Wasn't on was it?

Just had a look on autotrader and that price seems way too good to be true. Seems like those Imprezas are good for a few miles too : http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/CARS_popup.jsp?searchform=&modelexact=1&lid=search_used_cars_full&photo=1&state=none&sort=5&hassearched=Y&make=SUBARU&min_pr=75&source=0&model=IMPREZA&max_pr=&miles=40&agerange=&mileage=&postcode=po8%2B8hy&bodyid=0&fuelid=0&colour=&transmissionid=0&start=1&distance=34&adcategory=CARS&channel=CARS&id=200733106432559

That wouldn't bother me. Should it do? I can't think why that would be any more than a trivially minor negative point.

Bloody hell! Lot of car for the money. I'm almost tempted, it's a shame they're so damn ugly. Isn't Fat controller trying to sell his 06 one for like 16k ?

The first rule of Supra Club is you do not buy from SupraStore. The second rule of Supra Club is you DO NOT buy from SupraStore. The third rule is buy a Boost Logic or PowerHouse Racing turbo kit, or make your own up from selected parts.

You're lucky you don't have a Motec ECU then! £180 for a data cable anyone? (Which reminds me, I must send the one back that Gamer kindly lent me)

You grumpy old bastard Ernie!

Wow! vIFCV2spKtg

Some are fine, some aren't. The ones that aren't tend to dissolve pretty quickly. If in doubt whip the hanger out and have a butcher's. It'll only take you five minutes if you've done it before.

Not at all. I just thought it would be funny to have a good rant. As regular readers will know, I'm a right grumpy bugger and just about everything annoys me. You don't often have a chance to actually list it though. You're a fan Dog? Besides anything else his real name is Dwayne and he's 5'7'' but wears special boots that are built up on the inside to make him appear to be 5'10''

Fair enough then 22 pints though! Really? Blimey. I'm surprised you could find your PC let alone use it.

A link would help. Perhaps surprisingly to you, but not all of us have heard of the Scumball 3000 Rally. What does it involve exactly? The good publicity you mentioned; what, when, why, who, where etc? Throw us a bone here dude. As a side note, what's with all the smileys? Are you sure just the 16 was enough? Call me old fashioned but I'd gladly swap the odd smiley for an occasional capital letter here and there.

People that put the toilet roll on back-to-front, so that the paper comes off the roll close to the wall. FFS, how hard can it be to put it on the right way? Managers that time you when you go for a piss but leave Permies asleep in their chair when "it's pretty quiet right now" People that don't leave iTrader ratings for bad service. The price of petrol/beer/cigarettes in the UK. People that can't hold a conversation because they've got to stop and read/write this oh so important text message. Web sites that require you to make an account before you can see the page you're looking for. Anyone that uses the smiley and doesn't realise it makes them look conceited. PC fucking World The fact you can't buy decent trainers any more. People that still haven't turned their rear fog lights off 8 fucking hours after it was raining a bit on the way to work this morning. Anyone that drives around with their front fog lights on (even if it is foggy - you don't need them) you sir, are a prize wanker. Other people's kids. Cristiano Ronaldo Stonechips Artex People that wear hats while driving. People that think convertible/aerotop cars are cool Short daylight in the winter. Being cold. Being hot. Veilside spoilers. Chrome wheels. iPods Anyone with an eyebrow piercing. Men who wear jewellery. The fashion of having underpants above the waistline of jeans. People that watch Big Brother. F1 being on ITV Uneven tyre wear. Paying some mechanic/plasterer/tarmaccer/roofer/painter/kitchen fitter/twat good money to do a job you could have done yourself only to find he's a clueless wanker and you could've done a better job yourself. The fragility of floppy discs. Adverts on TV Adverts on web sites Estate agents Linux/Mac snobs who don't actually use *nix for a living all day long and have had quite enough of that shit for today thank you very much. Ridiculously easy phone-in competitions on TV all the bloody time. The people that apparently spend their own money phoning the ridiculously easy phone-in competitions that are on TV all the bloody time. I mean, as hard as it is to believe, there must be enough people that are actually stupid enough to phone in to make it worth the TV company's while to bore the shit out of the rest of us. Dog The Bounty Hunter. Scottish people that move to England because the pay/weather/neighbours/standard of living/life expectancy/everything is better down here, and then bang on about how lovely Scotland is, and Scottish people are, and then drive about in their shitty cars with Saltire/Ecosse badges/stickers on their car so everyone knows how patriotic they are, honest. People that use MSN Messenger and Internet Explorer even though you've told them not to but still ring you up to fix their PC each time they got another virus.

Me? No.

A wider look?

Auto? Manual? Pics?

To be fair, if I was him I'd have taken offence at the parts of your reply that I've marked in bold. You just don't talk like that to people whose cooperation you want. IMO it's no wonder the guy is being unhelpful now, I'd be exactly the same. Like you, I also hate people using multiple ?'s and !'s and text speak - but frankly, the world in general, and the internet in particular, is full of fuckwits that can't write anywhere near properly. You need to let it slide sometimes, especially when you need that person's cooperation.

Don't talk to me about bloody mapping! My car was mapped by Tuning Japanese before I got it but running like shit. I then had the map "fine tuned" by them in an attempt to get it running nicely (£870 !) I still wasn't happy with how it ran so had it mapped again by Dan Turner, from scratch mind you, because Tuning Japanese wouldn't tell me the password they had put on my ECU. (another £500 to Dan). Worth the money though - the car ran great. Then my PHR1 turbo bearings failed and I replaced the turbo with a larger one, so it needed mapping again (Not from scratch though just adjusting the Dan Turner map). This time I used Ryan G. He got the car running really well and improved the fuel economy a lot too. He's very reasonably priced as well. Basically, Ian C would be my choice for an EMB/EMU or Ryan for a standalone. I'd happily trust my car to either of them.

Yeah, we know. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?p=926433&highlight=a#post926433 and http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?p=1513111&highlight=a#post1513111

but doesn't a lettuce have 90+% the same DNA as the human body?

Moderation With Extreme Prejudice ACAB eh? j/k Dougal. Keep up the good work.

Short answer: No

For what it's worth Nick, just be thankful you didn't have to drive a (mph converted) Tiptronic Supra. The Trac on those is absolutely dreadful. It's easily twice as dangerous as regular TT Traction 'Control'

Oh! I thought it was http://www.iams.co.uk How silly do I feel now!
