  1. Yeah, chuck it in there. I wouldn't expect a username pic with car sales tbh, but the Team may feel differently. You only need a handful of pics, too many will bore people.
  2. Well, unless they lied of course as then you'd have a case of misrepresentation, but good luck with that unless you've got it in writing.
  3. Caveat emptor. Does not apply to private sales, 100% sure on that.
  4. Kinda how I see it. It's like saying a GT-R isn't heavy, when it bloody well is but it's got a lot of firepower to make up for it. Or that Panda Pops aren't cheap if you couldn't afford a Coke, but they're still at the bottom end of the range.
  5. Didn't realise there were audio sync issues, but then I have my setup running as you describe so can set the delay exactly. I don't recall actually ever changing it mind, but then that's the same when I fire up Rockband too. You sound about the same level as me really, in that I can pretty much play any chord progression but have never been much of a soloist, which is why I wanted it as I thought it would help. It can to some extent I think, but there's times when it either throws far too much at you and it's hard to read what's on the screen. If it had the ability to adjust the speed on the fly using a controller then it would be perfect, so if RS14 has that then I might well give it a go. I tried it with my bass the other day, and it's really good for that, but that's probably because you're dealing with less info on the screen at once.
  6. Then yes, that's a great hot hatch if you can live with the looks. Go for it
  7. It's the best daily drive sports car released in the last few years, certainly. The level of feedback, balance and poise is remarkable. If my brother's one wasn't putrid green, I'd be tempted to have it off him once he's finished with it.
  8. I've got the original, and to be honest it was a massive disappointment. If you can already play the guitar to a level where you can strum pretty much anything if you're given the chords, then this will be hugely frustrating as there's no easy way of picking a section and setting the difficulty and tempo. It's all done on how the game thinks you're doing and whether it thinks you've hit the notes or not. I'd say it's about 95% accurate, but sometimes I knew I'd nailed a section but it would say no! or I'd fluff a note and it would let me past. If, and it's a big if, RS14 now has that option, then it'd be worth a buy. If not, I'd leave it. And all that said, if you've ever picked up a guitar in your life I reckon it's an excellent teacher for the absolute beginner, as it explains everything clearly and builds you up slowly. I'm no maestro on the axe, but even I found it too basic for my needs.
  9. Cheap and heavy are not opinions. Style is.
  10. I think they're a bit of a cheap and nasty brand, tbh. Heavy, not particularly well made, and their styles are questionable at best. Didn't stop me buying a set for my MR2, mind. As long as you know what you're getting, then it's your money and you can do as you please I reckon.
  11. Me too, but I've no idea where to get them from, nor do I fancy the ballache of fitting them!
  12. It's official: The stripes are uber-cool. How do I know? Well, it passed the Official Test Of Cool, that's how. What is that test I hear you cry? Well, it's when a young boy almost breaks his arm trying to yank his phone out of his pocket to take a photo of the car as I drove by Bless him, he looked so excited like he'd seen a Lambo or something actually interesting, but kids have the best taste in cars so I'll take that as a win.
  13. Buy it then, they're amazing cars.
  14. No idea. Possibly no aircon which would explain being cheap in Dubai, but I can't see a close up of the centre console to confirm.
  15. No such thing as having to offer a 3 month warranty, they just have to ensure the goods are of satisfactory quality. As a blowing y-pipe would fail an MOT then they have failed here, so have to carry out repairs.
  16. But yeah, I bet that was fun when you put the loud pedal down!
  17. How many miles on OEM suspension?
  18. Doesn't mean a lot, just who paid the most to get their tyres approved as an OEM option to make money down the line. Porsche approved P Zeroes, 050A and PS2 for the 9x7 cars, and there's no way in hell you'd get me to put P Zeroes on a sports car! Luckily Michelin appear to be playing the money game right now and are getting the MPSS put on everything decent, which is a Very Good Thing Indeed. As far order in terms of quality, or at least what I'd consider putting on a car, Graham's got it spot-on
  19. Yup I'm not keen on the AD08s, but that's only because you can get the MPSS or 050A for the same money and they're better IMHO. That said, the AD08 is definitely better than 040, 452 or VUS.
  20. One word: Taxes. Well, strictly speaking business taxes. They're still too high, and coupled with the VAT rate as well as having to shell out PAYE and NIC it's surprisingly expensive trying to run a business. Certainly if these were reduced we could afford to pay our guys better (not that they're underpaid for this sector by any margin), but the government won't do that this side of an election as it just plays into the hands of the Labour lot. They'll decry "THEY'RE CUTTING THE TAXES FROM THE WEALTHY!" quicker than Saville would look at a schoolie. It's all about the public perception, and unfortunately the public are too stupid to understand what needs to be done.
