what a load of bolloxs, maybe we should pressure america for repararations after ahving to live with the stupidity. point 1. deaths caused by americans, there are the obvious ones the vietnam war, korea, iraq afganistan, south america, africa to name but a few. all situations where they put there nose in to places it should never have been and caused more problems due to there lack of understanding in global affairs. point 2.they may blame us for inventing the gun, but they buy and sell more than anyone in the world, making money from this invention so should they not help pay the costs. then take into account the amount of americans that die in there home country through gun crime. it is around 3,000 a year, as a comparison canada is next door, has the same gun laws, but only 300 people died. another glowing point of american stupidity. point 3. we may be blamed for global warming form industrialisation, but what about there nuclear bombs and all there testing, letting one of those puppies off must do at least 20 years of global warming damage in one go. and they tested loads of those. point 4. joining WWII late. if they had got off there arse earlier, it would have finished earlier saving thousands of lives. and no they didn't win it single handedly, it was a joint effort. we already know they cant win wars by them selves cough *vietnam* cough. point 5. NASA owe germany and the uk millions, as the majority of the ideas and technology come from europe. all those nazis they let off scott free and gave a big pay check to in exchange for furthering there rocket programme. if it wasn't for europe, NASA's space programme would still be flying kites in thunder storms. point 6. far east terrorism has increased 10 fold since the USA put its big size 11's in. have you noticed how all major attacks have been on american soil, the ones on uk soil are only because the yanks have draged us in because blair was to weak to say no (the big poof) if americans stayed inside there own borders the world would be a safer place. point 7. i'm just ranting now because that website was such a bucket of terd stories. but american cars kill loads of people, maybe the yanks should spend money on designing cars that actually go round corners and don't blow up on impact. loads of american capatilists have made millions on cars even when they know they should be recalled. and it shows now as american car sales were falling and european sales rising. don't forget the majority of early american settlers were religious extremists made up of quakers and mourmans who were thown out for there mental views. they went across the antlantic and wiped out loads of tribes with desease and guns. i can't be arsed to write anymore, but i'm fairly certain someone with a degree in american history could fill this up even more. it shouldn't take that long as there history only goes back 500 years, thats why there doing so much trying to make sure they have a decent history to look back on as most of it is screw ups through the ages. there like th international you've been framed country. ... sorry to any americans, i have no problems with individuals, the ones i've met have been very nice. but as a political giant it does iritate me somewhat.

parts shouldn't be that expensive but the air con may need re gassing. actually i think that pipe is just a moisture hose, to remove liquid from the unit. all the refrigerant is passed around the copper pipes.

lots of those answers sounds like they come from the ASDAN students especially as lots of answers seem to come from health and social care. i suppose you could refer to ASDAN students as the cream of the crop, but at the wrong end. i love working withthose kind of students, they are great fun to teach, and as you can see have some of the best repsonses to questions.

when i get home i'll set up a trade section, once i've had a think about it

i can easily do lettering, will have to sit down and work out a pricing for it. as i never contemplated doing this like a trader. if you give me size of the lettering i.e. if you were to draw a box round each word. as it gives me an idea on height. and have a flick through MS word find a lettering style you like and let me know. and what colour you want. what i will probably do is go and buy my own vinyl roll. but use the school equipment.

if i'd known you were at felixstowe i would have come visit, i only live up the road

sounds good

i read somewhere it only needs to be done every 30,000 miles?

i think i might be fitting the typhoon kit tuesday night, depending on what time i get in. if you wanted to pop in your more than welcome. will probably fit it, and then remove and clean the filter later. how long do you reckon it would take to dry after soaking it in water, before i could re oil and re fit? just trying to work out how long i would need to not drive for to do the clean? actually, i might clean the filter tomorrow night. ready for oiling and re fitting the following night, thats if your able to pop round

could easily do something like this in white with the middle section removed, and the wings if you like either side of the 3.5 V6 section. this isn''t wha ti have planned for mine, as i haven't worked that out, but more an example of the kind of images i can do

if your interested stew in adding any kind of image, logo, artwork etc to the engine cover i have a cunning plan for my own, but would be happy to share it with you. as i'm a technology teacher i have access to a whole load of great toys one of them is a vinyl cutter and CAd packages. if you have a picture/ shape tatto if you like and can give me a computer image of it i can cut it on the vinyl cutter. its easiest if its one colour ,but i can build up layers and do several. i have red, green, blue, yellow, silver and white at my disposal let me know if your interested and we might be able to work somehing out.

cheeky monkey

i use the nxt car wash and there deep crystal polish and deep crystal carnuba wax, its the last 2 steps of their 3 step product, but i can't be arsed with step 1 which is the paint cleaner, i'll clay the car if its that bad. i also have some of there nxt speed detailer for on the rn jobs, i'd probably wash the car if i was going to a show and take the speed detailer to touch up at the other end. i do have their hot rims all wheel cleaner but don't use it on this car as it is a little acidic and don't want to ruin the rays as they are a little delicate. but i have just tried out there Endurance High Gloss Tyre Protection Gel, which i have been very impressed with i think i even have their alloy wheel cleaning brush. gee's i nearly have their whole range.

never used it, i usually just polish and wax

that's good news mate. i'll have to get myself sorted on it as well. those scratches however small really annoy me. how does the meguairs stuff compair with the autoglym super resin stuff? would that be enough, and what wax do you use? cheers mate never tried autoglym stuff, i here its very good, i'm just a bit of a meguairs junkie. if i have any cleaning products its theirs, but thats personal preference. i think they are what you refer to as a good midrange product, there better than alot of stuff, but there is better stuff out there (i think) i'm not majorly into detailing but their stuff suits me right down to the ground. i usually wash the car in there nxt shampoo, as it cleans the crap off, but leaves the previous wax on. i then use their claybar kit if it needs it (Probably once every 6 months) then use there polish and then carnuba wax. its all part of there 3 stage clean. i also use there tyre gel as well, which works well on the tyre walls. the scratch x would be used i think before the claybar and polish. i like there stuff it makes my car feel as smooth as glass, and a very good shine. but i do end up spending about 5 hours cleaning the car. (good exercise) some others more proffesssional detailers would probably give you good feed back especially as they have tried a variety of products and could tell you whats best

i had a long scratch along my rear wheel arch, found it at the weekend when cleaning, i used meguairs polish and then wax. and its now nion invisible. i might get some scratch x for next time to finish the job off. because the paint is water based it is quite soft and fairly easy to remould if you like and hide scratches if you use the right products

some of the locals near where my parents used to live were terrible. and the parents at mine some of them stop in really stupid places. there is a dropping off point, but some parents instead of pulling in to it so others can go on into the carpark like to stop in the exit area, and so everyone has to wait till they shift. and when your running late, it really p1$$es you off

totally agree, with having them in front of schools etc. i work at one and there was a kid hit by a car last month. sixth former driving to fast came off a blind corner and hit him on a zebra crossing. more down to lack of experience and imaturity on the drivers behalf, the kid was ok, but it could have been worse. i also think there should be double yellow lines, a traffic worden and clampers outside schools as well especially the primary schools. all those bloody parents with huge chelsea tractors picking up one child. if i had my way there be a para regiment with rocket launchers perched on school roofs picking off parents who can't park, pick stupid places to stop, clog up the road.

camskills are probably the cheapest i know of, the tyremen are quite good, and my tyres are a little more expensive

looks good stew, will defo be taking ideas from that, have already bought the red paint, but i shall only be doing the engine cover, what i will need to do is work out how i'm going to mask off the 3.5 V6 bit. as i'm determined to keep it.

this is what i got, looks like a good set, and they'll find a place in my workshop no problem at all. http://www.screwfix.com/prods/17465/Han ... et-Bit-Set

my thoughts are the tyres, i wouldn't run different brands on different axles. other thought is what are your tyre pressures like, if your running low or over inflated that might cause them to kick out?

screw fix are pretty good. don't know if they do that though. other option is google that tool and see what shops come up

the amount of tools i'm slowly collecting i'll have to set up a fitting workshop for all those who cant or don;t want to fit there own stuff

lol i refer to my students as padawans. if i'm a young jedi does that make you yoda or obiwan kanobi i think yoda
