  1. I saw something cool on the internet once. It was great, but you'll have to take my word for that.
  2. My body is a temple. So is mine. Only the purest quality liquor and class A drugs pass my lips* I don't do drugs. Drugs are bad, mmmkay?
  3. Because chocolate eggs.
  4. Pfft, wimps Hobby knives are the best, proper sharp blades so you don't need any pressure.
  5. Did you mean to post this 6 months ago?!
  6. It's not glue, so no. You need some silicone remover, you can get it from B&Q etc. Or just get a sharp knife between the two surfaces?

    VDC off?

    Mixed tyres. Causes vehicle instability on high speed turn in, that's the first thing I'd change.

    And post natal abortion, just in case one duffer slips through the net. Like Graham Norton, for example.

    There should be a licence to breed, definitely.
  10. Also, kudos on removing the ugly things!
  11. Just pull. Silicone isn't very strong at all, the eyelid will snap first if you're not careful, then attack the light with some silicone remover.
  12. I prefer calling them selfbalancing scooters myself, as Hoverboards need to have a Mattel logo on them and actually hover over the ground I prefer to call them 'Chav-o-tastic Boards'.

    VDC off?

    It will intervene if it detects a certain amount of slip from the wheels. That exact figure I don't know, I'd guess around 3-5% from experience. In your example, you have to remember that weight transfer is key. In the CTR, if you go in to fast then all you do is understeer, as the wheels cannot turn and transfer all the power at the same time. To fix this, you simply lift off a fraction. In the Zed, if you enter too fast then the back end will overtake the front as that's where the power is coming from, assuming a steady or increasing throttle. My guess is that you braked/lifted as you entered the corner, and then got back on the power too early. This caused the rear end to light up, which the VDC quickly decided (rightly) was a bad idea and so cut power. Basically, and without sounding too patronising, you're going to have to learn how to drive! RWD isn't easy, especially if you've come straight from FWD. It does take time, and after a while yes, you will be able to go quicker with VDC off as you actually want the car to be in a neutral four wheel slide as you enter a corner, but if you're still finding the VDC kicking in unexpectedly then I'd be leaving it on for now. That said, in your specific case check the basics. What tyres & sizes do you have on? Pressures? Tread remaining? What geo are you running? Got the spare wheel still in? It might well be something fixable rather than your own skill.
  14. Radio by Robbie Williams, and more interestingly Ubuntu was first released in October 2004.
  15. CTR is playing on past glories, the FRS is a genuine leap forward for modern hatches. You totally need one of those over the Honda

    I love cats more than I like most people. I can't see that changing just because said human happens to have the same genes as me.
  17. Nothing more than something a college student whipped up in a lunch break, don't get excited about it,
