  1. Private sector was hit first and hardest. We just recovered quicker.
  2. No vote, no right to complain. What I think people don't realise is that whoever got in last time HAD to make cuts: There was literally no other choice. Putting aside any bias I have, even I have to admit that we probably wouldn't be any worse off now if Labour had stayed in power last term. It was going to be sh*t regardless, but tbh it's been less sh*t than I thought it might be. Bearing in mind my wife is a teacher, so I've seen first hand the issues the public sector as well as the view from a small business owner, I think that they've done a pretty good job. What I will say is that there are no longer any excuses: They wanted a 10 year term, they've now got it, so if things aren't rosy the other side then I'll be the first to shout them down.
  3. Credit card will count for nothing, he's not a trader. Your 'protection' is PayPal only.
  4. Always take the fun car. Always. And always sticker it up, too! Traffic will be murder on Fri, Sat and Sun around the circuit, but otherwise it's not too bad. When are you getting there?
  5. I'm very happy to be proved wrong Shame that Farage and Clegg have gone, politics will be poorer without them.
  6. Had to laugh at Miliband losing his Balls, must be painful for him I voted against PR when we had the referendum, but even I have to admit it's looking a bit silly now we have so many parties in the mix.
  7. He should've gone 24 months ago...
  8. It's a very heavy 4WD car, so it's going to be hard on brakes and tyres regardless. Expect to pay around £800 for tyres per year, budget £1K for servicing (don't forget early cars needed 2x services a year IIRC), fuel usage is going to be higher than what you're paying now, and mods of course have the GT-R tax on them. Have a look at what gearbox work costs as well, just in case that goes wrong as that's going to be the biggest risk for you in terms of unknowns. Maybe £2k? That's not to say the C63 will be much better, though!
  9. Well, that's not what I expected to wake up to this morning. Where on earth did a possible Tory majority come from?!
  10. What colour is that? And no-one say green!
  11. Perfect. Well, I need to play with the FF settings a bit as I'd like a bit more resistance, but aside from that I've gelled very, very quickly. No way in hell I'd be quicker with a pad on this!
  12. Yeah, they're rubbish without a flag on
  13. Thrustmaster TX with TH8A shifter and T3PA pedals, with the Ferrari GTE wheel. It's a beautiful setup, albeit a pricey one. So worth it though.
  14. BWAHAHAHAHAHA PROJECT CARS IS BRILLIANT!!! :D :D Got the controls sorted now (triggers are on the pedals), so set the car up as I would have it in real life and it's just amazing. The practice/qualy/race format is mint, I absolutely love it! It's such a buzz when you underfill your car with fuel to try and make the pace up, then get it massively wrong and have to manage your fuel through the race. I'm starting my career in the Formula Rookie class, first race was at Oulton. The AI is a bit reckless during qualifying and tbh I could've done with cranking the difficulty up from 50 as I mullered them by 4.5 secs a lap. That's with just ABS and the racing line on, else I lock up everywhere and it's impossible to see the corners when the sun is in your eyes during an evening race. I tried Le Mans in a storm in the Ruf GT3, man that's just horrible to drive. We should totally set up a proper championship with this, it'll be perfect for it. I had a quick online race which was good fun, one knobhead smashed me off but the other guys waited which was decent of them. I'm sorry for ever doubting this, I really am.
  15. Cannot believe for one second those exit polls are correct, not in a million years.
  16. Dude, the start of that first video is brilliant! Man, I really enjoyed watching that, good work!
  17. Blimey, someone's on the blob today.
  18. I know
  19. Here's a reason to vote UKIP! I can put up with a bit of casual racism if I get to drive a Cossie without paying road tax.
  20. I'm much better at FM5 with a controller than I am with a wheel. Thing is, it's nowhere near as much fun so I'd rather turn the AI down and enjoy myself than have it up hard (fnar) and much around on a controller.
  21. FFS
  22. But not the Irish one.
  23. Evora or Cayman.
  24. The video game, it's not an actual project car! :lol: We're discussing it in the 'What game have you played lately' thread already.
  25. Link to those knives plz
