.. Anyone use them or know of any experiences with them? Renewal time is upon me, and insuring a group 20 car in the G postcode area aint cheap. Ive been going through all the comparison sites and they all come up with 1st Central as the cheapest (by miles) with only a £150 excess. Always...

Today, quarter to 3, hope street, I hear the unmistakable vroom-pshhh vroom-pshhh. Silver STI, dodgy lookin' geezer at the wheel.

...So my iphone falls out my pocket as I'm droppin my kecks...sploosh! "WTF?...Oh s**t my phone.... It must've been submerged for a good 7-10 seconds before I retreived it. When I took it out the screen was fooked, nothing worked and it was full of water so I just switched it off till I got...

I've just been given a sky+ box off a mate in work who has switched to Virgin. I have normal sky digital at the mo, but my house has the dish with the 2 lnb feeds required for sky+. It it just a case of plugging it in, sticking my viewing card in and I'm away? Or do I need to phone sky and...

The weather has been excellent this week, and the roof has been down at every opportunity :cool: So time for some fresh pics me thinks.

I am thinking of getting in the Sky HD now that they are doing the £49 offer, but I am wondering if it is possible to fit a splitter to the rear HDMI cable and run another cable to my bedroom, because I have a 1080p telly in there going to waste. Would spitting the signal kill the quality?

Since people are asking, here's the Japcrap. Aka "The Hornet". I know the yellow isn't everyones cuppa, but I think it looks amazing in the sunlight with the pearl flip. Loving the power, although it is a little tail happy in the wet. Just need to get used to RWD again.

Going into Braehead, White R26R (I think) with red wheels being driven by a Blonde chic. Looked absolutely amazing :approve:

Got refused an MOT this morning because the car wouldnt go on the ramps with the coilover setup. I suggested that they could use bits of wood to drive on/off with but they were adamant they, or anybody else wouldnt be able to do it. He made himself look a right arse when I showed him the MOT...

Right, been getting the update reminder for a week or so, so I decided to stick service pack 1 in my laptop. Now that I have, everything is fecked! My Bluetooth, camcorder, helmetcam, MP3 all have compatability issues and wont work. Plus my broadband which was getting 4-6MB is now getting...

These fookers are everywhere in the courtyard at my work. They take a great pic. Does anyone know anything about caterpillers/where these are from?

The bloody Post office wont give me a tax disc because they say I am not producing the insurance certificate. I have gave them everything I received from Elephant in the mail and they are saying its not the real certificate, it is just the schedule? I have managed to renew my tax twice before...

Looking to buy a wee point and shoot for my hols but it must be 100% waterproof as its going round the waterparks. Doesnt need to have mega zoom but needs to shoot decent stills and video. Any suggestions? I was looking at the Olympus tough, but I know there are others out there. Any help...

Drove by you today as you were parking up in the Braehead car park, tried to grab your attention, but you and your lady friend were too busy messing about with your window wipers?! I was in the mighty SMART lol Your 197 looked amazing mate.

Saw you today going through the Burger King drive thru. I was inside banging the window at you and waving, but you were too excited thinking of that mouthful of meat to notice lol. The pug is looking well :approve:

Didnt notice a sticker, anyone off here?

I was one of the lucky ones to get one of the last of the proper cup tow eyes from R-Sport (cheers Dave). Screwed it in today and it looks proper sl@g! Gonna have to put loctite on the threads to help stop the neds from nicking it.

Is there any way of updating the camera database without giving those SOB's fifty quid? I know I'm sounding like a skinflint but things are tight at the mo.

My car is currently in getting it's 24k service, and I've just had a phone call from the mechanic saying there is a really bad oil leak coming from the back of the engine and dripping onto the manifold. I asked if it was the rocker cover gasket, he said no, its the crank-case and it is a big job...

Just bought a PSP off a guy in work, got it cheap but it is missing the top of the wee directional joystick at the bottom left. I can still use it without, but I would like to replace it. Does anyone know where I could buy one of these?

Flying along M8 westbound at 18.15, being hotly pursued by a white integra type R. Turn yer fog lights off!

Starts are starting to sound a little weak in the cold weather. Can anyone recommend where to buy a replacement, cheaper than Reno/kwik fit etc? My local Euro car parts dont have any in stock.

Display on my camera is saying "Memory card error" and wont take any more photos, nor will it display any that've been took. I've taken the card out and stuck it in my card reader, and it doesnt recognise there is a card present. Does this mean the card is fooked? I really hope not as there is...

Fitted it today after giving the main frame a quick lick of white hammerite. Was a total baisterd to fit myself, had to eventually take the front seats out and fight with it for two hours to get the cage to marry up to the cross members. But after a lot of cursing it finally all fitted together...

Dash-cam on, windows down. I could do this all day lol.

My brakes failed on me over the weekend. Last weekend I had new discs, pads and Goodridge hoses fitted, and the system was bled. The brakes were fine all week until I did some 'spirited' driving on Saturday. The brakes failed 3 times on me and I called out the RAC. He said he thinks it is the...

Great trip, excellent roads, would love to try it again with brakes the next time :o Unfortunately I didnt have the camera running when I couldnt stop and went right through a T-junction. A real brown-pants moment lol Anyway, quick vid;

...To Ali and his dad for their help yesterday fitting my new Brake discs, pads and goodridge hoses. It started out with me supposed to be doing the work and Ali supervising, then we ended up doing a side each for discs and pads, then Ali ended up doing the hoses himself while I watched like a...

Did I pass you on the sneaky left lane of the M8 (westbound) today at the back of 4? It was either you or someone very like you in a silver 182.

Seen you tonight on Berryknowes road, gave you a flash. I think you saw (heard) me just as I was giving it beans up the hill. Do you work in Braehead? I've seen your car there a few times.
