  1. When I sold my 7 I sold the GHD's separately, you do a lot better that way
  2. Winter driving??? That's soooo last season
  3. No no theres no sport in blaming the car, I blame Rich!
  4. I call you out Sir! I have a Gen 5 which is quite acceptable in snow, this inclines me towards questioning the skill of the driver.
  5. I see your point..... on a 3S-GE that's probably completely run in
  6. I'd go for a bit of humbrol enamel from a model shop
  7. A pretty car on a forecourt, he might make his money.
  8. I've got both and in club terms I'm a fossil
  9. If you want to be safe come to my house very sloiwy and we can go out with my satnav to make sure
  10. Well for speed average camera's they are a lot better than any speedo. Mine is always spot on when I go through one of those things that tell you you're speed when you are over the limit You have to remember they fitted speedo's to Lada's, Tomahawk cruise missiles get GPS. These days probably cheaper than a recab plus a host of other benefits.
  11. I use a sat nav. In any event I've never seen a speedo under read.
  12. £170.02 Reserve not met, well that's a shocker
  13. What a lovely post, and you are right about Bryan. Hope things are getting a little easier.
  14. Yes Following that through your rev counter would be reading lower as well. If engine revs remain the same then you would travel faster and use more petrol
  15. But that would be reflected by the speedo as it measures the revolutions not distance travelled. Thus if the speedo (number of revs) is the same, the bigger the wheel the farther you travel each rev and so your speed is higher... perhaps
  16. I don't think so, the speedo is really just a post gearbox rev counter. So the wheel turning slower would be reflected throughout the drive train. If your axle indicates a speed then if the axle maintains that speed with a larger wheel you will have covered more distance. This would also explain why smaller wheels give better acceleration. Having said that I may be wrong However what I know for sure is tire is what you do as a result of excessive exertion,whereas a tyre is a rubber thing put around the wheel of a car
  17. Your life is safe, in the text they quote £7495
  18. Morrisons have a good fruit and veg section
