  1. Roadblock em and ask why they feel the need to give cyclists a bad name
  2. I always thought the best shot of Liam's Lambo was outside his house where you couldnt tell if it'd fit in the garage or not
  3. This. Get the job spec and see what skills they are after. Keeps sections on qualifications short if they arent after them and give more space for examples where you have shown the traits they are looking for and jobs a good un Also dont think the examples have to be from work. I use my scubadiving quite often as an example as I am a qualified rescue diver. As part of that I had to work under pressure, manage people, prioritise work etc. This can also be a good talking point in interviews - they want to see that you have a life outside work as thats where a lot of "out the box" thinking comes from. This was brought up when I interviewed for my current job as I sent them my contractor CV which doesnt have interests and hobbies on it and they asked me if I didnt have any and why I didnt include them.
  4. Colin - tsk tsk, a man of your experience should have known to try that Took me about a minute to give it a go after searching for a release. Amanda had the same problem in one of the hire cars she had - no obvious release in the cabin, tried to push and pull the flap - nothing. Phoned the car place and there is a tiny release (like the internal boot release in the 350z) hidden under the seat!
  5. Been there, done that The missus likes to take the spare key if we go anywhere and then usually leaves her handbag (with spare key) in the car - was very confusing the first time it happened as we were on the Wales run and the car was one day old! Thought it was broken already
  6. Its not a proximity system so you still have to physically press the button on the door or keyfob to lock or unlock. Just means you can have the key in you pocket and just use the door button. Please dont just walk off from it as it wont be locked
  7. Well thank for that vote of confidence Whose doing the mapping? Sure it will be fine and give you a nice extra bit of
  8. geraghtyr200 I think
  9. You need a scanner that supports JODB rather than just OBDII or EOBD
  10. Should be noted Graham can change it back whenever he likes
  11. I'd be up for some dyno action, was good there last time
  12. You can have it back if you want Graham, just a bit of fun. We have the old one saved
  13. Very popular on the MLR. Had my 350z dyno'd there as part of an MLR RR day and they seemed a good bunch. Gave the car a good going over and made sure it was properly warm before they let it on the dyno. Said it was the best sounding car by far - not hard against Evo 4-pots though is it
  14. Check the guides/FAQ section. Can be done I have it on mine. On iPhone ATM so can't get the link
  15. Already posted in this thread Danny is awesome though!
  16. We got a tank of fuel from Alfa because they thought Amanda was trading in her car (for a stupidly low quote!). Rather than ask, they assumed she was still trading it in so brimmed the new car with fuel out of sympathy. They werent impressed when we told them we werent trading in her old car, and the 90 quid profit they were making on the sale went out the door in fuel. They were on to make a tasty £1k-£2k on her trade in, and if they hadnt been so greedy we would have let them have it
  17. Could retrim it I guess, get some Alcantara or similar, make the rip structurally sound and then cover the whole lot?
  18. You can always have SLX which doesnt have the finned pads IIRC To be fair I've always wanted XTR but no with the gap so close to XT (especially now I think they are doing 2x10 XT) I'm not sure I could justify it. Can still dream though
  19. Think you might be a bit under biked for Whistler Yeah yeah I know. Now that they've trickled down most of the newest XTR tech to XT, I think I will be going that route now. Quite reasonable for what you get and weight difference is tiny these days between XT and XTR. Just doesnt seem like an upgrade when I have X0/X9/X7 mix on the bike atm. Will wait until after the wedding and see what fundage I have left (NONE I hear you cry )
  20. Get it over to Swinley - plenty of singletrack in there - your bike will suit it to the ground
  21. +1 - wish I had the dosh to build something like that for fun! I had been eyeing up XO 2x10 for this year but with the wedding I dont think its worth upgrading mine just yet. At least now with Amanda riding I can trickle down my old bits to her bike which is a good excuse to upgrade
  22. Actually given he didn't want anyone overtaking him, I'd say he needed to be further out. The point of taking primary position is to stop that kind of overtake so he should have been further over, I would have (been further over, not overtaking!) That guy doesn't look like the best example of a cyclist, let us know when you catch up with him so we can check YouTube
