Hey the front seats are a much better quality than the vinyl in the back!

Oooh rivalry! I shall test both tomorrow and give my verdict then. Fox, heated seats are awesome so if you are to have any chance of victory may I suggest you bring some hot water bottles.

My car is a mess as unfortunately due to todays pouring rain I have not had the chance to clean it.

Currently, I get into Folkestone at 7am.
The next train gets in at 7:25.

Is there any point in taking the early one? Folkestone - Eurospec can't be more than an hour..

It's nearly 2!

I drive fast

Google maps is very pessimistic when it comes to journey times.
I think I'll try and make my booked train, if I miss it it's not the end of the world..
This G&T will be my last in any case

Did you get the stat changed ok?

Took the under tray off, looked up and couldn't even get a hand on it from below :eek:

There's a supercharger in the way from above, will leave it to someone else I think!
Also fiddling with sensors/hoses/bleeding has seemed to sort of fix the issue (water temp drops with high revs) so I'm hoping it's just a really good bleeding required.

It is, but if you get traffic for any reason, it ends up being about right.

I've never known Google or Tomtom to be THAT optimistic that a 2 hour journey takes an hour!

Yeah I meant 90 minutes, rather than 60

I'll get up when I get up. I'd rather not have to get up at 4am, but if that's what's required, then so be it..
Do I have to shave?

InvaderGIR · 18 Mar 2011 at 20:49

Man up and do it properly, get up at 3!

Can't believe this thread is 16 pages long and the RR hasn't even happened yet, lol

I tend to find its very accurate.

I've lost my iPod :mad:

I was about to make some CDs, but my notebook doesn't have CD-ROM drive, let alone burner :'(

I was tempted to put ASOT 500 in the car, but instead loaded Tron.

I need ipod connectivity, CD changer sucks!

What retard disconnects (and seemingly removes) the CD changer cable, and replaces it with an iPod cable?

Oh wait, that's right, the previous owner :mad:

Got a CD43 unit in yours?

If so you probably have a similar changer to me, works with the tape deck but not the CD player. CD43 can have iPod plugged in though and it fakes it as a changer. I'm half tempted to do that, but cost and effort I might as well just spend £100 on an aftermarket one with orange glow.
