go down the single turbo route, it will bite you unless you are extremely lucky

You dont half talk nonsense sometimes, civilian gps (sps) and military gps (pps) use exactly the same satellites, civilian operates on one frequency and military two so they can use "ionospheric correction" which reduces radio degradation through the earths atmosphere. Topography has nothing to do with it Civilian gps is getting more and more accurate year on year as they introduce new signals and frequencies

I have known a couple of people getting done within the guide lines, one was a 34, one a 55. I cant remember his name but does anyone remember that chief constable in wales that was quoted as saying, straying just 1mph over the speed limit is no different to slipping a knife into someone?

You cant even begin to imagine what its like............ By all accounts a big % of the jihadists that go over from here & Europe to "fight" come back straight to counselling because they cant cope with what they actually see, we have no idea what really goes on although we like to think we do
