Interested, Silverstone, Brands GP or Oulton. Croft looks like a giggle but it's a bit far.

Yes but there isn't enough of them.

Leeds currently handles 2.5 million passengers a year, Heathrow handles 68 million - it's hardly a comparable project to get Leeds upto 100 million passengers, it'd be easier to start again, where on earth would LBI expand to? Heathrow is already gigantic by comparison, look at the size of them on google earth to compare.

It's bad enough just getting another terminal and a runway on an existing airport, but building an international airport of high capacity from scratch up north? Where would you put it? Where ever it goes it'll either need 10,000 homes demolishing or an area of outstanding natural beauty concreted over. It's got to have good motorway and rail links or you have to build those from scratch too, and you've got to supply electricity to the place - in a nutshell you would have to build a large town from the underground up. Good luck with that. The Greenies and Nimby's have no alternative suggestions and no constructive comments.

Valid points but it is a tool in motorsport to be the absolute fastest and driving with 100% commitment (and sometimes beyond). It has it's uses and is a fantastic piece of kit that should be used as an aid, not as a replacement for skill & learning. Members hardly ever recommend that someone ought to try an advanced driving course: http://pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=585115&nmt=Advanced%20Driving%20Links

They could well be a dedicated winter tyre, do they have a maximum operating temperature?

Will have to bookmark that page at the Melbourne GP so everyone can remember what the things look like as they trundle round in 15th and 16th.

On a related subject, my best mate had a huge cancerous growth taken out of his neck two weeks ago. The doc said to keep his blood pressure down as there isn't a lot of meat between his skin and his carotid artery and the big bad world. His wife has taken this to mean no sex or bj's. I said "but surely laying on your back thinking of England while she does the biz is less likely to ramp up the pressure than being hunched over a laptop while furiously shuffling the knuckles!". She's told him he can't do that either - "bet you bloody are!" - he looks at me like I'm mad and says ofcourse he is, 8 weeks alone & off work ffs. "Does she not see the reasoning behind this?" Apparently not. If you love him poppet, start sucking...

It's very rare to have a succesful water landing.

Is it definitely a one sided "he's a bastard" sketch? One thing I've learnt from various family, friends and collegues splitting up is that it's hardly ever a one sided deal.

Rothmans Porsche 962 was by far my fastest car. Stratt- get the Goodyears then drive it again, if it's still skittish then go to a specialist and have the dampers and bushes examined and check if anything has come undone. People recomend RLTC but imo if it's needed then imo a driving style needs to be adjusted.

Nick is spot on, the £ vs Y has tanked badly in favour of the Yen.

Am I right thinking this car had a fully built engine including bottom end?

He's taking the p***

F**K me, you have no idea at all do you.

The ones JP posted, by a mile.

So incorrect I dont know why he bothered writing the article.

Depends on your budget. Paul Whiffin has a nice black single for £14k iirc. That yellow thing is rancid, you couldn't give it to me as it'll cost a fortune to put it right.

456GT no way, it's a money pit. The F355 GTS though, now that is tempting, prices all over the place.

Sorry Imi, not in this case. Just to point out something related to your petition- you would be better to have a specific reason & specific sanction mentioned in that webpage. Edit- sorry again mate, I didn't see the 'more' hyperlink, the answer is still no. To the mods, I can't see how a discusion won't develop in this thread, so perhaps move it to members only away from google and the public eye?

The parts themselves are half the price, shipping isn't a lot and I'd still have to pay Muffleman £800 regardless of where I bought the stuff from- the labour is constant. If you read SF you will see some absolute steals (as well as chancers - good luck to them) in their classifieds.

You do know the US was Toyotas biggest market, with 12,000 cars sold, that isn't far rarer at all. Shipping isn't expensive and I don't see your point for labour- if you need it you need it, if you can DIY then it doesn't matter if it's JDM, UK or USDM parts.

1, I don't think there's that many in the UK, if someone could do a DVLA check I'd be surprised if the numbers were more than 4 figures. 2, Look at any desirable (modern) collectors cars, like various 911's, TVR Cerbera & Griffith, Lotus Elise & Esprit and BMW M cars, the mint stock stuff always command a premium over the spack chariots with bodykits and anything with any engine fettling has to have been built with the right parts and built by the right tuner/garage. 3. On the money. 4. Not as much as you'd think, on PH people think they are barges that don't handle and only good for motorways. I've seen "what car?" threads run to 20 pages with the Supra matching the OP's criteria to a tee but never mentioned once and if they are they are dismissed straight away. Start a thread and see for yourself if you wish.

I (and a few others) have decided the parts for a 6-speed conversion in the UK are hugely over-priced so will be purchasing from the states. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for capitalism and get the supply vs demand = price but equally I'm not throwing money away when the same thing is less than half the price overseas, even with the pound tanking.
