tbh i like graffiti ART, i think it great, what i hate is tagging, and on that side i agree with sam, and it looks shite but real graffiti i am very much a fan of and the very talented artists that produce this art are weight down by the tagging image and being put into the same class as taggers when they arnt

you should be able to find one somewere and as for selling it yuse be suprised, i would consider buying it off ya as i need a new shifter and my wheel is a little tired but i have the power supply etc

ah ok, well if you come along the south bank look out for us and come say hi, we may even have a brew on

im gonna be at the btcc next week too, down on the south bank with my 450d and new 55-200 lens, if you see a guy with a dslr near a burgundy colour renault scenic that will be me

Quote from SamH :

If you use Nikon Pro kit, sure thing!

I dropped my old Nikon F4s on a tiled floor once, from about 4ft. That was really expensive to fix. Who would have thought a tiled floor could be so expensive to repair!?

Yeah, sorry DWB. Pentax wouldn't be out of the mix, it's just that I've never had a chance to check one out. I'd like to find one just to check out.

At least it isn't a Sony . I don't care if the Sony dSLR is the cat's meow, I boycott anything Sony after my experience of everything I've owned Sony since my fantastic original 10 disc CD changer I bought in 1990. Every Sony product since then has been complete garbage.

As for the 450D (I am trying for the non-american name, I think this is the XTi), I think my little Fuji superzoom felt more solid than that thing.

It would all come down to feel and ergonomics (I sparked a big and very good discussion about ergonomics and "buy the one that feels right" on the photography forum) as they all pretty much compare excellently with shot quality wise within their respective classes of camera.

well you say they aint built well but i have dropped mine from my dining room table onto a concrete floor with only a thin carpet on(no underlay), it made an almightly thumb but the camera was fine and the lens is a litle bit damaged but still works fine. so ide say they are actually quite robust. and i can see where you coming from with sony, the only thing of theirs i ever buy are playstations

go for the 450D lol none of that nikon crap :P and the d90 has a direct competitor coming in the shape of the 500D

lol dwb that lens is tiny, and the little lens cap is sssswwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettt (jeremy clarkson style)

im choosing to go into mechanics because it is somethign i enjoy and am resonably good at. ok its not greatly paid but ive seen too many people take well paid jobs and be extremly unhappy

air bags tbh are a huge -1 from me, no point in having them in lfs and just waste coding time that could be better spent on your other suggestion because brake temps and therefore fading brakes are a huge +1

yh if you have the option jump starting is the better option but what i was saying is that if the need were to arise you can do it without too much trouble.

and theres not much to laugh about with astra g's, there decent cars, only thing to watch depending on the engine is the ecu

Quote from morpha :

My car's manual clearly states that bump starting is NOT fine. I don't know the internal workings of a catalytic converter but I'm not going to ignore what the manufacturer says about the product, especially not based on the personal opinion of someone I don't even know. If that makes me a moron in your eyes, so be it.

And, if I may ask, how do you know your cat is still fine and doing what it's supposed to do?

its all to do with them covering there backsides, there problem is with unburnt fuel and tbh if you dont take forever to bump it it will be fine. at the vauxhall garage i work at they are forverer bumping cat equiped cars

lol sam

today, today, today or today?

i rekon it was today

ohhh i like those sam

number 3 is my favorite and as useual im not quite sure why but there all great

evey put any pics on here: http://www.photoanswers.co.uk/Gallery/

tbh having to call the rac out cos you battery is dead and just needs a jump and a decent run is a bit embarasing and a waste of time when you can easily do it yourself in a couple of mins

as for jump leads unless your trying to use them to start large engines you dont need anything heavy duty. one thing with jump leads is that its a good idea to connect the negative to the engine block, this is to stop the battery exploding cos a spark from the jump lead has ignited hydrogen coming fromt he battery, although i never do and it is a rare ocurance it can happen. starter/jump packs are ok but in some cases they wont start some cars and are a bit bulky.

one thing i will say is dont go anywere near these start through the cigarette lighter socket systems cos they either put a low current through and take ages or push the electrical system alot and still take a while before there is enough charge in the battery.

other stuff to keep in the car are things like first aid kits, warning triangle, possibly hivis jacket but mainly a wind up tourch with a mobile phone charger integrated in it

we have been known to go further, on the london to brigton land rover run we took a whole box of tools incase we came across a sticken classic landy or something lol

for once, I agree with you. It's fantstic, but wouldn't it just get washed off right away?

but that isnt the point of it, its like the guys who do art in the sand on beaches, art for arts sake

i dont have a usual thing for breakfast, had a packet of crisps thius morning, as im home all day i tend to eat what i want when i want it

to get a car that dirty isnt hard, you just have to use your imagination

lol the is a sinclair spectrum, mega drive and a game gear kicking about out house along with a 'fat' ps2 and the ps3 plus a wii and yes they all still get played on, olympics on the spectrum is hilarious

lol dunno if they would with mine cos its over 2 years old and has been open a couple of times now trying to fix it, if they still do after that wohoo

and no i havent emailed em yet, will do tonight lol

have just reconnected it after having it apart and now 1st,3rd and 5th register fine but it registers all bottome gate gears(2nd 4th and 6th) as 6th gear.
