  1. A lot say it's the best sounding V6 ever. An FTO MIVEC on full chat @ C 8500RPM through a decent decat properly made full system for me. Mine was the closest to my favourite exhaust note so far ever - the Porsche V10 Carrera 5L - just an awesome thing
  2. Just be careful South of Sandbach there's cameras all over the place, might be as well going through Sandbach towards Crewe and joining at J16 there's a decent new bypass that way that runs pretty freely.
  3. It's actually a shorter route to Sandbach J17 than joining at J19 anyway. You don't want to go any further down the A50 as not far after you start to get into Stoke territory which is speed camera central.
  4. I live in Osbourne's constituency and apart from getting rid of that freaking weirdo Neil Hamilton for the wonderful Martin Bell that time, then usually the vote's of no consequence, I was for Proportional Representation but nobody else who cared about democracy voted for that, so we're stuck with a @*!# political system
  5. I agree that the voting age is about right as it is, younger than that and most people do not have enough experience of the world to make an informed decision and are more likely to act upon an illusional idea of what would happen in a perfect world. Sadly the world's not like that and you need a little more experience and cynicism in order to question the subject at hand in a detailed informed way.
  6. it should actually be left down to a committee of intellectuals that can actually make an informed, unbiased, media absent decision In the past few days we have had the Chancellor, Osbourne quoting results of findings from these types of groups you suggest and today Cameron was trying to scare us with telling us our holidays are going to cost more, while standing next to O'Leary of Ryanair, who coincidentally also came out today saying that flight prices are due to fall!! Honestly, you couldn't make up that kind of duality. The Chancellor was claiming on Sunday that when we leave house prices are going to fall. The latest in the aim to scare the general public who just listen to the media. The figures used to come to this conclusion are pure conjecture. They are based on already projected UK growth figures (which are ALWAYS wrong and constantly adjusted) being less than forecast figures they have expressly chosen as 'worst case scenario' that they can get away with saying and the percentage difference between those figures being given as the 'loss' - It's total bull. This is assuming their economic model is a good one in the first place and it is indeed a good thing for this kind of economic growth. My own opinion is that that kind of economic policy increases inflation and it's not a good thing for the majority of the population, but that's more my political and social position.
  7. So when you leave to go home don't turn right and go through Knutty to the motorway, turn left and get on at Sandbach, that road A50 is a great bit of tarmac with a bit of everything, twists and straights, long and short and some great bits of cambering Keep your eyes firmly peeled though, there's a few side roads and the police unmarked black BMW likes to patrol along there - It's also a lot quicker than getting on at Knutty
  8. That fits in, I did wave but got the usual blank look (I think, I might have been slightly over the posted speed limit) Not seen yours TBH but I'm on the A50 and in and out a lot so I'm sure it's only a matter of time. The Silver one I see quite often Maybe he doesn't recognise a Roadster as a 'proper' 350Z
  9. No, the contents of what goes on at the meeting is not open to the public, that makes it secret, not the fact that there's a meeting and these people attend!! - I did say it was a 'bit' barking.
  10. Errr It's the meeting that is secret, as in private
  11. This was shared in social media, interesting also a little barking Betsy M MacKay 14 April · Forres · I, probably like most of my generation, knew very little about the EU. I had done a Masters degree in the 70s; brought up my family, and by the early 2000s was ready to return to University. I was privileged to return to University to complete a Second Masters Degree; this time in European Policy, European Law and European Economic Analysis. Words cannot describe the horror I felt as I delved into the truth of the EU. Sends shivers down my spine to this day, remembering the horror of the realisation, that we had been hoodwinked into the EU by deceitful, disingenuous, intentionally devious means. The populace of the UK was never intended to find out the truth behind the EU, until they reckoned it was too late. Truth is it almost....almost...almost is too late. We already are, in the UK, all but a federal state in the United States of Europe. You never quite realised that, did you? Why? Because they very deliberately decided not to tell you! They deliberately created a political elite who knew full well that power was being ceded, systematically, Treaty by Treaty, to the EU. But who knew? They did! But were we the UK populace ever informed? Absolutely not! Why? They made mega millions from EU scammery & we the minions were shafted day, daily, monthly, yearly & forever. Where did your pensions go? Where did your schools, your NHS, your housing, your social services go? Well, £55 million per day, every day, every week, every month, every year..... Guess what? That is why UK is bankrupted for generations to come, with a £1.5 trillion pound debt. I wish I could enlighten the populace of the UK to the real truth about the EU. I spent a year studying the EU in depth, visiting both the EU Parliament and EU Commission in Brussels. Every word I heard in lectures, hundreds of hours of lectures, every word I researched for my thesis and every thing I saw in Brussels, lead me to the inescapable conclusion that the EU is an utterly corrupt, profligate, political monstrosity which has destroyed British jobs and bankrupted the UK for generations to come. The EU operates on lobbying, which is the technical term for bribery and corruption. Whatever Cameron says, EU law has supremacy over our UK law unless there is Treaty change. He may say so but the truth is that 27 other countries will never agree, this side of eternity, to change the Treaties. So …..what is the connection between the EU, the Bilderberg Group and the almost completed TTIP? (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) The Bilderberg Group meet in secret each year and they are a group of phenomenally wealthy men and women from the worlds of big business, banking and politics, coming from across Europe and the US. The TTIP represents an integral component of Bilderberg’s attempt to rescue the unipolar world (New World Order) by creating a “world company,†initially a free trade area, which would connect the United States with Europe. Just as the European Union started as a mere free trade area and was eventually transformed into a political federation which controls upwards of 50 per cent of its member states’ laws and regulations with total contempt for national sovereignty and democracy, TTIP is designed to accomplish the same goal, only on a bigger scale. The treaty is likely to advantage the corporations of both the US and the EU, while disadvantaging their people. It presents a danger to democracy and public protection throughout the trading area. The Bilderberg Group are focussing on how to derail a global political awakening that threatens to hinder Bilderberg’s long standing agenda to centralize power into a one world political federation, a goal set to be advanced with the passage of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), Bilderberg globalists are aghast and there is panic in the ranks that their planned EU superstate is being eroded as a result of a populist resistance all around Europe, mainly centred around animosity towards uncontrolled immigration policies. And just who might we expect to find at such a secret gathering? Angela Merkel, Herman Van Rompuy (ex President of EU Council), Jean Claude Juncker, (Present President of the EU Commission), Martin Schultz,( Present President of EU Parliament), David Cameron, George Osbourne, Tony Blair, Ed Balls, Rona Fairhead, (Chair of the BBC Trust), Michael O’Leary of RyanAir, Stuart Rose (ex M & S, and BSE Chairman), Bill Clinton, Barak Obama………..…and many more. What do they all have in common? They are all trying to persuade you to stay in the EU. Why? Because it is in their warped self interest to do so! Is any of this in your interests? Absolutely not! Their modus operandi is that truth becomes lies and lies become truth. Sound familiar? No possible option available, other than to get Out of EU ASAP. Vote Leave!
  12. A silver/gunmetal let me out of my work at The Honey House at the Plumley lights - ta mate and a black in Knutty near the roundabout Both around 6pm
  13. You will miss the space and your MPG The Audi's a well put together car and if you have the 4WD you will have to get used to a relative lack of grip, they're pretty quick too those turbo ones with a little ECU work. My bro had one for many years, great fun, I likened it to what a baby Porsche would be like.
  14. My Note 3 used to have terrible battery life, I read up on some tips for cleaning up apps that you don't need and general Phone 'housekeeping' and now it lasts for ages. You have to do like 10 mins housekeeping on it weekly but it makes one hell of a difference!!
  15. Both silver/gunmetal, 1st Northbound on the A556 Chester Rd by The Honey House (Smoker) 3pm, 2nd Plumley Moor Rd 5pm again by what used to be Plumley Smithy, now our new business.
  16. LoL Holyhead's nearer Ireland than the mainland (nearly ).
  17. Nice work. I have a question - That air box looks sealed at the front where the air is designed to flow into it through that hole in the front of the car as it's moving. Isn't that restrictive?

  19. You sound like Boris Johnson there Floyd Don't know if that's an insult Boris is obviously an intelligent guy but he might also be raving mad I'm more Liberal socialist than Tory TBH. My interest in the EU (as I might have said earlier) comes from when I was at Bournemouth Uni in the late 80's, there was a module we studied called Business in the EEC, as part of my degree in Business studies, which was one of my favourite parts of the course. I also went on a tour of the EEC components with college before that on the HND in Business Studies Travel And Tourism course. That was obviously several decades ago when it was the EEC, which we signed up for, worked and was good for all parties involved. Until fairly recently I was very pro-European Union, but as I have been exposed to more information and done some research due to this referendum I have seen what is going on and I have so far decided I'm in the 'out' camp. I reserve the right to change my mind again if information condusive to that decision comes to me. One thing I find very interesting is that a lot of acquaintances are businessmen, some very wealthy ones and they are ALL for getting out and listening to their conversations on the matter I have to agree with them. I find it quite sad that both sides of the issue are reverting to what I'd call 'American style' politics which are extremely devisive, unnecessarily, excessively so. I thought the British population deserves better than and more respect than that.
  20. Might be the same one I passed on Northwich Rd the other evening, I waved again, you still looked non-plussed I was indicating to my place so for a change I was UNDER the posted speed limit
  21. There is no proof, but there is the fact that while we are in we will never be able to negotiate any deals that are beneficial to us AND we will be dragged into the planned European Superstate at the cost of our own economy. Which does well despite the EU!.
  22. There are thousands of other ways the money gets used - maybe you are right and the EU doesn't use it effectively enough and that needs sorting (note we can only affect this if we are at the table) And this is the problem, we are at the table but the waiter is ignoring us. We need to get out and renegotiate into a union for us that suits us not the hierarchy of the EU non-elected powerhouse, with their own agendas. The deal Cameron got recently was the sum of zilch!! The EU will still be there, it and all the trade we do is not going to magically disappear overnight. Really, the only way that we can get anything is to let the EU know that the UK is not willing to lie down and become part of the planned superstate. I have noticed on the news , just, that John Major has been rolled out and he's at the 'guilty by association' game of closet racism!! Horrible politics! As well as some IMF press release pointing at doom and gloom and economic depression!! Listen to it, it's all 'if's, 'could's' and 'maybe's' - Ridiculous. Remember the saying 'lies, damn lies and statistics' they are manipulating the figures they use to the end they want, I find it insulting TBH, but that is the way those people look at the populace!
  23. I do a lot of business in Europe, and was given an example the other day of what might happen if we left the EU. At the moment we can use reverse charge VAT, basically where we tell HMRC who we have done business with and where and then dont have to charge and claim VAT in 20 different countries. The information is shared between EU members and it all happens automatically like magic. If we were to drop out of this agreement, the administrative burden of claiming on our side and validation on the country in questions side would be huge, its likely we would have to pay an extra fee and suffer much longer return times. In itself that would probably be enough to kill my company off, along with a lot of others and this is without any of the other free trade arrangeemnts that would go out of the window - if we arent paying into the EU we cant expect them to carry out administration for free. Its not just the big obvious things like free movement of people, its all the other stuff that you dont even see unless youre importing/exporting that will bump the cost of running a business up, very few business can accept even a 5% increase in costs without serious problems. What you are talking about is what I meant by the parts that actually work and work well. Why would any sane person change that? It works both ways, it's easy for us and them too!!! The fact is that the EU Superstate is a bloated den of corruption and a massive waste of money AND their intent is European power domination turning our elected governments into powerless puppets. The economic benefits it has achieved could have been reached more cheaply and mare easily but for the 'jobs for the boys'!!
  24. Because the kick up the ass they need to renegotiate the bits of the EU that don't work, will be the UK population telling them that we can think for ourselves and we now realise that we have been propping up the failing and frankly economic retard countries for decades now, despite the ridiculous scare 'in' campaign
  25. We need to leave in order to renegotiate a proper deal. The one Cameron has is not a deal, it is nothing. We need to negotiate back to how the alliance was before we started getting integrated into the European Superstate, when we had an economic common market that worked and worked really well, helping to provide the prosperity of the Blair years. Sadly further integration means allowing control of aspects of running our country to be dictated by unelected people who have no direct interest in our county's wellbeing and more in their own and their own country's. The short term cost of leaving will be next to nothing compared to the saving in what we dole out for the privilege of helping out poorer EU economies and improvement in our strong economy. The unease in the market is not driven by worry about us leaving i'ts just what these money brokers do, chances are that as soon as the vote to get out is made the investment comes flooding in, more than if we don't get out!
