  1. Would rather have them pass some stupid comment than the alternative of leaving a nice scratch on the car. The problem is, thats all i could think, its those kind of f****wits that would and how many times do we hear, would love to get hold of the scrote who keyed my car!
  2. Its a shame mechanical failure on the Mercs would seem to be the only way to get a good race, but there was a good showing of a group of cars that could have won that after that! Really good to see Danny Ric get his first win and beat his team mate again, awesome drive by Rossberg. Hardly heard a peep out of Lewis on the radio, does anyone think that was deliberate, i.e the editing or he was conscious of his recent "mutterings", I think he might have come in for some flack, from the snippets of the interviews I saw surrounding last weekend and Rossberg what he had to say was cringeworthy.
  3. It just saddens me that there are people that are so bitter, ironically over a 6k car which nothing but a bit of hard work wouldnt get you!
  4. I had my first attempt at jealousy today, some horrible pickey yoofs walked into the petrol station, strolled by the car and said, where did you get that, the scrap heap! I am not sure me laughing amused them more so! Sad really, first time i have ever had that!

  6. All sold pending payment, will advise if anything changes. Thanks
  7. Nice to see the Toyotas are petrol too
  8. I know it was only a clip but, just seemed like 3 blokes in 3 cars taking the p*ss out of each other, sounds vaguely familiar to me!
  9. Probably got one of his mates to bid to see what the previous bid was up to, then retract it, quite common on ebay.
  10. I have a buyer for the bumper, briggsy has first refusal on the spats, any other interest in them please let me know!
  11. I would bet my left nut someome falls for the speil and the next time we see it will be in the welcome section with something like, this is what I have just bought, its a nismo r tune ltd edition full test track car what ever etc etc and the next sentence would be but there are a few problems though and or worse! Used to happen loads on the Rx7 forum, unsuspecting and uneducated buyers buying dross because it looked good and the add sounded even better. Still, shocking to think anyone would buy a car from ebay without looking at it first. If ever i have advertised a car on there i never take any bidders seriously unless they have come to take a look first.
  12. Please no messers or dreamers! Ironic that
  13. A guy I know (not well) from my way is doing this in his new Aventador, is it like £45k to do it?

  17. Is there no win no fee companies that will look at this? I would have thought they need "evidence" (photo etc) not just their word. If a police officer can randomly say someone was doing something when they werent the country would be in a world of trouble. Personally i would have a good read around, pistonheads as a good example, and see if anyone else has challenged such cases. Long story short, i got stopped on my motorbike a few years back after attending a popular bike meet on the way home a few miles down the road from it, i had just literally almost been knocked off my bike by a speeding car over a crest of a hill (copper waiting at the bottom), they watched the car go past and then pulled us all in, we werent speeding as a mate was running in his bike. They were out that night to stop bikers and check for small plates, illegal exhausts etc and fully admitted it even when asked if they had seen what almost happened, there response was, we are not interested in cars tonight! It was actually quite amusing in the end, a full blown shouting and swearing match with a copper who insisted he could give me points for a small plate, i begged for the points, he ended up giving me a correction notice, strange that

    Just done mine in vht wrinkle plus, will get some photos up
  19. Haha! There will be a lot of happy people when he gets his first win I really hope he does, but sadly i dont think he will, if he said he gave it everything he had in the tank, i wouldnt doubt that for one minute! The bigger names if you like (Dunlop, McGuiness etc) pull the bigger sponsors and better bikes. Michael Dunlops BMW (granted its never been there) is a factory bike with 225+ bhp, he pretty much breezed past anyone he came across, not to say he didnt ride superbly but to beat that BMW i think you would have to be on the ragged edge for the full distance, as Ansty was on his last lap.
  20. Never got the whole "racing" on straight roads with traffic, it proves nothing more than who will take the most risk! Get a revolver, put a bullet in, spin the chamber and pull the trigger if you want to take a risk!
  21. 214 mph through the speed traps (timed average), but according to Brembo's telemetry Dovi hit 224mph before he braked!!!!
  22. And this is how you deal with a 2nd place Not a whinge in sight
  23. Best race yet Worth a watch if its been missed!
  24. Nightmare! Any damage? Not too bad, a little prep and bumper respray. It was booked in anyway next week for arch roll and some other bits so can get it done at the same time! Hope you got some cash off them for it! I carefully went through the damage with him, told him what to expect cost wise and said I will get him a quote
