  1. Seen a similar programming the other day, council tenant bought his four bed council house for £150000 and immediately put it on the market for £1M+ and sold it soon after. Making a load of people on benefits millionaires almost over night. Unbelievable that the purchase of 'their' house doesn't come with very strict sell-on clauses. There was also the programme on two nights ago about a Romanian man who came over with his family, set themselves up with every benefit going before the family returned home and he stayed and continued sending money back home. He had a five year plan to send 40-50k in benefit money back to Romania to allow him to build his own house, once he had enough money sent back he planned to return home. He had sent 9k back and it wasn't even a year in yet. He couldn't understand the negative stigma attached to people on benefits, as he thought it was brilliant.
  2. Some friendly advice: Take fresh pictures of the car using a DIGITAL CAMERA, every single one of your phone pictures make the car look grubby/dusty/dirty. A car with this low mileage would be spotless and good pictures would reflect that. Currently the overall condition of the car cannot be seen in detail, this doesn't help when selling a Supra at the top end of the non-manual price bracket. GLWTS.
  3. Go for a revo remap on your ST, adds a huge amount of torque low down in the rev range. Easily pulls away from an NA supra, whereas before the remap the supra used to pull away slowly. Great little cars. My brothers one dyno'd at 220bhp with just a remap and did a 14.5 at Crail.

    Yeah you did well today, pretty consistent times from the few runs I seen you do. Car looked good as well. A high stall will get your 60 foot times down and easily see you into the 12's. The orange Wallace Evo was in a different league to everyone else there, absolutely ballistic.
  5. Also no address stated on their website. Which itself is very close in name to a previous well known trader(BCD). I've noticed they have also had a dig at a certain importer on their website.
  6. No experience of them. But using rubbish pictures isn't the best start. Front bumper doesn't fit properly along the bonnet or on the passenger's wing. I'd also want to see proof of that mileage as the interior and engine bay(especially) don't suggest it's only done 63k. 3300 miles a year, every year since it was new?
  7. I'm guessing you're fully decatted? Basically a puff of blue smoke every time you stop at traffic lights(for instance)? If so, sounds like the turbo seal, fairly sure that's what happened to one of my TT's and one of the turbos went fairly soon after.
  8. https://www.roww.org/ To be fair, I believe he did his fair bit without even looking for a mention. However, I'll not defend his acting or the circumstances in which he died. Or the way he dated a 16 year old at the age of 33
  9. Well looks like they are finally going to make a sequel. They have been running this Indiegogo campaign for just over a day and a half and they have already smashed their initial target of $2M dollars. If you haven't seen the first film, I recommend you give it a watch. Packed full of quotable one liners and silly jokes. One of my favorite scenes from the first film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXPeLctgvQI "Not so funny meow is it?"
  10. He's in Furious 7(Fast & Furious 7).
  11. He's going to be a guest presenter on one episode of this series of Fifth Gear. I can take him or leave him tbh, although he is utterly superb at man maths.

    2015 Mustang RHD

    Good video, loved all the "want me to drive" comments from the guys. Here's the original Ford Today upload in HD: http://youtu.be/3Nyr1Ao7iZA
  13. I'm afraid, if the cars been off the road a while then the plate is lost with the car. There's no way to get the plate off without a MOT and subsequent Tax and insurance. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Much more valuable plates have been lost in this way, so wouldn't worry much about this one.

    2015 Mustang RHD

    So the prices have been announced, from £28,995 for the 2.3T and £32,995 5.0 GT. Personally I think that's a fantastic price for a brand new V8 with 418hp, LSD, leather throughout, IRS, launch control, line lock as well as all the other features you would expect on a modern car. I think they will sell well, possibly really well if Ford do good Finance/Lease deals on them. Mmmm, V8 in Magnetic or Deep impact blue. http://www.ford.co.uk/ConfigureyourCar/NewMustang/

    NA Track car

    Oops, refreshed the page too soon and got a double post.

    NA Track car

    So are people still thinking this car was a "bargain" and "too cheap"? Hope it doesn't sting you too much to get everything sorted. Best of luck with the project, nothing beats driving it in anger. Once everything is fixed you'll be amazed at how fast it can corner, and the speed you can carry through the bends.
  17. 97.9p being reported at Morrisons in Whiteheaven. Asda and Morrisons have also announced a 2p drop scheduled for this week, down to 103.7p.
  18. The government will only lose out on the lesser 20% VAT figure currently. At £1.35 they were taking 22.5p in VAT per L, at 105.7p they are taking 17.6p in VAT per L. So they are approximately 5p/L down at the moment. Compared to the 30p/L loss that everything else involved has lost.
  19. We pay 58p (this is fixed) in fuel duty per liter, then we pay 20% VAT on that 58p, so before even starting on the cost of finding and retrieving the oil, then refining and transporting it we are already at 69.6p/L. With the price of petrol being 105.7p/L here, that means the cut for everything involved in getting the oil out the ground to the petrol in your car is 35p/L. Almost exactly half what the government are taking for every liter! Puts it into perspective.
  20. Awards season, it's the same every year.
  21. Nope, it was supposed to be an alternator. Original picture(from 4 years ago) here:

    2015 Mustang RHD

    Okay, here's the "typical Ford" interior, for those not looking at the gallery in the link: [ATTACH=CONFIG]194976[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]194977[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]194978[/ATTACH]

    2015 Mustang RHD

    Yup, drove a 2014 Mustang in the states this year and the interior was pretty poor. The new 2015 one looks much better, you can see it in the gallery here on the Ford UK site: http://www.ford.co.uk/Cars/FutureVehicles/Ford-Mustang Really like the look of them, whilst people are already getting down on the ecoboost engine, it's worth bearing in mind that this will be the same 2.3L turbo engine that'll be in the new Focus RS, so there will be no end of tuning options available for it. I'll bet more ecoboost Mustangs are sold here than V8's. I'll take mine in Magnetic grey with the 19" gloss black wheels please.
  24. Fair enough. Have you seen End of Watch? Great film, one of the best I've seen in the last few years. Also, how are you getting on with The Sopranos? My favorite series of all time, still unsurpassed to this day.
