£1.20 for a card that looks the business. CHA CHA CHA CHING. £30 on flowers. BAWS. Living 350 miles form her and having an excuse not to take her out. Priceless.

Sorry, that was a really dodgy Fast and the Furious reference. "I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I'm free."

Only replace your braking equipment if it actually needs replacing. I think I'll go with the Godpseed kit later in the year myself.

Wee set of Teins needed for you too Des. They'd go down a treat. You'll be stuck to the road like white on rice, and look good doing it.

I live my life a quarter mile at a time Brian. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I realise I'm not Vin Diesel in a souped up Supra and realise that I've still got another 3 seconds before I reach the end of the quarter mile..

Do they come in extra extra loveable for guys like me?

It gives it a touch of (glass) class I thought.

Tremendous. That's a proper sig Cal. I'm still fighting the good fight for usability lovers everywhere.

Remember Craig has an STI. If memory serves me correct they have stronger links than the WRX has as standard. Your car is very similar to mine Gus, and I can wholeheartedly say that when the drop links were changed I noticed a big difference. There was less wayward movement and near-limit cornering was much improved. My turn in was also better, but I suspect that was down to geometery being properly set.

Everyone's watching the Winter Olympics! (really, what the hell is the point in showing this stuff in the UK?)

To quote Phil: "Signatures have been fixed, please refrain from including pictures otherwise we will turn this function off" Thank you.

Will it glow or flash or something if I get a PM?

Sorry to hear that Russ. Stay safe out there everyone.

For those that missed it last night all my posts ended with this image: Obviously I was taking it to extremes to prove a point to admin, but there you go. Also, if you're on dialup, which some of you are, then it's going to add a fair amount to page load times. It winds me up so much as someone who writes software and websites for a living. A clean usable interface is a thing of beauty, but pictures destroy them.

Removed as you all can see. I apologise for the inconvenience I may have caused for your browsing enjoyment. I don't apologise for the cause though. Vive la resistance!

I'm not sure. Not that I can see. I'm sure the bossmen had said it wasn't something they wanted, but if it is decided that people can have them I have no objections if they are controlled. Otherwise it's just a total free for all. I could have slipped some filthy porn into mine and quite easily get it on every page I've ever posted on with minimal fuss.

Using my trusty 1991 vintage WWF ruler your post is (on my display) 8.5cm in total. 5.5cm of which is a picture. 64% of your post! If 20 posts on a thread had 5.5cm pictures I'd have to scroll a whopping 1.1meters extra over the whole page! It's a great picture mate, but I feel they have absolutely no place on forums anymore. This is the internet 2006. Everything is clean, efficient, effective. It's not the Internet 1998 where everything is animated gifs of "under construction" signs, horrific frames, embedded midi files of axel F and the most awful tiled backgrounds you've ever seen.

Bob! It's not aimed squarely at you mate. I've posted a thread in the forum questions about it, but as 99.999999999999% of my posts are here I thought I'd at least explain to people that I'm just trying to prove a point. Your particular picture was fairly small and reasonably easy on the eye. I'm not saying I liked it, because I didn't, but you can see that it's so easy to abuse the feature.

It's blatantly open to abuse! It makes reading a thread a tiresome exercise. It makes viewing on small displays like PDAs either impossible or very difficult. How many times have you been round the internet and found a forum full of people posting "LOL" as a reply to a thread closely followed by 3 inches of pictures. It destroys forums because the information doesn't stand out from the shat. I don't need to see the same damn picture 5 times on every thread I read! There you go.

I'm just trying to prove a point!

Who could fail to be impressed with a trip along the Western Approach with 5 of us in the car at COUGH mph! You'll get mods. You just need some convincing.

Well done mate. Hope everyone is well.

I love the APs. They look absolutley fearsome.

Count me in.

I'd probably be looking at those 3 + EGT.
