  1. I guess it depends a bit on the water and what else is down there. I saw a video on you tube about an old crane that had been submerged in quarry clay for something like 50 years and really it wasn't too bad. You hear of stories of tanks being pulled from peat bogs occasionally in great condition...although I do conceed the body work of an old ford may be slightly less hard wearing than a panzer tank
  2. It would be cool to see some close up clips, I bet it can be rescued.
  3. Worked for me, limiting child tax credits to the first 2 children should have been done years ago and capping benefits to £20,000 is a good step. Nobody should get more for sitting on their ass than someone who goes out to work. Increasing the minimum wage whilst a interesting footnote isn't something I can see making much of a difference with the price of things these days, this needs much more of a boost to get away from the "I'm better off on benefits" culture. Fuel duty being frozen is good but already the price is getting back to what it was a few months ago. Also... • Vehicle Excise Duty is also being reformed. New cars will pay a variable rate, but beyond the first year, drivers will pay £140 in tax on most cars. Drivers are exempt if the car has zero carbon emissions. Hmm no savings buying a nice small economic car then?
  4. I would check the idle control valve and clean it out with carb cleaner, it's not too hard but a bit of a sod to remove the screws. Are you sure your coil packs are ok? I had a problem on the old one where it would die when speeding up and eventually it died altogether. If it's still revs ok I would check that control valve first.
  5. Yeah that should not have failed the MOT, I passed at least 3 MOTs when my old electric seats did not move forward or back. There are plenty of cars out there that have fixed position seats,
  6. Pretty much anyone 'fleeing' to the UK is not running in terror, they are economic migrants. If you are genuinely seeking asylum then you seek safety in the first safe country you come to, not travel across Europe.
  7. Get one made up in stainless steel that will be exactly what you want, I wouldn't want deal with mild steel exhausts again.
  8. Are they actually giving out keys when they upgrade you? At the moment I have chosen to update my 2 microsoft tech net 8.1 installs and my work 7 install but I'll probably yoink the work key for my own ends each to a seperate email address naturally. What we really need is a 64bit Windows 2000 (the best OS Microsoft ever made) with updated disk support, direct X 12 and all the other goodies.
  9. Hmmm, is the access point still configured to dish out IP addresses via DHCP as well as the BT hub? could be a conflict.
  10. I decided to downsize a few years ago to a micro ATX PC and case as really the only expansion cards I would use are a graphics card and maybe a sound card, plus I just wanted something to mess about with . I'm happy with how it turned out but having a smaller case makes it trickier to hide cables and route all your water cooling stuff. Got to think outside the box, literally, here's my current attempt, not finished yet though.
  11. What have you started You will now be looking at how to hide all the small cables to keep everything looking neat and tidy, I don't have a window on mine but it's still an ongoing battle to keep everything neat. I would look into getting a Nvidia water block from overclockers, I picked up mine for about 75 quid or so if I remember, I have it overclocked from 1218MHz to just over 1500, gives a nice boost and makes things look a lot neater and keeps it quiet, well worth getting but check if your card is a reference design.
  12. Even if it rains...you will get sunburn! It's tradition.
  13. From the pics it really doesn't look that bad. My car is in for a respray at the moment and the paint was a LOT worse than what you have there. I couldn't afford it either, just chuck it on the credit card and pay it off, that's what they are there for You can always get the bad bits sorted without doing a full spray.
  14. The veyron was a great technical achievement but jeez they all look ugly.
  15. I had this issue and it was the aux tensioner. Whifbitz just replaced the bearings and pulley on it which saved me a bit of money.
  16. Always good to see freshly cleaned headlight dildos!
  17. I used to have loads of stuff downstairs, mainly old consoles and stuff but I had a big tidy up and just have a PC for gaming with a 360 controller, a 360 console that never gets used and a modded xbox classic which along with the PC takes care of all my emulation needs replacing the snes, master system, Saturn and everything else I had plugged in, so much neater. I might get a newer console at some point but if I do it will probably be a WiiU, the 360 and PS4 are nice but with a PC you pretty much get everything anyway and cheaper so when they drop a chunk I will look into it.
  18. Ah good news then I usually arrive with my 2nd cat fitted inside my boot, technically its on the car.
  19. VLC Media player should play those, it plays pretty much everything. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.en_GB.html
  20. From what I have read here over the years 600 - 700 seems to be what a lot of people say. 1500HP would be nice but in the real world and particularly in this country 6 - 700 would probably get you down to do the Tesco big shop that bit quicker ,
  21. This is going to look great when it's done, a car I have always wanted, such a cool shape. Sounds like you are going all out on a propper job for this one and it will be well worth it when you get it back.
  22. Does western union do any legit business? I thought it was only used for crime.
  23. I think it still uses rockstar social club like GTA4 on PC. I'm out
  24. £1600!?? spend a lot less on brand new seats!
  25. Everyone will have their own optinion, whilst I like the look of a stock car I also think the front bumper looks a bit... "90s"
