  1. Sean, may I have the Help For Heros reference number please for this (2009) event. Thank you.
  2. Moving house so clearing out everything, found a set of J-spec turbos I bought 4 years ago for a project that I never had time for. They came of a 60k 1993 BPU car & will need rebuilds as iirc Tubby2 died of oil starvation. If anyone wants them then they can collect them FOC or they are going in the the skip by next weekend.
  3. But they're so pretty.... Nothing makes a car look fast like a set of BFO brakes.
  4. Sad isn't it I guess the miles scare people off. Come on chaps give me some tips, I've seen this: http://pistonheads.com/sales/925933.htm and this will be the third M3 to slip from my grasp in two weeks.
  5. So Toyota would spend hundreds of millions of dollars and eight years of R&D to make a slower car than some little rot box? I don't think so.
  6. Insurance moves very fast, as Soop Dog points out over a six week period. That's just too fast for me and imo you'd need to be a trader or have time to watch the screens. Also if AIG is wound up they'll take a lot of people with them. We've got shares in Barcley's, at one point thy were worth quite a bit, as of 5pm yesterday they were almost worthless. If you've got some money that you don't mind losing they'd be worth a long term punt as Barcley's will probably be one of the stronger banks for a generation.
  7. Would it not be easier just to say that you like TSIII kits, as that's all you're left with once the naff-ness has been removed.
  8. Hi chaps, this is more of a tips and suggestions as you already have your Supras I hate selling cars, hate writing ads so quite crap at both, which isn't going to get the job done, so please have a read and advise how to improve! I'm aware it's done enough miles to get halfway to the moon (just shows it's reliable!) Please be polite and constructive. http://pistonheads.com/sales/901361.htm Thanks chaps!
  9. I work nights but on a night off and very much wide awake.
  10. I've always wanted a Joe Perry. Never seen one for sale before, how much does he think it'll go for?
  11. I'm yet to be convinced about singles and autoboxes, especially in regards to EMS, even the diehards always have a 'but' in their posts when advocating tuning cars fitted with the autobox.
  12. Christ this forum is going to the dogs.

    Ferrari 599XX

    That is stunning.
  14. Are you serious- the caravan is in their own front garden.
  15. This one is Mr Optimistic. The Deathsled has side exit exhausts. Easy mistake to make.

    Ferrari 599XX

    Wouldn't surprise me, even though the thing has been in development for 10 years and is probably due a facelift Toyota would be mad to put it into production when car sales are down 45% on average. Who is going to spend £200,000 on a Toyota Lexus in todays financial climate. Toyota missed the boat by atleast two years with the LFA, it's seemingly been on the verge of being signed off during that time.

    Ferrari 599XX

    Is ownership invitation only? I think you have a point regarding the F599/mkv Supra thing though, makes you wonder how the Supra would have evolved.

    Goodwin Pension

    Then the Gov shouldn't have ok'd the blokes pension. The chap is legally entitled to that deal, signed by all parties. His pot was £8bn prior to RBS, assuming he'd retire at 60. He was pushed out and forced to retire at 50 so his pension had to have another ten years of funding to meet the agreement that was signed off. Also remember that Goodwin forfeited some of his salary and bonuses as a goodwill gesture and asked Brown if that would be all and Brown said yes that's ok. Now six months later this arrangement doesn't suit Brown because the UK is on the verge of having it's credit downgraded from AAA and our national debt & liabilities is 150% of GDP AND a FSA whistle blower is not only going to kick a few bollocks next week he's going to face fuck a lot of people including Gordon Brown. I'll be amazed if Gordon doesn't resign after Moore has finished his closing sentences.

    Goodwin Pension

    You do know while Brown was still Chancellor that one of his advisers sat on the board of RBS while Goodwin's remuneration was discussed and OK'd? The financial media reported Goodwins pension would be £700kpa last October, but the Government has waited 6 months before making a big deal about this- why - spin, to cover up that Brown's time at the treasury has come back to bite the UK very hard on the arse with £1.5tr of liabilities (and this is growing with some insane Gov backed CDS for toxics). Also, Goodwin's pension has come from 25-30 years of working, not just the few years at RBS. Did you really think he started a pension plan at 45?
  20. Would they ever wear out though? I noticed during Le Mans nobody changed their pads.
  21. Second rally car sandwiches a chap into the dark saloon car. I'll be amazed if he lived.
