Not a bad effort ! :D Been done before though ;) These were done post 10-yr anniversary meet in Sahfend. The cross dresser's bus by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr CS.net by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr :evil:

JP should have them back to you within 2/3 days.. cheaper to get the bus/taxi to work (assuming you don't have a 100 mile commute haha!) for a couple of days than a new set of wheels ;)

Rules are there to be broken. Black wheels if done right look spot on... ;)

Always an option to get those ones refurbed if you like the look of them ? JP in Canvey comes highly recommended :)

Forget carstaches (although, Movember is almost here... gotta be worth a giggle?) .. Has anyone seen the b*lloks you can buy to hang from your rear bumper/towbar ?

If I'd just written "Don't do it" that would have been less helpful than a chocolate fireguard, so I elaborated a little. I could have bored him/you to death with physics lessons behind increasing roll centres, sidewall deflection and such like but I'm pretty sure it would be lost on most...

Pass ? Have you taken that off and see what happens to the WB ? /stating the bleedin' obvious...

If this is your first car, and you don't actually know what you want to put on it, then why bother ? Seriously.. It will probably put your insurance premium up as they are not what it left the factory with, even if it's an alternate OEM wheel. It will cost you more in tyres as they are...

Have you tried turning it off and on again ? Try changing the WB to something else, like Tungsten which is pretty cool IIRC?, and if you're still getting a warm orange glow, it needs some TLC from Canon perhaps !

New HDDs are so cheap, you could get a new 1-2TB for £50 from Amazon/Ebuyer... If it were me, I'd buy a new external HDD, plug that into the new computer, format it so Windows is happy, plug it into the old computer with the old HDD too .. copy/paste, make a cuppa.......... Plug new one...

Detailing: Where the missus goes into great detail pointing out all the bits you missed with your sponge and chamois KFC bucket combo.

I heard the honking this time, but I'd already spotted you as I came down the sliproad ! :D

Check the boot alarm sensor... it might not be telling the car it's open...

I would imagine Renault UK would be helpful with this ? They seem to be pretty good with most issues... There'd be at least a 10 or 12 year anti-corrosion warrenty, providing it's all original still (the tailgate I mean) surely ?

Ah good. Another satisfying confirmation that terminating my eBay account was the right thing to do many years ago ! Goooooooood grief. No time wasters ? Hello bored people of CS...

SRS ? Call them up, speak to someone with an IQ greater than their shoe size and sort it out. What is anyone here going to tell you that you won't already know !? Saved up for coilovers by buying a new car IIRC. /no further questions, your honour.

Surely you could lower it 20-30mm until March and see how you get on with it ! Would be stupid to raise/lower it every other day after checking the forecast. The handling should be better when it's not snowing anyway, as the springs/dampers should be firmer than OEM... Best bet is (if...

FLOL. Amazing. :evil:

Hoover the roads or stop driving. :coffee: Seriously though, what do you normally do on a Sunday morning cleaning the car ...? Bucket of suds, sponge and a coat of TurtleWax scrubbed off with your finest Chamois, or have you got £100's of CYC/i4d kit sitting on your shelves...?

Greenlight won't insure anything in Manchester IIRC..... ?

FLOL @ the female logic there. Brave stuffing the wheels up on her car as punishment, but I doubt she'd notice...

Re: A decent garage in surrey to help check and set up timing after cambelt change... Sounds like a line from Fast & the Furious TBH.

The thing with low powered engines is that it costs a lot of money to get them to have a worthwhile percentage. With a 172, supercharging or ITBs is about £3-5k for a ~30% power increase, and in my mind that's a waste of time as for the money you could get something stupid quick and interesting...

It'd be under 3 with some Cup badges on.

It's not a Winblows craptop so don't even worry ! Enjoy !!

Which one FFSnake :rasp:

Put car in a de-compression chamber. Take the chamber to 30,000ft, and then drop a window. Sand is now someone elses problem.

Tidy ! Splitter looks ace on Ph1's, doesn't suit the lines on that. Fabia would have been better as you pointed out !

Pfft... common as muck, Mark. Time to sell up and buy something lesser-spotted in the Essex badlands, like an Impreza....... :coffee:

If you're happy with OS X anyway, you'll already know how to set up the trackpad, gestures and hot corners the way you like... Not sure what you mean about uninstalling windows programs !? There's not much on the machine when you get it. Certainly no sh*t that Dell/HP install filling the...
