  1. Oh come on, tedious at best. You know damn well it was Tarmac you were trying to refer to, as it was very obvious. If it genuinely wasn't, then send me a PM with who you were referring to and I'll post up a full and public apology here. No complaints if I've got the wrong end, but given the history between Adrian and Chris plus the paving road comment, I thought it was very obvious.
  2. Come on Dave, I thought more of you than that. You might as well just accuse Tarmac up front, rather than a sly dig from the side. Regardless of who it is, I'd like to hear the story from the other side, I really would. Not saying that Easty is making anything up (why would he?), I'd just love to hear how the conversation went.
  3. So just to be clear, as the original post isn't, is this what happened: You organised a GB with Goodridge directly (or someone else) A Trader on here gets wind of this, then moans to Goodridge about it because they feel they're losing sales Goodridge then starts getting itchy feet as his customers (i.e. the Trader in question) is getting the hump Correct?
  4. It's better looking too, but the view over the nose is horrendous and it's so bloody hard to place the nose. Doesn't handle anywhere near as good either, but for a general cruiser road car I think I'd probably look at the 35i too.
  5. Think I'm 35% now, only about 1M cash (but I spend a lot on upgrades), Heroism looks similar to your numbers and Espionage level I have no idea. Now I've figured out that when you set the game to auto-manage your men it can ditch the specialist guys you get from the Side Ops, I'm through with this. No more playing for me, I'm now waiting for Fallout 4. I'd only just unlocked the FOB stuff too, which appears to be an absolute crock.
  6. Lies!! On both points. To the OP; need? No. Your wheels will work perfectly well without spacers. Yeah, looks like I turned out to be right again. Y'know, like always
  7. No, that was my exact point all along. I'd even said it twice already in this thread!
  8. One of the all-time classic BMW engines vs a generic Jap V6 that's always been a bit wheezy. Perfectly proportioned breadvan vs aggressive coupe that looks better in stock form than the Nismo. Genuine sports coupe vs sporty grand tourer (that's not a dig, look at what I drive!). Bland but quality interior vs whizzy messy mix of analogue & digital. One where values can only go one way vs one where values are still dropping slowly. Handling I can't really comment on as I've never driven a proper Z4MC only the ragtop, but assuming it's vaguely similar then it's not even close: The BMW has a delicacy and a balance that the 370 will never have. Between the two, I couldn't pick the 370 unless you're one of those bonkers people that just *has* to have a Jap car. Z4MC is worth it for the engine alone.
  9. I don't buy the whole 'driving down the price' argument, I've never seen anyone do that on here. What I have seen is a bunch of enthusiasts who live in the real world, and accept their cars aren't worth a billionty pounds forever. It's a very rare thing to find in owners' clubs, and it's very refreshing to see. It's a good thing!
  10. 18"s, no question. It's night and day when you move from heavy wheels to light ones, plus tyres are considerably cheaper too!
  11. No. But everyone will say yes, so I'm probably wrong.
  12. Tin foil hat with that, sir? They might ask a couple of neighbours to see if the car is actually kept at the address, but otherwise it's not even an issue as long as you're telling the truth. So do you actually, honestly think that they won't pay out if the car is stolen from any other address other than the registered one?! I mean, you don't and you're only trolling me, right?
  13. Meant to post some pics in this thread over the weekend, totally forgot! Posting here now so I don't forget again. But yeah, I've got a bunch of guitars, a couple of basses, and an electric drum kit in the man cave. Nothing super expensive or fancy, but enough to keep me occupied.
  14. Again, if prices are realistic then those comments don't get posted. In the case of Camy's thread, the prices weren't realistic so everyone told Camy that. The prices were then changed to something that was much more realistic, which means that both cars for sale are now bang-on the money. Camy comes out of it having a 100% better chance of selling the cars, so everyone's a winner. It's not just cars: Parts, random items, everything benefits from having sensible prices. If I turn around and manage to sell half an apple for £100 just because I manage to find the one gullible idiot who has no idea what half an apple is worth, that doesn't make it a good thing for the apple owning community. It just means that someone else is going to tell him that he paid well over the odds, and that guy will resent not being told the truth in the first place.
  15. Two places I've used and would recommend: Sollis Panelcraft, Harlow - They did my brother's Temper Zed repairs and it was a prefect colour match. Very professional, but friendly too. Make sure you go to Harlow not Chelmsford though, as the Chelmsford branch is gash. Kraftwork Vehicle Refinishing, Chelmsford - Dav is a friend of ours, he carried out a front end respray on the Impreza that was flawless. He also quoted me an incredibly fair price on a front end spray for the 911, which I'd have taken had I kept it. He primarily works on Ferraris, Porkers, Astons etc, so high end stuff. Lovely guy, always very busy, but he'll be doing anything I ever need painting from now on.
  16. Still here! Currently sat in the garage waiting for me to repair a sheared manifold to turbo stud, but once I've done that it'll be going up for sale, along with a billionty bunch of spares I've got sitting here for it. I love it, but I need the cash for other projects so sadly it'll be going shortly.
  17. It's like you read my mind I was always happy with the chrome when the car was fully silver, but now the roof is black I'll definitely be changing the kidney grill ASAP. The stuff round the windows will also get done, but I'll try and source that second hand rather than pay new prices or wrap/paint it.
  18. Truth is that a decent item at a sensible price attracts nothing but positive comments on here. It's a great community that looks out for each other, and I'd hate to see that ever change.
  19. They're all made up and in my head, but sure, plenty of them!
