    Babies names??

    Christ alive mate how could you shortlist Joel with your last name? Know how you feel, I have a short & sharp German last name and picking a name for my son was a nightmare (mainly because all the good names were taken) so named him George, as my Grandad had finished with it 10 years ago.

    Babies names??

    We absolutely hammered a Benjamin at school, called him Benjamina until he cried (even at 15!) though to be fair he was a weapons grade plank.
  3. Who is a better driver, the guy with 18 2nd's or a guy with one win and 17 dnf?
  4. It all costs money though. I've always wondered why the government didn't nationalise Rover and make it's own police and service cars. The amount of meoney the UK spends on cars must be huge and ofcourse they could have sold these things to other RHD countries. Could have been a nice little cash cow.

    for sale! Cat

    Go on then, the dog hasn't had his dinner yet...
  6. I can't imagine it'll be an easy 19 years, cons read the papers and watch the news, I would guess this bloke will be in for a very hard time in prison, but otherwise yes, the justice system is screwed, the bloke should be locked up for the rest of his days.
  7. I think the price difference between the manuals and autos is not enough yet to make it worthwhile to buy an auto to do the conversion however when I bought mine I noticed all the good manuals were being snapped up very quickly and the ones that didn't were not worth buying to put right in the first place.
  8. I should think the bulletproof vest manufacturer would have various checks and codes for different models and specifications though this did happen with a satellite when the Europeans measured in metric, the Yanks in imperial and built half of it each. When a train driver cocks up it doesn't take long for people (including his employers) to hang him out to dry. If you choose a profession where there is a high chance of somebody being abused, raped, maimed, paralysed, burnt or dying if you cock things up then you have to be prepared for people, regardless of being armchair experts or genuine vocational experts to start pointing fingers in your direction. This goes for many occupations but social work is at the sharp end of this blame and shame culture due to the nature of the work & it's victims.
  9. Lets be fair, if a social worker effs up, a child dies. If a desk jockey effs up then that paperwork doesn't get the accountants on time, nobody dies and no one is injured or scarred.
  10. About £3k all in isn't it for the conversion?
  11. 6% tranny losses? This Supra iirc is a jdm car that has had a lhd conversion from a euro-spec car (firewall, stearing assembly, dash) but to be fair it's a bit of a triggers broom as only the chassis, body frame, engine and gearbox castings are original.
  12. Same here. Trouble is that this wouldn't be solved by yoga but a sub-machine gun.
  13. Given the LFA had a knackered diffuser and a few other broken bits it did very well.
  14. Put it this way, that's a full lap (flag to flag) including a large portion of the GP track in a similar time to that T78 luminous green single Supra from the bridge to the gantry- about an extra 3 miles. BTG would be low 7's I think.
  15. I do find it VERY interesting that with the amount of AEM vs HKS vs the new big thing arguments on this and other forums, a lot of race cars use a Motec. How much is a Hollinger 6 speed sequential box btw?
  16. That Opel Corsa wasn't exactly slow out of the mini-karrosel in the first video was it!
  17. I'm probably the other silver one. Isn't the black car owned by Penguin?
  18. But ours is also losing value very quickly. In July it was $2.02 to the pound, now it's little more than $1.53. Also the Yen is going up fast, Sony will be bumping their prices up by 30% in January. This alone imo will crush all but the few jdm importers in the UK who have a cast iron reputation.
  19. Good Lord that is hugely fast. The difference between a fast road car and a race car like this is staggering. It looked very twitchy and difficult.
  20. F*** me have you seen this guy's pension? £522,000 then index linked £85,000pa - for 34 years service!
  21. It'd be cheaper for us to supply each ship with a pair of Gatling guns & missile launchers. The carriers oppose arming their own fleets and would rather re-route via the Cape of Good Hope and pass on the 30% extra needed for motion lotion to the consumer.
