    Yup, I prefer to wave though as it's less distracting for other road users.
  2. His loss. Might be worth contacting the DVLA to get it changed over. Sometimes they can be quite helpful, I had no issues getting the MX5 re-registered as a Eunos, for example.
  3. Did you see pics of them before you bought them? Did you ask about condition at all?
  4. Because 'better' is subjective. They don't look as good to my eyes as you end up with a larger gap between rubber and arch, but you do get a better choice of rubber so if your TCS can stand it, then I'd definitely switch as well.
  5. And how do you know which compounds are alike? Track day stuff like the 888 and 048s are easy as they tell you, but road tyres? None do, to my knowledge. As I believe I said in the original post, in the dry you're unlikely to notice the difference, but in the wet you really could. Which would seem to be backed up by your comment about the tread pattern, so thanks
  6. 370 isn't remotely comparable to an S2K, not really.
  7. Alpine, then Pioneer, then anything else as I must be getting desperate.

    Budget? In terms of purely how many miles you will get out of a set per pound, and ignoring the fact that they also happen to be the best road tyre available today, you will not do better than the MPSS. They may cost you 20% more, but they'll give you 50% more miles. That said, if you really can't afford them then you could do worse than the FK453.
  9. Maybe this doesn't go into the same slot as all the other ones do then. Handy piece of kit. So how does the Bose control the iDevice then? Do you get full access to playlists and the like, or just everything?
  10. I've never seen one of these work, as the socket that it plugs into is missing on UK Bose units.
  11. Get the S2K. I was exactly the same before I bought the 911, I wasn't remotely bored of the Zed but I just fancied a change. As has been said above, you can always come back.
  12. GLOL :lol:
  13. Legs?
  14. "Marriage: For when you've realised you probably won't find someone better, and you've had enough of sex" Congrats to you both!
  15. Ouch. That really, really didn't look good. However, I now want to go watch an Indycar race. Looking at how relatively basic the vehicles are (although I'm sure they're not, they just don't look as fiddly as F1 IYSWIM) and how close you can get to the action, that looks exactly like my kind of motor racing.
  16. You should get a full alignment every 12mths at the latest, more often if you drive on bad roads. Leave the spacers on, and take the car somewhere that can do a specific geo to how you want the car to handle. For me, it's not enough just to have the wheels back within the Nissan specs as they're pretty broad and not set up to maximise the car, so I'd want something a little more livelier. Even a generic 'fast road' setting would be better.
  17. This. That's your issue, right there.
  18. I bet he p*sses in Seb's water bottle though
  19. Recipe you say... Okay, so you'll need: 1kg mince 1 huge bread loaf thing 10 rashers of streaky bacon 2 onions(one for the burger, one for the sauce) 2 tomatoes 1 lettuce 1 egg Bunch of gherkins Plastic cheese Some plain flour For the sauce: French dressing White vinegar Mayo Pickle (preferably the smooth stuff else you need a blender) Salt Sugar First, make the sauce. Grate one onion, add 200g mayo, 4 tbsp pickle, 4 tbsp dressing, 1tsp vinegar, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp sugar. Mix the lot then cover and refrigerate for a few hours. Longer, the better, overnight would be ideal. Next, the roll. Just slice it into three, no butter needed. Now you can work out how big you need to make the burgers! Grab the mince and chuck it into a big mixing bowl, add one egg and seasoning to taste. Mix it with your hands (protip: remove rings first, I didn't but regretted it) and divide into two equal portions and flatten. Flour both sides to stop them falling apart then pop into a frying pan on a medium to low heat. They take about 15 - 20 mins to cook properly. Do not eat red mince! To flip the burgers, slide a plate on top then lift with a spatula, then turn the plate and slide the meat back in. You'll prob want to drain the fat a couple of times, maybe more if your meat isn't great quality. Pop the bacon in the grill and get that going, then start layering. Start with lettuce on the very lowest slice, followed by the plastic cheese, then slap on the sauce. Cover the cheese well, then add a diced onion. On the upper layer place more lettuce, then the gherkins, tomato and then finally the bacon when it's done. Now it's just a case of popping the burgers in when done, and making the tower up. Grab a pic of your epicness, then tuck in!
  20. Nowt more than a bit of seasoning, was toying with the idea of a splash of Worcester sauce or an oxo cube or two, but didn't want to overpower the sauce. In retrospect I should've done as the meat was a little bland otherwise, but it's a lesson I can learn for next time
  21. It was, yeah. Took me a while to find something in the cupboard suitable, I don't keep a lot of tinned stuff around these days, far too healthy for that. Although I guess the burger would tend to disprove that a bit.
  22. I upgraded my RAC membership to EU coverage when I went to Spa earlier this year. Seemed as good as anything else, really.
  23. You're kidding, shared between me and Jo and even then it was a struggle. Old fat Dan probably could've given it a go by himself though
  24. We were going to use the tiger loaf, but then Jo went to Ipswich and found the perfect round loaf so I switched them out last minute. Good eye sir
