  1. my policy with them runs out next year, and from seeing others renewals i may well be going else where as well. shame as i've been with them for the last 6 years. always shop around, after their first crap offer, give them my best offer and then they usually match it.
  2. i thought i saw the white 370 with the volks twice, but that might just have been me clicking on the link twice after someone else poste don it. but i'm sure it was like that as i was voting.
  3. have noticed some of the pics appear several times over different months. is this meant to happen? what if someones pic gets picked twice? not nit picking as there are lots of cracking photos on there. and this looks to be one of the best calendars for this club yet.
  4. i used to sell the Apexi filter, best filter out there for filtration as well as good performance. not easy to get hold of in the UK.
  5. necrorevival
  6. netflix if you have to
  7. it was on the old forum format, quickest way would be to pm M13KYF
  8. put up a video of the noise it makes, will make life alot easier for us to diagnose. maybe a thinner oil might improve the speed at which the pressure is activated in the tensioners. are their any mods in the engine bay? i know some have had carbon airboxes that fit badly, and the lid rattled against the bonnet.
  9. speak to mike for offical club merchandise
  10. as long as you run the same tyre across the axle then thats perfectly acceptable. in a perfect world you'd run the same tyre all round.
  11. nice
  12. its not about maximising your speed on the road, its designed to slow you down, its meant to be a punishment becuase you broke the law. he's not there to tell you how to make the best traffic light grandprix start.
  13. My guess would be that No police women actually look like that .... well not when they are working shame probably a good thing, i';d deliberatly speed just to get stopped by ladies like that,
  14. bring me back some crispy cremes pleeeeeeeeeeeeease
  15. I'm not sceptical, i'm cynical
  16. why do our lady fuzz not look like that?
  17. Thats fair enough. I liked to use it in my 172 for some reason too. Also its only a few p more than 95ron so thats handy too. I think alot of it is placebo as I'm sure my car runs better on v power than 99ron. Does it really? Probably not but shell is more expensive so maybe thats it. It was like they compared alot of waxes on DW and they said that most are similar but the higher price ones make you feel like your treating your car and I get that. i used to use the BP special diesel and got better miles on my 500 mile weekly commute compared to when i used shells special diesel. like you say its most likely a placebo thing.
  18. doesn;t mean they use it. i know for a fact that some of the old race teams used to be sponsored by people like castrol, stickers all over the car etc; but if you actually looked in the oil sump, you'd find that most were running mobil 1, regardless of what the stickers on the outside say. plus being a ferrari owner doesn;t get you a discount at shell either. and i'f pretty certain there is no sticker saying, only fill with shell. it just happens to be that shell gave ferrari a big advertsing cheque and told them to tell everyone that its their fuel of choice. What about the claims that the furl has been partially developed by Ferrari, due to their input? Real or fake? Because that would be a seriously big lie which could damage both companies. it makes no claims to how much input they have, it could just be a bloke turns up at shell sniffs the fuel and says "yep that smells good enough for ferrari" you may well be right and they tested it with ferrari engines. but the point i'm getting at is don't be sucked in by advertising. what they say and waht they do are very often 2 very different things.

  20. I have no idea, its not a rational choice, but it is round the corner, but then the tesco is on the other side of the road. sainsbury is a bit of a hike. I think its because i remember reading somewhere they put better additives in, but this could be just in my head. funny thing is i don;t even need super, my car is tuned to good old 95 ron. and the premium doesnt seem to increase the miles gained either. but i shall try this out now i actually have the MAF and fule managment system working properly, i had been running rich so it was drinking it like a b1tch regardless of what i put in. at the end of the day where ever you go its all the same fuel. there are only something like 6 fuel distribution centres in the UK and all UK fuel suppliers get their fuel from them. the difference being what additives they add in once its in the tanker.
  21. you finished putting stickyback plastic on it yet???
  22. never heard of a zed needing anything chain related playing with. if it gives you an idea of price i have literally about 2 weeks ago done the timing chain tensioners, chains and guide runners on my V8. parts were independent so not jag prices and they were around £350 for the parts alone. then the labour was another £600 roughly. all in the job is the best part of £1000 worth of work. and i would think most f the owrk is the same on the zed. but being that they shouldn;t need doing on the zed anyway, thats £1000 you just saved.
  23. i could have dipped the end caps in carbon if you'd wanted
  24. my other contribution
