  1. Out 2012, looks quite nice... I am also considering an A1.. As a daily... The S is going into weekend summer use only.
  2. sounds like only one input on your box is working. get an engineer out.. I had a problem with my HD box... some channels started saying no satelite single received. I was also getting failed recordings... One of the power supplies in the box was starting to fail and couldn't set the 2nd tuner or something... Anyway... I got an engineer round who gave me a new HD box with a bigger hard drive... 250 instead of 160 and its a tad smaller and much quicker on the EPG.. My box was out of warranty so I had to pay a call out fee but I am glad I did...
  3. Im on my 2nd S2000.... after 5 year gap.... I have considered changing a number of times... I drive a Fabia VRS most of the time now and the S2000 is such a nice car to slip into every now and then. It feels great and to be honest, if i had a VX220T I would be banned from driving within a week... The S on the other hand is great for pottering around with the roof down and has 9000 rpms to play with when you want some fun.
  4. still check in time to time....
  5. Last month Stag trip to Hamburg for a weekend Week in portugal This month Ducati service, parts, insurance, mot and tax.... But the real killer is the unexpected.. trip to the dentist... did £315 yesterday and going back for extra work tomorrow... with a possible root canal... I only recently started going back to the dentist 10 months ago after a break of 'cough' 10 years... And now although my teeth looked pretty good to me xrays show decay has managed to get in to some back molars through a tiny tiny hole... Don't leave your teeth unattended... get to the dentist!!!! Week in instanbul next month car service and MOT.... New york trip end of may.. might need to start working some over time soon...
  6. You have made me feel so much better keep up the good work.... LOL
  7. Thats quite amazing... the small triangle oil cooler is exactly the same as mine... Think thats a ducati one... I am impressed how they have managed an intercooler, radiator and and oil cooler... They have also fitted a dry slipper clutch...
  8. Bike is almost finished... Just had a load of bits fitted and a belt service... Hopefully have her back next week!
  9. Sorry to report.. this league is now closed.. the Game site that displayed the tags has decided to shut down...
  10. Driven both.... I would get fed up with the VX after a while.... so go with the Z4... infact you should talk with Crusoe he had both. Consider the S2000, it's a half way house...
  11. thats fantastic... so when you say a different location? IS this at home?
  12. This was my previous speed on a 20mb line! as you can see rather poop. but it was fine for xbox live and skype... 1st test. Anyone know anything about filters? Do you need a different one for fiber? I plugged the filter in and the line drops down to 12.5 meg! I have unplugged house phone and sky box so there is nothing on the line and the speed went up again... its actually ever so slightly faster quite pleased with that.....
  13. ha... it might appear that way.. But thats not the case... thanks for voting... Hopefully have a few more sky offers coming shortly...
  14. Mine is called Enzo.... he is the one in the link...
  15. Can you vote for my little woofer please!!! His name is Enzo Its a bit gay and girly but I need to win!!! https://apps.facebook.com/differentbreed/photo/4d9c3deb20b8e
  16. I have a little damp patch in the back in the foot well. So how do i fix this? I heard the door seals have a problem.. common fault... Also anyone tried V power diesel? It seemed to push my motorway mpg up to around 60MPG where as I was only getting 53 mpg at best previously.
  17. i wonder how much it would be for my s2000.... I only have two seats and door cards.
  18. if only they did an S1 quatty.....
  19. way too expensive..... i would rather a normal s3 and a second hand S4 v8 to piss about in.... £40k is silly money
  20. Yes mate really like these! Might do the S2000, that has **** standard leather which isn't that soft either....
  21. I am considering the remap however i would rather put the money towards leather seats.... its quick enough already to be honest... planning a road trip in the summer down to france
  22. I agree, It's not as special as a lupo gti.. The lupo gti was one of my favourite little cars.. I loved it and would happily have another. however I consider the lupo a little bit too special to be given to an inexperienced driver and thats why I didn't short list it. I drove my s2000 yesterday for the first time this week, i was considering selling it however i love the engine.. I will be looking this spring for something else , but it will have to be something exciting.... maybe a z4m..
  23. I give it the thumbs up... I picked the car up earlier this week and have covered a few miles in it now including a quick thrash down my favourite road in the new forest.. Very twisty stuff. I got 50MPG down from London driving at my normal motorway speeds. 70-80  with a fully loaded up car with xmas goodies and two extra people with me. It’s fairly quiet in side, I think a change of tyres could get the cabin noise down further. Radio CD is average. Seats are comfy however a little soiled due to the fabric being so light in colour. I gave them a steam clean today and it came up pretty well… Needs another going over to be totally happy with it. The car is a one owner car, previous owner was disabled, so no door dents and the body work is as close to ‘as new ‘as it could be… no faded paint or stone chips and with only a scratch on the wing mirror.. It’s just ticked over 45,000 miles which is pretty good for a 6 year old car, new brake discs and pads all round. Serviced with water pump and cam belt just done. Also came with one years warranty, parts and labour and road side assistance. I am very impressed with the engine. You can have some fun from 1500-3000rpm. The gear box is light and feels evenly matched to the engine… I think 2nd could be a little taller but that’s personal preference… I am used to revs in my s2000…. My only criticism after the seats would be its a bit rolly polly in the corners… I havn’t been in a modern hot hatch since my Leon Cupra R but this could certainly do with a slightly stiffer ARB. So to sum up… cheap to run, at a guess 400-450mpg tank range, a little soft in the corners however if you have selected the correct gear there is a nice dollop of torque to pull you out of the corner. Which is fun..
  24. I don't think you can bring race into this... I have no problem with immigration if you are going to pay into the system or asylum - for genuine reasons. The tragic thing here is he has been given the right to remain here due to his human rights, his case has been argued effectively by a very good lawyer / legal team. The poor guy who lost his only beautiful daughter has been very very badly let down by the legal system. I doubt he will ever find peace. The only good to come out of this is that now everyone knows about this case, i think i heard its been going on for 7 years?
