well going by how fast SJ has gone down, i'll be getting through a new on eto try at least every week just because i'm intrigued and the bottle looks cool, i think i'm going to give the kraken a go first. at the moment SJ is my benchmark so from this point on it will be my marker.
-
coming on nicely
-
i'll keep people posted as i try them all out
-
yes becuase my accelerator pedal is not an on off switch
-
both sound good, might just have to try an ew bottl eof each as the old ones run out. drank half the bottle of SJ in one night nearly finished now 2 days in,
-
keep the stock wheels for winter, put decen twinter rubber on them
-
have heard of mount gay, is it really that good?
-
i like my bourbon but i'm really liking my spiced navy rum even if it is the old receipe got plans to try the Kraken next as others have said on the web its similiar to the old SJ receipe. apparenlty admiral vernons old J is the old SJ receipe revived. but i don;t mind the new one. am i really missing out?

More camera suggestions, SLR, where to start?
rtbiscuit replied to glrnet's topic in Off Topic Discussion
i got the canon 1100D for my 30th, have to say been really impressed. wanted canon as i have a stock SLR which is canon, so the lens are interchangeable between both. but it more than meets my needs for now. i have shoot video on it and its better than my wifes dedicated video camera. quality has been great and met all my needs. treated myself to a good tripod. and some cheap toys. have to say as a basic user its great on auto settings, but i'm weaning my self off as i get used to how the camera works and as i want to achieve more in my photos. -
recently i've been trying to find what my spirit is as at the mo i'd drink most things but not norrowed it down. my mate john is a vodka man as is sarnie. got another man who is a whiskey and brandy drinker. (mainly brandy) none of which i mind, but not what i call a favourite. so i got browsing on the whiskey exchange to see what was about. noticed the rum section and started reading. ended up popping out and buying a bottle of sailor jerry spiced rum. partly becuase so many people were moaning that they had changed the receipe back in 2010 and they had ruined it. so wanted to see what all the fuss was about. have to say i think i've just become a rum lover, well a spiced rum lover smells and tastes good neat, but just discovered if mixed with ginger beer over ice with a twist of lime its bloody amazing. so my question is, are there any rum lovers out there? do you have any reccomendations to try? any good mixers to try with it?

Why take any risks at all? Gawd does everyone here spin out and crash at the slightest hint of bad weather? The only issue i've had in the zed last winter was I wasn't able to get it around a corner with some camber and a slope, it was fine otherwise. On, wait for it.... Falkens!!! Change lanes or apply some power whilst changing lanes? The vxr8 is no doubt an entirely different beast to the 350z, doesn't it make pretty much all the power from low revs? You can have an accident at any time, does that mean you should stop driving? What about patches of oil, they don't only happen in bad weather? falkens on the XKR and on the last car, both driven in snow, both been fine. i alwyas took the corners knowing i was going to slide, and drove it like a drift car all at low speeds, great fun for the drive to work. my issue in that weather though was not the snow or the car, it was other drivers in the snow, as most road users don;t seem to know how to drive in the snow. i drove my old zed in the snow on barely legal re040's in the snow, very twitchy, but i didn't die.

where we up to on the list? who's next on the ted story

my wife drives my XKR; i only have one rule; you break it you pay for it i've let her take it on her own, and she knows how precious i am over my car so she rings me to tell me she's got there safely if i;ve been drinking and she drives it with me in it, i keep pressing the sport button and tell her to put her foot down even though it has loads of power she doesn;t use it, which is fine by me. my only woryy is not that she can;t drive it with out me, its what happens if she breaks down in it with out me once the timing chains are done this shouldn't be a worry. i know she can drive, she's very good, the boys fromo MR2ROC know she can drive. she'll never beat me on track and she's not really interested in tracking cars. she has her own car, its worth more than mine and she has the same rule as well. if i break it i pay for it my mate has a scooby and he lets his missus drive it all the time, he doesn;t mind as she drives it out of boost everywhere, so he gets great mpg, and knows she won;t spank it as she won;t be going fast enough she doesn;t like the turbo power. its only a zed, its insured, and if your worried about the fuel get her to top it back up when she gets home.

i did my own logo work on photoshop for rtcustomz, if you cant' find a pro, i can have a go if that helps. -
as for grip in general (summer tyres) bigger wheels help, but quality of tyre choice will have the largest impact. go for a good quality high performance spec like the MPS2 or the super sport or like a semi track tyre like the R888's will allow you to put the power down. if you go to 19" i think you'll struggle to find R888's but there are plenty of other options, but they do start to get expensive. Michelin super sports for my 20" are about £350 a tyre

near 400 bhp now and was fine in the winter and that was summer tyres as well. not saying it was a pleasant experience but its do able. if you really want to run 500 bhp in the winter, invest in a nice set of 18" wheels and bung some decent winter rubber on. with winter tyres narrow is better if your planning snow work. also narrow tyres are less likely to aquaplane than wider wheels. 18" also have a wider selection of tyre options for winter rubber. summer tyres are designed for summer, drop the temp to 0 degrees and below and the compounds rapidly lose effectiveness. doesn;t matter if your running michelin PS2's in the snow they will be alot worse than they should be. get some michelin winter tyres and you'll be laughing

after seeing this i'm tempted to do the red bits purple instead, but not sure if it would work. if i did this i'd also do the calipers purple as well. which would mean changing the wheel colour from gold to anthracite. i've been told the wheel centres i like aren;t as red as the photo. so i'm waiting to see the badge i've ordered for something else, and then i might colour match it to the background of that. you get so close to making your mind up then bang, it gets changed lol
