Yep. Just turned ZA off completely and they worked again. Now, where do I find these options......

"Play Animations" is checked in ie6 but Firefox doesn't have this option. Won't touch SP2!

My OS is XP. The browser is Mozilla Firefox, but I tried IE6 and they don't work there either. Thinking it could be ZoneAlarm Pro as I downloaded it recently.

Any ideas what I've done? None of the animated avatars or smilies are doing anything any more on my PC.

Just saw this in the flesh as Alex drove up behind me in Norwich on my way out tonight. Looks sweet! get a number plate!!!

Bobbeh, you really need to spend a day in court!

All the bits from Toyota (excluding the extra guide that goes down to the turbos, totally separate from the scoop bits) come to about £135 from memory. That includes the mesh, nuts and bolts and the metal & plastic guide bits that are actually fitted to the bonnet. Did mine last year.

I absolutely HATE olives! Especially black olives. I remember the last lack olive I ever ate as it waved goodbye to me on it's way down the plughole in August 1984. ......strangely enough that was also the last night I drank vodka.....

I'm pretty sure they are the same as the UK ones. Your Toyota dealership should be able to get them within 48 hours. I got one last year. They are about £33 each though!

I've had a number of Auto's in the past including and FTO, Porsche, Corvette, Mustangs etc. etc. and within 6 months I've been bored of them all. Then I went looking for a Supra. The one I finally decided on buying was absolutely mint and I just couldn't leave it on the forecourt as I would have been hard pushed to find another in that sort of condition.....but it was an Auto too. I thought I'd forgive it that as it was in such great nick. Now I'm on my 4th Supra Auto. We currently have a GZ Aerotop (which obviously HAD to be an auto), but also have a RZ hard-top auto. The money I've spent on Supras in the last few years could easily have seen me in a 6-sp. I might try one one day, but it will be a case of buying one to have alongside my GZ aerotop to see if I can live with it. I won't sell that one! Just don't expect the Supra Auto to be like other autos. It's much better than that!

Did I notice when I browsed this Jap Performance article that they referred to the MKiv as a 'JZA70'???

A sadist, a masochist, a murderer, a necrophile, a zoophile and a pyromaniac are all sitting on a bench in a mental institution, bored out of their minds. "How about having sex with a cat?" asked the zoophile. "Lets have sex with the cat and then torture it," says the sadist. "Lets have sex with the cat, torture it and then kill it," shouted the murderer. "Lets have sex with the cat, torture it, kill it and then have sex with it again," said the necrophile. "Lets have sex with the cat, torture it, kill it, have sex with it again and then burn it," said the pyromaniac. Silence took over... then everyone turned to the masochist and asked: "So, what's it gonna be?" To which he replies, "Meow."

Not to mention someone those guys used to work with!!

They want a hand chopping off!

That's better! Blonde moment! (ducks punch from Angie...) Yeah, erm, I just thought I should remind everyone of it in case they'd forgotten.

Railroads Does the statement, "We've always done it that way" ring any bells? . read to the end...it was a new one for me The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them in England, and English expatriates built the US Railroads. Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used. Why did "they" use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing. Okay! Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England, because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts. So who built those old rutted roads? Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (and England) for their legions. The roads have been used ever since. And the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing.. The United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. And bureaucracies live forever. So the next time you are handed a specification and wonder what horse's ass came up with it, you may be exactly right, because the Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the back ends of two war horses. Now the twist to the story When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory at Utah. The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains. The SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds. So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass. .... and you thought being a HORSE'S ASS wasn't important! Maybe I will amount to something yet.

Good to hear this Rob. I can't imagine what it might feel like to get that feeling like the ZX7 (If I remember correctly?) would have given you in the past. It's been a while, eh? Enjoy it mate!

Ermm.....theft was one of the risks he'd have been insured against. Who elses' insurance is gonna pay??? You can bet the thief ain't got enough cash in the bank to sort it out. Glad the car turned up. Such a shame to see it like this though mate. Hope things turn out alright.

Anyone seen the i-mob system> It does all the stuff Merckx's does, AND you can issue a HALT command to it so the next time the car comes to a standstill at a junction or whatever, the engine cuts out and won't re-start. It can text you its' GPS co-ordinates, etc. etc. and contacts you the moment something happens to it, like if it gets run into by another car etc. http://www.i-mob.co.uk I'd be interested to hear from anyone with personal experience of this system.

Part of the problem with your request, Bobbeh, is that we can no longer trust the borrowing figures or compare them, like for like with those of pre-1997. One smoke screen used by the current govt. is the PFI, or Private Finance Initiative. Labour will tell you that under the PFI, there is extra money available for things like our schools and hospitals. This isn't exactly true. Money raised under the PFI is not free, although it DOESN'T appear in government borrowing figures. Problem is, though, that it works like this: Rather than the Govt. borrowing directly, it avoids having this 'black mark' against its' own figures by having the private sector borrow on its' behalf to pay for projects up front. Then, over the next 30 years or so, the govt. pays the company back. But in the end the money all comes from the tax payer. Then there's the rapidly growing balance of trade deficit........ Statistics, eh?

'Our Tony' keeps banging on about 'lowest interest rates for years, lowest unemployment for years, highest standard of living ever, everyone has more disposable income' etc. etc. But if our economy is in such great shape, how come the government is having to borrow more than ever?? Are we being conned? The negative campaigning pi$$es me off too. Especially the '15 years ago' stuff. In the early '90's we were in the middle of a WORLD recession. It wasn't just the UK that was getting things bad. When 1997 came around, things were on the up in most of the western world. Labour inherited a Rolls Royce economy and would have had to be pretty inept to screw it up. So things have seemed fairly good for a few years now. But what will happen when things get tough? I'm not sure that the conservatives will handle it much better to be honest, but I have lost soooooo much faith in this government I just can't bring myself to vote for them. Even on a personal level, the Blairs don't get my trust. Remember Cherie (ugh!!) and the incident with the Australian businessman/conman? She denied all knowledge until someone actually obtained irrefutible proof that she knew what was going on and placed it in the public domain. Suddenly she was on TV, tears and all, saying that she had lied to try and protect her family etc. etc. It seems that they will lie through their teeth right up until the point that PROOF shows them up. I'll bet Cherie (ugh) tells all her clients to say 'No Comment'! And as for pandering to Sinn Fein/IRA, well don't get me started on that one!!!

As everyone says, it's the converted speed signal that is mssing at the cruise control ECU. The limit on this is 110kph, so when it gets the converted signal, your new cruise limit should be around 110mph.

OH NO IT DIDN'T!!! You meant to draw it that big! (Honest everyone....she did!!)

MFS's is a bit good! Here's my happy piggy! http://drawapig.desktopcreatures.com/gallery/large.asp?id=82810&p=0&hof=0

If you want diesel, they take your wife as payment. But hey, diesel's always been a bit cheaper!!!
