  1. Well not 100%, they sold 200,000 before the release then there lots of other figures flying around apple said they sold 280,000 in july but the companys that sold them only said 200,000. but even if they sell 200,000 a month thats only just gonna make the 1,000,000 mark over the quater, maybe thats why they dropped the price, as sales are bound to slow.
  2. Thats how much the part is from lexus, mine totaled to over £100 as replace all the seals, nuts, clips etc, but it is smooth now :)
  3. I'm questioning the usablity with one hand as well, the thing is huge to get your thumb across to top left side of phone will be interesting, and ive got big hands, but we'll see. Was reading the yahoo piece yesterday about them dropping prices, some people think they arent selling enough (they wanted 1 million in first quater or something) so have dropped to try and hit target.
  4. I'm thinking an Enzo might be there this year as ive seen it round brighton loads since last summer, the thing is all the super cars are very disappointing they usually do around the 12-13 mark no where near some of the other stuff
  5. Yeah the 8th fella, have you ever been???
  6. Well i'm posting this up mainly for you guys as i might have to spend saturday in london for my sisters late bday party but, it might not be going ahead so i might be able to stay down for this. Last year was a good laugh, barry and jane came down and me and some mates took some chairs and beers down and then went out afterwards. Lots of cars and bikes ranging from very very old to very new and very quick, it is held on a slight curved very bumpy piece of road on the seafront so i have no idea how the bikes and some cars get it to the 9 second barrier. Example of cars to be seen range from skylines - supras - 4 wheel drive puma - ford rs200's - BMWs - Porkers - F40 - F50 - lambos and all the oldies to Bikes you got 3 wheelers - standard anything from 400cc up to 1400cc - big turbo'd bussa's and all the old things which make ALOT of noise but dont really move that quick lol Practise starts early something like 10-11 ish and last year it finished at about 4-5ish Fingers crossed for good weather it should be good. The only thing i can say is if your gonna be there for the whole day bring a fold out chair as it gets busy and standing around can get the legs aching. If i can get out of sisters thing which im thinking is pretty good at the moment, hopefully will see some people there. Here some nice photos of last year The big orange thing in the first photo flipping flys http://www.flickr.com/groups/brightonspeedtrials/pool/ http://rides.webshots.com/album/557207952OInmAI Elliott
  7. Its got a few good things on it, the thing that stands out most is the user interface, its friendly and moves around alot, i dont see why this is still such an amazing new revolution in phone technology though. The only thing i will be impressed with is if it runs as smoothly as it does in the demo videos when its got 1000's of songs 100's of contacts emails movies etc. The 1 big down fall i see is you cant use it with 1 hand due to its size and the touch screen, everything in the videos was with a finger apart from the 2 thumb typing. I have herd that some numb nut got thumb surgery so he could use it better but not sure if that was 100% true. Maybe i'll be more impressed when i see or have ago on one myself.
  8. I know your pressed for time but this still leaves me thinking, what the hell does it do that other phones dont ???, If its got big storage for loads of music that great, what else does it do ??? Unless all your saying is its really easy to swap music from your PC to your phone using itunes ?? and it charges at the same time ??
  9. im not sure what the big fuss is about these things, can someone tell me in plain english (if you use abbreviations could you please add what they mean as i have no idea what HSDPA is) All i look for in a phone is 1) It makes telephone calls, easily and clearly 2) Good camera for pics and vids 3) Good music player with big enough storage for both photos and music 4) on the odd occation i go on the internet at the moment it seems fast enough,esspically when connected to my homes wireless net What has this phone got over the above ??? And also what is it going to cost as im guessing we're in england so its gonna be bloomin expensive Cheers Elliott
  10. thanks for the kind words ppl, deffo wnat to go into something along these lines, we've got some top bloke who helped write the bulk of the FIA F1 rulings, which there pleased with as he can get us in pretty much anywhere, think i first outing is to donnington to find out about tire technology, cant wait :)
  11. I not 100% sure but i would have thought 15.5 upwards if its standard. Yemgi in his supercharged IS with 188 rwhp ran a 15.8 but was on 19's and the IS weighs more. Good luck post up your results
  12. Yeah i think they are the exact same ones as your IIRC which is a shame lolol just in white with some graphics down the side, i'll grind yours up all day if you let me im sure its the best thing for it LoL Yeah i dont think i'd fit in it being 6ft 6, not really 100% sure who races what i'll be finding out later got lost of question to ask :)
  13. Well after the last couple of years just working not really going forward in a career i thought what should i do. I went for police force a couple of years back and just missed out by 3% on the day away with the writen papers, role play and interview, bit of a bummer but ho hum. So about 2-3 months ago starting looking into mechanics courses, found out that a few places were starting to do a foundation degree in motorsport, and a place just down the road from me (North Brook College) based at shoreham airport and worthing (if any of you know the area) So went along to the opening evening in July and they had only just been signed off on the course as it was so new, so signed up as it sounded pretty good. Just heard yesterday that I've got a place, gotta go along today and fill out paper work etc As its a motorsport degree its quite heavily based on maths and physics to do with aerodynamics, chassis etc etc. We will be using mclarens carbon fibre sections up at there Woking plant which i can wait to have a sniff round. We'll also be working with some of the other courses to prepare a couple of Pug 306 rally cars and a little single seater race car, then go racing at weekends. Cant bloomin wait. just found this on the woking plant looks like a space station lol http://www.mclarencars.com/company/woking.htm Just gotta go and dust off all the old books and calculators as i think the next 2-3 years will be pretty intense. Gotta say im pretty pleased and hopefully i can now start towards a good career :D
  14. Really what would you be impressed at mac 1 or 2 LoL I would love a car that revved up to anything like 8,250 and if it had 525hp and a brilliant 4 wheel drive system that would be just lovely. The thing with this is its probably a good day to day driver as well
  15. I saw it was pretty good. Missed the audi and BMW at beginning but there no real shame lol The little Misti I looked pretty funky think that should sell well. The bugati as always pretty amazing never seen an airbreak that big before simply crazy What do people think the car was we couldnt see, we got a quick glance at it, it was a red and white colour looked to have stickers on, im guessing a race car of some sort ?????
  16. just went and looked at all of the guy who bought then sold its items (collectordan) and he collects lots of old war stuff and cigar etc. He also had previously bought one of the bottle in worse condition for over $2000. I carried on looking down and to my shame i found he has also bought a set of brand new BMW Z4 wheels LoL
  17. yeah i meant it CANT be wiped, that is very random that the fuel gauge doesnt work, i must have been lucky so far then as i've filled her up quite a few times and usually run her for a good 300 or so miles so it must have been getting pretty empty each time LoL
  18. Well i know it was mapped slightly richer as thats better than lean, but it was driving fine before so the map wouldnt have changed so i see no reason for it to be to do with that now i know the FCON can be wiped.
  19. gotta love top secret some of there cars are crazzzzy There also the Yellow JUN skyline running 1000+bhp that clarkson test drove ages ago on top gear, it was 40 something k with and 30 something k with out. Wasnt sure what the extra 10,000 was for, cant find it now thought it was on gtr.co.uk but can see it. Just seen this 1000+ for 28,000, that the one that does the 1/4 mile on the dyno (my fav vid ever) http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/upload/73354-ju...-car-gtr33.html
  20. Ive not accused them off it yet as i want to be 100% sure thats why i posted up on here first. Its just **** annoying and slightly dodgey that the fuel gauge has always worked for me, it has never has the issue it now has and its all when i dropped it in to get a wheel bearing done, and i get 2 calls from friends saying "your cars broken down" miles and miles from the garage it was put it at. Thats why i'm ****** off. Transporter has got some good points but the whole issue is ive never had these problems before i handed to them. The throttle body has nothing to do with it cutting when driving along, when pulling up to traffic lights the idel is set too low so sometimes is stalls but i know about that and it will be dealt with accordingly.
  21. I got the 550 injectors then uprated lines and pump from the monster all installed and mapped at the sametime by TDi, i went for a drive today, still doing it. going around the car the fuel pump sounds a little different so i think i'll take that out at the weekend and see if its ok or not.
  22. I like the stickers but then I a little younger than you barry :shutit: LoL Yeah all the paint chips are getting redone as part of the package Someone buy it and then take me for a ride pretty pleassssssee
  23. This has to be one of the nicest skylines ive ever seen, running 700+bhp as well so i bet it goes like stink ENJOY!!!!! http://www.neweraimports.com/carDetails.jsp?carId=349
  24. Well im hoping its just the fuel filter it has done nearly 100,000 miles and is 7 nearly 8 years old. The only other thing if it is the fuel side of things is if the uprated pump from the monster has run dry it may have caused damage to itself, hope not but could be another cause.
