  1. Labour have produced a stunning campaign, and the Tories the biggest clusterf*ck of one I've ever seen. No arguments here at all. That said, it would be amazing (and frightfully disappointing in terms of people simply switching based on media campaigns) if the Labour wipeout in the locals was reversed in just a few weeks. I've still got money on Corbyn to be PM at ridiculous odds though, so I'm okay Do Labour voters really believe that Corbyn will be able to do half of what he says? Tory stuff is relatively easy to believe as it's deathly dull and obvious, but some of the Labour policies are pie-in-the-sky stuff.
  2. That's crazy talk!
  3. But who pays for the state-funded insurance? We do, via higher taxes which only get paid by those that can afford it, therefore perpetuating the vicious circle of those who can't afford it not paying into the system. Besides, not fair to make everyone pay for state-funded insurance when not everyone drives.
  4. I get better fuel economy from my 4.4 V8 than from the 2.0 turbo flat-four in the Impreza. The Bummer is better on fuel than my 350 was, too.
  5. About two years ago, I think.
  6. I suspect you're, right, but I'd put money on the AMG thing being even quicker. Aren't Ferrari doing another Ubercar too?
  7. Sorry man, I know we've had our differences but I couldn't let you do that: it's truly dreadful and tacky. If you really must, at least keep the words next to each other. But still don't
  8. Thank god they didn't make more of them!
  9. Some can, and tbh yours is a frickin' powerful one so it's gonna get a little warm. Def not suitable for use on a lap!
  10. Have an idea for my Nismo... or your 6 http://66.media.tumblr.com/007168c486c96f0a50ea2e616368b2fe/tumblr_oblmo8cJED1ug9hqfo1_1280.jpg Le Mans next year! You don't even want to know how many times I saw Girls Aloud in concert then...
  11. Agreed. A Labour win would be chaos for the markets, and we can expect to see the pound weaken considerably I suspect. A Tory win (and a proper one, not just a couple of extra seats) would mean that the pound will creep back up again, but not by a huge amount. A hung parliament would be bloody awful though.
  12. I did indeed, and it's worth every penny. The manual is a massive thing, packed full of pics of the Porsche factory and how they build the cars. The model itself is put together in the same order that the car is built in, i.e. you make the engine & PDK 'box first, then you make the base chassis, then you mount them together etc. Took me a good few hours to build over about a week, and it's absolutely huge too. I'm hopeful that Lego will do more of these, maybe something from McLaren or Ferrari seeing as how they already produce smaller versions of those cars already. Not cheap, but I got mine from a chap on PH who does bulk buy discounts. StevoD bought one for his Dad at Christmas, think it was about £150 from memory which is an utter bargain.
  13. 97 is absolutely fine to use. It's 95 you should avoid.
  14. Yeah, it's just a big car park. All the other bits they mention will be there for all the public to try, personally I'll be watching the racing Unlikely to need to give your name either, not with 500 cars going!

    Seriously, just do the springs, that'll give you what you're after.

    Okay, let me ask a different question then: How do you think the current system the security services use should change? I.e. instead of monitor up until the point a crime is committed and then act, what should our they do instead? At what point should they act?

    Okay, so how do you think they should define it? Someone with terrorist mates? Someone who downloads a bomb document? Someone who one time visited an IS website? You can't just say trust the security services, as they have to have defined boundaries too. I can't believe you don't have an opinion on this, put it that way.

    I didnt say that at all, lets be realistic about what the security services deem a terror threat and i am sure that doesnt include isis popping up in a google search The security services know who these people are in most cases with very good reason. But how would you define who is and isn't a threat? Serious question, not being flippant on this. Genuinely curious to know what you'd define as a terror threat.
  19. If there's one group of people I wouldn't muck around with and try and blag, it's mortgage lenders as you literally put your entire house on the line. I also wouldn't muck around insurers. Or the taxman. Or armed gendarmes. /spanish inquisition
