  1. Is it? That's kind of the nature of the thread.
  2. Cleary then, black is the answer
  3. They'll not be following you on this one though as you're already copying someone
  4. This, grey looks shite.
  5. It was around when I was 10, so no, me and the the missus are more excited by it than any of our nieces or nephews! Soooo many people at it in Queenstown, even had a guy approach us last night asking what team we were on We've got a fleet of eevee variations as our strongest and a ponyta hatched out of an egg last night much to the Mrs' delight, she keeps going outside late on, in minus temperatures to get rarer ones down the driveway
  6. I was behind an old dear in the post office a few years back trying to send money to Uganda (or similar), the guy behind the counter was straight telling her it was a scam but she wouldn't have it.
  7. Because that gives other people time to consider how much extra they're willing to pay, you never get anything cheap doing it that way! Messaged the guy saying I'd take it if it all fell through, and although my wanting to pay by PayPal and have it collected did make me sound like a scammer, later offering to send a friend with cash should have rectified that, but he is adamant I'm trying to screw him and as such now wants to screw me and keeps going on about sending him £1500 by Western Union or Moneygram, strange chap.
  8. And being 20-30bhp down on power isn't obvious?!
  9. I see. Still though, if it's done and it's right, why do it again? If timing is out, it's pretty bloody obvious, it'd feel like shit
  10. I don't understand what you mean by on a keyway? In cambelt news mine managed to slip a tooth again somehow, this made itself abundantly clear half way up The Remarkables when it was struggling like a bitch even in first and the exhaust got so hot it melted one of the gear linkage bushes Oops!

    Holidays

    I'll be in New Zealand 'til March so it's snowboarding for the winter with husky sledding as a treat then hit the same slopes with a bike and explore the south island a bit more when summer comes back, still need to see an Orca! Then Indonesia after that. Then maybe India.
  12. If your mum was a hairdresser but just didn't specialise in styled men's fashion hair, but got it right regardless, what's the issue? Would you go and get it cut at a barbers to get it even righter or would that be a waste of money? It's a toothed belt regardless, it's either a tooth (per pulley) out, or it's not, and if it's been done, and it's running fine, then it's not
  13. Why does it matter if a specialist did them? If they've been done, and the car is still running, what's the issue?
  14. The S6 I had intended to buy just slipped through my fingers because the Snipe site I used failed to place the bid. Only been waiting about 4 years for that particular car in that particular spec to show up. Guess it means I can continue to wait for a B2 80/90 with a 20vt to show up though.
  15. I don't think it'd work out too cheap by the time it gets from New Zealand
  16. My clutch was £66 for the Golf I do get pretty handsome staff discounts though
  17. Turns out my valves weren't bent, but there are 3 different marks on the cam pulley, and some sadist had decided to tipex mark the wrong one... I now have a fresh head gasket at least
  18. I was only half listening whilst removing a cylinder head, enjoyed, wasn't sure about the slightly dancier sounding one about 3/4 of the way through though (can't be any more specific than that, sorry :P)

    EU Referendum

    How would that work?! Surely it'd have to be Labour2 or something, no?

    Bit of interesting reading on that - http://www.thecanary.co/2016/06/28/truth-behind-labour-coup-really-began-manufactured-exclusive/

    I was in before the great crash, would have been as GiAnT or NoRcO though, because capital lower case was all the rage back then

    EU Referendum

    Not really, had we stayed then we could have later decided to leave, perhaps with a plan, nothing would have changed and our favourable position in the worlds biggest economy would have remained the same. We can't really now decide to later rejoin and be back where we were, there is no plan as to what we do next and our economy is on it's arse, and that's how it was always going to happen...
  23. Turns out VW did make an interference 8v engine, today I learnt this the expensive way, deep joy! In brighter news my expensive paper weight has a nice new clutch bolted to it...

    https://m.facebook.com/#!/sarah.leblanc.718/albums/10101369198638985/?ref=m_notif&notif_t=feedback_reaction_generic These are exactly the kind of morons who voted for this shit with any kind of conviction, and that's terrifying.

    EU Referendum

    well shit, I can't believe this is happening, I leave the country alone for 18 months and you go and vote the Tories in for a second term and give them free reign, terrific.
