  1. i voted for them as i thought they were our best bet at getting out of the mess, and i still stand by it. I've not grumbled at my pay freeze or my pension cuts, i don't like it but i understand why it needs to be done. i think road tax should be scrapped, and toll roads brought in. Green taxes should not be payed on the size of an engine but the amount they produce due to mileage. there is a lot to be said for dictatorships, when the party doesn;t change for 20 years or more it gives you the time to do those long term plans. not all dictators were bad, castro did a lot of good as did tito.
  2. its the same with women, never go back, you got shot for a reason, and the same reasons will still be there.
  3. very clever videos
  4. i have an exchange pair, they get dipped, sent up to the customer, and they send down their old ones in exchange. currently sorting 1 set out for another customer who's car is in the bodyshop and doing my exchange set as well. just currently going through some supply changes so things have been a little delayed recently.
  5. I blame the last party for the debt we're now paying off, and their fake green policy which was just away to cream more taxes. To be fair I don't like any of the politicians. Everything they do is for the short term as they are always promoting for the next term in office. They all just tamper with things than actually fix them.
  6. same here all signed up etc and i send letters to my MP, even get replies from him, but you know when you ready it that its the party line responce.
  7. and what are we supposed to do? no one has a decent plan to fight back, thing is we all need fuel and we're a slave to it, and the fuel companies and government know this. and since the last fuel strikes they've changed the law to stop that happening again.
  8. its called petrol rape
  9. I know android has its limitations, i really wanted to be on win mob by now, but its just not there yet. i liked the fact that apple was very user friendly, thats what makes them so good. I'm no fanboy, i'll float to what ever i think is best for me at the time, no brand loyalty from me; saying that i'm on my 2nd HTC phone now
  10. i hope to have some carbon dipped ones soon, currently in the process of changing supplier but should be back up and running soon.
  11. thats the thing, so many iFans buy what ever comes out with an apple logo attatched. Steve Jobs replacement could crap on a plate, stick an apple on it and seel it as iPoo and still make millions. they have alot of blind faith followers. i like their inovation on things like the apple TV the mac mini and alot of their design influence, but they no longer seem to be setting themselves apart from the crowd. its the poison challis that is being the market leader, at some point you get complacent and others take over. i remember all the other phone fads, think it went nokia phones first then the motorola razor things then the apple iphone question is what is and will be the next big thing. because if you look at both motorola and nokia, neither have the volume sales and the market share they held years ago.
  12. already a part of it, some of the info is shocking especially the oil speculators profiting off us by artificially inflating the price.
  13. who's this husky character???? as for the rainbow engine, its not being entered in a gay pride march wasso if i need anything polishing you'll be the first to know, but the garage doing the tensioners will do the painting/polishing while its all in bits. but i may well need some other stuff so i'll drop you a line when i'm ready
  14. i do carbon dipped ones look like carbon ones half the price and no stick on malarky, its the real trim in carbon, so no edges. viewtopic.php?f=38&t=63080
  15. thought about using wrinkle on the rocker covers, but these will now be carbon, and being the other bits are metal its so much easier to go for a smooth hammerite or a painted colour
  16. car colour is anthracite pearl, its a very dark metallic gunmetal, almost black, but close up has gold purple and green metallic flakes in it.
  17. that was very well done
  18. Been done in yellow green and red red and chrome (just found this, that might work well)
  19. I know this isn't the JAg forum i use, but the volume of people and ideas on here, plus the fact lots of my mates on here mean i appreciate the advice given. Basically my car is soon to go in for timing chain tensioner change. and to do that, lots of the engine is to be dismantled so i thought it a prime time to tidy it up while its in bits. This is currently how my engine bay looks my rocker covers are sun faded from the vents in the bonnet, so i have a spare set which are in the process of being "refreshed" with a difference. was going to do something crazy, but decided to keep a little bit of conservativeness being what the car is, so they are being carbon fibered. what i'm stuck on is what colour to paint the spark plug covers (in the picture its the bit with the word jaguar written in silver on top of the rocker cover) as well as painting the supercharger (the bit in the middle that says V8 on it) and painting the charge coolers ( the bits that say supercharged on either side of the supercharger) colours already on/in the car Car = anthracite pearl (cross between gunmetal and black) wheels = oyster (light gold) but this might change come refurb time to either a dark gold or possibly anthracite/shadow chrome) wheel centres = currently red and silver but when wheels are refurbed will be changed to these or calipers = currently grey, but will get a refub sometime so probably change to match what ever scheme i set up. current idea red spark covers or possibly polished aluminium ones red supercharger black charge coolers oil cap to be swapped for a polished ally one dipstick to be swapped for a polished ally one polish up lettering so it will be silver on both the red and black am i being to short sighted ? anyone got any suggestions or what to do some PS mockups? thanks in advance guys, as i've been pondering this for months
  20. tried apple, went to android, never looked back i'm not a brand whore, if something better comes out i'll swap, i'm hoping in 2 years time when my one X contract ends that win mob 8 or what ever it is by then will be alot better.
  21. good sky shot
