  1. How about training videos/dvds? Just give it half the stick input that you think you need and you'll probably be right, as there's a delay. Just got to be extremely gentle and put training skids on, i.e. crossed dowels with golf practice balls on the ends so that it can't tip over while taking off and landing. One at the front too, if you can. Master hopping about the floor as already mentioned, then pirouettes and tail-in circles etc. low level to get the hang of wind directional effects etc. I can highly recommend these vids, though in common with others here, I have yet to fly my Kalt Cyclone (.50 size) heli and I bought it in 1990! Still managed to smash up the canopy though, knocking it off of the microwave! https://shop.traplet.com/product.aspx?c=255
  2. Hi and welcome! I also owned two MKIII's until 4 years ago, both white. A 1986 Manual NA and a 1990 Turbo auto. Christ did that thing shift! Loved the ECT and wish they'd kept it but hey, lovely cars to drive but not a patch on the MKIV for roadholding are they!? I just saw in your garage that you have 20" Jade R's! Left a comment to please put some more pics up as I want some of those myself but not sure of the clearances. They must look huge!
  3. Can we vote more than once? I can ask the guys on Cardomain.com in The States to help out as one Supra on there has had 987,000 hits! Perhaps if he put his car up and linked to the Top Gear site on his page, that should do it.
  4. Oh I get it now. Think outside the box. Went Kleenex over my head, that one!
  5. Well, you'll have plenty of time trying.......
  6. What if there is no death? Would that not make life more meaningful?
  7. Any particular colour? Hang on, your name is Neo! It is not the bumper that bends, it's your mind! Here you go http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Supra-Ridox-Front-Bumper-MKIV-Bumpers-/290452218696?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43a04d2348
  8. I'll second that! Beautiful creation! Best looking one on here. Just about my favourite colour too. 19" Team Dynamics Jade R's are also the wheels that I want to get but it's a toss up between gunmetal and silver though.
  9. Where's the fun in that? I only returned to it to watch the Butchy Kid videos I put on there!
  10. Life is what you make of it. There's an absolute, objective reality alright but you have the option of swapping it for a subjective one. It's your choice.
  11. I winked at the end, honest!
  12. Big questions demand big answers and since no-one else has stepped up to the plate, here we go. It's probably a rhetorical question anyway as there was no question mark but for those that care, the meaning of life is very simple and you already know it but you're conditioned to deny it by religious dogma; you're here to re-member who you are as Co-Creators with 'God', however you wish to imagine the source and whatever name you wish to label it. Not less than but part of and with the same ability to focus energy and create reality with your mind, since your mind is the same mind as 'God'. That's who you really are; an extension of the Creator or organising principle, implicate order etc. Matter is an illusion. A denser form of thought. Thought condensed, solidified, made 'real'. Thought shapes matter like a magnet. That's why people say that you 'attract' things to yourself. It's literally true! Seperation is also an illusion. Next time someone truly 'recognises' you for who you are and probably for what you've done for them/others, remember the feeling and how deeply moved you are; how connected you feel to them. All we want is recognition for who we really are! What do you think status is all about? The attempt to gain recognition, obviously. It fills a void somewhere inside. The problem is that approval is rationed out so thinly that we've forgotten what it feels like. Strict conditions are imposed on it's availability. Even on here, there are strict conditions for acceptance and we all have the same car! Occasionally in life, say after passing exams or some other test, we get to feel approval again but "Don't let it go to your head!" Some have received so little recognition and respect in their lives that they even delight in other's suffering and withhold approval as punishment or are abusive for fun as the only way to feel good about themselves. Their self-esteem is so low that they need to force everyone else even lower to feel better. So, if you're asking me and not just insulting me, I'd say try to become more conscious of your decision making process and be careful what you focus your energies on, as it may manifest sooner than you think. Question everything, always, especially the mainstream media. Turn off the damned 'Evening News' if nothing else!
  13. What's wrong, you got Spanish Flu too? Hey, what's the TW habit that you just kicked? Perhaps you were a Tupperware addict and you're suffering from withdrawal symptoms?
  14. "I was looking for a thread and then I found a thread.......and heaven knows I'm miserable now......... In my life, why do I waste valuable time, with people who don't care if I live or die?" Works for me.
  15. You already said that you'd wasted over two hours reading this crap so why punish yourself further by reading any further? There, changed my user title. Happy now? What did Rene Descartes ever do for us anyway?
  16. No change there then! You'd do well to. I'm not the one with the bright pink & yellow sign, asking for help.
  17. Sorry for another long post guys but hey Ian, what's your view on how this all 'came about' so to speak? I don't mean Clever Trevor's antics. That's an even deeper mystery unless it really was you! I don't think so somehow though. My brother thinks that it's all just a 'random accident', but the laws of physics prettymuch preclude random events or gravity wouldn't even exist. Nothing so coherent would or could. Even chaos has to be based on cause and effect at some level. At what point did someone decide that the laws of physics would limit the amount of energy in the Cosmos and doom us all to live in a closed loop? That can only happen if this were a part of the whole and not the whole. Therefore, there is much more to it than meets the eye, as theoretically atleast, the energy source must be infinite. If not, why does there have to be a limit to it? Because we can't imagine or accept infinity as a concept? Yet again, I digress. I visualise chaos like Brownian motion or how a gas behaves; seemingly random and utterly chaotic from our perspective but simply the collision of countless tiny molecules or particles, the properties of which, if they were known, would make the entire Universe predictable into infinity but for one thing: the organising principle or consciousness that bends and shapes what we laughably call 'solid' matter. This is what gives atoms their nudge, I reckon, so that they collide non-randomly toward order. Gravity, if you like. The Matrix, magnetic fields, the mind of God, even. Either way, that which decides, guides and then collides and ultimately, provides. To say that God doesn't exist is like saying that the sum total of all that is, actually isn't, since that's what 'God' by definition, must be for it to be of any authority, for want of a much better word. Perhaps 'objectivity' or 'complete awareness of itself'. It must be everything, (including that which it is not). I guess that your reasoning is that God is a similar creature to us and can't exist because 'he' wouldn't allow such suffering etc. being 100% good and all. People believe the bit that says that He made us in His own image and then use this as the excuse to deny His existence because of what we think that 'He' would be like. Fascinating cognitive dissonance. Talk about a selective memory! That's what most people get hung up on; some childhood Biblical Fairy Tale. Of course God doesn't exist if 'He' is supposed to intervene everytime we 'wrong' eachother, as clearly He doesn't give a Monkey's unless He's keeping score for Judgement Day to keep Himself amused. What sort of sadistic megalomaniac would do that? Why would a God worthy of the name damn His own children to Hell for all eternity? Malice? If so, I'll keep looking, thanks, not that I'm looking to worship anything or anyone. What God would demand to be worshipped? Would God need defending also? Yet people kill to 'honour' 'His' name. Cannot God take care of Him/itself? We insult God or Allah by assuming that He needs our help! So, having established that this storybook definition of God is hopelessly limited, absurd and invalid, we have to re-define what God is, since some form of intelligence had to organise this whole 'reality' of ours and they obviously didn't intend for it to be without purpose or pleasure, (see photos below, trotters or hoofs, whichever turn you on the most guys!). You can argue that it's all just logical progression, of course. The only way that it could have been and I'd agree. There's a mechanistic and predictable environment. It's the organic forms of matter that fascinate me the most, so called because they are organised beyond the norm, of course. We call them 'alive' or infused with an energy of a higher order. Intelligent, even. We call ourselves intelligent and yet deny our Creator this privilege, whatever form or formlessness it takes. Everywhere yet nowhere, or now here. Everywhere yet now here, i.e. all things simultaneously yet able to observe from a single relative perspective, that which it is. That's our job, by the way! Are you a fan of intelligent design Ian, as I'd like to find something upon which we can both agree for once?
  18. Ok, Cheers. I've found MKIII ones new on ebay but not sure of fitment. Never had an issue with my MKIII washers so wouldn't know and probably wouldn't remember anyway but bound to be the same exact motors.
  19. Speaking of which, anyone have a MKIV '93 NA front window washer motor or both f/r or a whole washer tank unit? How much do they retail new? Haven't asked yet as front motor is all that's busted. Top 'broke' off. Searched it and someone said that you might have one Chris?
  20. I motion to re-instate Trev's membership. All in favour, say "Aye!"
