I live next door to castle combe...

That must be noisy on the night, how do you sleep ??! :D :P

←

no..

due to a few whinging tree-hugging do-gooders (who moved next door to a race circuit) complained about the noise so much there is a curfew on the circuit, so no racing after 6pm..

I live next door to castle combe...

Now aren't you annoyed that you shelled out fifteen quid in the first place? :D

i didnt ;)

dont get a defender - noisey, tinny, useless on road (fantastic off road though)...

Best bet for lowest cost, and older Disco - or even Range Rover - you can pick up the last generation from about £10k - and you be in her good books...

well, we need 12 people who can put forward £67 to a specific date..

possibly..

to be honest, i cannot confirm if we start going to far out - as of middle september work could mean i was unavailable...

if we can find a good date, they will pencil it in for us

you guys really shouldnt take it so seriously...

at the end of the day, its a panto, not a serious review..

actually, wetter is worse

they put a chemical on the surface, and wet it - if it rains it can wash the chemical away...

but its up to you how to proceed..

fantastic, that worked a treat cheers!

The missues has just moved to Brussels, and gotten a sim card for a belgium provider...

only her O2 Nokia 3100 is 'locked', so i phone o2, i get an unlock code, and a way to do it, only it doesnt work..

the number came from an automated system, whereas, the method came from someone at a call centre - who couldnt verify the number for me, cos that costs £15!!!

on the automated system, it mentioned the number being attached to the sim - now her method was to take out the sim and input #pw+number=1#

i was thinking maybe she needs the sim in to do this to make it work???

has anyone got any tips or help! its costing me a fortune in international calls to help her at the moment!

24th might be bad for me, im off to the US around that date...

Mac - do you want to call around some other skid pans, see how the prices compare?

we could always do mid-week, but i figured people would have problems getting time off work..

most these 'work from home' 'make £500 a week' are scams -

They make you buy things (such as model kits) and say you build them, and they pay you for every good one you return...

Only, they do everything they can to avoid paying, and you'll end up spending more than you get back..

The only things that work are Avon/Betterware etc.. but then you need to do a lot of leg-work for little return..

so the 21st is out..

Right - spoken to them...

The course has a maximum number of 12, so sorry about that..

It is a 3 hour course:

oh, and they can make it RWD only if we want.

It will cost £800 for up to 12 people - about £67 each.

Currently they have the following dates available - but it could fill up:

Aug 21 10am

Sept 10 2pm

Sept 11 2pm

Sept 24 2pm

Hi Mac - i'm easy either way - if you'd like me to take care of it, I can.. if you want to feel free...

I was just going to as im around the corner, and have been there before...

let me know..

yeah, people think they are 'overrated' because they see so many yuppies/balding middle aged men driving them...

BUT

Both the Boxster is a fantastic drivers car (really), and if it had any other badge, people would rave - its only because its in the 911's shadow that its overlooked..

and the 911 is a very good car, even the newer 997's, which are softer are still a very good drivers car..

now now - you should read your highway code young Ahmet - you stop at the crossing and wait for cars to stop before proceeding...

and i really feel for the guy - he's probably gotten dents in his bonnet now :P

and aido...............I'm gettin a lil worried bout you  

←

You'd be even more worried if you'd seen my thread in gold :P

You had invisible mods too though mate!!

←

I did??

Ians was amazing though...........!......almost like it wasnt there.

←

it wouldve been amazing, if Ahmet hadnt thought your car was mine...

←

Thats why you didn't win m8.....i think we should have a recount. :P

←

It would explain why i voted for yours though, if everyone thought it was mine

yep, thats right...

sounds like fun Ian!

what sort of capital aer we talking here?!?!?

also, where will we find chav graffiti artists to do the work

I was thinking more along the lines of transfers...

stack em high, sell em cheap - aim directly at the max power market...

dunno how much it costs, or if its even possible (to make a graphic transfer to go onto a plastic engine bay)

I didnt vote for you :P

dont worry Barrie - when every Corsa, Saxo and Fiesta has graphics under the hood - i'll know who started the trend...

In all honesty, the moment you showed me at JAE I thought 'this could be the next big thing', which was why i was so impressed (even if you werent sure)...

So anyway, whos up for starting a company to sell 'under bonnet graphics'

seems like Bazza might have started a new trend of under-bonnet artwork...

what you reckon - 1/3rd LOC has this by xmas... come JAE 06, its the next big thing.. soon to be replicated by the drones that like to replace perfectly good S's with z's cos they think its cool innit...

←

Bazza has some "graffiti" under the bonnet of his car ....

I'm getting a custom engine cover, from an image airbrushed .... some what different.

Not sure what you mean by drones? ...... I like it ... and that's what counts.

←

If you say so Ahmet...

I just saw the connection between Barrie's under bonnet art, and your idea was all, wasnt saying it was a bad thing...

and the whole drones wasnt about you - it was the fact i could see this catching on - and as with neon etc, it wont be long before its the 'must have' for all the max power readers that do whatever everyone else does...

you can buy a hardtop for the Boxster, ok you cant beat a metal fliptop but its a solution to rag top worries

having driven both the SC, and the Boxster... well, it depends what your after...

The SC is little more than a cruiser, push it hard and you'll be very dissapointed.

The boxster is surprisingly good - people slate it (saying couldnt you afford a 911?) but if it had any other badge on, it would be one of the best sports cars you could buy.

No rear seats, but surprisingly good storage space - and with your budget, you could get a 2 year old S no problems..

But if you really want a SC, go for it - you only live once...
