  1. Definitely not good stripes (and others) Brings it back home how fragile and fleeting our time here is and puts a lot of other stuff back into perspective. My WPMO: My friggin terminal server (virtual machine) has gone into some sort of save/restart loop. Every 10 mins or so the VM saves and then restarts - locking me out for about 10mins each time. Event logs don't give me anything I can relate to it so I've opened a ticket with the suppliers who asked me not to touch anything. Coffee, forums and more coffee while I wait for them to log in and have a look
  2. Yeah - I think it was among there. The question seems to get asked often enough with the same answer each time. Not big enough of an upgrade to spend money on.
  3. F6 cooler isn't really any/much better than the stock one (seems to ramp up in heat at about the same rate from what I've seen here)
  4. Same - nothing unusual came up about injectors needing replacing either
  5. I'd say he'd expect an FG FPV not to handle worse than his BA XR6 ute. Am tipping your problem will be related to whatever the previous owner did. How low and how firm did they go? +1 for shockworks, but you may need someone to work out what's wrong with the current setup before trying to change the wrong items.
  6. Will agree with that - except the discovery, need and value placed on the oil in those same places has bought about a lot of wealth and issues that also weren't there prior to the europeans involvement and carving up of the areas at that time. It was a lot simpler and more peaceful back then, but even without the wests involvement the whole area was up for major change regardless. I do agree though - it either needs to be an all in or all out decision. Let them take control and sort themselves out or do it yourselves.
  7. You could have done the same when your username was jet - sucks what you'd need to get painted on the side of your car now. Back on topic: Car definitely stands out - how long and what was involved?
  8. For NHASP - because he needs his cars to be symmetrical
  9. Same amount of nutters as any other time, just that some of the current crop make better headlines and our media/internet etc brings it home quicker, stronger and more sensationalised. I don't (personally) feel in any greater danger than I did a decade ago, and have no increased worries as to the safety of my children. PLO and IRA were the monsters in the news back when I was at school - there'll always be some acronym group as the next one to worry about. Political correctness needs to go away and die as far as I'm concerned - so what if someone gets offended by something someone says. Not being able to call a spade a spade is far more damaging than having to hold back whats said in fear you may upset someone. Same doubly so in regards to communities and groups - so what if some group is up in arms over some comment made by someone else - the only "real" effect of that comment was to give you something to be up in arms about. Media needs to go back to journalism and reporting rather than click bait headlines where what someone ate on Big Brother is as valid a news article to them as real threat to lives because it gets them just as many views. For the rest - I think the government/armed forces/police will pretty much do the best they can to deal with real issues as they come along. Would be nice if we were allowed to ban nutters from politics, but we keep on voting them in. Every friggin election time there's a new one or two who theoretically shouldn't even know how to breathe without reminders or who really shouldn't be allowed to open their mouths. That said - I'm far more likely to be stabbed by some low life tweaking on ice than beheaded by one of the mentioned nutters because some idiot in another country posted a message on facebook.
  10. Time to change the title of your thread
  11. And locks out 6th gear (which cruise control overrides)
  12. Actually ^^ is a very good point. Work out where you want the car to end up rather than see what you can do now. What you buy tomorrow could be in the bin next week when the next stage of the build needs it replaced.
  13. Ouch The ZF is touted as a "Forever Sealed" unit - meaning it's advertised as NEVER requiring maintenance General consensus is 100k is a good time to give it it's first service Name and shame a transmission place that is recommending every 20k and calling 40k stretching it
  14. Compared to most stuff now I'd give it a solid 7 Each episode is decent but the on-going story is pretty weak - could miss an episode here and there and wouldn't really matter Solid 7 because of a decent cast and no real facepalm moments Not an 8 because the "surprise twist" was telegraphed from the 2nd or 3rd episode
