The X Games as a whole will probably get aired on Five and Eurosport and maybe Extreme TV if you have it.

Laser Pro Park is good. It's a park distance control thing, but I'm sure the lasers it uses could aid you in what you need to do craig. []

http://www.edfringe.com/shows/detail.php?a...ows&id=TOPG - Top Gun on stage. 6 of us from work went to see it last night and it gets two thumbs up from everyone. Absolutely hillarious even though the dialogue isn't changed at all. The cast is really good and the dogfights and flying bits are side splitting. All the catch phrases are in there and you'll be laughing even before they say them.

Legend is a strong word. But in this case not strong enough. He didn't even stop for a second to have a think after the roll. I was reading a diary one of the other drivers was writing - Ken Block that owns DC Shoes - and he was saying how much himself and Pastrana were learning from McRae during the practice days then the rally. If you watch this then you know that Pastrana has already got the crashing part down quite nicely - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6...travis+pastrana And this is what he does on a bike - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1644965936757283670 Nuts.

Look good Andy. Didn't picture you as a rugby man though. So rolled arches or a proper wideboy kit?

Del - http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/guides_clean.html The guy that owns PB is from Aberdeen and was at the SIDC day up at Alford. A few of the guys have bought stuff from him and he posts a lot in the car care section over at SN. Spoke to his wife up at Alford and she gave me some good advice.

Des. WTF! Where you been lurking. Goodyears getting done on Saturday all being well. Will let you know my opinions soon enough.

Girls on trampolines/bouncy castles. A finer spectator sport you'll simply not find.

Don't make me get my big moderating stick out [] Imy, when is an order likely to be going in?

Here's the telly coverage - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-44040788742307041

That's quite interesting. The eagles are £7 more a corner for 215/45/17 for a WRX than the 225/45/17 for the STI.

Jalopnik - the site I found it on - is a great read. I have it subscribed in my RSS read. Full of car news with an interesting perspective. The site doesn't take itself seriously so there's always good videos, funny stories etc.

Getting goodyears this week hopefully. Will let you know how I get on. Out of the Toyos you'd want T1-R as they replaced the T1-S.

Some people are just shit. Stealing a puppy from children, prison is too good for someone like that. Unfortunately having nice things is just a trigger for someone malicious to steal/damage/abuse them.

There's a wee video here http://jalopnik.com/cars/clips/gleaming-th...date-192439.php He was on for the win but rolled his car on the super special in the stadium and lost by half a second. The guy that won - Travis Pastrana, who competes in the American Rally series for Subaru of America (cars prepared by Vermont Sports Cars of DC Shoes gumball cars fame) is a bit of a legend. He also competes in the Freestyle Motorcross (where he made his name) at the X Games where he also cleaned up with an array of backflips and other feats of insanity, yet again. He's a pretty talented kid, and he likes his scoobs so it's all good.

Billy, did you email phil@sidc.co.uk with your membership number, forum name and post code. That way he can check the membership database and activate your Avatar. There was a problem that anyone who signed up was getting Avatar privileges even though they weren't members, so yours might have been taken away because of that.

Damn right I am mate. Plus, if John proves a bit of an aptitude at this he can do mine for me! []

I was 20 at the time and it was brand new. And I was mad.

Thanks for the offer, but I'll wait and see how you get on []

That helps a whole lot. Found my 4 from elephant, just need the one from royal and sun alliance for the first year with my vectra. Which if memory serves me correctly was a baw hair off £1800. Eeeep.

When your renewal comes through they send you a proof of no claims. Is that for the year you've just had or a pre-issued one for the forth coming year?

Did they say how much it was?

Let me know how you get on John. Mine's got more chips than mcdonalds.

That's class. Really is.

A claybar will strip some of, but not all, the waxes etc according to PB's website. Petrol = designed to power the car. Claybar = designed to clean the paint. Simple really. Use the proper tools for the job. You wouldn't go to the garage and watch them take your wheels off with a screw driver.
