  1. Awww man, I used to have one of those! I'd completely forgotten about it until now!
  2. Docs got it bang-on. We might give £100M away to a country in aid, but then they grease the wheels with their big companies who then make sure we get £1000M worth of contracts.
  3. Oversteer city! Probably just put the wheels on the wrong way, although that doesn't excuse that nor fitting the wrong sizes. Go back (carefully!) and get them to change them.
  4. Will, do you realise that you do this with almost every single one of your threads? It's either very vague, or ends with ellipsis and multiple exclamation marks. Almost every single thread you start is like that, I can't be the only one who noticed it. Granted most of them are videos or links or whatever. I like the OPs rant, and he's got an excellent point. There's no harm in doing it occasionally for effect, or where it's off-topic anyway so the title is a bit irrelevant, but for anyone actually asking for help then a clear, concise title should be mandatory.
  5. If you brake test a RRS, you'd better be driving a tank. Mob mentality took over there, and they got exactly what they deserved. Yes, the driver should've called the police earlier perhaps, but I'd have done exactly the same thing in his shoes: Hit the loud pedal and get the flock out of there.
  6. Correct, but the usual caveat about mixing tyres applies. PS1 and PS2 tyres are very different tread patterns, a quick google search will let you know which ones you have on right now. They do both just say Pilot Sport on the side though, irritatingly enough.
  7. Is it the right oil? No. Is it going to make your engine collapse? No. Long term it won't do it any favours and you'll be losing power, but it's better than no oil at all. I'd replace it sooner rather than later and I wouldn't go tracking it, but to use it normally won't hurt too much.
  8. I hadn't even noticed that! Good eye, sir!
  9. R8 would be a good shout. 997 dials are awful though, who the hell voted for those!
  10. Meh, I couldn't care less if people disagree with what I say, that's up to them and each to their own and all that. It's when people disagree without offering a single reasoned response that does my nut in, but then I always have trouble communicating with the terminally stupid. I just don't have the patience for them. I'm not sure why me asking for help on my Euro trip on PH, then doing it, then sharing my experience based upon knowledge I now have is a bad thing though. Is that not what we as decent human beings do, offer our experiences with others to help them learn more? If that makes me a bad person then so be it. Same goes with tyres, or chassis tuning, or gaming, or eating mass amounts of greasy take-outs: If I'm interested in it and happen to have learnt a few things along the way, then why wouldn't I share that with others? Sure, you can disapprove of my tone sometimes as I know I can come across a little high-and-mighty in places, but I can promise you that if you look at where and when I do it you'll see that either the OP was irritating, rude, stupid, or a combination. I have NEVER been outright brash to someone who was polite. Ever. Go check if you like. Hell, even my first response on this thread was measured and reasoned, until someone came along and queried it without offering anything approaching a sensible comment.
  11. Bet that'll cost a pretty penny.
  12. All of which are good reasons we, as trackday goers, should be making every effort to reduce the noise from our cars when we go. Don't put an exhaust on which is close to the limit, just put the stock one on or add extra silencers: No point being the loudest or best-sounding on track if you're not going to win anything. Don't give the Nimby's any ammo.
  13. Stop modding then. You don't have to, it's not addictive like a crack habit, it's just you want shiny pretty things which you can't afford. Stop it, it's that simple.
  14. Actually, I've no idea what my ancestors did, as not only was I not there but I'm also adopted. True story, kids.
  15. Lol, chill out bean sprout! Nazis had the right idea, just the wrong group of people.
  16. Mine's the opposite, she picks the cheap stuff. When she's paying.
  17. Yup, common sense. There will of course be a black market in vouchers, but I still say it's a better idea than cash.
  18. It's a good idea, though. The slaughterhouse gun, not the dole idea thing.
  19. Well obviously there could be exceptions, as you had things sorted until it went belly-up, I'm talking more about those on minimum wages or on benefits who have kids and clearly cannot afford them. Can you adopt if you're living on benefits? Not you personally, it's a more general question. If you can't, then that would seem to indicate that the state agrees with me.
  20. Really, I'd rather see child support money pulled than this. If you can't afford to have kids, then don't have them in the first place.
  21. It pushes, but don't over do it.
  22. It's just a tax. They'll get it one way or they'll get it another.
  23. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-24327470 Slightly better link. Common bloody sense, really. No worky = no benefits.
  24. Hookers appear at night in the run down locations, so think the hood and industrial estates on the edge of town.
  25. I don't kill my hookers. I have a favourite who I go back to every day for some sneakytimes.
