  1. That's exactly how I had mine, same model TT too.
  2. Tyres or brakes? I think you'll find it's the brakes, and this could indicate a sticky caliper. Tyres always feel warm after use, but check the treadwear on them. If it's fine, then don't worry about it. If one looks a bit worn on one edge then you need an alignment.
  3. Someone must be giving away an OEM backbox, surely?
  4. Great car, but boring colour and it's a barge. I'd quite like one I must admit, but it would have to be in red and with something that handled alongside.
  5. Did she not get another t-shirt too?
  6. So the council/property developers should find out the name of every person who is ever going to live down the street, and ask them if they ever intend on owning X amount of cars and where they intend to park them?! Get real. It's people being short-sighted and selfish and expecting that because they live there, they can do whatever they want. Newsflash: No, you can't. You have to have some common sense like the rest of us, and if there's no room to park then go park somewhere else. The kerb/path is for people, not for vehicles. It's also not for cyclists either, but that's a whole different rant... Colin has said it perfectly.
  7. Galaxy Tab is an utter piece of shite. Yes, it looks pretty, but with input lag you can measure in months and the stunning ability to crash randomly whenever it feels like it or (and this is great) leave you with a keyboard that doesn't actually type anything, it's not that useful. Flash is dead, Adobe themselves have said this, HTML5 all the way now. I binned my Tab about a month after buying it and bought an iPad again, best thing I ever did. Until Android stuff alters the way it processes inputs to remove the lag (I.e. never), I will never consider one. Sensitivity is everything on touchscreen devices. No help I know as you specifically don't want an iPad, I just felt like a good rant
  8. We get what you mean, but just because everyone does it doesn't make it right. If there is not enough space to park on the road without blocking traffic, then there is not enough room to park. People should've thought about that before buying a house down there.
  9. Hi! Sorry for your loss, great to see you're going to be in Wales with the car though.
  10. ESR K1s were a perfect fit, Japspeed stuff is utterly awful and I wouldn't be giving them a single penny of my money.
  11. If you need to park on the pavement to allow space for other cars to pass, then you shouldn't be parking there.
  12. No different than it is now, they still only have a certain amount of fuel and have to manage it throughout the race by turning down the mixture or using less revs.
  13. In theory, you could pick up a front end damaged C2S and an IMS-taken Boxster for peanuts, and then what bits you sell would probably finance the swap
  14. No, you have lookey-likey Ugg boots which is worse!
  15. To be fair, it could've been more careless than vindictive. It happens sometimes, and given that the workmen at least tried to clean it off means they did care about what they did. I'm not saying it's right, and I'd be peeved too, but sometimes people can be thoughtless or under a great deal of pressure to get jobs done.
  16. You can get them, I know of at least two decent conversions in the UK...
  17. Never heard of the input shaft failing on 987s, I assume it's the same with the 997.1 cars too and the 996s as they share the same engine and 'box. I'll have to look into this, thanks for the heads up.
  18. Indeed, why did we have to grow up and stop spunking horrendous amounts of money on modifying cars?
  19. Experience and a lot of reading. A hell of a lot of reading.
  20. It's a marketing thing. People assume that stiffer must equal sportier and better, when all it actually means is that you shake your fillings out and the car skips round corners when it touches a pebble. Alas, the general public are for the most part morons, and will fall for it.
  21. Just been pointed at this link, excellent timing: http://www.arcfn.com/2012/10/a-dozen-usb-chargers-in-lab-apple-is.html?m=1 That would nicely demonstrate the difference.
