Re: iPhone 3.0 Discussion Looks like a lot of excellent new stuff. What's Spotlight btw?

How did the car lock!?!

Re: someph-ing different........... Nobody cares what time you got home, if you have no pictures you may as well go back to bed.

The professionals have to weigh up time versus money the customer is spending. Most paying customers would rather the job take a couple hours less and be charged less for the privilege. Removing mirrors, handles, etc seems a little pointless unless you're going for true concourse and, imo...

If you could comfortable afford it and it was a good example (mega-high miles and no belt change suggests poor service history?) then I'd say R32 all day long, but there's no point making yourself insecure financially just for a car, especially at the moment.

Lol, yeah it's real. Ongoing joke that not many people on here seem to be aware of... owning me and my car slightly!

Re: iPhone 3.0 Discussion Fair enough, from my experience the only hardware changes that would be worthwhile at the moment would be to Make it smaller or have a greater storage capacity. Neither matters to me.

Re: iPhone 3.0 Discussion Sorry if I've missed a point, but what's stopping them just releasing 3.0 for the existing 3G? Why the certainty, and requirement, for a new iphone if it's all software-related fixes?

So, you push the throttle further to the floor and your car goes quicker? Uh, that's kind of the way acceleration works! ;)

Lol, cheers boys. It's been a long journey but she almost looks like a real Cup... just the respray to go. Was good to meet the small selection that decided to meet up, nice to have one of each available, as well as something a bit different to ponder over!

Justin - Yeah I did mate - had a panic when the wrong backing plate turned up, but all sorted! I may pop along to the meet today... 12pm at Exeter Services, right?

I've seen worse, and for £2k you could easily spend a few hundred to get it back to standard. The price concerns me though...

By the guy's own admission it's been sat in his garage for 4 years so will no doubt need a bit of work to get it sweet again. Remember, this is a 32 year old car and seriously collectable nowadays. To someone that is into VW's, or perhaps has the money to start a project, it's worth its money.

What time we leaving on Sunday? Will probably motor on up in the morning... I've hijacked the car.

Re-sult

Lol, knew there was a reason you wanted my company... I'm just your b**ch.

That would explain the reference to anal violation in the second sentance... Looking forward to this, should be a chuckle. Not been on a ferry since year 8!

Cheers russ, I might have a look into the menz polishes as they seem to be rated better and easier to use. I'm pretty confident I didn't spend long enough properly breaking down the polishes...

LOL, can if you want mate. If yours is clean we can spruce it up in an hour or two?

Lol, in the media section that would just be wrong... Aye, the dent's been there since I got her. There's various annoying scrapes on both bumpers which I'll be sorting in due course, but she's not in bad nick for 80k.

I used Megs 83 and 80 with Lake Country Orange and Black - it's certainly not flawless in the right light, but a big improvement nonetheless! I spread the polish on '2' and then worked it in slowly on '5' - moving the machine about 1cm a second. That sound right? I wonder if I wasn't using...

^ Cheers mate, good tip! For some reason I was under the impression that the pad would be spinning at crazy rpm, hence the effectiveness of it over hand polishing. I have since learnt that I am wrong, lol.

Yeah there is a blue hue because of the white balance setting... didn't realise until I got them on the PC screen!

Cheers chaps, I'd love to get the car looking nice and get some 'proper' shots done... might have to speak nicely to Chris (ukaskew)! Vein - gladly mate; I intend to maybe offer my novice services out over the coming months prior to show season! I won't be perfect, but I also won't be...

No before's because I'm a rubbish detailer-writer-upper and didn't even think about it.... But I'm pleased with the results for my first time, not sure I was applying the right pressure all the time and I found the pad deceiving as to whether it was spinning or not! There's still light...

Looks smart mate, but seem to be sitting awfully high..? I suppose it'll settle a bit, too.

You'll also stop briefly so I can hop in with you boys and join in the waving...

Flol, calm it chap, he's just playing up to the CS audience. People love a good reveal on here so he's just taking the piss by delaying! So many angry people on this forum!

Re: iPhone Q&A DONT START ONE QUESTION IPHONE THREADS. **POST HERE** ^ It would have to be with o2, they're the only network offering contracts!

Something like: "Why not. I'm all over a frothy brew...." after that, I'm out!
