  1. 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.
  2. 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!
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  9. Yeah, I think we're good for now.
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  13. Germany, probably.
  14. A lot of people think that they can just run anything through a filter on PS or instagram and hey presto, one fabulous shot! Er, no. It doesn't work like that.

    FWD scrabble wagon, no ta. Not really big enough, either.
  16. This is the thing: It may look simple, and if you know your way around it is, but trying to choose the right PSU can be a PITA. Last time I bought one it was a 80 Plus Gold 500w which should've been more than enough, but it was a bag of crap (£60 worth of crap, mind) and I then ended up buying an £80 750w one which eventually worked. Still going, in fact, it's for my NAS. So many connectors, and trying to make sure it fitted, and getting it in correctly... Ball ache. EDIT: Still, doesn't matter now as it's fixed, nice one!

    I just want to buy another car Was kinda thinking we could flog the Mini then Jo could have this, and I could use it at weekends. I like the idea of a Q car, give it a remap and some sorted suspension and I reckon it could be quite a laugh. I have the truck still for the uber dull stuff, I was kinda trying to think of the most fun but still relatively frugal petrol practical car I could: I cannot think of anything other than the E61 335i. I'd love a Macan, but not at current prices and they're a long way from dropping. Cayenne is too big, Audi RSeses too pricey, and then I run out of ideas.

    Couldn't have a diesel for any kind of fun car, sorry bud On the occasion that I was out in it by myself, I'd want to make use of a good engine and a decent chassis. In a fantasy world I'd have a V10 M5 estate, but that's looking increasingly less likely Meh, just looking around and was quite surprised by just how affordable and awesome the E91 cars are. Manual 'box too! Would still rather have a Zed next though

    Diesel, no ta! Not in this lifetime, anyway. If I'm picking a car for purely practical reasons then I'd get a much cheaper Mondeo diesel or summat. The BMW would at least be good to drive.

    It is, and that's kinda what I like about it! I have the loud shouty car, I'd quite like a subtle barge that I can chuck stuff in & kids eventually. Probably separate the two, though.
  21. Lol great minds!
  22. It's a Holden, and more power than an M5. What's not to like?

    It's an estate, and not a V8, so definitely an old man car
  24. ...because I think I really want this Practical, quick enough, subtle, manual 'box, respectable fuel economy, what's not to like?
