    Minty mint as always mate, i've never know anyone keep their car as spotless as you do. Looking good. Almost the polar opposite of how I treat my car.:o Loving the shot of you at the national meet in your aviators, from now on i'm calling you Mavrick.:cool:

    New Car Tax Question

    If you get an ar*ehole copper he can do you for not displaying a valid tax disc even if it's taxed. It's usually down to ANPR as to whether you get pulled over, not sure how quickly the database gets updated.

    Old people driving Clio sports

    I was walking my dog down the park one day and a bloke in his sixties rolled up in a brand new Impreza STI, he then let his Golden Retriever out the back. :approve: I was pleasently surprised as most of the old boys that walk thier dogs show up in people carriers. No age limit on owning...

    Motorsport dangerous?

    I don't know whats crazier, the ones where the're blatently dead before they hit the ground, or the ones where they get thrown out, go sliding along the track, then get up and walk away like f*ck all's happened! They had some balls on 'em back then, crash and your dead! Mental vid!

    BHP at flywheel?

    What gets me is I could say 130 or 172bhp, if the car gets written off the're never going to be able to check it. Most insurance companies just ask if it's remapped or not, exact BHP figures will always be inacuracte unless they have their own rolling road. You'd think a modified car...

    BHP at flywheel?

    Nope, the box will only let you type numbers.

    BHP at flywheel?

    It's for Greenlight and the box is only big enough to write a number in. I'm thinking of puting 168, isn't that was 172ps equates to? It is mental to ask for BHP at flywheel, whos going to know that without a dyno and the correct percentage loss to the wheels?

    BHP at flywheel?

    I'm filling in a greenlight online insurance form and they want to know what the BHP is at the flywheel.:S I was tempted to put 172bhp but I know thats wrong, anyone know what the standard BHP is on a 172?

    BTCC @ Donington - Difficult weekend.

    Cheers for that mate, very helpful. I had done some research into motorsport photography, but with anything thats very popular the're are hundreds of keen amatuers, diluting the market for professionals. (A fact I found out years ago when trying to sell landscape images) TBQH I don't have...

    BTCC @ Donington - Difficult weekend.

    Excuse my ignorance but is it difficult to make a living from motorsport photography? Don't worry your not looking at a potential competitor, my lens struggled at a recent showjumping meet, so motorsport is way out of it's league. :dapprove: Obviously Sportstock is a stock agency but do you...

    Insurance credit checks?

    Phew, I had visions of having to SORN my car for a couple of months untill I'd saved enough to pay it all off. I've got a Barclay credit card, had it before I had my bank troubles and I allways pay my monthly bill.

    Insurance credit checks?

    Anyone know how intensive car insurance credit checks are? I've always paid for my insurance up front, but this year i'm going to have to pay by instalments, i've been getting quotes and they all talk about credit checks. Now basically i'm assuming my name is dirt as I have previous with the...

    My first studio portrait session

    Wriggly little buggers arent they, at least he wasn't balling his eyes out, nightmare when that happens. You did well, whenever I shoot familys with babies I always bare in mind that as long as the customer's happy thats all that counts. Although I don't ask my customers to launch their...

    marmite iceburg 172

    I think a darker blue would look better, but then it's not my car so as long as you like it. Don't get the bonnet thing though, surely if it worked that well at cooling the engine bay, then the ph2 race/rally cars would do it?

    Sky broadband

    I'm on my 3rd sky router, it never sorted the problem so a couple of months ago they decided to pay for a BT engineer to test our phone line, turns out there was a problem with the juction box in the next street so everythings sorted now. Every time you ring up get them to register your call...

    I was thinking that but i'm not sure how secure it is, I don't need every pervert getting off on the model portfolios I shot as alot of them are lingerie and boudoir/glamour.

    wanna strip it..

    Once you've driven around for week without the back seats in you'll only ever put the back in if you've got to take passengers. When GDI existed they said to me they posted a set of back seats and they weighed 30 kilos! That a fair old weight saving for 5 mins with a socket set.
