  1. It's a good point, is there any?

    Everyone will tell you to go with a place that uses a Hunter machine. They're wrong. A bloke with string can be just as accurate as a guy with a Hunter, it all depends on the user. Must be somewhere local to you that someone on here can recommend?
  3. We get out more than we pay in, it's just not a direct figure. Col has made that point time and time again in this thread, in the most eloquent way I've seen anywhere on the internets. As I said earlier, any extra money we may or may not get from leaving wouldn't go towards anything other than paying off our debts. NHS, roads, education etc won't see a penny. And you do realise that we get the same thing from the countries you mention as we do from the EU, in terms of money in to money out? We pay them £10Bn in aid (or whatever the figure is), they then make sure their companies place orders in the UK for the value of £20Bn. That's how the world works, so if we stopped all that aid then we'd be stuffing ourselves. Politics has changed so much these days, we'll never see another Thatcher or Churchill again. You talk about a strong leader, well I'd argue the closest to that anywhere right now in the developed world would be Trump if he gets in: Is that what you want? Politics is far more subtle, you can't just bowl in and demand everything without making concessions. It's naive to think otherwise.

    Get a geo done. But yes, toe settings can cause this and yes, it can be done for handling purposes. Kyle is also spot-on when he asks about it being lowered.
  5. So how do we negotiate a better deal if everyone is too lazy, and they'll just keep things the way they are? I don't mean to be deliberately obtuse (for a change), it just looks like a contradiction.
  6. You can mock, but that literally was me back in the day. Exodus man, it was all about the Exodus raves! With the original crew of course. Jeez, those were the days. Mashed out of our eyes, dancing all night, coming down as the sun rose. Excellent times.
  7. So if everything will stay the same, why spend the money to leave?
  8. Depends if you like holidays or not No-one buys British just for the sake of it any more, not when a lot of our stuff is overpriced tat. If you're going to buy tat, might as well buy cheap tat. I like the theory of buying British, but I can't remember the last time I did on purpose.
  9. Hang on, you can't claim a load of rubbish and then link to an article from the Daily Express!!
  10. You know who he is though, right? That's like saying the Queen is just an old lady with a nice line in jewellery.
  11. I'll be honest, that first pic is really not what I expected
  12. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36273448 Mark Carney says a Brexit may spark a recession. A man worth listening to, considering his position.
  13. Well, I guess I'd call a similar drop to what happened post-vote announcement a plummet.
  14. Sprint is ace if you can fit, it's what I run in my cars. Despite being steel tube framed, it's actually lighter than a lot of other more expensive seats
  15. @JP: Go down, really. I've no idea by how much as I don't follow the currency market that well, but let's assume it's more than just 0.1% or something daft. Tell you what, let's ask Lexx to decide, as Admin here I'd be happy with him to be impartial if that works for you? And my £10 to charity please, the Club's got enough money in the bank
  16. Hang on, they can't both be on rails if the passenger one doesn't move! The reason the driver one is higher is because it's on slidey rails, and the pax one isn't. Easily sorted, just buy some for the pax side too.
  17. I'll have £10 with you JP on the pound dropping if we vote to leave. It went down as soon as the poll was announced and early surveys said we'd vote leave, so I reckon my money is safe there. We'll never, ever lose Sterling if we stay in. Ever. It would be suicide for any government to ever contemplate that. You'd see the Yanks ditch the dollar first, and that ain't likely either.
  18. A lot of people are, and I think that's a shame. That said, I genuinely don't think there'll much difference if we're in or out. We'll still have to abide by EU regs, we'll still need mass immigration to fill the crappy jobs, and we'll still have to argue the toss over money stuff. I do think we'll suffer economically in the short term, and I think it's a shame that my future kids won't just be able to pop over to Europe and grab a job during their gap year, but ultimately it'll just be more of the same. I'd rather be trying to influence from the inside than the outside though, and I think that's where we'll suffer the most.
  19. Makes me feel a lot better about my wheels! I'm just glad the OP is happy with the car. All of it.
  20. You'll never get let out of a junction again, believe me True friends will be glad you're happy, and desperate for a ride out I suspect.
  21. Don't think so, they look like they've got plain f/g backs and the Sprints are covered all over. They look wider at the shoulder than the Sprints to me. Now watch them turn out to be Sprints...
  22. Gallardos can be a pain to live with, never mind the eye-watering servicing costs. Anyways, what a boring looking car. Engine in the wrong place, looks like a Beetle, common as muck, all the same, driven by bankers. Think that pretty much covers it mate, you should only get positive comments now
