In Burnley of all places is the sole importer of the Gumpert Apollo for the UK, so I get to see a lovely shiney blue one on my way to work

All I have is general second-hand advice, my mechanic teacher who has many cars ranging from sports to usual everyday cars told me after I was questioning in regards to tuning that the single best thing he has ever done as a first mod was an upgraded suspension system - coilovers first and good brakes...as well as getting all wheels properly aligned.

Sure you already know that though!

I never really watched Lost, when it was first aired everyone was on about it...kept up until series 2 or 3 then it wasn't a discussion point anymore, but from what I did hear...it kind of sounded like a jumbled-up random show in which the plot was thought up by a drunken mad man on wizz, but what do I know

Quote from danowat :

Small minded idiots preying on other small minded idiots fear of "dem damn immigants".

The said thing is seeing so many friends of facebook being sucked in.

The original reason the 'flag and football shirt' ban came into question was actually because the police thought it would reduce violence.

But as you said, small minded people instantly shouting 'it's the immigrants!!!'

The irony is my British-Asian friend was badly beaten up during a match in Euro 2008 by a group of lads shouting BNP, all because he was wearing an England shirt.

Fresh big track from Sub Focus!

Sub Focus feat Coco - Splash

EDIT

Same song without lyrics

I don't understand, how does a party that pretty much flopped in the election now become the key to choose who stays in major power?

Surely by public voting the Liberal Democrats should be completely out of the game, and if you work it out anyway there's 306 Conservative seats and 57 Lib Dem seats totaling 363 which tells me there's a majority that didn't want Labour to stay in power too...or am I completely just baffled trying to understand the voting system?

I come from Burnley in which locally Lib Dem won though so I guess it's not such a bad outcome for our people's view, but I'm still confused. I guess I'm just not political...or that our system is crap.

My brother is just adding little bits too it, slightly more definition in parts but I love it. Thanks for all your input, the finished (95%) is here:

No question, this is one crazy track!

Noisia feat. Foreign Beggars - Shellshock

Wait till the drop!

Quote from Fuse5 :

haters gonna hate,

Netsky's LP sounds all the same.
trololo.

It does, but it's a good sound...for now, until his new LP...which will hopefully be different.

Quote from Godzilla.cro :

Nneka - Heartbeat (Chase & Status Remix)

Awesome tune!

Listening to alot of Mistabishi at the moment for the pure chill factor, infact alot from the Hospital Records label.

Here's a tune you'll recognise from Forza 3.
Mistabishi - Talk Me Down
and a couple of other great tracks from him;
From Memory (Matrix Remix)
No Matter What

I can't seem to find another few of the ones I really like, one I think is the picture used for Colin McRae memorial dvd's, with his '99 impreza about 20 feet in the air...a bit lop sided.

The other is like the first, maybe an 03 or 04 impreza, but it's a closer shot looking at the back of the car as it slides out behind a hairpin and in the background is some mega scenery.

Make sure you post the end project.

Not been to see the project since it started off as just lines but Tom my brother has posted a couple of photos of the work in progress yesterday...he's a quick worker and is working on something similar to your original posting as I liked the photo, as my request he's changed the Scooby to an Escort Cosworth, as well as the perspective a touch.

The work in progress is currently on his blogspot.

Quote from PMD9409 :

I played MOHAA to death, was my first real FPS.

Damn I fancy installing it now... :S

"you mess with the best, you die like the rest"

Didn't spot a thread about this so thought I'd make one, so yea there's a new MOH coming out as you all probably know...looks very similar to Modern Warfare 2 in that it's on a very similar setting but looks more exciting than MW2 in the light that it's Medal of Honor which I personally always prefered online...my teenage life spent on Allied Assault and Spearhead :P

Anywho heres a clip showing briefly some gameplay and also the trailer

Some gameplay footage
Trailer

Release according to EA the fall of this year on the 360, PS3 and of course PC.

I found the skullcandys too bassy, the difference between more expensive headphones I find is usually less bass and more taught meds and highs.

Although not in-ear I would look no further than the Grado iGrado, apparently amazing neutral sound and I'm guessing quite fair priced, especially in the US.

I like the iPhone but I have yet to find it's features useful beyond the pricetag. I just want a phone that can text and call, so it's simple...the iPhone isn't for me.

The one thing that bugs me about iPhone owners is the fact that instead of saying "I will text him/her", it gets extended to "I will text him/her on my iPhone"..."I'll call them on my iPhone"....just say phone ffs!

Quote from JO53PHS :

This has happened to my Sennheiser headphones after about 6 months, but I do use them every day.. and night

haha how did you manage that! Well unless it's broken the wire that looks fixable sort of?

Beleive me if you had skullcandys you'd be on your fourth pair at least by now so 6 months solid use I'd consider very good.

I've had a couple of pairs of Skullcandy's now, and they broke within a month. I didn't rag them about, they broke at the jack point...can only assume when they were in my pocket the continuous movement broke the connection.

I have however had a pair of Sennheiser CX-300 IIs for going over 3 months now and the wire is better made, as is the jack...as it goes in an L shape but the wire leaving it is quite loose so it can freely move. It obviously works better than the Skullcandys and they sound much better through all the ranges too. They aren't as bassy but you can hear more ranges through the bass, so good compremise in my opinion.

I'd go for the Sennheiser CX-500s as linked for £15, they should be around £50. I got my CX-300s from play.com for £17, in HMV they were £40, bargain.

Thanks for your posts so far, I'm thinking actually I quite like the photograph Bawbag posted...I'm thinking a wee bit closer on the car, maybe a different angle (lower down) with the scenery remaining and change the roads to dirt roads just to get some dirt clouds....hmmmm

My brother in law is an illustrator and I want him to do a large canvas for me, he has a particular style I love and would rather harvest it than ask him to do something completely different.

I want a car of some sort on my wall, I was thinking something like this:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com ... 2918880062_0374641ce9.jpg

Rally related...but if you can recommend anything else...just when it comes down to it, my heads' kinda blank at the moment and he wants to start on it within the next 2 days.

I can't really describe his style so this is his blogspot. I will post the image once he's finished but because it's going on my wall I wouldn't mind a second opinion...and where better to ask it than here I thought.

Thanks in advance!

Safer is broad in one sense really; elderly drivers will properly be mentally safer than younger drivers but with age we become frailer...more vulnerable to drastic health conditions, our eyesight generally gets worse as so do our reactions.

Everyone has the potential to be a safe driver....AKA...use common sense and planning, but even the safest driver can have a lapse of concentration or a heart attack at the wheel.

I only agree mandatory health check ups, and eye tests when you hit 65+ every few years.

This game is looking hot to be fair, but the first Crysis looked amazing however I found it quite bland to play.

Nah they'll still have to honour what they agree in the T&C originally, the reason they have gone into liquidation is pretty much a direct "do this" from the Irish Financial Regulator which after reading what this;

Quote :

The Financial Regulator was established on 1 May 2003 following a government decision to set up the Central Bank of Ireland as the Central Bank and Financial Services Authority of Ireland

So as I see it, Quinn posed an indirect effect to Ireland's economy forcing a decision from this entity to close it's business in the UK.

Quote from Jakg :

When I renewed last year I did *everything* to get the cost down, such as swapping named drivers around etc

When my Dad got the quote for the insurance he put in 15kpa miles via a comparison site - I probably went over this in the first year so asked how much more it would cost to go up to 20k - they said £100. I asked how much to 30k - £100. I asked how much to 10k - £100. At this point I asked wtf was going on and they said there was no limit on my policy at all - if I added one they would "re-assess my risk" and so the policy would increase... The guy on the phone advised I should just leave it as any ammendment I make gives me a limit and I need to pay more...

Reminds me - need to see how much "for business use" would add to my policy...

Just reminded me today when I was quoting a woman's son, I normally say when we come out expensive try Quinn as they were our main competitors. She said she had already tried them as her other son was with them, however they have gone into liquidation in the UK so now are back to being for Ireland (republic) only.

It says on their website that existing policies are fine, I am pretty sure they still have to offer you a renewal but at what price I have no idea.

Heard this on the hospital records podcast, it's an awesome track...
