If senior folks are unable to distinguish between genuine and fraud calls, then they are likely to have bigger issues. It also makes the assumption that old people are stupid, which I'm loathe to make. Some of these scams have been around for years, and they weren't all old people back then. I mean, obviously the people trying this are scum, but there's more than enough knowledge out there now to prevent these things happening. I'm not even convinced that it's old people in particular who are suffering, I think it's more the average Joe who is just a bit stupid. If you're stupid, then there's not a lot any one can do to help you.

I hate to say it, but it's getting to the point where I'm running out of sympathy for people who get caught by scams like these.

Not quite, they have Islam and hating infidels in common but that's about it. The Pakistani Taliban would actually quite like to legitimately rule a country, albeit under an iron fist, but ISIS just want to control an entire area under their rule rather than a country. It's a bit like different versions of Islam, just two very evil and dangerous ones.

It wasn't ISIS though, it was the Taliban. Still mind boggling how anyone could shoot that many kids, or even target them in the first place.

Perfect, cheers bud

Oh god no, we've been perfectly civil in comparison DBlock asked to get banned, I think. And thank God for that!

So who is Torqen on here, Ady or Taras? Is there not some rule we have about dual accounts? Not that I'm bothered, but it would be nice to know who has actually posted what. Even if they sign off their own name at the bottom of each post would be fine.

Nah, wait until the Xmas hols when the kids break up, it always kicks off then.

Nah, it's all good matey, no harm done at all. Well, except to my reputation I guess!

Was that because it was pre the new site? Perhaps Dan asked to become a member of the team again but they refused so he asked them to remove it. Nope and nope. Basically there were words exchanged between myself and another member and it was removed as part of my punishment. Water under the bridge now though, we're all friends and things move on

It's not Christmas yet.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Two things: 1. Why don't you do it? It's all public info. 2. In what way would any of that stop you getting mugged??!!

Just in Technical would've been fine, as it's not really to do with servicing specifically Can you replicate it every time at the same RPM? Hot or cold?

What brakes are you running on this fella?

Peace, bro.

Fight Club, anyone? I love that film. I always end up thinking that it would be so nice to just live with the basics rather than struggle every day just to acquire wealth to spend on things.

Don't hold back mate, say how you really feel about it.

Yeah, I've seen the same one. Trouble is I'm not convinced by 4K just yet, and if I'm getting a new TV I might as well get a bigger one. 60" isn't enough of a leap, so looking at 65" minimum.

Nah, you're a stunner sugarplum

I like the way it says 'RARE!' in title. Yes, it's rare, but that's because it's stupendously ugly.

Time for an upgrade then! Saw this in Costco last night, and I have to say I was tempted...

I'd buy a 350Z again, but I wouldn't buy an E46 M3. It's just not exciting enough for me, it doesn't feel special even with that engine. It is a fantastic all-rounder though, so if you had kids then it's ideal.

Driven one on road and track. Road was a coupe manual, track was an SMG ragtop. The interior looks dated, but is made of good quality stuff. I'd say it's an equal for a 350Z, rather than just better. The engine is a peach, loves to rev and makes a great noise. Needs a good intake though! M3 felt much heavier than the Zed, although I found it much easier to slide perversely. No idea why. Brakes are sh*t and need upgrading. Seriously, you'll kill them far too easily as stock. SMG 'box takes some getting used to, but I do quite like it. However, big bills when they go wrong as my mate with the ragtop has found out... It just feels a bit big to be a sports car, but if you're happy with the BMW now then that's not a problem. I wouldn't say it felt significantly better on the turn in than a Zed, if at all. 645s are also available in the manual, but that's proper barging!

We had a 1L Aygo and it was absolutely immense. Did everything it should, handled very well and sounded like half a V6: Great fun! Okay, more expensive cars that are rubbish: R57 Mini CS. How anyone can find a car that has that much torque steer when you brush the throttle remotely fun is beyond me. Seating position is a bit guff, steering wheel too fat, but it does make a vaguely interesting noise I guess.
