  1. Mark, that sounds wicked, not a problem. That hotel is in the middle of town so please dont get lost in the one way system!!!

  2. Ask John Chantry, he loves his laughing gas!!!
  3. I've nudged 160mph (the fastest I've ever been) on the back (pinion) of a Fireblade, and I SHIT my pants. I know there are a few in Plymouth on here and those that are, will know the Parkway from Marshmills down to the Tamar Bridge, we hit 160 on the stretch from Crownhill past the turning off to Devonport. Then got to the roundabout by the bridge turned round and he fucker did it again, that time I didn't have the bottle to take my head out from behind him because of the buffeting from the wind!!! All this on a fookin friday afternoon after worrk, what a nob, I could seriously have died. The
  4. OK everyone some details for you: On the day (Sunday 26th June) how does everyone fancy meeting at a pub called 'The Old Peacock'? it's right opposite Elland Road (Leeds United Football Club) you can't miss it. it's the only landmark everyone should be able to find easily, it is well sign posted and it has a nice big carpark. Please be there for 8-8.30am, we WILL have to leave at about 9ish as we need to get everyone up on to the stand for before 10am. We can then go in convoy (through a nice bit tunnel!!) to Harewood. I know some people may be suffering from a hang over from the night before
  5. Carsberg don't do nights out in Leeds but if they did, they would probably be the best nights out in world ever!!!! hehehehe
  6. BASTARDS!! ALL OF YOU. I've only got 10 rooms available and only my best friends can stay. Amanda's cooking for everyone and supplying soap, buckets, sponges and polish!! God she's great isn't she?!! I also live right by Elland Road where there will be a match with Man U that night and you can all watch it from my personal VIP Box, just before we lay on a coach into town and back. There will also be a maid service in the morning including a full English. (a personal massage service from Amanda is
  7. Shit! It's only a month away, best I pull my finger out my arse!! Has anyone gone on to the website yet and bought their tickets? (www.vwfestival.co.uk)
  8. I would have thought that as well Justin. Would there be any point putting any 2.9 bits on a 2.8 as the capacity is smaller and physically its never gonna feed all the enlarged bits surley? I'm no engineer but would I be talking shite?!! hehehe
  9. I'm pretty sure (don't quote me on this) but the OBD2 motor has a bigger throttle body anyway mate. Can someone clarify?
  10. Keep dreaming is what I say!! http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/cars_search.asp?page=10&modelexact=1&lid=search_used_cars_full&make=VOLKSWAGEN&model=GOLF&variant=vr6&keywords=&min_pr=3000&max_pr=&mileage=&agerange=&postcode=BS8+4RU&miles=1500&max_records=200&source=0&photo=1&sort=3&ukcarsearch_full=SEARCH
  11. Deffo design 1 for me i'm affraid!
  12. You wont be able to update it untill tomorrow mate. It takes 24 hours to register the serial number then you will be able to update it. It will still work but will not pick up any new cameras from when it was manufactured. I'm a bit unsure as to if I shouldn't have gone for the new snooper thats £425 in Halfords, that picks up all the radars. %-6
  13. Jah, me ist liking ze left hand drive yez! Unt vood you liking unt supercharger no? Dist unt liking ze autobahns?!!! Heheh, its lovely dude. Still don't think I could cope with a left hooker though. I like my quick gear changes as i'm left handed!
  14. They look really good Jonny boy. Nice and different, best get your arse up to the VW festival and show em off! hehe
  15. Mine is the new one with the lazer detector and it loves going off when I'm by schools! And yes I got it from Halfords with 6 months interest free credit and a lovely free AutoGlym bag worth 40 notes!! Just a bit concerned about the whole Mobile camera thing. I arrived in Plymouth at 10.30am on Friday and spotted the camera on the bend just before you turn off the A38 to Marsh Mills roundabout and I think I spotted it too late, Arse!!!!

  16. I'm a bit confused as to how it works with mobile gatsos as from what I uderstand its not a detector for radar (only lazer). The blackspot database stores all the known camera sites on it and the GPS on the RoadAngel knows your position in relationship to the cameras. So how the hell is it going to pick up a mobile gatso camera in a new location? Or a mobile camera at all? Something I didn't think about when I bought it. Please advise....
  17. After a 5 hour drive from Leeds to Plymouth on the bank holiday, just before I get into Plymouth, I'm sure I was clocked doing 80-84mph in a 70mph on the A38 by a chuffin van. Now I was also in the process of being caught up and overtaken by a Boxster, i'm not sure if the van got me first then the Boxster, got me as I was in view first, or if he just got the Boxster. Whatever the case may be I've either got 3 points or I haven't but I suspect its highly lightly. They hadn't arrived yesterday and I left before the post today (it can take up to a month ) So I went out and bought a Road Angel, d
  18. Excellent! 35mins from Leeds is Ilkley. We need some more interest though I think. I'm not from Leeds originally so I'm not too clued up as to a good centeral place to meet. If anyone has any sugestions i'd appreciate it.
  19. OK guys i'm interested in organising and monthly meet for the northern members. There doesn't seem to be many but if I can organise a meet for people (John I suppose you can bring your hybrid beast! hehe) it may bring some people out of the woodwork. Suggestions for a place for us to meet greatly appreciated. (Not a Halfords carpark!!)
  20. I had a great time apart from when I got home I descovered a new dent on my passenger side door that I can't account for ~
  21. mmmmmm, you naughty boy! hehehe. Can't wait to see it tomorrow dude. Glad the box is in.
  22. I spent £150 on some lovely Focal componants last week with matching tweets and bloody hell!! What a difference, they sound amazing and compliment my Alpine head unit beautifully. I'm not one for megga sounds any more really, went through the whole Alpine V12 and mono amp stuff when I was 19. I'm trying to build my VR really nicely with no bodging and holes cut in places and split plastic. These just fitted in the rear cards perfectly along with the active crossovers and I carefully cut out the middle of the existing tweeter brackets and placed the Focal ones with the little logos in. The pric
  23. Ok, the Cossi wasn't mine but I was in it when a friend lost control racing a Lotus Esprit Turbo, needles to say we where behind it and it hurt a bit when we hit the fence!! The engine ended up in a Westfield. Series 1 was my 2nd car and only had a stainless, chip, filter and the obligatory dump valve. It was a mint motor and only had 65k on the clock when I bought it. I took the picture in exactly the same place about 7 years ago (god time flyes!!) as my old VR signature pic. The Black RST was running a good 240-60bhp depending on how much boost it was running. It had a hybrid turbo with 360º
  24. I'll be there, if not a little battered by my missis for making her get up that early on a Sunday!!!!!! I hope it doesn't chuffin rain. Being the expert forcaster that I am a low pressure is moving up from the Southwest for Sunday!!
