So what time u make it to bed finally mate?

 

Anytime!

I'd be more than happy to taek you for a spin, just give us a shout.

 

It just cant compete with the rumble of the Zed though

Nice one mate

Yeah specially stuey's & lomoto's thru Welsh tunnels eh???!!!!

One the head bods of the Halifax group is called Roger Boyes

What do you mostly use the car for?

Iirc yellow stuff are track focussed, you'll need to get some decent heat into them to make them have much bite - and you won't get that on the road.

Better off looking at some redstuff or greenstuff. I've got the reds & have been really, really impressed with them but no idea on the discs as been running the pads on oem discs.

Others popular choices seem to be Ferodo DS2500 and Mintex Extreme.

Jim, I never bother with extended warranties either, it seems a waste of time to me. And there's always home insurance with accidental damage

I always work on the assumption that if it's gonna go wrong then it will do pretty quick (and usually well within 12 months), as evidenced by the first TV Curry's delivered to me - it lasted 3 weeks (but at least I got the brand new more expensive replacement model for no extra ). And if it hasn't gone wrong within 12 months then it will do just after your extended warranty has run out - least that's what I've always found in the past!!!!

Happy belated birthday fella good 2 see it didn't affect your humour

Wow, just wow

Or can succesfully convince your punters you're worth your fee, you must be able to sell ice to eskimos too mate

I know tell me about it!

It feels soo much smoother now, previously it peaked at jst over 150lbs/ft now it pretty much never drops below 150lbs/ft. Picks up soo much better, i dont have to use as much revs now to make progress.

 

Going to sort the suspension out next and get some wheels before i try to get any more power.

 

Still, feels like how Honda should have released it. Paul at TDi North was brilliant. He had me booked in for 2 hours but spent 3 hours on it to make sure it was right before he handed it back to me. Oh and im getting better mpg too

Have to blag a run with u sometime fella

Limping in here, so far behind on posts it's untrue, but I'm tryin folks!

Sorry for the delay but I really wanted to make a comment.

Firstly and, most importantly, well done to all the team for handling the whole situation so diplomatically and without any noticeable disruption to the site which is always a great place to be

On Val all I can say is my own personal experience, he was the first person I met from here and he always treated me with respect and we had a laugh, but gotta say been seeing the banned smilie a lot less

Sorry to take this off thread a little, but I have been considering the purchase of a 37" set (can't fit anything larger into the small room). I have looked at a Panasonic 37" LCD and a Samsung 37" LCD. Both are 1080p HD ready and look great, but the recent Which report gave Samsung a poor overall rating for its LCDs (though they did not test this particular set - LE37M86BD). I've also considered the equivalent Sony set, but was not impressed by its appearance or price.

 

At the same time, I have noticed that Panasonic now also make a plasma set at this size, though I'm not sure if it's resolution is as high as the LCD set. So now I am spoiled for choice. Anybody got any views on the long term benefits of going plasma as opposed to LCD? My main uses are for watching broadcast (Sky), occasional DVDs and showing our own digital images.

Jim, don't know if you've sorted this yet or not but on the assumption you haven't I'll chuck in my thoughts.

I bought a Samsung 40in LCD (LE40M86BD) and it's awesome. You'll find that the (can't remember whether it was contrast ratio or brightness) is about the highest on the market at 15000:1 which means that the colours are really sharp.

You'll notice much more of a difference over a normal tv running a full HD source through it, the PS3 looks incredible

Agree that anything over about 40in is plasma territory. Also when plasma & lcd were being developed some manufacturers concentrated on plasma & others on lcd. iirc correctly there are only 2 manufacters of lcd screens (they then supply all the other brands), Sony aren't one of them but Samsung are. In fact its a Samsung lcd screen in Sony TVs.

Finally joined the club!
