  1. The trouble I have this time round is that Sturgeon's whose argument revolves around the fact that Scotland voted to stay in the EU (let's not split semantics, the split was pretty clear). She wants to take Scotland out of the UK so they can stay within the EU, or specifically the single market. However, it's a plan that falls over for the exact same reasons as last time, along with some new ones: - If Scotland leaves the U.K., it leaves the EU. End of. They will have to apply to join the EU, which means taking the Euro and sorting out the black hole in their finances. - If they vote leave before Brexit (possible, on Sturgeon's timetable) it leaves only 6 months max to sort out the legal breaking from the UK. That is far, far too short a time period to achieve that, so Scotland will simply Brexit with the rest of us. Plus she still has no answer for what currency an indie Scotland will use, where the money to run Scotland is coming from, why you'd rather join the EU than stay with the countries that you do the vast majority of your trade with etc. It's the same non-answered questions as before. She's had three years and got no further in formulating a plan, all the time watching the infrastructure in Scotland fall further and further behind. Let's assume they vote to leave in time, and sort out the documentation, and manage to do a deal with the EU where they keep single market access (which means unlimited immigration, if that's even a concern at all). Or even a deal to join the EU proper. Regardless, Spain will always vote no due to Catalonia wanting independence which means it's dead in the water. I find myself this time not being too fussed if Scotland votes to leave or not, but I do find myself hoping that it's for the right reasons and not a pie in the sky dream like Bexit was. Make your leaders give you accurate answers, not Evil Tory Pig-Dog rhetoric.

    Top speed

    Bit of a puff up the mini and it holds everything up!
  3. They'll be out of date in a couple of years anyway, looking at that rear design.

    It's also important to remember the role that drag has at speed.

    Nismo 350z?

    And a lot of time now insurers want to know about factory-fit options too, so no get out there either!
  6. I'm definitely out, until the gallbladder is out I'm not booking anything up in case I get a flare up again
  7. Good write up, well thought out procedure too Would be interesting to see how the pads do actually hold up on track, mind. Personally I'm not keen on swapping pads around so freely, however I can see your logic in it.
  8. Interesting, I do wash mine myself and I don't use anything particularly harsh but that's not something I'd considered, cheers Haydn.
  9. No way of knowing without you taking the console apart and checking the connections I'm afraid.
  10. Cheers dude, appreciate that. Actually, I appreciate the well wishes from everyone on here, genuinely does mean a lot.
  11. How the hell did I miss that, post of the year! :lol: Was def morphine withdrawal (I had no idea how close morphine and heroin are, as in once they're in the body they're identical!), but the IV antibiotics were vile as well. The second lot I was on made everything smell and taste like burning plastic. Pleasant. Am now home and on two lots of oral antibiotics instead, which don't have the plasticky taste but do still give me the night sweats which is lovely. Feel sick 24/7, although I am eating vaguely normally again now. All in all I'm a little fed up with this now, truth be told.
  12. We all love a bit of extra chub
  13. You can use any colour wax on any car, it's marketing gumpf
  14. Because it was dull, or because it was on early?
  15. I may have caught the odd 2mins, but a whole episode? Nope, never.

    370Z Nismo

    Actually, you've got that the wrong way round: You're far safer modding under the initial manufacturer warranty which only requires the parts fitted to be of equal quality (easily proved with BS numbers et al) than with any aftermarket warranty, which is just a contract and has no protection under law.
  17. NONE OF THAT IS REAL NOT ONE BIT IT'S BEEN MADE UP BY A STUDENT IN THEIR LUNCH BREAK ONE HUNDRED BILLIONTY PERCENT NOT WHAT IT'LL LOOK LIKE (IF IT EVEN COMES) AT ALL

    370Z Nismo

    Apart from losing £10k as you drive it off the forecourt, nothing to worry about at all. Just check they remove the suspension spacers on the PDI.
  19. That's the least helpful post ever. It's like saying that you like toothpaste.

    370Z Nismo

    Paying £40k for a new Nismo is utterly insane money. Either go used for the £25k-£30k that Sipar says, or buy a standard one for £15k and mod the heck out of it.
