    0 - 60 mph..

    30-100 is much better. Removes any silliness about how much you want to break your drivetrain, and focuses purely on usable speeds. Big stuff can use 30-150 instead.
  2. That's 90% of the population, at least. I meet very, very few people with whom I can hold an intelligent debate about politics, or finance, or anything really. There's an awful lot of people who are just incredibly blinkered or naive about the wider world around them. This place has a surprisingly high signal to noise ratio, which is pleasing. There's a good few forums I frequent where it's utterly painful to try and find anyone with even half an ounce of common sense!
  3. No. No more so than England should be able to have a referendum to leave them behind and re-join the EU.
  4. Use Photobucket. You will want upgrades for the DE. It's a 2006 car, just registered on an 07 plate.
  5. TV streaming over wifi is not the issue really, it's more down to the quality of the stream. Right now all online content in both HD and 4K is of such a low bitrate that wifi has no issues streaming it whatsoever (signal strength allowing, of course). It's when you want to watch something in genuine full-bitrate HD with DTS-HD sound that you'll struggle. A wifi connection or even a 10/100 Ethernet connection simply doesn't have the bandwidth to carry the data, so you end up with buffering/stuttering problems. Granted, for most people who are happy to watch in stereo with a compressed image that's okay, but if you really want to make the most of the format (or may want to in the future) then you really will need gig Ethernet at the very least.
  6. The rays from the morning sun raise my spirits, but drinking rehs can erase my memory as I raze my waffle tower with gusto.
  7. Ah well, still a great car regardless, hopefully you didn't pay over the top for it.
  8. Rather see the advert. That way you can then tell who's at fault. If the book was specifically shown to the buyer before he paid for it, then it's equally as usable as evidence should the car not be a HR. Which it isn't. Just depends on when he first looked in the book... Or if the seller told him it was a HR, but knew it wasn't and wasn't daft enough to put it in an advert. Or what if the seller thought it actually was a HR, as he was the one duped on the previous sale?
  9. Okay, so how would things change if we left? You'd still have people making decisions for you, even if you didn't vote for them: It would just be on a national Government level as it always has been, rather than a Europe-wide scale. As Col has said, the country would be massively worse off financially, which will hit you directly in the pocket. Do you want to spend another few grand a year just to be independent, when nothing practical has changed? There would be EVEN MORE cutbacks, not less. No different to when Scotland wanted out, the financial cost alone would've been enormous. As long as you understand that's what will happen, then that's fine. I think it's madness, but if you understand the consequences of your decision then fair enough. My point isn't that your choice is wrong, my point is it's misinformed and you're actually going to end up with the opposite to what you're after.
  10. One intake, definitely DE. If it's a private sale and it was advertised as a HR he can sue for damages.
  11. Yup, you've got a late registered Revup, not a HR at all. Welcome to the land of 296 horses and 7000 revs, instead of 309 and 7500.
  12. What makes you think that? I can happily accept a justified reason for wanting to leave, I just may not agree with it. What I find odd is that a person who is clearly intelligent and has an interest in this matter isn't willing to give a single reason as to their decision. But hey, it's the internet and you're free to do as you wish.
  13. Not wanting to risk throwing an unstable economy down the river on the off chance that it might be better, with no guarantees or figures? That's not a valid reason to leave! How about if I said to you that if you give me all your money, it might be better for you in about 15 years? I won't tell you how I'm going to do it because I actually don't know myself, but it'll definitely be better than what you've got now. You'd think I was absolutely crazy and tell me to sling my hook, and you'd be right to do so. The pound already slumped yesterday on the news of the referendum and the possibly we might leave given the opinion polls and the power of Boris, exactly what happened when it looked like Scotland was going to leave the UK. That uncertainty is only going to get worse, and the markets will fall over again.
  14. Personally, I'd stick with OEM coil packs.
  15. And since we now have Special Status, that closer integration is no longer an issue.
  16. I don't see it is. It's no different to the millions of people who didn't vote for a Tory government. It's democracy, perhaps the reason that the EU regs went through is because we were being unrealistic and actually, every one else was right?
  17. Well, exactly. People always complain when a free and democratic vote doesn't go their way, but in truth it's the fairest and most correct way of going about things.
  18. Only a court can give you points or a ban.
  19. Should've said, I could've grabbed them and dropped them off for you!
