  1. I've given up tbh. The few good bits each episode has are so far outweighed by the dross that I just don't think it's for me at all. I also find it a pain having to fire up an app just for one programme, and the app itself isn't exactly user friendly (Xbone), but that's a bit picky if I'm honest with myself. I appreciate millions will still watch, and when it's good it's pretty damn good, it's just that those bits are so few and far between.
  2. Oh man, those rifles are mint! I'd love one of those, how comes you ended up with two? I didn't expect A3 DC to make as much of a difference as it did, if I'm honest. It went from okay but weird to a work of genius.
  3. You do need to go pretty tough on them, the idea is to generate some serious heat (especially the last set) and accelerate as quickly as you can to target speed.
  4. When you nail the perfect line coming out of the Karussel... Not the best pic of my old car, but I love it because that livery (left on from the LM trip a week or so before) works so well on that colour, and for a big ol' gal she was pretty handy all day there at the Ring. Fun facts: That's my old VXR220 behind me, and I'm on MPSS purely because I forgot my locking wheel nut key and so the 888s I'd had shipped out there had to stay in the paddock
  5. Alien 3 needs to be watched as the DC version, else it's a little dull and silly. Aliens, on the other hand, is just made more awesome with the DC. I quite like Alien Res, but I acknowledge that it's a pretty poor Alien film. Doesn't mean I don't secretly enjoy watching it though...
  6. He's never gonna dance again. One minute you're alive, then Wham! You're dead.
  7. Being correct is never pedantic. And hey, it wasn't me for once!
  8. Overtaking is easy, look up the inside then pull fully out to the other side, like you would do anyway
  9. Probably, but might just be pad transfer. Go and do a proper clean up procedure, and see what happens. 50 to 30 light pressure x5 70 to 30 med pressure x5 100 to 40 hard as you can but not triggering ABS x5 Leaving a good few miles of driving without touching the brakes in between.
  10. Aliens is the best film ever. I could watch that over and over. Pics of the pulse rifles plz!
  11. It's absolutely fine. As Lexx says, Brits cope cope okay when driving in Europe, and that's a bigger adjustment as everything is backwards! I've only ever driven the Hummer over in the U.K., but I've not had any issues not related to the size of the damn thing. The LHD aspect doesn't even factor into it when I'm driving it. In your case, I'd be far more concerned about buying something that wasn't a rust bucket, that wasn't going to cost me a fortune to maintain, and that wasn't going to mean I'd have to wait ages for the parts to be imported. I'd also make sure I had a good specialist vaguely close by (50 mi), just in case
  12. It's a cool stand up one with a little pot that captures the cheese and keeps it for later I tried the violin once at school, but I couldn't really get the hang of it. Managed to butcher the riff from Breed by Nirvana on it, but that was my lot. Good luck with it dude, keep us updated
  13. A 1L Corsa will probably cost £70k in 2017
  14. 2007 - VXR220 2027 - Something with a flat six and a manual 'box from Stuttgart I hope!
  15. Sounds like you'd be doing everything she wanted, not what you wanted. Time to kick back and chuck on Rambo or Predator this evening with those cans, I reckon Have a good one folks
  16. Continuously Variable. Continuously. CONTINUOUSLY. That should give you an idea as to when it operates. There is no VTEC-yo changeover point, there is no big kick in power, it's purely you're using too much throttle for the conditions. Power builds linearly, so more throttle = more power.
  17. Legend. Massively under appreciated by the younger generation I suspect, but forever a guitar god with an impeccable sense of timing and knack for a hook.
  18. What do you mean, where the power band is? It's a large NA engine, so you have bags of torque low down then a good dollop of power which tails off just before fuel cut. That's it, no magic or anything. You're going to have to understand the relationship between your right foot and grip on the road surface before worrying about power bands.
  19. Check their websites, that's the best way (along with checking here regularly too!)
  20. No. Adjust your right foot, it's easier and cheaper.
  21. I'm buying my other half Impreza bits because she broke it today. Does that count?
  22. Stop listening to Heart FM then As far as I am concerned, there are only three Xmas songs: Pogues Mariah Original Band Aid All others are utter garbage. Slade and Wizard especially, but also Shaky & East 17 & Wham. All crap.
  23. *awaits the post from someone saying they've got a mate who owns a body shop, he's proper quality, only charges £100, did his, came out perfect etc* £300 would be about right, I agree.
