  1. I agree Heidfeld had a good race with some good overtaking moves but that was partly down to the poor tyre choice of others. When you compare his performance against Kubica in previous races he is clearly not in the same league - remember how Coulthard could not seem to get a quick single lap in for a long time at McLaren and that is Heidfeld's biggest 'achiles heel' - perhaps he does not have that natural ability Hamilton has to know the limits of grip in all conditions? As GC350z says, Massa had an appalling race - might have been a car set-up issue but he looked a complete novice - perhaps he is the opposite to Heidfeld - can get the most out of the car when it is dry but in the wet, and without traction control, he is literally all at sea! Yeah, sometimes the 'limit' catches out the very best and in the windy conditions on Saturday that included Hamilton as well, aggravated by a turn in a couple of metres too early to throw him off line to lose mehanical (as well well as 'aero' grip) to send him off line and not get pole. But then to nearly steal the lead on the first corner in the race and hassle his team mate for several laps who had to pit for fuel first, showed that Lewis is in a different league. Hats off to him.
  2. from one grandad to another many congratulations - what's his name, little Phil
  3. +1 Establish what parts they say are required and get a second opinion from one of the parts suppliers on this forum/ESR. Having already replaced the switch if it is the BCM module that is one very expensive unit.
  4. mbs: If you must put the zimmers forward please at least do the honourable thing and post up one with wheels on it
  5. = a very expensive engine rebuild - if respected tuners have indicated 400bhp is the absolute max without the internals been uprated then be prepared
  6. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esl2NNOtHQE A classic -
  7. Yeah, now you have been seen in the flesh Nixy, lets see you in the ZED - should be a cracking a weekend and Stew has promised it to be dry (I hope he means the weather )
  8. You might jest (or not ) I've already been looking at the tuning potential of the motorized buggies for us users
  9. Just spotted the lift from 2007
  10. Reckon Stanski would have given them a run for their money - even with a box full of cakes on board Just had to post something seeing I have hit a 1000 posts and am now a veteran in all respects Whore +1 Pure novice compared with you 2 and oi,
  11. Meet on 16/9? - 2007 or 2008?

  13. Something special about 16/9?
  14. Got to admire Hamilton's drive this time - he IS the next Senna in my book. Could have lapped the whole field if he chose/was allowed. And McLaren made the Ferrari contribution look very weak - Massa so lucky not to have binned it with the spins he had. Shame Barricello had a fuel fill problem otherwise he would have bettered his 3rd place - inspired trye choice, although I thought Martin was a bit strong on his trye views when it was raining - seeing what Lewis could do on the inters. Good viewing just looking forward to no ad interuptions next year. What's the betting of Donnington getting the GP from 2010 - I reckon it is a hurry-up call from Bernie to Silverstone? Knowing the planning process that will take a year+ - its not so much what they want/have to do on the circuit its the off-site issues that will throw the real gremlins.
  15. Nah, all naff.... ... not a 350 to be seen in any of them. Seriously though, they are are top notch - the first one of Wast Water (I believe?), is terrific - having seen similar shots of that location Liz has captured the rock formation reflection brilliantly
  16. Mke: A mod and graphics man and you don't know how these work - you're being coy
  17. Not motor sport wise
  18. It was pity Brands could not get the planning permissions that would have got F1 because that it is by far the best circuit and is very well placed - for me
  19. great!! Great if it is, who can ever forget Senna's opening lap in 93 in the rain. Here's a video of the opening lap for those that don't remember it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-t75o84nHE The confidence he displayed in this one lap is incredible. I wonder what other drivers thought after watching a repeat of the race. One to take real advantage of better grip off-line in the wet, in addition to his extraordinary skills.
  20. yeah, guilty too , I had a TV175, no lights or mirrors (already into speed then ) but I had the obligatory air horn and parka - really upset the teachers when I drove it to school as they walked in
  21. I appreciate that I can't see around corners or through bridges, but what i mean is that if the detectors don't pick up the scatter, its not going to make any difference whether i have one or not because as soon as it goes off, i've already been caught. I guess i need to do more reseach but it sounds to me as though, you buy one of these things and hopefully it will pick something up early enough for you to brake, but chances are it won't. So prob best to pick up something with camera location database, and if it has the benefit of a detecor of some sort it's a bonus. The 'scatter' you mention is a bit a red herring - the best laser detectors come with sensors you fit close as possible to your number plate as by their very nature the beam is targeted at the plates and also so that the car can be identified from pic taken. As others have said on previous threads the only proven way to beat the laser is using a jammer which is illegal. Reading the blurb on the latest lasers being used they can tell if a jammer or 'parking assist' is being used and are likely to stop you and if caught that means a ban and a very hefty fine.
  22. OK just had re-thought - I think you have the DRM spacers and you will need a special tool that unlocks the 'nuts' (not collars) on the original studs - rather like a locking wheel nut. Might need to contact one of the specialist accessory outfits to help you out.
  23. This might help, although it is for Rays http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... +refurbish
