  1. Got it from Sky, they said Reuters confirm, ohhh the drama
  2. They should always be eaten at room temp, better flavour Place them on a stick and BBQ with cracked black pepper and thick balsamic vinegar for a nice BBQ treat I like strawberries with clotted cream jam and scones
  3. Actual tank spec from web site http://www.juwel-aquarium.de/en/rio.htm?cat=4
  4. I was talking about the difference in the giant forced stuff and the field grown, I am sure the giant ones taste good, but try a UK field grown at the same time, I did this test with a few of my younger chefs to explain the need to understand your produce and the importance of provenance and local sourcing , the difference is stunning
  5. Giant greenhouse forced tastless strawberries I would go for the UK field grown, tesco finest are very good, can not beat pick your own
  6. Yes 125 litres a lot of details here to explain why these tanks are so good http://www.juwel-aquarium.de/en/aquarium.htm you would need more than a Supra to pick up

Roast the peppers whole in a hot oven until soft, wrap in cling film and allow to cool 2. peel peppers and de seed 3. puree peppers in blender until smooth and add to mayonnaise with lemon juice TO FINISH DISH 1. Pan fry crab cake in a little olive oil until golden, finish in oven if required 2. dress salad leaves with French dressing and season 3. drizzle a little red pepper mayonnaise on the plate with a ball of salad 4. finish with the hot crab cake and serve
  8. Worth taking them off and giving them a good clean, does sound like a duff battery to me, you can get the battery checked to make sure with a drain down test
  9. FISH and CHIPS lets start with an easy one 1 think cut cod loin boneless and skinless 250g Plain flour 1 pinch turmeric pinch salt pinch cracked black pepper 200ml ice cold Newcastle brown ale 2 king edward potatoes Tartare sauce 1 lemon Sunflower oil for frying 1. heat oil to 150oC 2. peel potatoes and cut into thick chips 3. blanch in the 150oc oil until soft (about 5 mins) with no colour remove from oil and put to one side, turn up the heat to 180oC 4. dust fish in a little flour and seasoning 5. whisk the ice cold beer and 250g flour with salt, pepper and tumeric until a thick batter forms (ice cold makes for a crisper batter) 6. dip the floured fish in the batter and place in the hot oil, cook for approx 5 mins until crisp batter, test with a sharp small knive by pushing into the fish, the tip sould come out very hot, then it is cooked 7. remove fish to the plate, add the chips to the hot oil and colour, this way they will be crisp on the outside and fluffy inside 8. serve with tartare sauce and a squeeze of fresh lemon Add bread and butter, salt and vinegar with mushy peas if you like its amazing what home cooked fish and chips tastes like !
  10. I have been with Sky for some time, they are a business after all and will quote based on their view of the risk, they have a good customer service IMO and have always been very helpful to me I change my cars very often and they also manage that process very well for me, giving refunds where required I am sure there ia a cheaper quote out there if I tried a bit harder to find it but I know with Sky they understand the Supra/Import market and that fills me with confidence should I need to claim Some of the conversations I have had with other insurance companies tele sales are a joke when it comes to Jap imports
  11. But what condition was Nells SMIC in, thats the point New for new on a BPU car a SMIC would be as efficient, fully ducted and lighter, add that into the fact it does not restrict the air flow to the rad
  12. But what condition was the SMIC in, you have not mentioned that
  13. only of use if your SMIC is knackered on a BPU
  14. Time for this to go in prep for the move abroad, full functioning and set up tank, been perfect for 3 years, has a new pump Has about 12 fish at present including 2 Clown Loach who are amazing to watch Come with spare filters and a cleaning kit Cost a small fortune from new Looking for £125, I will remove 50% of the water for collection and place in a tank for when you get it home Its will be heavy and will need a big boot everything you need included, lights, heater, filter system, fish and water !! Pictures found on post 5 of this thread http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=186226&highlight=fish+tank
  15. Cant type mate, just lit the pipe and got my slippers on
  16. I could bring mine if the club lets me Would be good to keep in touch
  17. Well just got it home after picking it up and I have to say I am so impressed with the drive and power, very happy indeed for a old car Will be having it detailed and a few bits and bobs, it has the original sat nav which is quite cool and even a video player in the boot along with a 12 cd changer All the electrics work and there is A LOT OF THEM !!!! I would have thought it would give a BPU Supra a good run for its money as the torque is awesome for a heavy car rubbish pics but its all I have time for
  18. sorry to hear this Dave, I am still finding glass in the Astra, its such a pain and the gits that do this dont seem to ever get caught Still I will be bringing the AMG to you soon and the bank of Dean will help you out again
  19. I ran a T04R on an Auto box, the torque broke the box in the end, changing to a 6 speed is the only real way to get the best out of a turbo of this size IMO
  20. Its having an MOT today then I pick up Wednesday
