*rant* This rev matching thing is doing my nut in now. I don't have an issue with it existing, and on the 370 you can at least turn it off, but now other manufacturers are in on it. Porsche, for example, have this in their sports cars now but it only comes in when you turn on Sport mode. Fine, no problems there. However, if you want Sport mode (so sharper throttle, looser TCS limits) you have to have the revmatch on, even if you don't want it! Only way to turn it off in Sport? Turn ALL the TCS systems off completely. Utterly ridiculous. */rant*

Still no pics I can upload, but I promise it's not an April Fool. Wish it was, mind.

So today I bought some parts for the car, which is one step closer to getting it back on the road. However, I bought parts for the wrong end: New bootlid specifically so I can run a BGW and not wreck the original! Never let it be said that I do things the right way round. Car is still sat on the driveway, insurance going nowhere fast, tbh I might just get it repaired and take the other guy to court myself.

No probs

M12 x 1.25

I don't think it's wrong to have an opinion, put it that way.

Both now gone, thanks guys

There isn't, no. Tbh it would take some proper computer and sensory wizardry to make it work anyway, so would be more than the cost of the car to do. Besides, it's much more fun and satisfying to do it yourself.

Yes, you use your right foot and blip the throttle yourself

5 min job, once you're underneath the car.

Very sore throat. Ahem.

Lift the plate up a bit so it goes through the middle? Or easy to cut a couple of small bits of ally to use to lower the plate to the correct position.

Screw through the bumper then? I dislike any plate brackets, nothing looks better than a plain plate.

Double sided sticky pads ftw.

I didn't even comment

So CMD released his tax return today. Turns out that, in shock news, British man earns money and pays the right amount of tax. In other revelations, grass green and sky blue.

Tinfoil hat, table 1!

Just do what I do and buy the first car you see, death or glory!

Borg regenerative shielding. Duh!

I could not possibly comment on these wheels or their suitability for a Zed.

I have no idea. I've got dibs on an RX8 if I want it but it needs a rebuild, or I might grab another MX5 just because fun. I might get something ridiculous and strip it right back just for a laugh, like a diesel Volvo estate or summat.

Of course we democratically elected them, did you miss the huge vote last year?! We had an AV vote. Nobody wanted it. That's proper democracy.

So assuming we do away with tax havens, what then? Some companies and people do actually pay the full tax amount on their earnings there, exactly like CMD has. If we remove those havens, the UK coffers will simply not get that tax at all. Better some than nothing. Also, the Olympics were absolutely brilliant. Yes comrade! Come on, of course they are! If you take the risks, you should reap the rewards. Everyone who makes big bucks has made sacrifices to get there, the one exception being inherited money but even then someone at some point had to take a chance.

And the car is gone. I'll miss it, but at least I get my garage back now *hits PH classifieds in search of next project*

I always give Col likes, he talketh much sense! #teamlikeback
