  1. 0.7 bar is less than standard turbo pressure, so 401 sounds way too high!
  2. Apparent to you? Probably never. It'll kill you in your sleep.
  3. Is ye a pirate matey? Yaarrrrgggg. Can we keep him for a while please mods?
  4. Without wishing to jinx myself, I've had an 02 mondeo and it's a lovely car. Had to spend £80 getting the injectors reprogrammed and £200 on the rear subframe bushes which I knew would need doing, but that's it (had it just under a year). After driving the supra for 3.5 years it's like driving in a really comfy armchair, with everything you need within easy reach, exactly where it should be.
  5. Forge Pistons Forge Crank Shaft 1000cc HKS Injectors Looks like quite a nice clean car being sold by a lying git.
  6. You think right then. Take this as an (albeit very old) example from the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/377672.stm In summary, he died from one bite of a chicken sandwich. I wonder if anyone thought he was attention seeking? Now if you were that person and went round a friend of a friend's house for dinner, wouldn't you want to shout from the rooftops beforehand that you had a nut allergy, to make sure they understood? My sister has a nut allergy, she's been in hospital at least once because a restaurant waiter didn't listen when she explained that she couldn't eat nuts. Usually they tell the waiter, who then fries everthing in nut oil.
  7. We've got a nut allergy sufferer in our family, and while it's useful that it's been bought to people's attention (years ago I heard someone declare 'there's no such thing as a nut allergy, it's all in your mind), the histeria is just ridiculous and more about preventing litigation than it is protecting people. If you have a nut allergy and actually took the writing on food packets seriously, you'd never eat anything. EVERYTHING states that they 'cannot guarantee nut free', therefore rendering the whole thing useless. Might as well put 'might kill you, but if it does it's not our fault.'
  8. I had 3 (or 5?) mm spacers on the front of mine to fit my wheels over UK brakes, hated them with a passion. Had to put longer studs and ugly wheel nuts on to compensate and got a wobble through the steering wheel too - basically it destroyed my confidence in the handling. Given the same situation again, I'd buy wheels that fit 100% right, even if it meant waiting a lot longer for them.
  9. Well, everything else the police do to catch criminals. Actually they caught him because of a DNA sample taken when he was found guilty of theft....... In 2001, Wright worked as a barman at the Brook Hotel in Felixstowe before being sacked for stealing hundreds of pounds from the till, for which he was ordered to carry out 100 hours community service. It was a DNA sample taken at the time of that conviction which led to police matching samples taken from the dead women. He was put under surveillance by police before being arrested on 19 December and charged two days later. (from the BBC). In other words the system of storing the DNA of convicted criminals worked perfectly. You've picked a bad example there.
  10. No-one here is objecting to the ends the police can achieve with the technology, it's the means that's worrying people. Of course we don't want rapists and murders going unpunished, but to believe that a major, unwarranted invasion of privacy is acceptable because "it's for our own good" is very naive.
  11. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7764069.stm Good news IMO. I'm sure the 'if you've done nothing wrong you've got nothing to fear' brigade will think otherwise.
  12. You can start shaking badly when you're too hot too, it's your body's (rather stupid) way of trying to lose heat. At least that's what I was told by that NHS direct, they seemed very good.
  13. Free Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaake!!!!! *school teacher voice* I hope you made enough for everyone?
  14. People seem to be confusing accepted risk with unacceptable treatment. As much as I respect soldiers (who do a job I couldn't), being wounded whilst fighting in a war is a risk of the job - one that you accept when you sign up. Suffering sexual harrassment isn't part of the job and shouldn't happen under any circumstances. Yes, it sucks that not everyone gets the same compensation, but that's because it's tailored to the individual circumstances, it's not a competition.
  15. I didn't say in recent times, I said recently. So they’re not…. then? It’s been a long day, I really don’t understand what you’re saying there.
  16. Because two high profile cases have made it into the news recently? How about the thousands of cases that they get right? The severely disabled people that they help live a good life? The children who are removed from harm? Oh I forgot, they're paid through tax money so that makes them fair play.
  17. It's money muling by the sound of it - last I heard was that if you're caught, it has to be proven that you knew the money was from an illegal source to be convicted. Oh and if you took them up on the offer (which obviously you wouldn't), you're going to be dealing with some pretty dubious people who won't leave you alone should you decide to stop.
