  1. I was thinking of getting one this time round but ended up getting the Zed instead. I love the looks but the purchase price was just a little too high to justify. I think I might get one next though... (in blue)

  2. I like your wheels, are they still languishing in your garage? Makes your car look B)

     

    The only thing I'm not sure of is the carbon look thingy under the grill. Its the kind of thing people would change to the body colour if it came as standard like that.

  3. How much are you planning on spending to buy the car and what is your insurance budget?

     

     

    well i havnt really planned but i suppose not more than 7-8k if im gna get finance and insurance up to 1500 maybe

    thats y the mini is good its only 1100 to insure

     

    I'd spend £5K on a slightly older car but get something really interesting to drive. Then spend some more budget on the insurance.

  4. Hi Stuey,

     

    Unless your printer is no longer supported by the manufacturer (i.e. its more than 5 years old) you should find that you can download Vista drivers from the support pages of their website, specifically for your printer model.

     

    What is your printer make and model?

  5. Is it just me or in the days before ABS did tyres just leave big black lines on the road when they locked up? Why if you come out of an aquaplane with locked wheels will the results be so dramatically different than when a non-ABS equipped car does an emergency stop?
    In a panic stop on dry pavement it's virtually impossible to actually lock the wheel with standard braking systems (including non-ABS) -- the decelerative force simply exceeds the tire's grip capacity. You may think the wheel is completely locked but it's actually still rotating. You lose a lot of rubber, but it's lost somewhat evenly around the whole tire. When the tire is hydroplaning though it's quite easy to completely lock the wheel and it will remain locked (particularly if there's some level of rubber reversion going on -- melting or melted rubber) when the car exits the plane, thus almost instant pop.

    I can see the logic in that. Thanks for the explanation.
