  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. Hi! Sorry for your loss, great to see you're going to be in Wales with the car though.
  4. ESR K1s were a perfect fit, Japspeed stuff is utterly awful and I wouldn't be giving them a single penny of my money.
  5. If you need to park on the pavement to allow space for other cars to pass, then you shouldn't be parking there.
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. No, you have lookey-likey Ugg boots which is worse!
  9. 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.
  10. You can get them, I know of at least two decent conversions in the UK...
  11. 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.
  12. Indeed, why did we have to grow up and stop spunking horrendous amounts of money on modifying cars?
  13. Experience and a lot of reading. A hell of a lot of reading.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Do you want to go quick round the corners or quick in a straight line? 2 or 4 seats? FWD, RWD or 4WD? Front, mid or rear engined? NA or FI? Badge important? Running costs? Reliable?
  17. Sounds fine. Personally I would change the "will expect you to cover the cost of the works deemed necesscary" to something like "I am sure you will want to make sure that I am left in the position I was before the works took place". Sounds less aggressive so gives you somewhere to go, plus that's the exact whole point of the insurance so will look good if you ever needed to escalate to the courts.
  18. I only use genuine stuff, but then I did buy all my leads and adaptors before there were any 3rd party ones available.
