  1. Nope, 'cos that means I'd be paying much more It's fine, leave it as it is. Although watch for it to go back up in the future when EVs take over the world (allegedly) and tax income dwindles again...
  2. Not any more, haven't for about ten years I think. I do miss it, only gave it up because I was running out of time to do other things, now I'd quite enjoy the distraction I think.
  3. Actually I quite like the look of that, might give it a try as well when I'm there, cheers for the heads up dude
  4. My little mk1 MX5 was more fun on track than my 911 ever was. Amazing just how much more entertaining stuff is when you remember it's ultimately sacrificial Nice vids Willis
  5. Sounds like a very positive step forward, although an incredibly hard one to take. FWIW I think you're doing exactly the right thing for all parties, even though it may not feel like it right now.
  6. Unless something is just plain ugly. I'd rather be boring than ugly. Some say I'm both mind
  7. The feminazis would have you believe that every man on interweb dating is a f*ck boy, and will get abuse exactly like you say. Sadly it only takes a couple of morons to perpetuate that myth, hence the women probably don't respond if not interested as they've been burned before.
  8. 2kw, not £, but either way like you've mentioned, not a single pic.....! Good spot, clearly I just read what I wanted to read. Still, at least we can all agree it's staggeringly overpriced
  9. Or anywhere that sells genuine bearings, yeah. Also geo should be done at least once a year, if not every 6mths if you drive on really crap roads often.
  10. That's your punishment for filming in 'Tard O'Vision But yeah, ECP do some good stuff and then they do some tat. Looks like you ended up with some tat.
  11. Oops, missed your last post dude! Fun fact: I made the DJ play the Metallica version of Whiskey at my wedding, simply because it's awesome Think I've nailed down the list of guitars that I'll be trying on the weekend: Epi 1984 Explorer ESP LTD Snakebyte Gibson Explorer 2017 HP Chapman Ghost Fret Pretty much decided I want an Explorer-type simply because it looks so much cooler than a Les Paul, just hoping one of those is comfortable to play. Initial thoughts going on interwebs and guesswork: Epiphone will likely feel outclassed, but then I have budget to replace the pups with something proper EMG 81/60s Snakebyte has probably the exact tone I want, but I'm not sold on the shape. Being a signature edition doesn't bother me, although I know some hate them. Gibson has a slightly wider fretboard so may be too fiddly, however the extra bits over the T (especially the G-Force auto tuning) is too cool to pass up. Chapman is an unknown, although the guy at Andertons said it was definitely worth trying (I'm aware of the link between Chapman and Andertons, so may just be sales patter!) May end up buying none, may end up with something completely different. We shall see
  12. *advertises £2K sound system* *doesn't show a single pic of it in the advert* facepalm.jpg
  13. I remember when I broke my with my ex who I'd been with for 7 years, and suddenly had to get back on the dating scene again. A scene I'd never actually been to in the first place, as I literally went from one relationship that started at school into the next at 18, so at age 25 it was a shock to the system. Anyways, there was one really cute girl who used to work in the local WHS and we'd always have a little chat every day when I used to pop in to buy the daily paper, so one day I simply asked her out. She said no, which I accepted with grace and walked away. Bizarrely it was one of the most euphoric experiences I've ever had, as when I realised getting turned down actually didn't feel as bad as I expected, I knew that it was something I'd be able to do again and again without any fear. Really hard to describe, and I certainly didn't for one moment expect getting knocked back to be so enlightening.
  14. VD is commercial garbage. Why would I want to spend 2x the price of flowers on any other day of the year, or go to a restaurant that will be twice as busy and be kept waiting for my food, or buy some expensive shiny tat just because all the ads on telly say that's the correct way to express love? Sod that. In truth I did get her a card this year, but only because I found one that said "You've got great tits!" on it and it made me laugh
  15. My brother met his current partner on Match, so it def does work. Think of it another way: How do you pick who you want to message? I'm guessing it's picture first, then the text. Women will be the same, and maybe your photo isn't working or the text isn't right. Not saying you're an ugly git or write like a 5 year old more like perhaps the photo isn't as flattering as it could be, or the text isn't standing out enough to sell yourself in the best possible way. It's a definite art form, as there's a fine line between showing off and trying to stand out. If you want an honest and independent appraisal, I'm happy to have a look over it for you.
  16. Can we stop encouraging the guy to put the price up please...
  17. Check the vent, make sure it's not circulating round into the tank. Very unlikely, but an easy check.
  18. Any awkward vibrations? Might be worth taking it out and checking the impeller anyway, easy thing to rule out.
  19. Dodgy pump internals? As in, when they spin up to create pressure they're creating turbulence in the pump itself, so essentially it's creating it's own air.
  20. Because some people on here are absolute cretins and need to be blocked :( And I thought we were friends
  21. Happy birthday for yesterday matey!
  22. It'll be a 4th Bummer stays, Scooby stays, truck stays, I just need a convertible back in my life.
  23. Let it go G Man. We know you think they're the bestest thing ever, we know there's some that think they're a pile of junk, then there's the truth that sits somewhere in between. No harm in defending a purchase or a hobby, but sometimes you just need to let it be. FWIW, I find the Mustang to be a wonderful concept that has just a couple of flaws I couldn't get past, but that doesn't mean I'm not glad that they exist and at least one manufacturer has the balls to make a manual V8 car for sensible money. Long may it continue. And yes, I'm aware of the biting irony of me posting this after my all-encompassing defending of things Porsche, so let's just leave it by saying I'm aware and shall temper my posting in the future to remember my own words.
