I'm impressed they cope that well! But having never tried it I've not got the experience to say. There was plenty left over on my Trophy on DS2500s and Brembo HCs though, so I'm not completely shocked!

What laptop is it? Can it take 2 sticks? 2x2GB would do it wonders. 1.6GHz isn't going to set the world on fire but I've run Vista fine on worse!

Without seriously more power behind it being the caveat!

Waves. I frequent the area on occasion.

And using engine braking you can usually get some epic pops as you feather the throttle back on. Over-run FTW! Looking forward to being able to get a slightly rich over-run on mine.

Not a mad fan of HP laptops other than the Elitebooks. The rest of the range can feel very plasticky so I'd go for the Macbook (yes, you can quote me). However I'd also consider looking at the Dells unless you truly hate them. The E4300 is a very competent machine.

Your eyes can tell this obviously. My toe was a country mile out (6 degrees toe-in on the OSR) on the S4 and it didn't do that. Fred saw it from 10 feet away! There's probably more going than just that.

She's obviously had it on a 4WA machine to check the camber and that's not out. Oh, wait, no, she's decided it's probably toe related (which yes, it's probably exacerbating the situation!) so it's suddenly not cmaber.

Don't like YellowStuff myself, but if it works for you!

LOL @ Best Cambelt Quote Evar. Right up until he asks specialists on the forum. Bless.

It makes a massive difference, but nowhere near as much difference as being able to drive properly. Get some lessons and you'll learn to use both the brakes and engine to slow you down and you'll get far bigger and more heroic tripods (usually at scary angles!) than those folk with million pot...

Justin, you will buy one. And hopefully be able to take a picture of the whole car, unlike Lukey. x

The grill I'm not sure on but the rest is pre-facelift. Didn't the rear lights get clear, as opposed to dark, reverse lights on facelift cars?

If you didn't insist on having your tyres at angles which can't be good for the car either, it'd probably have lasted three times as long. ;)

Sounds about right!

Badges - what are people's thoughts? New style S4 badge or the old style like is on there?

Well, just on my way up to Redcar (Hai Needy) as there appears to be a black leather S4 interior up for grabs. Here's hoping it's what I'm after so I can pillage covers/bolsters from it and save myself a grand there! Bodywork-wise, Halfords have mixed up a tin of very badly matching paint...

It won't go. You can space wheels out, but they need bringing in, which is no go.

You've got no hope!

RS Fabrications in Banbury. Made an epic job of my V6 exhaust - you could have sailed the Titanic into it and it would have done more damage to the ship!

I decided to shop for a mechanically good one - this one's been looked after bar the thermostat failure, the owner was meticulous about rectifying faults and has stacks of receipts for sensors that have reported odd readings and been replaced along with other bits and bobs. And this most...

Nah - I'm OCD as it is! And it's beyond detailing. I don't want to get the money back, just want it to be 'right' for me - I HAVE to keep this car, and as such it's going to get a bit of attention. Mechanically, it needs only a little love (although Fred will probably disagree on my definition...

Because it works still, and I can save up for those. I needed a fair amount of money short-term to fund house things.

The BBS' are lovely, but at best I'd get a swap for standard wheels and it's not worth the extra weight. I've got £1200 of retrim and £3000 of respray to do before it's worth changing the wheels for better looking!

How can it be that, if you're using a key? It's one or the other...

Owwww... There's the hardware to do a K04 upgrade for £700 on eBay at the moment. Must... Not... Bid...

Contrary to what you believe, a mint one is worth what someone will pay for it - not what you say it's worth.

More, IIRC.

I don't think it's on long term test - he actually bought it...

Shed TBH.
