  1. Angels & Demons Number one for me. Da Vinci next then Deception Point. Digital Fortress just not in the same league, didn't go much on that one at all.
  2. My hairdresser has a Mondeo. She comes to the house and charges me £7.50. I can live with that. Haircut's extra tho

    Mini Cooper S

    I test drove a S Works about 18 months ago when i wanted shot of my 182. Can't say i was impressed at all which disappointed me as I really wanted to get the 'Mini thing'. Brakes were awful compared to the Clio which would stop on a dime so to speak. Mentioned this to the salesman (VW garage to be fair ) and his reply was "Thats the trouble with brakes though isn't it? Sometimes they can be too good." Er.....hello.....?
  4. Ok, tis tricky but here goes. You will need: 1) Suitable Credit card with low balance transfers for life rate. There are some with around 4.99% at the mo. We shall call this card A. 2) An intermediary card which allows funds to be transferred direct to your bank, pref with no fee - Egg is a good one for this. We shall call this card B. Now, first you need to do a balance transfer from card A to card B for say the £1500. Card B is then credited with this amount and can be simply transferred into your bank at no cost. You now effectively have yourself a loan for £1500 at a rate of say 4.99%. You obviously need to make the monthly repayments to card A and this could all fall down as far as the interest being added on top each month, haven't really thought it through that far! lol
  5. Might depend on how you drive it as well. I pulled next to one the other day in the local Shell station. He glanced at my car in a kind of smug "i've got more cylinders and bhp than YOU" way. As i was paying he pulled out full throttle into traffic and had to stomp on the brakes roughly 200 yds ahead. As you can imagine i was well impressed.
  6. Glanza V Turbo. Depending what state of tune it's in, it's roughly around 900kg car so quite nippy.
  7. Clocked a GT3 RS last night. Red bits not blue bits. Gets my
  8. That is only f***ing 29..... [ QUOTE ] Yes, which is why I put 'any additions welcome'. I'm looking for contributions to complete the list! [/ QUOTE ] Whoosh.....did that go straight over?
  9. Outside there is: A Milkfloat A Golf buggy A Rover 75 A Rover 214 And my Integra Type R Yup, its a real petrolhead paradiso round here.
  10. I had the pleasure of some fartcan equipped POS, going past our place at 2.30am this morning. Supposed 20mph limit down the road..... Nearly every night is the same actually. They treat the traffic island like a chicane and than thrash it towards a mini roundabout about 30 yds on (so we get to hear the fartcan at full revs again) and have to jump on the brakes. Council yet to 'adopt' the road so no chance of speed humps or anything and the Police have a bout of cba. What to do? My current plan is either a Spoon N1 or Buddy Club exhaust and to take a trundle round to their houses at around 3 or 4am....
  11. I just love the sound of VTEC in the morning. Just under 9k rpm makes up for working on a Sunday.

  14. Thought i'd sign up and see what this place is all about. Normally found frequenting Honda related forums and the 'other' place.
