Oh I wouldn't actually change at this point, but the threat might be enough to get them working properly.

Anyone catch Corbyn's speech yesterday regarding Brexit? He says that Labour will immediately guarantee the rights of the 3M Europeans living in the UK, wants to stay in the Single Market but also wants to change migration rules, and bizarrely replace the Great Repeal Bill with their own EU Rights And Protections Bill. On the guarantee of the EU nationals' rights I can see why he'd want that, although as said elsewhere it's bonkers to go into an important negotiation giving away a trump card so soon, but each to his own. I agree it'll happen both ways regardless. Staying in the Single Market means accepting free movement of people. End of. These two are mutually exclusive as Cameron found out to his loss when he tried to negotiate his way out of dealing with a Brexit vote. To claim otherwise is simply a lie. And as for dropping the GRB, which let's not forget actually enshrines in UK law all those EU rights on workers that Corbyn desperately wants to keep (and tbh it's not like the Tories have said they want to get rid of any parts of it yet anyway) and then replace it with something that, on the face of it, sounds identical except it'll cherry pick the bits they want rather than keep it all. Is he utterly bonkers? Does he realise just how complex all these laws are? It's impossible to devise a usable law protecting worker's rights within the two year timescales that encompasses everything without either causing massive disruption and change to existing businesses, or without missing great big important bits out. The government know this, which is exactly why they've already said they'll just absorb the whole lot now and then sort out the bits they want to dump later. That's of course the sensible option, so why would JC want to do otherwise? It's change for the sake of change, and shows that he has zero grasp of how running a country actually works. And all that said, all we've heard in the last week has been from JC, TF and NS. It's about time TM actually spoke up and let us know what her policies are, I'm a little disappointed she's giving the limelight over so easily. It won't do her any favours, unless she's trying to give them enough rope to hang themselves with. Which isn't really working yet and is a dangerous tactic IMHO.

Not very, if you're the guy the rubbernecker hit

Been a while since I fitted mine, but I'm 99% sure that ain't a Popcharger you've got there. - They didn't come with alloy intake pipe - They didn't come with that style of alloy welded MAF adaptor - They didn't come with red filters The heatshield is genuine, at least! Looking good mate. Not sure I like that front lip with that kit, rest of it looks ace though
-
Depends how often, and what the reason was. If once a month, probably not. Once a week, probably. Continuously just because I was a certain colour and driving a nice car, definitely.
-
Speak to your solicitor and tell them if they don't comply within the next couple of days, you'll be instructing new ones to carry out the work instead. Old fashioned rocket up the arse.
-
For that money I wouldn't worry, I just take it straight to Apex Rotary and have them rebuild it on the spot. Worry-free driving for probably the life of the car, assuming mileage will be low because track car.
-
My cloth is still going strong too after a good few uses, seems like it's not really 'worn' at all.
-
And not with a stock car again, so for me that's invalid. Do it with a car straight off the shelf and I'll be impressed.
-
Clay cloth for the win, I wouldn't go back to bars if you paid me.
-
Bet the missus loves you That's awesome. Can't wait to get studio finished off so I can get a proper kit.

Brilliant

645 was never available in X-drive, plus I wouldn't want 4WD anyway. Less weight ftw!

I like how they let you move seats around in there, so you can literally jump from one seat to the next without having to walk around the entire shop Looks a snug seat with straight sides by the hips, where do you think the door will foul?
-
Which seat is it then? Come on man, you're dragging this out :p
-
That makes me feel better about the times I got last time I was at Pod in the BMW

We'll get whatever Brexit deal the EU will let us, in reality. The only major question is whether they can cobble together a temp trade deal before the two years are up, or whether they cop out and just extend the existing access as long as we carry on paying the amount of money into the EU that we currently do. The first option is a bodge and could make things awkward/rushed; the second one is a political nightmare as the opposition (whoever they may be) will jump on that as a weakness of the PM, even though it would be the right call to make for the long-term. Two years simply isn't long enough to get anything reasonable sorted, and A50 was never actually designed to ever be used. I suspect we may officially leave the EU in 2019, but we won't notice any differences to anything until many years after that.

Given the current RS has more than 300bhp from the factory, I think it's safe to assume the OP wasn't talking about the mk3
-
I'm kinda with Rich on this one. If it costs me £40 more for a set of tyres but I can keep a good relationship with the guys that actually fit them then that's worth it to me, for all those times I drop in with random wheels and need them fitted urgently But yeah, when you start getting close to or into three figures, then I'm sorry but I'll go with the cheaper option every time.

I'm still hoping Le Pen can pull off a miracle and win. Mainly because I have a fiver on her to do so Certainly a shift in momentum then, although it nicely illustrates the global shift to the right: We're now looking at a centrist and far right party as the dominant ones, rather than the standard left & right wing parties as you say. Same thing as over here really, Corbyn isn't really far left at all, he's just more left than the central ground that Labour (and the Tories) have shared for the last twenty years which makes him look extreme.
-
I'm neither good enough nor brave enough I might see if I can get some kind of comparison video up at some point, try and demonstrate the differences of the various bits of kit.

Absolutely fine.

Victory V30 'The Countess' 40w head plus matching V212VV with 2x12" Celestion Vintage 30s in it. It's awesome Tried the V30, the Blackstar 5H-R and the Orange Dual Terror. The Orange was great but not the tone I was after, and I initially went with the Blackstar as it sounded more versatile until I went back to the Victory and bizarrely it was like night and day. The V30 is two-channel, with a lush clean channel that crunches up nicely if you push it and an overdrive channel that's just barking filth. It's got soooo much oomph this thing, even at fractional volumes it'll push the air right out from under you. Thankfully it has adjustable power outputs for bedroom/studio use, from 40w to 7w to 2w. Trust me, even 2w is more than enough if you want to get on with the neighbours! Silly money really, but it's absolutely beautiful and I now feel like I've got a whole bunch more options now. I also bought a hanger for the LTD as it doesn't sit properly in the rack, and had a general tidy up too:

Couple of months back, but not speeding related. Quick chat, NFA.
