  1. I should have stopped looking after the bond cars
  2. Can't believe that I forgot the British have some of the most famous modified cars of all time - the bond cars! Champagne dispensers and rockets!
  3. Unfortunately mansory is a german company - can we pass it off as British styling as the founder was influenced by british luxury cars?
  4. According to Wikipedia the motor industry started in Britain with Frederick Simms in 1885 http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Simms_Motor_Scout_1899.jpg From this I'm thinking 26" rims and machine guns
  5. I must admit I did fear it could be that. I was hoping to pass that off as a French influence
  6. What car tuning trends or styles originated from the uk? Looking at a lot of the cars in the mags certain styles shout American/jap/euro but I haven't seen one and thought "that's a uk style car". With a great motorsport industry I would have thought we would have a more identifiable modifying style
  7. I like the mood swings - watching vettel win every other week with the same celebrations gets monotonous - vettel was more interesting last year with the in-fighting with webber, you could see the pressure mounting - adds to the drama of it all. I prefer to see Ham getting stroppy rather than endlessly thanking his team. Hams racing with Webber was fantastic. Roll on 2012 already
  8. http://www.curve-ad.com/
  9. I believe it's a curve bodykit
  10. Just found out that the front bumper is made by Signature if anyone's interested
  11. I don't really understand what the fuss us about - she didn't get prosecuted in anyway because she did not commit any offence. you cannot have a "weapon of offence" in your own home. That only relates to public places. The official police line was that not even a warning was given . I'm sure she just wants her face in the papers
  12. Just thought i'd check! Better safe than sorry + I think the more that know about it the better. Looks like a lovely car - v jealous of the new owner!
  13. Thought I'd post this here. When selling a car recently got this email : Good afternoon, ^^ Thanks you very much for getting back to me regards the purchase of your car and am very excited that you still have the car for sale.^^^^^^ Regarding the price of the car , i will offer you £8,250 which i believe is fair enough for the car if i am right. So are you the first owner of the car? and for how long have you been driving the car,i mean the mileages?because these are what i need to know before i could proceed with the purchasing of the car.^^^^^^ I want your response on the above questions^ so that we can wrap everything up in a short while as i am eager to take the possession of the CAR once the payment is fully CLEARED in your bank.I have a shipping company that will come for the pick-up of the car wherever the car is located in UK.^^^ Please Note that i agree to take the possession of the car only when the draft has FULLY CLEARED AND CONFIRMED IN YOUR ACCOUNT. So if you are ok with this kindly get back to me as i need to complete the transaction asap.. ^Thanks. paul Bern,Switzerland it's a scam . They send you a bankers draft for more than your cars worth. Banks will instantly show the money in your account . He then asks you to send the extra money to his shipping agent. About 1 to 2 weeks later the fake bankers draft bounces
  14. Hope it's not a "I'll send you a bankers draft" scam - watch out!
  15. I'd agree, after my supe I had a 330d and it was the most unreliable car I've ever owned. I consider lexus well up there with BMW and mercedes (who also make expensive supercars ). I certainly wouldn't consider lexus a casio
  16. the engine sounds amazing. I don't know if anyone read evo about it but apparently part of the idea behind it was to develop new technolgies which will later filter down into other models, Im sure they'll make their money back. I think tue ft 86 looks good too
  17. Could be but both of the normal cam breather exits are attached as normal and it's post turbo so would need some type of valve to stop putting the pressurised air into the cams - was wondering if it was for the idle control
  18. Sorry if this is a stupid question but I haven't owned a supe in a while. In this car what is the feed off the intake pipe just before the throttle body - not seen this before
  19. fantastic - far better than F&F 2,3 and 4!
  20. She didn't deny doing cartwheels and laughing on arrest - don't care how you deal with stress that's odd
  21. President Clinton in his 2004 autobiography, My Life, states (on page 156): "Just a month before, Apollo 11 astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong had left their colleague, Michael Collins, aboard spaceship Columbia and walked on the Moon, beating by five months President Kennedy's goal of putting a man on the Moon before the decade was out. The old carpenter asked me if I really believed it happened. I said sure, I saw it on television. He disagreed; he said that he didn't believe it for a minute, that 'them television fellers' could make things look real that weren't. Back then, I thought he was a crank. During my eight years in Washington, I saw some things on TV that made me wonder if he wasn't ahead of his time."
  22. I do find it a bit odd that with something as epic as landing on the moon the americans 'lost' the original films.
  23. Could I come and meet you tonight?
