It would appear some of Britains legal eagles disagree with the remain camps "we'll have to start trade deals from scratch" remarks. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/674792/proof-Britain-will-not-lose-trade-deals-leave-EU-Chancellor-George-Osborne http://www.lawyersforbritain.org/articles.shtml

For those saying they dont want to give our government more power by voting leave, atleast you'll then have the power to remove them by voting for a party whose policies you agree with (I know its usually a case of picking the lesser of the evils on offer). At the moment, all we're doing is voting who we want to be our EU mouthpiece. Everyone has made valid points from both sides of the debate, but this is one of the key issues for me personally.

I see our exports to EU members has been shrinking over the last decade. We now export more outside of the EU than within it. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/673585/British-trade-exports-EU-European-Union-lower-before-single-market-UK I've also not seen one major company (or any company for that matter) come out and say they will quit the UK if we leave the EU which raises the question as to how accurate the 'eu funded' forecasts of doom and gloom are. It would appear that the opposite could happen. Take the $830 billion Norwegian sovereign fund for example, they might invest more AFTER Brexit: http://www.breitbart.com/london/2016/03/10/norways-830-billion-wealth-fund-to-invest-in-uk-regardless-of-brexit/ Avon has just announced it is setting up its global HQ in the UK so it's not worried about Brexit. Neither are 73% of Chief Financial Officers who say Brexit will not affect their UK investment decisions: http://www.cnbc.com/2016/03/14/brexit-wont-hurt-our-trade-with-uk-global-cfos.html Are the big boys in the city really as concerned as the media makes out? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/12157846/UK-would-be-a-better-place-if-it-left-the-European-Union-claims-one-of-Londons-biggest-hedge-funds.html. Of course no one knows what could happen if we leave. I dont believe we're going to become isolated, I dont believe it will be harder for qualified EU/UK citizens to move around Europe - its in no-ones interest to make it that way. We do however know of some things that will negatively effect us if we stay in (increased national debt, strangled industries, power grabs, increased net migration, housing shortage, lower educational achievement, public service strain, etc)

To give you an idea, I built the following spec 1 year ago for £1215.00 (inc vat) and it runs Assetto Corsa / Project Cars (pretty much all my other games) absolutely fine on max settings (on a single 24" monitor): CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K 4GHz Socket 1150 8MB L3 Cache CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H80i High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD5H Socket 1150 VGA DVI HDMI 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard Memory: Corsair DDR3 2400MHz 16GB Vengeance Pro Red PSU: Corsair RM 650W Fully Modular 80+ Gold Power Supply SSD: Samsung 850 PRO 256GB SATAIII 2.5inch SSD (10yr warranty) Case: Corsair Carbide 330R Black GPU: 4GB GigaByte GTX 970 G1 GAMING You'd pay similar money for a similar spec today (maybe more). If you sweat money you could get a better GPU like the 980 or the new 1080 and for a triple monitor setup you could go G-Sync for the ultimate (but expensive) experience.

I think the maker was Thomas Wilkinson of Birmingham (1875 - 1933). His Trade Mark was a 'Pelican', his factory was named the 'Pelican Works'. http://www.925-1000.com/silverplate_W2.html http://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=14729#p48422 http://www.birminghamconservationtrust.org/2015/02/06/friday-photo-pelican-works/ I base the above on the Pelican looking stamp and not the T.W as there are several with those initials. I'm by no means a silverware expert.

@Tsia - Nice Setup, I've only got a single 24" with a Logitech T300 'Ferrari' GTE and TrackIR 5. @JasonR24 - Example car setup basics video in AC: From a brief 1 hour play with the Jap pack I've tried the normal Supra (JDM VVTI), Time Attack Supra and Nismo GTR. All of them are nice to drive, a noticeable difference between the handling of the 2 Supras and Nismo GTR is pretty impressive! I had a quick race in TA Supra (swapped paint a couple of times lol):
-
Anyone here use Assetto Corsa? They've just released a Japanese Pack for it: - Features Mazda MX-5 2015 - Features Mazda MX-5 CUP - Features Mazda RX-7 Spirit R + tuned version - Features Toyota Supra MK IV + time attack and Drift version - Features Toyota AE86 Trueno + tuned and Drift version - Features Nissan 370Z NISMO - Features Nissan GT-R R34 Skyline V-Spec Took the Time Attack Supra for a quick blast around Spa, looks and sounds great, but me and corners don't get on [video=youtube;N-ZVGfsxWTI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-ZVGfsxWTI

Yeah I knew that Al, I was just expanding on how little influence we have in the EU

The thing is we have no 'special' status in the EU contrary to what Scamoron and his cronies claim. The UK has so few votes that we can’t block EU laws. We can only rely on having 8 per cent of votes in the Council of Ministers and have less than 10 per cent of the votes in the European Parliament. Politicians have surrendered the UK’s power to veto laws we disagree with , so if the EU decides to introduce a law that will be bad for Britain there is nothing we can do to stop it.

Some good faqs on brexit here - http://www.leave.eu/en/faqs/faqanswers And an info graphic on why need to get out.

Not sure if this would help: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/stop-annoying-uac-prompts-how-to-create-a-user-account-control-whitelist-windows/

Yes, for failing to prevent a €400 million fraud http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/christine-lagarde-to-go-on-trial-for-failing-to-prevent-400m-fraud-a6777501.html

The IMF were wrong on Greece, wrong on the Euro and didnt predict the global financial crisis. I thought it was awkward that George Osbourne reveals the findings of the 'independent' IMF report only for Christine Lagarde to thank the Treasury for their help producing the report.

The rear caliper bolts are £1.90 + VAT each

I just use firegum on manifold to 1st decat, gasket between both decats and gasket and RR between 2nd decat and cat back exhaust, never had a problem.

The bolts for the UK Spec front calipers (part no: 90105-12175) are £2.24 + VAT each. I dont have a price for the rear caliper bolts (part no: 90105-12174) but they are a little cheaper as the guy at Toyota said they'll be giving me a small refund on what I've already paid. I'll know for sure tomorrow when I collect them.

Apologies in advance for the length of this post, Im quoting a comment posted on a Leave.EU Facebook post. I'm not sure who the original poster was as its been copied/shared loads since, however it does make a good argument to leave the EU. We should also bear in mind that George Osborne MP cant even predict our GDP for 1 year, let alone predict the future in 2030. Add to that the IMFs doom and gloom outlook on Brexit - the IMF has been consistently wrong in past forecasts about the UK and other countries! Plenty of further bed time reading at http://www.voteleavetakecontrol.org/news And a simple video to get the jist below...

Does anyone trust Moron Brown? Lets face it he would never have become PM if the public had a say in it, it was gifted to him by his pals. He sold off our gold stocks for peanuts and left the country in a worse financial state, not to mention he looks down on Joe Public ("bigotted women" for example). We've gone from the 'remainers' saying flights will get more expensive if we leave the eu to now claiming it'll start a war...smells of desperation since the 'out' campaign has better arguments.
-
That gold one is truly hideous.

Thanks John. I've just nipped in to query it and they've made a mistake ordering me 8 of the same bolt. They are different so i have to nip back tomorrow to get the correct ones. Cheers
-
Cheers John. I have ordered 4 of each from toyota but when i looked at them at home having collected it would appear they've given me 8 identical bolts. I'll pop back in toyota when im in that neck of the woods today.

Aren't the BBC part funded by the EU? - no wonder their coverage is biased, wouldn't want to lose that precious funding.

Hi all, Can anyone confirm if the front & rear caliper bolts are the same part despite having different part numbers (90105-12174 & 90105-12175) ? Cheers Simon
