Bump

Im jealous. I quit my job this week! I've now got 10 weeks notice still to work. People are getting made redundant all around me, but because i'm a valuable asset I dont get the same luxury and have to quit to escape the shambles. I'm not happy! I've not even lined up another job to go to, I just needed to get out of there. Going to give Contracting a go. I've been there for 11 years, and its the only 'proper' job i've ever had.

Thanks Stu. I wasnt sure if this would be approved as there is nothing to photograph - all i have is a confirmation email. I spoke to the organiser today (Javelin) and I will just need to phone them with the new attendee's name and vehicle details to transfer it.

Hi guys, I have a trackday booked on 18th Aug all day at Anglesea. I paid £170 for the day but i can't attend (well, i can but i've quit my Job this week so now cutting all unnecessary expenditure). I'm asking £120 for the day please, via Paypal. Let me know if interested.

Hey guys, Im 33 and have worked with the same company for 11 years and its the only job i've had since leaving Uni. I started as a developer and then moved into Consultancy / Project Management before ending up managing the department. Sadly our company is being run into the ground by a terrible new private equity owner and over half the workforce has left or been made redundant meaning the job is becoming almost untenable for the few that remain. Annoyingly i'm on a 3 month notice period which makes me feel somewhat trapped... I've started looking for new jobs and have applied for a couple (on the same or slightly less money). However what im starting to think about now is contacting. Does anyone here do it or know people that have done it? I think i could very easily do software project management contracting and work on different projects at different companies short-medium term, as this sounds very similar to what my job used to be before i moved into management. If you have any info, what's it like? How do you get treated? And do you really end up able to earn the high amounts that appear to be possible (e.g. £350 a day is about £80k per year once holidays and bank holidays have been taken out). At that rate I could work 8 months of the year and have 4 months off! Can anyone recommend any good sites to find contract positions or am i best signing up with an agency? And the big question... should i just hand my notice in now with the hope of getting a conny position at the end of my 3 months notice????

I went from a Samsung 55" to a Samsung 65" a few years ago. Bigger is definitely better.

Who else is going to Silverstone this weekend then? I am! Me and a couple of lads from work are going. One of whom is a former Silverstone employee so is local, so we're staying at his house for the weekend. Im taking my PS4, PSVR and Racing Rig for a few laughs and beers at his house in the evenings.

The only other solution I have is i'm fairly certain it's the same Herpes driver that deliveres to my area every time. I could send something to myself via them and then confront the driver. Won't get my money back but i'll feel better.

Pi, Case, Controller, 32GB card, PSU. I've since bought another from an online shop and the same gear came in at £66. Agree, dick move by the seller. Both ebay and paypal have refused to refund me as the item was marked as delivered. I've literally just had confirmation from My Herpes that they've closed the case and that the item was delivered successfully.

Just after ideas guys... im not bothered about the money, but it's the principle that's pi$$ing me off... I bought a Raspberry Pi for £55 + £5 P&P recently. The auction stated P&P by 'Economy Courier'. I didnt receive the item and so contacted the seller, who checked with the courier. The order tracking states that the item was delivered successfully. Having contacted the courier to ask for more details (My Hermes), the delivery note states 'Delivered to secure location - Storage Cupboard'. I dispute this as a) I didnt receive a note through the letterbox to say delivery was attempted and the description could not be my house - there is nothing that could be considered to be a storage cupboard at my address. So far, the courier has refused to speak to me but says they will conduct a driver interview. This has now been 2 weeks with no response. I've asked the seller to chase, but he's got no motivation to do so. eBay say I am not elligible for Buyer Protection because it is stated as delivered successfully by the courier. The seller has also told me they didn't pay for insurance, so even if it was lost in the post we wouldn't be able to claim for it. Am i in the wrong to assume an item of this value should have been insured by default by a responsible seller? Would this give me any recourse to claim a refund from a poor seller? I can't believe I have no protection, or recourse in this case. This is either an honest mistake from a courier delivering to the wrong address, or I have literally just been stolen from, and I have no form of recourse or protection.

Also just realised I can't see when a thread was started either, without going into it. Im really struggling with this new main thread view.

You can see who started a thread, but the OP's name is in the centre of a line of varying-length text meaning you've got to read the whole line before you see it. I want to be able to see it at a glance without having to read it. Im reading in the Condensed view as opposed to Expanded too, whether that makes any difference.

Yes. Or OP's name... so I can easily see who's thread it is. On the old forum it showed thread starter on a left hand column, and last comment in a right hand column. I'm fairly sure i asked for this and it got implemented last time the forum was changed (or the time before )

Is there any way to change the thread view from the current one? E.g. PART EXCHANGE PRICE Coldel replied to JEMAN's topic in 350Z General It shows the most recent replier's avatar alongside the thread, so it just looks like a thread started to Coldel in this example.;

...and with regards to the contact - all the drivers know these cars can go wheel-to-wheel without risk of severe damage... he knew what he was doing.

Am i the only one here who thinks this was great TV? Yes it was wrong etc etc but it's reignited this thread as well as a lot of people's interest in the sport, albeit that may be short-lived. I say dont punish him - 10SG was adequate.

Why would you consider getting HTB when you've got enough for a 20% mortgage? I would absolutely be putting the biggest deposit i could into the purchase, and getting it over the shortest number of years possible... i.e. if you can get your mortgage over 20 years rather than 25 then you'll be saving 10's of thousands in the long run.

Nah the car sounds are terrible from the GoPro as it's in the waterproof case. Needed to cover the awful quality. No fuel cut problems... and the DSC could be turned off fully by holding the button for 10 seconds.

Looks like youtube have blocked it because i put a song in it... ffs. Edit - now hosted on Vimeo.

Had my first drift day at Oulton since about 2011 last week. Little vid below. The Rx8 handled far better than my previous Rx7 and E36 i'd used there before. Had trouble with it overheating though... it blew the fan fuse 3 times (twice on track, once on the way home). Common problem apparently, the airbox mounts drop and impede the fan. Should be an easy fix. I've also booked Anglesea in August for a full track day. Edit - i'm the tall one.

Sounds non-standard to me. Take a picture and post here to see if we can identify it.

Check your tyre pressures.

Where do you trade?
