I actually don't drive up people's arses as it happens, but you'd have to have some pretty decent brakes and tyres for your tricks to worry me if I did!

Braking would not be one of my 'tricks' but just to make you aware I have:

EBC 800c GD Front/Rear Disks & Yellowstuff pads
RBF600 Fluid
Goodridge Hoses
Michelin Sport 3 tyres

..... and probably Koni FSD Shocks & Eibach Springs on the front from next month (if I can get permission from her indoors).

Al ;)


Nice. I'm running standard discs, fluid and hoses, with Brembo four pot calipers, Ferodo DS Performance pads and Bridgestone RE050A tyres. Coincidentally, I'm also saving up for FSD shocks, but I won't be going for the springs as I don't want it any lower!


Brembo brakes ftw! Have them on the 350 (they came as standard on the Track model) and they're awesome.

Back on topic, tyres are too expensive here; if I want exact replacements for my current size then it'll be $1000 a corner....if not, the cheapest equivilant is around $400 a tyre, looks like I'll be using the rest of the rubber before changing.

My laptop tells me I've got 15 minutes left while I'm actually in the mood for sorting something I've been putting off, so I figure I'll use the second warning to dig out the charger. Second warning doesn't appear for whatever reason and the laptop goes into sleep mode as I'm typing, causing much cursing... My fcuktard father shouts 'Shut up!' from downstairs and now I'm even angrier.

I can't even go downstairs and shout at the decrepit old cnut because one of the neighbours is in... If I had the space for a punch bag I'd beat the living sh1t out of it right now. I just needed to get that off my chest... ;)

I like to think that if I was blasted in the legs I'd have the presence of mind to still reach for a gun, don't you? :lol:

I'm sick of getting nice and relaxed only to have some fly buzz past me, safe in the knowledge that he'll continue doing that :evil:

My cat takes care of them for me. Half the time she just has them in her mouth and they carry on buzzing but it's on mute so it's not so bad. :)

I think I'm going to have to invest in something that's small but deadly to the little scumbags, as I can't afford to nuke the site from orbit at present...

She doesn't start shooting bees out of her mouth does she?

:D

She avoids bees and wasps. Just tends to grab a fly, quite impressively, and lay with a quizzical look on her face everytime it buzzes.

Gah! I hate iTunes.

On my new laptop, I've managed to recover files from my old laptop's HDD, extract password etc for Firefox, get my old emails from outlook, and yet it's itunes that gives me grief.

Managed to deactivate the other computers the phone was authorised on. Then itunes tells me there's a new update 4.3.5, which I download and attempt to apply. After multiple failures, I've discovered I need to deactivate my firewall and AV software!?!? :evil: I swear Apple are more evil than M$ and Google combined.

So the firmware is restored but I've lost everything else. Managed to salvage things like contacts and bookmarks but everything else has gone. Which means the progress through my various games has been lost. Why is thing so frikkin difficult to use?!?

I think I'll leave things until the weekend, at which point I'll gather iTunes data from the old laptop and from the netbook to ensure I have all of my apps, music and videos back again.

You should have copied the backup data from the users directory to the new machine and it would have worked fine

I guess he's on about a PC coz it's dead easy on the mac? But yeah the user folder holds it all on both.

I reckon they've designed it specifically to piss off windows users. Morons.

Anyway, I've located the itunes data on the old laptop hdd and have copied it across, rebuilt the database and am just syncing things up.

It wouldn't surprise me if I'm missing apps on both in itunes and on the iphone.
