    Motorway To$$ers

    Ah, gotcha now. Cheers. In that case it sounds like he was one of those people that tailgates folks aggressively because usually folk just move over rather than get into a conflict.

    Motorway To$$ers

    I can't figure out he could have done this, to two cars I mean. Could you explain for me?
  3. Hi John, yeah I'll have to come over and check the place out sometime. How much do you guys charge to replace the stem seals without removing the head?
  4. "Caliper carriers"? Is that the right term for the bracket things used to fit non-standard brake calipers to a car? I know BMW use these type things on the M3 CSL, which has the same suspension and calipers as the vanilla M3 but larger diameter discs. How would one go about getting a set of these carrriers/brackets made up? What would it cost, just ballpark? Thanks.
  5. The one I did cost me less than £100. I got a radiator place to recore the (very) leaking heater matrix and refitted it myself. It's not a fun job but there's nothing technical about it and no reason it should cost a lot of money - unless you insist on buying a brand new matrix from Toyota parts dept.
  6. Blah Blah Black Sheep, have u gots ne wool n that?
  7. Definitely not an actual photo, as some folks on twitpic were suggesting. The RHS dash warning lights are wrongly proportioned. The slope of the gear lever panel just before where it joins the main centre panel is wrong too.

    Pantone help...

    That's odd, my photoshop is showing it as 2747c
  9. Nice one! You should definitely run it up the flagpole and see who salutes it. At work today one of the IT security specialist guys, a really decent and smart Polish guy called Sebastian, came to my boss with a suggestion we could try to solve a major problem we were having at the time. My boss said to him "I want you to take that and run with it." Seb looked really offended. I had to intervene and explain to Seb that my boss wasn't telling him to fuck off and actually thought it was a good idea. It seems that Bullshit business-speak doesn't translate very well

    The Hangover

    Wasn't that film out aaaaages ago? I'm sure it was about three months ago I saw it. It was quite funny in places. Mike Tyson must be desperate for money to be in this film though.

    Topicalironical

    I'm far to young to understand that joke. In fact I've never even heard of chappaquiddick.
  12. Actually, it isn't. Not in the eyes of the law.
  13. It's a bastard of job. The spring clips take some serious pressure to get them opened up. I found I could get to the clip with some long nosed pliers but I couldn't get adequate power/leverage to hold the clip open long enough to pull the pipe off with my spare hand. I think I eventually closed the clip with pliers just enough, and just long enough, to get some mole grips clamped on it. And then it's still a struggle to pull the pipe off! Just the rubber hose on its own has some serious grip on the pipe. Just take your time and try not to get annoyed with it (easier said than done in my case). You'll get there.

  15. Lovely car! Don't go giving up the day job to become a photographer though mate!

    N/A BPU completed

    This gentleman disagrees with you ... http://www.suprastore.com/bpuwhatdoesi.html
  17. Good work on the first one Jacko. Looks realistic. I'm not a fan of gold wheels though, especially on on a silver coloured car - it just doesn't look right to me.
  18. Loving that you posted the same photo twice!
  19. They do come up for sale at a good price now and then. I paid £4750 for JamieP's black TT6
