  1. Interesting thoughts. I'd say that I care about my technology, but I'm also sick to the back teeth of having to fiddle with stuff to get it to work: These days it should work perfectly from the get-go, and not require me to spend an age with it. I guess that's why although I dearly want the S8 as the specs look amazing, I'm more content to have an inferior device technically but something generally more reliable. So yeah, I'd say your statement is pretty true. Thing with the iOS range is that it's now heading in a very different direction than it used to. Apple stuff was never the cutting edge technology wise but the design & quality of the hardware was always superior to everything, plus the software design aesthetic was incredibly cohesive and well sorted. Nowadays they're chasing the tech brigade to a point, and the OS is getting somewhat messy. It's a shame, but sadly it still fits my needs best so colour me white and make me baa and all that.
  2. It's always the same with size, it's just what you get used to (fnar). Everyone was shocked when the 5 came out, then again with the 6 and 6 Plus, now that's just the norm. I used to rip the p*ss over people who had monster sized phones, now I wouldn't be without my 6 Plus and anything else just feels too small to use as a device. I still look a twit when using it as a phone mind you I'd love an S8, but I can't get on with Android at all. That's just me though, I can equally see why some don't like the stubborn way iOS does things either.
  3. And at least this one has a proper gearbox now Sounds like a lofty target matey, will keep an eye on this thread with interest.
  4. They all will fit, trouble is there's many different kinds of seat and many different ways of mounting and many different side mounts and many different runners etc. That's when you need to get creative, sadly.
  5. So you're saying the road surface plays no significant part in that at all?
  6. If just material damage then nothing, you race at your own risk always. However, if the driver/team is seen to be carrying out dangerous activities, then the regs for the series will almost certainly allow for financial penalties. Not sure on Italian law, but on the basis that all EU law is broadly the same then if someone had been injured/died due to negligence then there would be both criminal and civil liability. That's the case in the UK definitely, and like I say I'm just surmising it would be the same across the EU.
  7. Can't say I blame him, if I had the cash I would too

    Audi S1

    Even if the S1 was the fastest car in the world, I'd still rather own a 350Z.
  9. Mine was this year Genuinely too, not just saying that to be an arse. I did the usual thing of saying "Ah okay, I'll get back to you" after they said they couldn't go any lower, then rang around many a company only to find out that the renewal was the lowest price after all, so had to go back and pay it anyway
  10. Wondered where the thicker lines were left, on the runway or on his seat?
  11. Agreed, it's the wrong call completely. If, as that article says, two-thirds of people are on non-fixed tariffs and could save money simply by making a 10min phonecall, then surely that's their problem? Ofgem already checks for unjustified price hikes anyway.
  12. AF are a broker, nothing they can do if their insurers list considers you a higher risk and wants to charge more.
  13. Should be, BT is BT (up to a point I know, but neither a WinPhone nor the 370 is that old that there should be problems). What happens when you try and pair it? Does it pair up with other phones okay?
  14. Could be a failing clutch switch.
  15. No such thing as a dumb question mate, always happy to help when people are prepared to listen
  16. Sounds like a geo issue to me, but could also be tyres. And without being funny, I wouldn't rule out driver error either, but the first two are easier to check Also, if you only changed the rear bushes then that end is a lot stiffer now, which is more likely to make the back end snap compared with the front.
  17. Which driver? Both are horrendous at it!
  18. Any old kind really, 10mm is massive overkill though, 3mm would be fine.
  19. Nope, can offset by as much as you want Think you mean steel plate rather than bar though?
  20. Yeah, if it's at different heights then my cunning plan won't work. Soz. Bolt strength is marked down as tensile strength, so how resistant it is to being pulled along it's length. I'd be more worried about it slipping and snapping than stretching.
  21. I hope Labour send Dianne Abbott :lol:
  22. Theresa you silly, silly woman. Why on earth would she agree to that?
  23. Good call, I meant steel and have no idea why I wrote ally. DON'T USE ALLY!
