  1. (I know, I was just taking the proverbial)
  2. Yeah, I think that safe to say, they were reffering to Scottish Scoobies.NET Which Clearly are a completely different club...
  3. Yeah pretty much what Adam says, but unless you are minted I wouldn't aim that high... Guess it really depends on what it is that you are looking for though, and what you have as a budget, as that really will make a massive difference. Currently I live in a one bedroom flat (Apartment) in the centre, and your looking at something like £100K to buy. And as for renting, I don't know what the current going rate is for that these days, but it was mental expensive last I heard, and I don't expect that to get much better. Russell probably has your best bet, but if you are coming into the city, then bear in mind that to get in from Inverurie, you are looking at a 20minute drive depending on traffic... could be much better if its quiet...
  4. I think that I would need to see more than just that one pic to be honest mate, but not feeling the love at the moment... though I might change me mind if I were to see it properly... There is a matt black porsche911 kicking about Aberdeen at the moment, just a vinyl wrap like, but looks pretty neat...
  5. Looking real nice Peter! although I dont like those wheels, (never did like newage wheels on a newage) I think that the dark wheels look spot on... I think that considering the amount of work that has gone in, it does not look over the top at all... yes it's aggressive, but not a lot... you could easily give it a second glance before you clock details... and I like that!
  6. Not anywhere near Inverrural myself, but there are quite a few members near that way... you should try getting along to a meet sometime!
  7. I would say that they are probably wildly different mate...
  8. I would say got back to sunny motors and tell them to check that they dont have it sitting on the shelf, or get you a new one, as that is a missing part... they should replace it under warranty free of charge mate...
  9. Yeah they do the hillclimbs there, in fact there was one just the other week... normally 3 a year I think there...?
  10. Bah, Nitrogen is a joke, just designed to part you with more cash... they use it on aircraft because its an innert gas, and if you get "hot brakes", they can explode, and especially next to magnesium alloy wheels, you don't want pressurised air containing more oxygen there too... (because that will fuel the burn more)
  11. I am loving Goodyear eagle F1 Assymetrics 215/45/R17 IIRC, good tyres in the dry and in the wet too* wasn't a fan of the 050s but never tried the 070s to make a comparison... * Driver skill not included
  12. Ha! Nah, No Flames here mate, I understand what your saying, and to an extent I agree... Whilst I've been on the receiving end of the law in previous times, the law is the law, I just dont like the whole Focus thing, when it seems to take away from other offences that are IMHO just as important, but never focused on... I have a great deal of respect for the work you guys do, its just the policies that I don't necessarily agree with, and whilst I don't always have better suggestions, it doesn't mean that I have to agree with the current systems... Couldn't agree more there, and I think that was perhaps the words that I was scrambling for... Ha! You and me both!!! Although your point about education is one that I've ranted about before and I think that its the best message, Certainly that's going to slow me down far more than a "punishment" Good Shout, as I said before, I've been done before, a good while in the past, and you know what, the copper that did me was brand new, gave me a talking to (was cool about it) and wrote me a ticket, but it was all about education... I think that putting us all in Micra's may be a little extreme though!!!
  13. Christ, Looks like I missed so many people yesterday!!!!
  14. Here's the first few from me... with well over 600 shots to go through, I'm having to be choosey... I'll be posting pretty much as I go, so check the set out. The Set is here: Thefastone @ Flickr
  15. Ha! Got my best side!!!
  16. NO idea to be honest, didn't even realise there was a garage there... I might pop out for you if I have time... You got a link to it?
  17. Oh, and another thing, where WERE you Jon??? I thought that you might have made an appearance...
  18. Well done Glyn!!!
  19. I hate these target campaigns, because they are focusing on one thing, and that's topping up the bank fund... because lets face it, there's no money to be made from taking the slow and unaware dangerous drivers off the road... Every day recently that I've been out, I've been affected on the roads by some idiot. Some idiot that have seemingly bought a lucky bag, and got lucky with a licence... Yet cameras do nothing about these drivers. They dont stop me from getting cut-up on the dual carriageway. They do nothing about the driver that will not drive according to the conditions. They don't stop me from being stuck behind traffic that are hogging the wrong lane at 10mph below the limit, just not fast enough to overtake the car in the other lane, because they are turning off in 10 miles. They don't stop me from being stuck behind the Muppet that doesn't acknowledge that passing places mean pulling in when you have to. They don't stop that driver from nearly having an accident because that other car wasn't indicating, presumably because when the driver of the other car first got on the road, Model-T's didn't have them... Speed is only a factor, and sometimes its not. but I'm pretty certain that ditching the cameras and having more police on the roads will make a better place...
  20. Noel! Your not selling are you???? Actually, have you had yours fixed yet?
  21. Think that Gus would do a great job Glyn...
