  1. Yeah cuz seating is where I always fall down when trying to convince the SO of the next car I want :lol:

    Got to say, I'm not a hater, I had fond boyhood dreams of 911's ever since my uncle took me out in his and at no point did he ask me to hold anything. I did a red letter track day thing where I drove one as well as a Ferrari, and I desperately wanted the Porsche to be better(it wasn't). Nowadays though, I don't think it would feature on my wish list. Not to say I don't respect them. 

  2. I agree the bus has implications emblazoned on the side rather than promises, but the bus wasn't the ONLY place where such promises were made as Coldel has stated.

    That aside, will our manufacturing really leave the country, Toyota Nissan etc, or can that be attributed to remainers giving equal and opposite spin the leavers gave at the start? Airbus is also and interesting conundrum, Trent engines built in Derby and sold to airbus where they are transported to France for assembly. Will it become more cost effective for the engine to be manufactured on the continent now, or even adapt the air frame to hold another branded engine? Or will trade continiue?

  3. Even working in the auto service industry as a repairing garage, 50% of my techs fully believed what they were being told about the NHS. They don't work for my any more (not because they voted leave), but I do wonder if they would vote differently if they got the chance. One works for Mercedes now :lol:

  4. Quite possibly a result of not being driven, or the test station not getting it hot enough. If it has sat for a few months, a decent drive will always help. Any advisories for a leak? They can affect the lambda result from pulling in air. It difficult to drive and get hot without an MOT in the first place though. Is it a standard system?

    I enjoyed mine, not just cuz mine was in it:lol:. If interest is good, will we be required to submit pictures again, or will you take a selection from willing galleries?

  6. The weakness of the leaders is reflected in the split in voters wants. Not one party has a candidate that has the charisma and strength to break the near 50/50 split. Is this because of the ease of which vast information can be acquired, the break down in popularity of news papers? The utilisation of social media? I think the decline of the newspaper has had a massive impact, particularly on the younger up and coming voters. I'm curious, political advertising is not allowed on TV, what restrictions are in place for Social Media based propaganda and the 'truth'?

  7. Just now, Maggz said:

    I linked an article talking about what sources are reputable. Don't be lazy, I won't search pro-brexit articles for you, to contest my own points :wacko:

    BOOOOO, you're no fun :lol:.

     

    Can't say anyone else would be any different.

  8. I know we've moved on from the EU army somewhat, but which country manufactures the most arms? The UK has companies like BAE, Rolls Royce and Airbus (who predominately use RR engines), plus RR's nuclear Sub division. Not sure about fire arms and guns, being a Derby lad its all about aero engines :lol:

    I can see both good and bad points of an EU army. Linking back to NATO, remember the controversy globally when France voted against the 9/11 rebellion? Could that happen under similar circumstances? If anyone invaded the UK, would the EU army sit and watch? No, we're still on the doorstep and trouble will spread...it just may cost us. My big thing with big united forces are that we end up becoming 'world police' (Stu mentioned earlier), which just reminds me of Team America. 

    As a huge pacifist I'd be happier (hippier?) with no army's and one global currency/agenda...maybe its the star trek in me. 

  9. If for example Italy did also vote leave, would they need to create their own currency again? Asking for a friend.

    Maggz, if pigs flew and we had a 2nd vote, and it was the same result, would you be 'happy' to let it lie/accept the decision? The reason I ask is the remain people have been vocal about not liking the outcome from the beginning, before the legitimacy raised its head. When it did raise its head it was seized upon like straw being clutched. It is worth me stating I don't believe the process has been handled well, and I'm not trying to justify the leave outcome, as stated, im intrigued as to what will happen to the auto service industry for which I work in the future. 

  10. Working in the auto service industry, I'm unsure how this will go for us. On brakes alone, most of the parts are manufactured on the continent; Pagid Germany, Brembo Italy etc. I'm torn on the re-vote idea, on one hand more info has come out / been show to be wrong i.e. voters misled. But I agree with the notion we can't keep voting util we stay. Maybe in hindsight a 2/3's majority rule should have been implemented like when we decide who governs us, with it being so evenly split, emotions were always going to be close to the surface. 

    As for the the TM questions, I think she'll be history's fall guy (gal?), and won't be in power one way or another long after the signing of the deal.

  11. Welcome along. I always thought mine revved a little high on idle too, you can do a throttle position reset, that might help. We'd love to see pictures we love that kind of thing.

    As for the 'raging' flywheel debate,  I've converted mine from dual mass to single light weight, the engine picks up and loses revs quicker but will still idle the same, the rest is driving style and preference. I have to say I have found what Ekona said to be true, I've had to relearn throttle positions/rev response when heal/toe-ing because of it being quicker up and down the revs. By comparison I need no finesse in my dirty diesel daily. 

  12. Hi All,
