All hes got to worry about now is the spiders, snakes, sharks and jellyfish! ;) I walked through a little wooded area (port douglas) to a beach and thought, this is where Ill run into a snake! Made it to the beach without a problem, on the way back walking into the wood I thought "whats that...

Quote: Originally posted by blink172 on 08 February 2005 Mine annoy the crap out of me, they never seem to work properly. Dont bother with them anymore. Ditto. I think theyre dangerous, I mentioned this to jeremy on here about a year ago, and I mention it every time I go into the...

I didnt say stopping distance, I said time to react! :cool: I think the whole point is, if somebody posts on here saying "I shoplifted a CD from HMV and got caught, f*cking police should be out catching real criminals", would you expect the "hard luck mate" responses or would you expect to...

I would hope that any competant driver would be able to maintain a constant speed without having to keep their eyes glued to the needle, its not really that hard to do! Maybe those who do have this problem should seek some extra driving tutoring. There seems to be a fixation on this board with...

30 in a "30 zone" at chucking out time would be criminal too! In the next village to me some bloke got mown down by a truck in the early hours of the morning (killed straight out, apparently there wasnt much left of him) a few months back - just because you perceive the danger to be less at 3...

Maybe they shouldnt post about it here then, if people post messages saying "f**king cops caught me doing 38 in a 30, they should be out catching real criminals" then they deserve any critical responses they receive! So if you dont want/cant handle the critisism, dont post about your law...

Tom, youve got an iPod interface havent you? What does the renault display do when youre on that?

yeah, looks good. Bring on the 9855 (with ipod) and Ill be able to ditch my empeg. Do the buttons work properly, I seem to remember with the old alpine lead that some didnt, you couldnt skip tracks backwards or something?

maybe purple on blue isnt the best combination if you want people to read the message! ;) Have you got a multimeter to check the voltages on the plug in the car?

I think theyre f*cking dangerous personally, they never wipe like they should, the smallest drizzle they wipe when you dont want them too, then when it starts to pour down they just sit there, just as you move your hand to turn it to manual they start to wipe, then ten seconds later into the...

10% + 2 is a *guideline* figure given out by the assocation of police officers (or something like that...) to forces, they dont have to use the guidelines as theyre obviously, erm, guidelines!

If youre not removing the dashboard then youll also need to make sure that you get components where the cross-over is built into tweeter, otherwise they wont work!

Out of interest matt, you said above that they wanted £182 for michelin tyres, I seem to remember renault recalling all the 172s with michelin types because they were wrong and didnt work? It sounds pretty nasty if theyre fitting the wrong tyres & potentially dangerous tyres to cars. My...

I think it should be locked now.:devilish:

Ive been in a few that were owned by lotus and they had carbon fibre seats - did they not provide them as an option on production cars? The seats are *awful* (standard or carbon) - every elise Ive been in has left me with bruising on my back. The exige seats are about 5 million times better...

amen. Anybody driving around without no-claims protection (and with no claims bonus) needs their head read!

Of course the lotus wont have the vauxhall engine. Lotus themselves have switched to the toyota engine which is much better than the K series engines that the elises used to have. You look like a right c**k getting in and out, its real awkward (Im the best part of 66) but once inside there is...
