  1. I don't believe for one second that the doctor ran through the five questions and then said "Yup, he's good to go!". Years of medical training plus a healthy desire to keep his licence would've meant that he would've assessed the patient properly before making a decision. I think to assume he only did the five questions thing does the doctor a grave disservice.
  2. It's not the Unions themselves though, it's the namby-pamby do-gooders looking to justify their existence. Again, I ask them why they would know any better than Loris and the doctor on the scene at the time of the incident.
  3. Forgive me, but is this not bloody obvious when you look at it? There's nothing hidden, nothing to catch you out, you can see the bracketry and bolts without any fuss. I really, really cannot see how any one would need a guide for this. Especially not if you haven't even attempted it yet.
  4. Also, I've never ever used the word 'folly' in its correct usage on an internet forum before. Huzzah for me!
  5. I can see both sides on this one tbh. Dropping a profile will make no difference to the car in terms of maintenance, on the caveat that your particular car is okay with it regarding TCS. Speedo & mileage will be affected, but not by anywhere near as much as I would consider worthy of note. To ignore that completely though would be folly. Many people run 19" and even 20" wheels. These do not run stock tyre sizes and are again fractions out over the rolling radius, but will cause no further issues. I would rather run 40 profile MPSS than 45 profile 040s. One may be the correct OEM tyre choice, but that doesn't make it the best choice. Tyre choice should be made on many parameters, but sticking rigidly with the OEM size is not one I would consider to be paramount*. *Not forgetting the TCS caveat, of course.
  6. Nice, but used AMV8 over that for me. Wheels on the red one are vile!
  7. I remember that car from previous PHSS, it's utterly stunning. He gets massive Man Points.
  8. Trust me, they will. I reckon you'll end up around the low 500s, if not the 400s by the time Sunday comes.
  9. Yup, no.79 on the list Shame they're not doing the drift challenge this time, I was looking forward to claiming top spot after coming second last time

    Opinion

    You lot did better figuring out the OP's post than I did. Even Google Translate couldn't figure it out.
  11. Exactly. Well said, Rich.
  12. Reminds me, Tesco have already taken card payments for the PS4 if anyone preordered with them too. I wonder if the distributor of these consoles is trying to get their money in quick? Or maybe they're all trying to get rid of the ones who have bought loads to shift on eBay?
  13. They're all as bad as each other. By which I mean that any of the ones I've ever used have been fine, and I've never had an issue with either EON or currently EDF. I'll never go DD to save £5 a year because I'd rather have the money in my account than theirs, but other than that I just choose the people with the cheapest tariff and away I go. Everyone says that BT, Sky, TalkTalk, Tesco, Ford etc are all shite as well, but then if you have a lot of customers you're going to get the vocal minority rise to the top. Actually, scratch that. TalkTalk areawful.
  14. What's the point of having experts if you don't listen to them? Loris said he was fine. The doctor said he was fine. Both of them know the situation far better than AVB or anyone else in the world ever.
  15. That's retarded. Not a problem for me as I'm happy to do so anyway, but that's still retarded.
  16. Interesting, I'll keep an eye out for an email. Did he pre-order on-line or in-store? I buy all my important stuff in-store now, just to be 100% sure I've got it.
  17. I had to google 'rocketbunny' to work out what the bloody hell you guys were on about! Surely sticking to the traditional 'ducktail' would be both easier and far more accurate? At least, I assume that's what you're talking about. Rocketbunny, FFS.
  18. Heh, I like ol' Bernie
  19. Or a boot.
  20. Sounds like you'd be better off with an open filter that sits where the Popcharger does, but has a small airbox to cover it. There is one out there, but the name escapes me right now. Might even be the Typhoon, come to think of it.
  21. Correct though. As such, I salute you sir!
  22. HBTY HBTY HBDN HBTY
  23. Same reason you'd call a particular type of kit from K&N a Typhoon. It's a brand name, nothing more. They're more common simply because they're cheaper. I loved mine, but no doubt it robbed me of a couple of horses.
  24. I wouldn't. Based upon what you say, wear is as critical as anything. You say the LHS is worn more than the RHS, so putting a tyre that's quite worn on with a tyre that's brand new is asking for trouble. No different to running mismatched tyres across an axle in terms of unbalancing the car, and you wouldn't do that.
  25. i dont know about chavs your area, but most places chavs dont tend to have ferraris To be a chav is a mindset, not a financial thing. Look at Michael Carroll, for example It looks cheap and nasty. Bolt-on wings should only ever be seen on race cars, they look unfinished on road cars.
