  1. That's actually a cracking idea, I really like that!
  2. I once got paid to sleep. True story, best job I ever had.
  3. Exactly my point. Just leave the damn thing off if they're not bothered.
  4. Please let me never be in a situation where you want a favour from me... I'm now e-stroking yours, via the power of the internet
  5. My only concern. At this point though, as long as I keep on top of the correspondence then it'll just end up in court, where my documented evidence to prove I tried to confirm with them why I owe the bill will have it ruled in my favour But yeah, ultimately I would blink first and pay up if I thought there was a risk to my flawless credit history. I'd pay first, then fight like a bastard.
  6. Yeah, you guys are pretty much my inspiration for wanting to do a group theme thing, as yours always look ace
  7. Heh, I remember it well matey
  8. Thank you for the kind words, folks. Credit should go as much to Grundy as me, for he makes the pages look more than just a wall of text and that's something I could never do, I've not got an artistic bone in my body!
  9. Sorry, but that made me laugh Trouble with the sponsor ones is the Gallardo, as it's a very long door and very little space to add anything else before or after. Same with the Elise, really.
  10. Go on, what are you thinking?
  11. Guys, I'm after inspiration here. Bunch of us going down to LM this year, and as usual we want to sticker the cars up. Previously there's only ever been two or three max so we've done individual stickering, but this year we want to do a theme. Trouble is, we've no idea what! First off, the cars: Silver 645 coupé Grey 645 cab White Gallardo Spider Black Blobeye Impreza STi Dark red Elise 111R Now, the constraints: Cheaper, the better! Maybe £100 each, perhaps £150 tops. Everything will be applied by us, so nothing too complex. Absolutely nothing offensive. Funny at first, but I'm not p*ssing off our French hosts. Which is a shame, because the car nationalities would make for some great WW2 decals... One guy is a bit unexciting, so whereas I'd be happy to go down as the Spice Girls in full get-up, he would be less convinced. If any one can come up with something reasonable and brilliant that fits the criteria, then we'll do it. Scouts honour.
  12. Well, I don't expect it to be resolved in the initial 30 day grace period I've been given by a long shot.
  13. You're absolutely right, it looks really nice... until someone goes and opens those ridiculous doors. Hah, great minds! :lol:
  14. I love every bit of that car, except for the stupid doors.
  15. I got an email through this morning telling me that BT had sold my debt of £66 onto a collection agency as I'd not paid it for ages. This was the first I'd heard of it, so I started digging a bit. First stop: The debt collectors. Spoke to a very nice Scottish lady and said that I was disputing the debt, so please check back with BT before proceeding. Now, this is where it gets interesting... I've got both a personal account with BT for the home, and I'm the nominated contact for the work phone as well so I thought it best to figure out which one this debt related to. I went through five addresses before we found which one, and it turns out that it's my personal one that relates to my old house. That's a bit odd, since I moved out of there a year ago! After more digging with them, they said the account relates to the period between 9-7-08 and 23-9-15. The earlier date could well be when I switched back to BT, but the latter date? I'd been out of the house for nine months by then! So I called BT. I gave them my details, they found my current account (which is up to date), but could they find the other one? Nope, no chance. The woman I spoke to was very helpful, and she was as puzzled as me as she said that although she wouldn't be able to do anything with my account now BT had sold it on, she should at least be able to see the details of it. But no, it simply didn't exist on the regular BT system. She could see it on a different system that the account number was correct, but nothing else at all. She gave me another number for BT Credit Control, but they couldn't see it either. Now, can you guess where this is heading? Yup, I think we can all see the future on this one. Debt collector goes back to massive corporation. "Our client disputes the bill", "We can't find that number. You need a different department.". "Hey new department, our client disputes the bill!", "Don't care, not our department, go bother someone else". "Hey newer department, our client..." etc and so forth, until the debt collector boss man says sod it, go chase him and take him to court anyway, he'll cough up as it's only £60. No. No I won't. It's only £66, but I refuse to quit. This should be fun!
  16. I remember when I did a 911 the other year round a mate's house, I started in the morning first thing and the damn snow foam froze to the car! I had to get a warm water hose out to rinse it off. Lesson learnt there!
  17. They won't like it full stop! How do you think it's going to look when you get pulled over after they've already spotted you running without a plate, only to discover it's magically back and you've got a remote button to hide it from the speed cameras? Best case they're going to make you remove it and report back, worst case they're going to hammer you for perverting the course of justice. Seriously, the best option if you don't like a front plate is just to not run one at all. At least then you can say it fell off and you didn't know about it, which is at least believable. It's also weight saving, so you'll go faster!
  18. You wouldn't tell them: If they don't find the car then they'll never know, and if they find the car then they give it back to you and it's not an issue.
  19. Good post, nice one bud Looking at the values though, just look at the tolerances between the settings: At the ends of those, you'd have a car that handled completely differently. For the performance model, you'd have though Nissan would've tightened those up.
  20. Light snow that doesn't settle, not really. Even if it's leaving a light dusting by the side of the road, it's really not much different to driving in rain. It's when it settles, or when it freezes and you get ice that you'll start to have real issues.
