  1. Plugged mine in at 11:17, need iTunes update first, we'll see what happens Best part of 300mb update for iTunes, Safari and a security update
  2. That's the one that's a 22 mile round trip
  3. Decisions decisions, 5 mile round trip fro Vmax and rip off prices or 22 miles for Momentum at a reasonably good price and Club Card points?? Ideally I'd go to the nearer Tesco as it's usually cheaper and only 14 miles but the front lip catches on the ramp on the way out
  4. I don't know how accurate this is as I'm no expert but a friend of mine who is responsible for IT security for the company he works for is concerned more for the resultant instructions they will have to give employees. For example, you attend a company conference or presentation and next years business plan is shown on a whiteboard, you photograph it on your iPhone and the cloud "pushes" it to all your other devices, potentially you have just made confidential corporate information "available" to all the usual types who like to hack that stuff!! Another example is what we've all done at some point I guess, you work all day at the office on some critical/important project and want to finish it at home at the weekend, you take the company laptop home or you email it to yourself via a company secure server, or you copy it to a memory stick, all very old fashioned it seems, but wait!!!! Now you can put it on your cloud and, again, it's "out there". As I said, I'm no expert but my pals inference was that he's more concerned about policing that kind of activity than he his with regard to the actual "cloud" security itself. In a way this reminds me of the recent banking scandal, those people responsible for corporate profits pushed and pushed the boundaries until the whole thing came tumbling down, all the while assuring Joe Public that everything was ok. Are the IT comapnies now going down the same path, recent and ongoing events at RIM (Blackberry) have to be a cause for concern. I use a Mac email address for my business and in June next year that will migrate to the iCloud, I have to decide what I want to do. I'd also love to know what some of you more literate IT guys think about Bullet's questions, thanks for reading my ramblings
  5. Didn't you mean hairless? that would be nearly 18" then ..... but there's still nothing to see out of the back window from this low down - whats the weather like up there ?? airless
  6. Page 8-3 of the 2004 handbook says this:- FUEL RECOMMENDATION Petrol Engine Use unleaded premium petrol with an octane rating of 98 (RON). If premium petrol is not available, unleaded regular petrol with an octane rating of 91 (RON) (yes it does say 91) may be temporarily used, but only under the following precautions: Have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular petrol and fill up with unleaded premium as soon as possible. Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration. However, for maximum vehicle performance the use of unleaded premium petrol is recommended Pretty sure it tells you to run 98+ unless in emergencies then you can use 95. As Mark has pointed out countless times, it goes into high det map when you run 95RON which looses you power, but the assumption was this would also stop you engine destroying itself. If it doesnt stop it then this high det map cant be relied upon and everyone should most definately be using 98+ . However there are quite a few people who have run 95 for a long time. Dont know if they are just lucky or what.
  7. +1 I run super unleaded 95% of the time and never fill completely with unleaded when I have to buy it, having said that spursmaddave is approaching 100k and I think he uses regular most of the time but I'm sure he'll be along soon to confirm or deny As far as I recall I think the handbook recommends 98 octane. Can running unleaded really do this? It's a bit scary if it can I hope you both get sorted ASAP Dave is apparently on 98K!!
  8. Col you clearly have a case of Zeditis
  9. Funnily enough I've now got a reversing camera fitted too Amanda will never live down the day she drove my Varis lip into a kerb. It was pretty scratch free until then. To think they would sell for about £500 now in a decent state 370z has a nice high front end which is good, wont ever get caught Plus with the reversing camera and the fact that it has bonnet jacks things that the GTR has, we reverse park it everywhere now!
  10. Mrs glrnet drove my beloved Varis lip into a low curb just before the Hoon , she was in tears, bless her, anyway £47.00 later up at Halfrauds for some fibre glass, filler, paint and lacquer and you could hardly tell the difference, hope yours isn't too bad and you get it sorted without too much aggro.

    Zunsport Grille

    Thanks John but I'm afraid Dave was right, I've just bought a silver one from Chris S
  12. Me thinks there could be a lot of May and September pix
  13. It's touch and go I'd say mate, a lot will depend on the expertise of your wheel man as previously suggested Might be worth trying the governing county council instead of the local council, I had a similar conversation last year albeit not about potholes but the local council told me that I had to contact Surrey Highways dept. which did help.

    Zunsport Grille

    Guys, I've been looking at the Zunsport front grille and just want to clarify if this will fit a 2004 car, the website says 2007 on? Thanks for your help
  16. Very nice overall package, excellent figures too, I'm soooo tempted by the Berks, might have to have another little run out in Will350z's Zed viewtopic.php?f=62&t=54483&p=786599#p786599
  17. Interesting how the fuel ignited away from the car and not at the car. Top marshalling though
  18. I need to meet you accountant In my 12 years of working, this is the first year I've had to pay tax. not liking it!
  19. Reminds me of an old comedy sketch, it went something like this:- "I got a tax return from the government today, it only asked for three things, 1, how much did you earn? 2, how much have you got left?, 3, send it in."
