Gambit

I think I need to brush up on my ways I was sat spanking sockets... Hehe Spanking. for about an hour an half on one wheel getting a locking nut off. Saying that spoke to the mechanic down the road told me to take it to him 5 minutes it was off with power tools :)

I have to agree not been a good month. Paul walker Now Nelson Mandela.... Not to forget Brian Griffin :( <<< Was that a bit to soon

Former South African President and anti-apartheid revolutionary hero Nelson Mandela has died at his Johannesburg home. He was 95. He had returned home on September 1 in a critical condition after being in a Pretoria hospital for almost three months - the fourth time he had been admitted to hospital since December. He had battled a series of lung infections and respiratory illnesses in the past few years. Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison after being found guilty of being sabotage and conspiracy to overthrow his country's government before being released in 1990, became South Africa's first democratically elected president, holding office from 1994 to 1999. One of the world's most famous people, he has long been a figurehead for racial unification, following his efforts to heal his own country after centuries of division. News of his death has prompted an outpouring of grief from all corners of the world. Mandela had a history of lung problems, after falling ill with tuberculosis in 1988 toward the tail-end of his prison term before his release and subsequent presidency. While doctors said at the time the disease caused no permanent damage to his lungs, medical experts say tuberculosis can cause problems years later for those infected. The Nobel laureate had an acute respiratory infection in January 2011. Following the chaos that surrounded his stay at a public hospital then, the South African military took charge of his care and the government took over control of the information about his health. It released little, mostly saying early in his last hospital stay that he was in a "serious but stable condition'', but in late June it said he was "critical but stable''. In July the government denied that he was in a vegetative after a lawyer for some of his family told a court his life support system should be shut off. AN EVERLASTING LEGACY: Mandela was one of the most revered leaders of the 20th century and his legacy will forever be the abolition of apartheid in South Africa. The man endearingly known throughout South Africa as Madiba - his Xhosa clan name, which literally translates to grandfather - cemented his place in history when he became the first democratically elected president - black or white. As a founder of Umkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Nation), which was the armed wing of the African National Congress (ANC), Mandela was a militant anti-apartheid activist from a young age. He was sentenced to life in prison after being charged and convicted of sabotage in 1962. Left to the mercy of the prison guards in a white supremacist South Africa, his release 27 years later in 1990 set in motion the cogs of an anti-apartheid movement that had the backing of much of the world. His release was all the more astonishing for a total lack of animosity toward his captors. In a speech on the day of his release, Mandela quoted his own words, which he spoke at his trial in 1962: "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. "It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." Four years later apartheid in South Africa had ended and in 1995 Mandela became the first elected president - ending the irony behind the name the Republic of South Africa. His presidency was spent building what his inaugural address called a "rainbow nation at peace with itself and the world". As the ANC party under Mandela began to dismantle the racial divide, his attention turned to the issue of HIV/AIDS, which according to the World Health Organisation, affects about 6.5 million people in South Africa. But the crusade was more personal for Mandela, who lost his eldest son in 2005 to the disease at the age of 54. After his departure from politics, Mandela also sought to step away from the public eye with appearances in recent years becoming fewer and farther between. His last public appearance was in 2010 when South Africa hosted the FIFA World Cup.

I've looked at these too. What it is all of them are like a locking wheel nut if you like you need that to get them off so if you lose that it's great fun trying to get the nuts off :)

Full cheese please :D

Might even Email him see if we can get him to give advice on here I just know he gets super busy without the help of coming on to forums :(

Best way mate both the Scoob's in the garage I spent ages looking for them and even traveled to get both of them, Just so I could get ones that felt right for me :) And I agree very nice cars and out my budget range too :) But if I did get one I would want one with the rear spoiler already fitted. If you don't you have to buy a full new bootlid with the spoiler :(

Not a colour I would have myself but if you are happy with it do it mate, might change my mind once I see it :D

I can see I will have to get one soon :D

Least you tracked it down easy enough :)

No that was it being modded the Blobeye thats stock still pulls well but can feel it's slower from when you have been in the bugeye. And I would say it will be the same for the Legacies if it's in the right range its power all the way through the gears. But if you was doing drags more mods would make it even quicker with the likes of antilag and so on, but know you're not after that type of thing from what you have said. So I'm guessing you are either into dogging or need to transport murder victims or drug smuggling with not wanting police attention and big boot space ;) But joking a side I think once you have test driven either one, and once you have decided which is the right one you would be very happy with it they drive like nothing else I've driven. It's just making sure you get a good egg really with them. :) Cost wise if you can keep off the money pedal and not keep boosting it everywhere you can get good mpg but just be warned it's hard not too ;)

Exactly now bend over... "Who's been a naughty boy then" ;)

My wrx last time it was checked would 0-60 in 4.1 seconds I have a mate of mine who rides motor bikes and even he started to lift his legs up when I did a stand and start launch. But mine's been modded but only runs 300BHP. And only time I've heard of Turbos failing and taking the engine with it is if it gets starved of oil. But as long as you let it warmed up and cooled down and service it more than you would any other car should be fine. I've know 2 people with Audi a3 and an Astra VXR both blew their turbos with in 20k miles. My bugeye I would say from when I had the engine rebuilt and bigger turbo fitted I've done 70k+ now still going. I know when you read up on these things you find all the horror stories and rightly so. But as I pointed to before if it's been well looked after and these cars need it :D they would just about last forever. :D And with turbos you will always get turbo lag depends on the size of the turbo no matter what car it is. but when it does spool you know about it :D

Only if I can use my wooden paddle

I'm sure I can let you off this time mate ;)

I was on about them being like motorways A180 has this cheap like concrete sections that makes a noise so loud you can't hear the radio. And the M180 not sure what it is about that road but it makes me just want to fall asleep at the wheel :D

I know the WRX and the STI have the suspension bend out slightly at an angle, not sure if it the same with the sports. I thought it would be so I'm not sure either :( And welcome to S.O.C :)

You have not been down the m180 and the a180. Worst roads in the UK if you ask me :)

I know what you mean :D when I went to the Cinema I felt like I had watched a hole film again just from that Runway scene :D

You know what I'm going to ask Matt ;) Well if you want to take lead role if some more of the members want to go near you you are welcome to sort it out if you like. Can start an Event thread going. if the interest is good and sort it to get the name on the event list :)

I've seen a few die but I think the only other two I can remember feeling a bit sad about was Bernie Mac and Steve Irwin :) And I agree the event look's massive now I can't see how it can be held in just one place I know it was being held in Essex not sure if it still is or not.

I agree not many times I feel I have lost someone close when a Hollywood actor dies but did sting me a bit his death :( And if anyone is interested a big even is being set up if anyone want to lead tour club to go feel free to step up. Non of the event are near me :( https://www.facebook.com/events/709197252425293/

Hi mate welcome to S.O.C All I will add to this is

I've always liked the red colour no matter what colour the car is :)

Hi mate I'm not 100% sure I know very little about the classic remapping side other then what you have said really I know you can get other boards that fit onto or replace the ECU then gets remapped. I know of a Remappers near me I think I will have a word with him for yyou and see if I can get him on here :D
