    Royal Mail

    I think they get an unfair press. They deliver tens of millions of items a day but they will only ever be criticised when some are lost or delayed. I have sent more than 200 items this year by Special Delivery guaranteed 1.00pm next day delivery and every single one of them was delivered in time, including ten this week which is likely to be one of the busiest of the year. I don't know if any of their competitors would manage that at £7 a time
  2. Thank you, good practical experience. Had I been successful in buying I would have been in at about $2,000 so I've missed out of a five fold gain in a few months, but I would have probably sat on my hands as the price came down just as quickly!
  3. Out of interest have you sold any assets, converted them back to "real" currency and withdrawn those funds? I tried investing several months ago and Coinbase wasn't functioning properly due to high volumes of transactions. I wondered then that if you couldn't buy at times of high volumes, was there a risk that it would be just as difficult to sell when the time came if the exchanges were equally busy. And even if you managed to sell, was there a risk of funds not being released. As I understand it Coinbase and other exchanges are not regulated by any authority we would recognise.
  4. Agreed, I have one that I used for one winter. It is here for free for anyone that will pick it up.
  5. 40 miles last year but 5,000 this year and love every minute of driving
  6. I cannot be sure, but I think that is my old car. I bought it from a garage that imported it in 1999 and sold it in 2005 for less than £4,000. Another great investment decision!

    Tyres

    Ive gone for it and lets see what the fitter says. I have got a pair of PZero Rosso A's for less than £400 which looks far too cheap. That's £100 per tyre cheaper than a lower speed rated tyre, The PZero Rosso

    Tyres

    I need new tyres. The rear are a little wider than the average, 315 30 18. The range of tyres available is limited but all the online tyre sellers offer tyres of that size, typically Pirelli and Michelin. However they are all stated as being for specific cars, mostly Porsche. I have spoken to the customer service of one who tell me that they will sell me the tyres but that I would have to sign a disclaimer stating that I acknowledge that I am purchasing non-compliant tyres and I am waiving any right to claim if as a consequence they don't perform. Does that all makes sense? Is there really that much difference if the tyres are specifically designed for one car make? I cannot find any tyres of that size that are not make specific. Any insight would be helpful' particularly from anyone who is running "non-compliant" tyres. Sorry, just noticed I've put this in the wrong section!!

  10. That's the first time I have seen this site. It says my car was manufactured in October 1993, the import paperwork says November 1995.

    UWCB Event

    Good to watch. We were real men though, we boxed topless; except the ladies, they weren't men and they wore tops.
  12. Fair play to him to own up and show the results of his good work

    UWCB Event

    Well done; winning is best I'm sure, but taking part is an amazing experience.
  14. I've never understood the need for a name; its a car, a great car of course, but just a car.
  15. And make sure you text or email him the offer

    UWCB Event

    I did one in April last year and there are several others on here who I'm sure will make themselves known. My only advice is just train as hard as you can and enjoy it on the night. As already said try and control the adrenalin, some of the others blew themselves out in the first 30 seconds. No one learns to be a boxer in a few months, the best you can hope is that your opponent has learnt less than you and hasn't trained as hard. I found the training brilliant and have continued to do it even though the likelihood of me being matched again are zero. I loved every second but was easily beaten, my opponent was half my age, six inches taller and a much better boxer. My only concern was that I couldn't give as good a fight as he deserved, but as an experience it is unbeatable. Herol Graham was a guest on the night in a crowd of 3,500. He confirmed I had no future as a boxer but I did point out that he three years younger than me and retired 20 years ago.
  17. I would love to be sitting with you and McGregor when you tell him he's from the UK
  18. Got mine from Keron, delivered next day and all good
  19. I like what you did there, a bit subtle for some

    Sold

    Is this off an NA or TT? Mine gave up over the weekend and I am looking for a TT replacement
  21. Thank you for your help. They are just too big for my set up as well. GLWS
  22. Always happy to demonstrate my ignorance. I am looking for 245/40/R18 tyres because that is what is on the car at the moment. I don't know the significance of the difference between that and the tyres you have, can anyone help?
  23. So a guess of 5500-6500 would be in line with your hopes then? I wonder how many other Supras on the road have budget rear tyres?
