I still hate Ferrari as a team, and as a brand, but I do like Seb. So yeah, I want him to do well but Ferrari to fail too I used to hate Alonso, I really did (go back a couple of seasons and watch me call him Alcocko in all F1 threads ), but his driving is just mesmerising. A bit like Lewis, although I started off liking Lewis the person and now I think he's a bit of a knob. If they could just make a driver with the skills of Hamilton and the personality of Ricciardo, I think I'd be in love

I just don't want anyone to get an F1 seat (especially a prime one like a Ferrari) when they clearly don't give two hoots about the sport. Kimi's a miserable git, and the dry stuff just isn't funny any more. Seb on the other hand, is quite a jolly and likeable fellow now, and I'd love to see him do well. I don't know why I dislike McLaren now. I used to love them when Lewis was there, but I think that's because I'm a Hamilton fan. They just seem to be a bit irritating lately, like they've got a god-given right to be there because of the history they have, and I'm also sick and tired of everyone getting so excited about Honda being back in the sport. Last time they were here they ditched an entire team on very short notice, and I'm glad it worked out terribly for them as they'd have had a CC to their name now if they'd stuck around. Honda can make decent engines, but they have zero experience in F1 for the last few years. Likewise McLaren haven't had a good car for a while now, so I have no idea why every one just expects them to win everything straight away. No-one on here is like that mind, it's elsewhere on the interweb that the fanboys are irritating me the most!

Oh, and I'd really like Ricciardo to carry on being awesome. If Lewis doesn't get the title, I want him to instead.

I want Hamilton to p*ss all over Rosberg, OR it to be a close fight but Rosberg acting like he did in the final race, and not like he did at Spa. I want the McLaren to be an utter turd. I want Alonso to out-drive Button in every single way. I want Seb to do the same to Kimi. I'd like Maldonado to leave the sport forever.

Great minds

BWAHAHAHAHA £350,000 HAHAHAHAHA Sorry, no.

Oh wonderful. That won't be a waste of time at all, will it?

Identical, as far as I can see. Did you order from DT or Opie? But yeah, no harm in mixing those whatsoever.

The DVLA tell you what you need, on both my link and Colin's! Bloody hell, even the post office link tells you exactly the same thing. The Co-Op link is wrong. The DVLA are correct.

That's the exact same thing! AskMID doesn't check your name either, it just checks the car. My car was not on the database, and no-ones is until they update it after about a week (for most insurers). That would make it impossible to buy VED under the new system. If the fact that the DVLA site itself doesn't convince you that you don't need insurance to tax your car though, nothing I can say will.

You don't. https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax You'll need: completed V11 reminder (or your V5C) MOT test certificate if required (must be valid when the tax starts) the payment shown on the reminder My insurance on the BMW wasn't shown on the MIB database until a week after, but I was able to do the VED the same day I bought the insurance and the car.

I had an advisory for passenger seat missing on the MR2

I can do naked if you'd like?

You don't need insurance to be able to tax a car, just an MOT.

And, of course, it has to be a low miles car...

He was on here today...

It does kinda make sense actually, especially with those companies that have more than one person running them so you now know exactly who's posting what. But yes, it does make sending folks their way a little more awkward. Probably better this way on the balance of awkwardness though, I think.

What was this car, and more importantly when the hell was it made?! Must've been a proper old car. As for your brake issue, take the wheels off and have a look. It'll be reasonably obvious which pads have material and which ones don't, and the ones that don't have probably eaten the discs too.

07 is for mobiles, 070 is for personal numbers. Biggest difference is that the latter can be accompanied by a call setup fee. http://consumers.ofcom.org.uk/files/2010/01/numbering.pdf

I did?! Lol, what a twit I now feel! No wonder I thought they were awesome!

I'd go with Phil's numbers, they're pretty decent although I'd personally run with a bit more toe out at the front (5deg either side), but that really is just my preference. That's a really solid base to work from to figure out what you're after, thanks for posting Phil What settings do you run your BCs at, Adab? I had a play with some on a Zed recently, I think I settled around 10 from hard on the front and 14 from hard on the rear, but that was for road use. I'll have to check on those numbers, but I think they were around there.

I just wanted to ruin their fun really. I'm distraught I missed such an opportunity

Heh, that's quite good

All we do know for sure is that the Porsche is fastest, since they're the only ones to reveal their Ring time

The weekend.
