  1. Yes I checked and that's almost correct, it's the 0.5% bit that's linked to the RPI. They're grumbling about other things too like working conditions, but like many people have said before me this is a 'beggars can't be choosers' type economy we're in.
  2. They don't expect to get 5%. That's just their starting position for haggling towards what they expect to achieve, which might be 2 or 3% or perhaps less. What they have been offered is pay that is linked to the RPI which is currently negative ie a pay cut.
  3. According to this they are on over £40k per year.
  4. Are you using the same photographers as last year? I think they will be the best people to ask as they will know which positions and angles will work best etc. It's their job after all!
  5. Yes I just got one of the windscreen ones from Fastfilms. My video camera is pretty small and light, smaller than the ones they have in the pics on their website so should be ok I hope
  6. Did you try any club forums for other types of cars Steve?
  7. He's not ageist, the insurance companies are. And they have lots and lots of data to back it up!
  8. Won't the suction one work on the dash? I assume you've tried that and the answer is no. Maybe I should just duck tape it to the drivers seat headrest.
  9. OK let me check the condition of them and I will try and decide a price by Sunday night
  10. Would something like this be allowed? And would it be stable enough? It looks OK to me but I am probably being a cheapskate as usual.
  11. Unless you have carefully studied the details of the policy proposals of ALL the various candidates and parties concerned then how can anyone be properly informed as to who to vote for? I think that most people vote with their minds tuned to their own individual prejudices, hearsay and what they read in the paper or heard down the pub. Which makes a mockery of the whole process. As such I find it impossible to cast a vote on something that I feel unqualified for, so I don't vote.
  12. Depends on your car but over £100 for sure. I don't bother myself but then I don't insure anything unless I have to.
  13. It might seem obvious but open face are more comfy in that they allow more air and light in.
  14. Yes doing both would be a helluva weekend Lui
  15. Yes I have some, I just took them off the car yesterday. They are clean, about 2 years old IIRC. I was about to put them on eGay
  16. Read about medieval torture methods. Absolutely unbelievable what they did to villains in those days!!! The worst has to be the Catherine Wheel imo. Not a pleasant way to go.

  18. Good post. Some interesting quotes from one of the Mid Night Club members and his 186mph 600bhp 1978(!) 280zx and accompanying article: "Hiro does not have any interest in the specifications. He only has an interest in how fast it is. Also, he believes that proper tuning and the perfect fuel management setup is much more important than the sum of the parts." and "The cars at the Tokyo Auto Salon do not impress me," the Z's owner remarked with a nonchalant tone. "No matter how much horsepower they make, these (Auto Salon) cars will never impress me unless they are driven. Cars are meant to be driven." Take a close look at the front end of this Z - it shamelessly wears its battle scars with pride. Not only is this car driven, it is driven mercilessly."
  19. Sounds like someone nicked my car for the day
  20. Should it not be 'gripper'?
