  1. What are the legalities on trimming the plate? Do you just have to leave an x mm border?

     

    So long as you dont mess with the letter spacing you should be "ok". I've used fancyplates.com advanced builder in the past to order slimmed down non-standard plates and never had any issues (I've never tried trimming them myself tho).

     

    You'll need a private plate though with less characters to make it really work unfortunately.

  2. With regards to England propping up the other nations it's simply not true. For 35 years upto and including 2016 Scotland was a net contributor to the UK treasury. And that's per the UK governments own figures. Hell, the 'McCrone report' which was commissioned by Westminster to investigate how an Independent Scotland would fare given the recent Oil find in the North sea (1974) concluded that Scotland would have "a chronic surplus to quite an embarrassing degree and it's currency would become the hardest in Europe". This document was then branded 'Secret' to avoid fueling Independence sentiment. As far as what percentage of UK debt Scotland would take on, I'd imagine that would depend on what percentage of UK assets we received.

    Back in 1974 when Oil was predicted to run out by the year 2000 you mean? Yes i guess that would have made North Sea oil a gold mine in times of predicted shortage but times have changed massively since then!

  3. I suspect the Supra will be even more than that tbh. The BMW version will slot in between i8 and Z5, so between £60k and £100K which for argument sake gives you £70K. The Toyota will of course be less, so a nice round £10K discount should put some distance and tempt buyers. That'd be my best guess at this point, it'd be nice if it was less than that but I have my doubts.

     

    The list price is somewhat irrelevant, they can list the new Supra, Zed, NSX at whatever they want but the days of cars being purchased outright is over, its all about the £££pcm figure now which is where alot of the recent cars have failed massively, as they dont seem to support their finance packages anywhere near as much as the German brands do.

     

    I bet if Subaru/Toyota tried, they'd shift a lot more GT86's with a wallet friendly £££pcm figure but last I looked the "deals" they had were shocking.

     

    The same will apply to the new Supra and Zed, if they made the numbers work they would sell regardless.

  4. They were looking at the Police but it just so happened there was a 350 passing in the other direction. I watched the program last night and never spotted the 350, very good observation skills!

     

    Back to the show.... £1700 per week tho in disposable income just to spunk on whatever!? Oh to be the top 10% of society. :lol:

  5. I've given up on my set. I can't believe having a child renders you unable to text someone you've known for 25 years.

     

    I know that feeling. I'm 33 and a couple of my childhood close mates since having children have essentially dropped off the face of the earth, well apart from the cringe inducing facebook posts they make about their kid. I'm not holding it against them or anything before I'm judged, I understand and I'm just letting them crack on with it.

  6. My vote is for 6th or 15th may I know it's another 5/6 weeks but hopefully the sun will be shining and we can have a good drive out.

     

    Ok lets do this properly then.

     

    1. one-eyed-king. 6th or 15th May. (available for either)

    2. Sargara. 6th or 15th May. (available for either)

    3.

    4.

    5.

     

    Keep it going, add your availability and we can pick the date based on the most votes.

  7. Pretty certain those headlights are for LHD cars (eBay listing shows them fitted in what looks like America for example). Worth being aware of before commiting to aftermarket.

     

    (edit) ignore me, just noticed the listing offers both fitments.

  8. This is a tragic accident.

    But not the fault of modifying cars but driving like a **** and bouncing it off the limiter without knowing the results.

     

    Thanks for clarifying I was struggling to get the BBC article to make sense, they seemed to only focus on the fact he had modified his exhaust. Makes sense now you mention it, spotted the flame exhaust pics he had posted.

  9. Bickering aside and back on topic.

     

    The underside of your car is nasty (fox is the icing)! Id leave the fox for now until you can get underneath and do everything properly, looks like it will benefit from a general tidy up and some rust prevention.

     

    As for exhaust, get saving for a replacement now lol. Cobra etc is reasonable
