I'm just going to step in here, and remind you that you haven't taken me for a spin yet... so you can't use this comment.

Good effort with this! Lovely car and it'll make a perfect track toy.

I bought the mrs one of the new Nikon Coolpix things to take to the lake district. She loves it, and it has different colour modes etc so you can get photos looking how you want pretty easily. I was really impressed at the quality of the pictures from such a small camera too.

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread I really really like that, it's even got the round steering wheel, as opposed to the flat bottom thing that is utter tripe.

Unplugging the speedo sensor does, just depends where the car reads speed from. Box or ABS

It's really easy. I bought mine on boxing day in the snow at PC world, looked it up online, was in stock, went to store, bought it, went home.

I knew you were going to say that. Making a joke about yourself Kev, really?

Ah cool. Sorry I couldn't look it up here as said. Nice addition though, like it.

I can't access this because it's blocked at college, but I thought you may have tried to contact magic ad off of here?? Or was he forgot about. Sounds awesome never the less!

100% best place for air-con type stuff due to having a "no re-gas, no fee" policy. They basically find the fault for you.

Indeed, but the kwik fit pressure test should be able to tell if there's any leak at all right?

My "Kwik-fit test method" will work, as they don't charge if they can't re-gas. ;)

Technically, the system is sealed, so it should never need re-gassing unless you have a hole in it etc. Here's what I'd do. Take to Kiwk Fit, ask them to re-gas. They'll pressure test Find that the system isn't sealed Run dye through system to identify leak HOPEFULLY the leak...

Probably a stone gone through the condenser. When the system loses pressure it won't click in.

There will be another. I'll be booking a lunch too, so deposits will be needed for those who want some!

Cheers mate. It's certainly getting there, wheel refurb and I'll be happy for a while.. No not at all, £3 more and I could have it that day. No one else could get me on on the day I wanted it!

Pics just for you Kev - Totally forgot to take any after all the hard work on Saturday, but it's still OK...

You really are selling me VW's Russ...

Very logical. I hate the whole "willing to drop price just because someone else is cheaper but not willing otherwise". I'd have been back with you guys at sky in a heartbeat if you could get me below £1000, but it wasn't quite happening.

Decent price TBH. Who said owning a TVR was expensive?

Love how calmly you type about it, just a small fire eh? At least you found the problem.

Well, I was over at Ant's place at the weekend, he had a quick go at polishing out a couple of minor scratches for me, this somehow resulted in a full snow foam, wash and wax! Today I have actual beading, I'll photo this on my lunch. It was so awesome that Gally would positively cream himself...

I'd also suggest importing some free pre-made models of cars etc, maybe some landscape to go either side? Somewhere like turbo squid will have a load of free cars you could import to make it look better.

You should be able to extend the actual time line, whether by dragging, or right clicking, that should do it. I'm not too up on 3DS Max, I was more of a Maya guy!

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread Ah cool. Didn't realise you were so miley, makes sense then. As long as you're enjoying it, tis a great looking car too.

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread I see you've even fitted a sail to make it go faster. ;) Any reason you didn't choose the petrol? TBH I'm yet to go out in the a1 with this engine, so I'm obviously not convinced. No need to take it all personally though sweetie, I could understand if I were...

Re: My A1 (to be) Thread 172 a go? Maybe running on three cylinders!!! Without being mean, the 140 in that a3 I had was hands down one of the worst engines I've ever had the displeasure of using. You're saying pulls hard through the revs? Mine picked up at 2.2k and died off by 4.4 or...

Re: yokohama parada??? any gd Which is why I really like the Parada's. I really felt like I could literally push the tyre as far as it would go, keep on pushing enjoying the fact it was letting go, then come off a bit and pull things back under control. People are too quick to define a good...

Re: Enhancement Detail - Porsche 911 - 996 Carrera 4S in Lapis Blue finished in Glasu Awesome! Buy it! Great 50/50's there, I use pictures like that to explain what the hell the difference is to the mrs. She hasn't got a clue what I'm doing with polish etc until I show her the difference it...

Re: yokohama parada??? any gd Personally I really liked running these. Great dry grip for the price, felt like they got really hot and sticky and even at the limits of grip didn't just snap. You can really "play" with a car with these on (imo of course). In the wet they're not great, but...
