    Really?! Oh my. Okay, that could actually be a goer then at some point.

    Nice, but no diesels.
  3. How was it? Would love to go there at some point.
  4. I've been married to my first wife for nearly three years (24th Dec). Ten years together next week though, and she's only 26: Bless her, she doesn't know there's anyone better than me out there!

    Oooooh they sound comfy
  6. No it's not, it's Tuesday. /very_old_joke
  7. It's absolutely fine, I just don't need the extra gear on a track car so might as well save the weight! Plus I think the gearbox has had a pretty hard life, so it's not going to hurt to swap a newer one in.
  8. For the record, I was totally against this. Worst. Idea. Ever. Good luck matey, and congrats!

    Standard will be fine.
  10. I'll try! I want to get a lot done over winter: I don't think I can live with the current Ogura racing clutch any more, so that's going to come out and a more sensible one put in with a new flywheel. I'll also get rid of the 6spd gearbox and put a lighter 5pd one in, maybe a JDM one if I can find it for the shorter ratios. Then I also need to wire the shift light I've bought in as well at some point...
  11. I think it's supposed to be "I came up with this really cool hook for the chorus but had no idea what to do with the rest of the song, so I thought I'd make a bit of cash by plugging the old line that it's okay to eat as many pies as you can and still be considered beautiful for the rest of the song to the gullible chunkers out there". Or something like that, anyway.
  12. Probably. I can't really see him competing at top level events as there's only so much training you can do without competition, so he's going to have to make his money somehow.

    RS4 estate would be nice, but they're too much for me I think. Would high 20's be optimistic for the MPG? Saying that, I like the look of the S6 on PH today, cheap as chips too!
  14. Probably nothing in it, I think I'm done for the year with track stuff though due to the house move Vids will be up soon, but I'm having some issues pulling them off the card as my reader seems to have died. Still got brake issues though, as in I have none! I checked a few things out on Sunday but I desperately need rear pads, which have turned up today so I'll get those fitted first before further diagnosing. MOT is now due as well, so it looks like she'll be off the road until I can get these brakes working properly.
  15. Out in 10mths. That seems a bit odd, but 5 years certainly seems about right. You'd get that for manslaughter over here, not sure why people were expecting more.
  16. True. However, a photo is only as good as the person taking it and I've seen many wonderful images captured on mobile devices that better some produced on very expensive DSLRs.

    Little bit heavy on fuel for the missus I think sadly, she was pushing the limit with the 22mpg she used to get on the Impreza

    Hey, that's not a bad shout, good call
  19. How do you know it's an extra one? He might just be up to the regulation two now. Or still missing one, for that matter.
  20. I was going to suggest AIDS, the bad kind too, but figured any doc worth his salt would've checked for that.

    Top man, just the kinda info I was after: I was hoping you were going to pop your head in
