Or, and this is a crazy idea, you could try a Nissan dealer who usually carry spare parts for vehicles they sell But yeah,just go with Alex. He'll be cheaper.

That's fighting talk, that is!

Ah you know, you pop out for milk and eggs, come back with a roast chicken, box of wine and a turbo Mate is selling his custom kit that I know is superb quality, and he offered me first dibs on it at a price I couldn't really turn down. When done, should put me at around 300bhp/ton, which is a bit nippy.

Check monthly, at the very least. Looks normal to me, you've not checked in nine months!

They will all be like that. All cars are to some extent, because if they just applied thin paint everyone would moan about the stone chips (see any Elise for proof of how bad this can get!). Trust me, it's a good thing.

Just bought a turbo kit for this. Oops. Still haven't got the brakes fixed yet either!

Dylan Hartley got an eight week ban for biting an opponent. Luis Suarez got four months, so double that. I'm sure there's other biting offences worse than Hartley's, but that was the first link I could see. Biting seems to be a fairly common misdemeanour in rugby, so much so that they have specific punishments for it. Then there's eye gouging, the aforementioned punching, it's not always the gentleman's sport. Football could learn a lot from rugby with regards to the respect given to refs, but sometimes it's worth remembering that rugby players are not all angels.

See, that's pretty good. If you guys have iOS, grab My Net Diary and input what you eat into that. It'll tell you exactly what's in them, keep track of all your calories and let you know where you should be heading. Great little app, really helps to see why that odd Jaffa cake is a bad idea when you could just have an entire bag of the Sun Bites instead

Who is covering the breakdown service? What level of cover are you getting?

Accidents in 20mph zones have increased now that more 30s have become 20s, and accidents in 30s have now decreased because there less of them. Jesus, it doesn't take a genius to work out that there's obviously a few set roads that are having all the accidents, and that by moving their speed classification you're just moving the way the stats are reported. Utter garbage that does a massive disservice to those of us who are careful with our speed, regardless of what the sign says. Just remove all speed limits, all signage, put a camera outside every school and make dangerous driving an offence where the burden of proof on the driver is much higher. Make people take responsibility for their driving.

Then that, my friend, is classed as a win

Figures between different dynos on different days by different operators aren't comparable, so don't sweat it too much.

If you want an idea for diet, you could try what I do: Breakfast: Wholewheat cereal (I use Shreddies cos I don't like anything else) Lunch: Same as breakfast Dinner: Piece of meat (chicken breast in the George, or salmon in the steamer) with as much veg or salad as you can handle. Bit of dressing is fine, just grab a low-fat one. Do that during the week, usually quite easy because of work taking up the rest of the time. At the weekend, eat and drink what you like. That's when I'll grab a takeaway on Sat night, and a bottle of wine. Maybe a bag of crisps to eat during the F1. No-one ever got fat eating veg or salad, so just eat as much as you can, fill yourself up. I'm sure that nutritionally my diet could be better, but it works for me as that's pretty god damn healthy during the week, but it means I can still satisfy my cravings at the weekend so I never feel like I'm missing out. Add in an hour of cardio 3-5 times a week and I promise you the weight will drop off. Plus, ALL THE NOMS AT WEEKEND

If someone comes at me with a bat and wants my car keys, they can bloody well have them. That's why I'm insured, and I also quite like my bones in one piece.
-
Go on... It's not a failure, it's a blip. It's bloody hard to do what you're doing, so never get down on yourself and remember that anything you can do to be healthier is better than nothing

Same with everything really, once you get to the top.

Unlikely, if that got out there would be uproar, the negative PR isn't worth it. FWIW, I believe that most footballers are playing the game because they enjoy it, not for the cash or status. No different to F1 drivers, who are hardly angels if you believe the press: Bar fights, obsession with money, rudeness, whinging etc.
-
Which is why I watch top level stuff on the TV for the entertainment, but I support my local team and it's their matches I attend. For me, that's where the passion is.
-
Fair enough, if that's your viewpoint I'm unlikely to be able to change it. Like I said, there's a fair amount of bad, but there's also a lot of good that just doesn't get the publicity. Ronaldo with the cancer kid over the WC, for example.
-
Not really, it's just that the bad eggs get the most attention.
-
Another reason that I'm rapidly going off Barca as a club. They used to have morals.

You have less hair now though* *Only a guess, I didn't know you when you were 21

The length of the ban from the game is fine, I think that will get upheld. I think that they will be told that the total football ban is against his human/vampire rights, and that he will be allowed to train as usual.

ABP don't seem to have any expertise on the Zed from their website, they look more like CTR experts to me. That doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing, but be aware that just because somewhere has a Hunter machine it doesn't mean they're any good. It will help them get the numbers in the right place, but if you want a track setup then you DON'T want the numbers simply in the right place! You need to tell them how you want the car to handle, and what your priorities are. They will ask you the right questions hopefully to give them the info they need, and then they'll work an alignment out for you based on that. No good people giving you their numbers as everyone like their cars to handle differently: For example, I like mine with plenty of toe out at the front and not a lot of camber in the rear, which makes it very twitchy and easy to provoke but for most people that would feel very unstable and awkward to control. Most prefer a lot of camber on the rear and toe-in to give stability, but that feels horrible to me. Without knowing how you drive and how you want the car to feel, giving you a set of numbers is ultimately pointless. You need to have a lot of trust in the garage and make sure you go back if what they give you isn't right: I'd be amazed if they got it bang-on first time, very rarely can people do that and when they do you pay through the nose for it. I've done that once with Center Gravity and it cost me £300, was well worth it though. DMS were great with me when I had my Zed, we had a few issues and managed to get the exact setup I wanted after a good few attempts, and I appreciated their efforts more than if they'd just said "Oh yeah, that'll be fine" and sent me on my way. Take your time, tell them what you want and let us know the results.
