  1. Noooooooo! I hate rap music with a passion, but for some reason Regulate has always been one of my favourite songs ever. Damn shame, Nate Dogg was cool as hell.
  2. I want that more than anything. It's a proper super car in every possible way.
  3. I don't think you should run a 225 tyre on a 9.5" wide wheel, it's out of spec.
  4. I'm very surprised that a used Nissan bought from a main dealer doesn't come with at least 1 year's warranty, and I've never heard of any main dealer for any brand offering a car for sale with less. That said, it's all down to what it says on the paperwork you signed I guess. £1100 is a rip-off though, even if they're doing both slave and master (while you're there, I certainly would) I would expect a bill of around £800 at the most. Go and speak with the guys in Chester, they seem far more clued up and willing to help.
  5. Right, you're more on about TVR/MG flip paint than a pearlescent? Personally I can't stand it as it looks really dated, but if it's attention you're after you'll certainly get it! I don't think so, a decent pink on the right car can look awesome (Sumo Power comes to mind).
  6. Kinda my point
  7. I think those photos tell you exactly why not Sorry mate, really not for me as they look very stuck-on, but as long as you're happy then that's all that matters
  8. Indeed, and if the question wasn't so utterly stupid I'd probably lock it. However, it's the most preposterous thing I've heard in ages on here so
  9. No, the car's top speed isn't limited when the roof is down, it's just got the aerodynamics of a brick at that speed so you can't physically get any more speed out of it unless you strap a turbo to the car.
  10. The benefit of the Apple stuff is that whatever you buy from the App Store, it'll work on your device. Given the amount of different Android specs and OS versions floating around the place, while the device is technically more capable you can end up not running anything due to hardware/software conflicts (i.e. just like a PC). One's not massively better than the other, it just depends on what the end user wants.
  11. Revup Roadster tops out at 135mph with the roof down. Aerodynamics are really not in your favour after that sadly.
  12. You're completely missing the point, but thanks for playing anyway
  13. Chill guys, he's taking the mick, he was the one who doubted the claim in the first place, read the nested quote
  14. Not a popular colour, that's all. Most went for a shade of Dull Silver or Boring Grey, or a Sunset or Temper car as orange cars were all the rage back then.
  15. It's the other way round down here, far more 350Zs than 911s or Boxsters/Caymans. And I've also found that more 911 owners acknowledge a wave or a flash than the miserable sods in Zeds ever did
  16. They'd be fine, and perfect to kill off on a TD
  17. External headunit + steering wheel control loom means you can do pretty much this already. Well, I could with the Alpine unit I had in my car. Well worth it for the Bose hack guys though
  18. Yes, but never on one of my own cars. I'm not that daft
  19. Given that Peugeot themselves only ever claimed a top speed of 143mph, I'd agree with you 150mph on the speedo perhaps, but I shudder to think of the length of road you'd need to get to that figure.
  20. Because it's got different grip levels to the front. Better or worse doesn't necessarily come into it when you're playing with random tyre setups in emergency conditions, an over/undercorrection because of mixed feedback could easily cause a spin.
  21. You mean wax, not polish.
  22. I might've sneaked a couple of bits of pepperoni off the top of a floating slice
  23. This. Exactly this, it was like a scene from Friends or something! It was utterly heartbreaking when you hit the point at which you know you've completely ballsed it up, despite having had numerous opportunities to save it (don't order until the missus is home, don't put the shelf so low in the oven, don't put flammable cardboard in an oven, keep trying to blow it out as it will work eventually, and most of all don't put a decent pizza near a bloody bowl full of water!).
  24. So our local Dominos is doing a 'any pizza for £10' offer atm, so me and Jo thought we'd treat ourselves. She rang me just as she was leaving work so I could order a pizza to share and it would be here for when she got home. It arrived slightly earlier than my guesstimation, so to keep it warm I popped the oven on very low and put the whole box in the oven just as I've done loads of times before. I then went off to play with the cats, knowing that the pizza was in good hands. It wasn't until I smelt the smell of burning that I thought something wasn't quite right... I'd rearranged the oven shelves recently and put one too low, so I walked into the kitchen to find the back of the pizza box on fire. Proper flames-style fire. Oops. I yanked the whole box out of the oven in an attempt to save dinner, and started to blow on the arse end of the box to get the flames out. It was like one of those never-ending candles that don't ever go out, so I moved onto the next option: Douse with water. I'd just finished the washing up so had a full bowl of soapy water right next to me, so quickly turned and dipped the corner of the box into the water, and could only cry as I watched the ENTIRE ****ing PIZZA drop straight into the water, via the hole in the side of the box where the fire had burnt away the cardboard. I stopped. I cried. I lolled. I cried a little more. 20 secs later Jo walks through the door, just as I'm on the phone ordering another pizza. FML.
  25. Or you could actually do some work like you're paid to, instead of browsing the internet
