Seriously go have a play with a 50D - they are sooo much better than the entry level stuff - especially for motorsport photography
Also just remembered I think the cashback offer is £65 not £50
Just got a 50D last month - I had a 450D, then a 500D - now the 50D
The build quality, weight, feel and button layout is superb - sooooo much better than the entry level 450/500/550 series
It cost me £700 but there is a £50 cashback offer on at the moment - so £650 body only
You can get it...
Mr RickyP ;)
Mark told me you'd got one the other night - when you strip it out mate gimme a shout as there's a load of standard bits and bobs I could do with to tidy mine up - I'll come over and throw some cash at you :)
Hahahhaa use the bora more!
Will. yeah over on 106owners - I can't get on at work so can't post a link but it's not hard to find with a bit of a google search for fuzzy orange and progress blog and 106owners :)
Do what I did - get yourself a daily hack
I never used the 106 as my daily drive because it felt wrong - so it just sat in the garage and I used my girlfriends 106 gti instead LOL
Now I have my cup and my girlfriend's 106 gti is being broken for parts - but for daily driving I have a nice...
Right I didn't get any pics cos just as I took the battery off the car to start work - it started raining
Only took me 10 mins - supported the engine with the crane (overkill but quick lol) - undid the 18mm nut and pulled the top hat off
Then fitted the new one and the new washer and 19mm nut...
Ahhh just found this - thanks to SteveS
Good to see it being looked after - PMSL at the "chavved up" comments - it was gorgeous back when it had the recaros, morettes, and chronos on
But I do agree they look nice as standard cars
I threw way too much money at that car - it's been properly...
Yeah I got my 15" 2.8ghz dual core with 4gb of ram MBP about 2 months ago
Not worth upgrading - the quad core processors are ok - but mines not skipped a beat so far and it gets a right hammering with mysql/php/firefox/aperture/photoshop etc.. opened all day every day
Well it's a choice between - getting the passenger side on an axel stand, then removing the plastic engine under-cover, then putting my trolley jack under the gearbox to support it
Or just hook the engine crane onto the lifting eye
Bosh lol
Got mine today
Loads smaller - and does now have a washer and replacement nut. The cut out on the top is deeper and bigger as well to allow the nut to sit into the top hat more :)
I'm gonna fit it tonight - got an engine crane in the garage so should only take 10mins
I'll take pics of it...
Bit of an update for anyone still waiting
Rang vibratechnics - they only had 20 top hats to send out and I believe over 50 sets to replace - so they've sent 20 out - but the rest go out today as they are getting a delivery at lunch
Even though I was number 1 on the list - they haven't sent...
Anyone else had theirs yet? Been well over a week now since they were apparently posted but not had mine - Think I might give Sean a ring and make sure my name was on the list
