I had a goo look round the 06 roadster in the dealers today, and its got the phone controls, so why no bluetooth?

 

I'm still thinking of retro fitting this to mine.

Unless I'm being really dumb (quite possible!!) I don't have phone controls in my 06 roadster, they'd be on the steering wheel right?

fair enough, good on the new owners

 

So can I take this opportunity to gloat or not........

Good news for all new owners. So is it just the same system as before with the adapter installed in the centre glove box or is it all hidden away?

 

Fraid not, fairly confident that we roadster owners don't get squat on the bluetooth front

 

Yeh I know understand that and know mine doesn't have it. But was having a nice discussion with Val at the start of this topic as to whether the 06 Coupe does or not.

Note to self - read thread properly

Unless you're a vexilloligist of course

 

You might want to re-read that Gus - you just proved Stephen's point.

 

BTW what the f88k is a vexillogillollogillist?

A person who studies flags is a vexillologist

The word vexillology is a synthesis of the Latin word vexillum and the suffix –ology meaning "study of". The vexillum was a particular type of flag used by Roman legions during the classical era.

I use wikipedia too

Good efforts Sarnie on the meet mooting

its split mint id love it, finance says no though lol

 

wtf is 'split mint'??? Something like a polo?

 

I must be getting old.

Glad you asked - I'd no idea what it meant either

Same as, thought it was a reference to the "green top" engine

Enjoy

Don't forget to post some pics

Flashed and got a wave back from an Azure coupe this morning I was tunring towards Kilburn the coupe was heading towards the M1

While I'm clearly not condoning speeding, for those of us that do occasionally slip over the posted speed limit, how about http://www.jalopnik.com/cars/top/bullrun-tech-subterfuge-edition-electronic-license-plate-blur-effect-189348.php

Azure Coupe passed me on the Barton Cutting about 2pm ish, flashed and waved.

 

Wasn't allowed to chase as had the wife in the car and as she had "new hair" and it didn't go well with the roof down

 

Barry was it going the opposite way to you? Or the same.....

 

AS I'm pretty sure that I was on a bit of the A6 coming home from JAE yesterday...... saw a silver convertable going the other way with a couple in but didn't get chance to flash/wave etc

Was going the same way as me away from Luton, may have been us, but I was too busy being told off for driving too fast and waving at other cars to see the other side of the road

Why, would the wig blow off???

 

They're not cheap you know!!

 

Unfortunately I know your correct No offence m8t

None taken, if she saw me calling her new cut a wig after the amount she spent on it I'll be sleeping in the Zed

Spotted Chilli roadster (first one I've seen ) on Tottenham Court Road this morning around 8.15 am, reg L***UST, I was going to flash but remembered that I'd just parked the car and was on foot so that kind of flash would be wrong on so many levels

I've gotta be honest, I consider Clarkson to be incredibly funny. True he can be arrogant and a bit of a prick. But I certainly don't take him to be a genius of motoring knowledge or to have good car taste (or any taste for that matter) but I feel as long as you bear these things in mind he is entertaining and surely that is one of the reasons for the programme - to be entertainment.

 

I think we'd all like to change things in the programme but at the end of the day they're obviously trying to appeal to as wide an audience as possible and quite frankly unless a car programme was done by a true complete petrol head its never really gonna have us all raving about it is it?

Totally agree, he's an arse, he's arrogant and that's why I watch him

If I want reviews and product detail I go online..

Hhhmmmmm?

A W-16 engine that can produce 1,001 horsepower

A top speed of 250+ mph

A zero-to-60 time of three seconds

A zero-to-180 time of 14 seconds

or an Elise....

More a case of not wanting to stack their million dollars I think

****MAX Spotted in underground carpark just off Marleybone Road this morning

combination of first and last name

I believe the piston type dump valves are prone to sticking, and should be stripped and cleaned regularly. There was lots about this on the seatcupra.net site.

 

Mine sticks a bit because of oil buildup in the intake system (from the crankcase breather) - thin film of oil on the top of the piston makes it stick to the housing by capilliary action. Tends to make it reluctant to open coming off boost. Need to install an oil catch tank.

 

Leebar's problem is that the valve is too willing to open, not that it's sticking.

Cheers bernmc, sould that also cause a small amount of oil bleed out of the valve, if so I think you've hit the nail on the head

Don't worry you're not missing much

Just a sad puppy who enjoy's his job to much

Every time a file is sent by a server, be it text, graphic, video and so on, it is recorded as a hit.

So a page with 3 pictures and text would show as 4 hits, but would be only one impression, if the page is refreshed you get 8 hits, 2 impressions 1 unique etc

Just realised that I'm starting to bore myself now!!

Dooh, got my wires crossed (The Register is a similar figure for page impressions).

Where are you getting your site data from, some on site tracking tools report based on US time zones so 2-3pm could be 7-8pm etc?

Are you being supplied "hit" data or "impressions" as there is a fair difference in the definitions and therefore the numbers behind each metric?

Stop me if I'm getting dull!!!

30 million hits per month!

 

Crikey - last month we only scraped 1.6 Million.

 

Nice error message though. We could have custom error messages, but Id rather not tempt fate by designing them, afterall, we would never wish for you guys to ever see any.

The Register is the UK largest IT site and their probably looking at no more than 10 or so page impressions per unique visitor, I figure we're well in excess of that!!
