[Jorge]

Alright, UK RT.

So, hows it going?

Just wanted to also say a big thanks to everyone who came on Sunday, was a great day and hopefully the next can be even bigger.

[Anonymoose]

^ This for sure!

Herrow. What are you doing for wheels btw? you sold the 5's right?

[SceneBM]

Jorge arnt you just changing the faces to style 19s?

[Jorge]

Yeah what Josh said, swapping the faces from some style 19s. Then selling the 5s as a non staggered set.

Will start breaking them down this weekend I think.

[sCrapp]

Great title.... thats my input :)

[Jason_E]

I'm just back from the Pub. And have had a few pints.

That's how british my evening has been.

[Jorge]

Real ale?

I'm just watching East Bound and Down, fucking hilarious.

[stinkinrich]

i NEED a V8.

[chris_newcoololdschool]

Got my new wheels :D

[Jorge]

Whatcha got?

Rich, do a V8 conversion, with one of the 4.4s from the older 540s?

[chris_newcoololdschool]

15 inch Ats cups. Not original at all..

Except these are full gloss black, and the rears are 9j imports from ze Germanland ;)

[Jorge]

ATS cups are like RS's though, classy and will never be overplayed.

[chris_newcoololdschool]

Yeah, i never like cups normally tbh, its the gloss black finish that sold it, as i wanted to do something real different, but these were a good buy, and will fit my semi-motorsporty kindof look i want.

Ill get pics up later

[Anonymoose]

Wicked Chris! Need. Pics. Now. :)

[Anonymoose]

Yeah what Josh said, swapping the faces from some style 19s. Then selling the 5s as a non staggered set.

Will start breaking them down this weekend I think.

Oh sweet, love style 19's and you never see them around... keeping them silver or painting?

[Jorge]

They are going Yellow to start as I bought 2 tins to do the 5 centre caps, and they were custom made so seems a waste not to use them.

But before HF show I hope to have them satin black centres, with gloss lips and gold hardware.

[Anonymoose]

ooo yah

[Jorge]

Whats next on your wagon?

[Anonymoose]

paintstripped bonnet, wrong colour front wing plus a rusty roofrack and take a grinder to the springs. I've already got me a Slouch Beanie and my special jeans that are halfway down my arse so you can see me Calvins

:rofl

[Jorge]

[Minuki]

Weather is good here ! It's a shame i feel like death. :(

[Anonymoose]

[Jorge]

The steel or the Mk2 TT wheels? Cream is cool.

[Anonymoose]

Yeah the cream will look really good. Rain is perfect for wet sanding oi, do et.

[Minuki]

Time for lunch i think, starving !

[Jorge]

What to have for lunch though.

Got a fiver burning a hole, chip shop? Tesco - pasty? shitty sandwich? some microwavable meal?

[Minuki]

Chippy sounds good ! I think i'm gonna make some pasta :D

[Jorge]

Being British and all I think it would be rude not too.

[stinkinrich]

Whatcha got?

Rich, do a V8 conversion, with one of the 4.4s from the older 540s?

i just watched The Green Hornet and the car they use has some savage V8 under the bonnet, the noise in the cinema made me in jizz in my pants.

:rofl

fucking lol.

[Jason_E]

FFS! FML, etc.

T'other day whilst on my lunch break at work I went to BK and got my usual (XL Bacon Double cheese, supersized). They had no super sized cups so gave me a large and a small in a cardboard thingy.

Of course, as soon as I stepped out of the car when I got back to work, the carboard gave way and both cokes hit the deck, and emptied in less than a second.

Today I went to BK and they did have supersize cokes, and the guy said "Hold this cardboard holder from the bottom mate" I thought pah I won't make that mistake again.

As soon as I pulled out of the carpark, the drink tipped over and filled my passenger footwell with a gallon of coke.

Really can't be arsed to do my wheels now.

[Jorge]

Just read that on your Facebook. I laughed to myself. Sorry to hear it haha

I decided on a Spag Bol for lunch, but attempting to eat it with a Spork = fail.

[Minuki]

That's shitty man. Did it stain? :rofl

[Oxer]

Ship convicts to another country,

[Jason_E]

Black carpets and coke, wouldn't notice!

This cheared me up, somebody finally got a picture of Oxfords Freshest ride!

Just had two decent looking UK chicks walk into the apartments.. I couldnt understand what one was saying, I think she was from Glasgow.

[Jorge]

Glasgow, and Scotland for that matter doesn't class as being from the UK. So you wouldn't understand them, we struggle enough as it is. (Sorry Minuki lol)

[Oxer]

Meh... Same part of the world, I see no difference.

[Minuki]

Damn you, Ox ! :rofl

And the new competition is hard as shit...

[Jason_E]

Hmmm. Seat toledo half leathers for the Bora? Only up for £150 over in Bedford.

I know when Im not wanted.

Good luck with the competition.

[Jorge]

What you got at the mo. For £150 I'd do it regardless.

[Minuki]

aaah. My ipod is being a dick. I just downloaded the new update for Itunes, now it won't sync. Keep getting "Disk could not be found"

[Jorge]

Bummer, my Nano just died and now I'm sat here extremely bored at work. Any websites to kill 30minutes?

[Anonymoose]

bit late but Bangbro's for tomorrow! haha

[Jason_E]

Must be "Fuck an iPod day". My Alpine head unit just sits there saying "Searching" when I plug my Nano in now :( FFFUUUU!!

Love it Ben, just read it from Facebook...!

[Jason_E]

Woop woop!

[chris_newcoololdschool]

Saw it, not sure whether I like my car being described as 'lovely' though :P Could be worse i spose...

Awesome write up either way.

[Quail@Drifted]

Haha, sorry man! What would you prefer? I'll remember for next time!

[chris_newcoololdschool]

Haha I don't really know, I was just happy to even get mentioned :D

But hopefully the next time you see it the word lovely wont count, i'm wanting a motorsporty kind of feel, as I love real aggressive looks.. but first things first moar lows :D

[Jason_E]

Skins....

meh.

[Jorge]

Morning all,

Quail, great write up on the blog. Hopefully catch you at the next one.

[Quail@Drifted]

Cheers mate, hopefully I'll have my car at the next one :)

[Jorge]

You know Alex Wilcox don't ya? He was saying he knew a couple of people there and when he saw the write up he mentioned that he knew someone, wasn't sure if it was you or Jordan

[Minuki]

School is boring. Having a KFC for lunch today though :D

[Jason_E]

I skived College because I'm off the chain and also I have useless lessons today. Not sure how "Tutorial" will help me in a motorsports career tbh. Having said that I haven't touched a car since I started the course in September.

[Jorge]

You are all making me feel old for finishing school and college.

Hopefully gonna be back at uni come end of year though. Yay for poor students.

[Anonymoose]

Nice write up Qual and pics Jordan, love the fitment shot of mine and the beetle shot is my new desktop :) bring on the next one!

[Minuki]

That sucks man. I can't wait to go to college. Get out of Perth for a while haha

[Jason_E]

How old are you Minuki? What you thinking of doing at College?

[Minuki]

17. I've applied to do a few photography courses at Glasgow :D

[Anonymoose]

You will be an alcaholic maggot / qualified photographer in a few years if that's where you're going :)

[Minuki]

:rofl doesn't help that i'm 18 next month

[Jorge]

I'd hope being Scottish, being under 18 hasn't stopped you from drinking.

I've 2x 16 year old cousins in Edinburgh who get served at most bars, one's on his 2nd Saxo after writing the first one off. I daren't ask about that.

[Jason_E]

LOL. Half my family are from Coatbridge near Glasgow.

I turned 18 in September and have spent most weekends shitfaced since then.

[Jorge]

Haha,

On other news, FINALLY heard back from the shop about my sexy D2 Pro Spec coilovers about regassing them. Hopefully it will be done tomorrow, if all goes well I might fit them too. But think that will wait til 25th. So so happy.

Won them about 4 months ago for £230 delivered from italian ebay and been trying to find somewhere who can regas them. Looks like they will cost around £300 fully fitted, which is under a grand off the RRP. Happy days.

Need spacers and dropping once rear arches have been fixed :)

[michealis]

Looks good.

My ipod decided that it doesn't wanna hold, changes songs every time I move :(

[Jason_E]

Have you turned off the shake function?

[Jorge]

They are gona look much better, get some autoglym bumper care on those trims though

[michealis]

Have you turned off the shake function?

I have a old nano, it was free so I guess I can't complain.

[stinkinrich]

I have the hottest new gf. That is all.

[Anonymoose]

Giz a burn oi

[Anonymoose]

Side shots Chris! I know I keep saying but do the accents body colour dude, it would look fucking tasty and give the wheels more depth. What width are the fronts?

[Jason_E]

It's all change in the UK Wheels.

[Anonymoose]

^^Nice! Have you done all 4 or just the one?/ I want to see them on the car naow!

[Jorge]

They look mint. Get the other 3 done.

[Jason_E]

Currently waiting for number 2 to dry, and getting some food before I get cracking on sanding down number 3 (The curbed one) and repairing it!

[Minuki]

I'd hope being Scottish, being under 18 hasn't stopped you from drinking.

I've 2x 16 year old cousins in Edinburgh who get served at most bars, one's on his 2nd Saxo after writing the first one off. I daren't ask about that.

Oh, God no :rofl

I'm not stupid enough to drink and drive though :cool

:Edit - And those wheels look great !

FFS. I miss my good camera :(

[chris_newcoololdschool]

They are gona look much better, get some autoglym bumper care on those trims though

Plan on giving the whole car a good clay and tidy up before the next meet, both bumpers getting resprayed in a week or two too :)

Needs dropping more, going to wait until rear arches have been cut again though.

And the fronts are 7j, tuck like a beast, is it wrong to like that :/

[Jason_E]

My front's are all tuck. Makes shit more practical considering mine is a daily.

[chris_newcoololdschool]

Mines a DD too :) And its just weird considering the old wheels were 9j on the front, and were flush pretty much, whereas these i reckon will tuck under the remnants of the original arches, let alone the extended g60s Lol!

Didnt think id say it, but it looks shithot too... :/ I'm so confused!

[Anonymoose]

It reminds me of a narrowed beam Chris, was thinking before I kinda like it...different

[chris_newcoololdschool]

It reminds me of a narrowed beam Chris, was thinking before I kinda like it...different

Nailed it! Thats what it reminds me of.

Ill try and get some better pics, show you just how much it does tuck lol :)

[Minuki]

Can't wait to see it lower ! Coming along nicely.

[Jason_E]

This was difficult to take in the pitch black with just my 55-200mm lens to hand :(

[Quail@Drifted]

Jorge, can that shop rebuild any brand of coilovers?

My HKS Hipermax Pros wan't rebuilding, and I can't find anyone in the UK to do it :(

Yup I went to school with Alex Wilcox. I saw him there but was in deep conversation with someone. When I went to find him he'd dissapeared!

[Jorge]

Well its a Mbike shop properly, they just can regas nitrogen canisters which is what i was after.

You tried Gaz coilovers, they were up for anything.

[michealis]

Gaz charged me £75 for a full rebuild and re-gas on my front struts, that included carriage both ways. Took them 2 weeks though.

[Quail@Drifted]

May have to give Gaz a try! The coilovers will need new seals, etc though.

[Jason_E]

Anyone at the BDC thing up at Silverstone today? I'm car-less and working which is annoying as it's only a 10min drive for me!

[Wilson]

Anyone know anyone after a set on mk1 leon cupra r wheels. Can be refurbed professionaly in any colour.

[Minuki]

Loaded up Photoshop to make a new sig/business card...Photoshop won't work fuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

[Jorge]

Bummer, decided to spend my night chilling rather than town for some unknown reason?

[michealis]

According to Parcelforce my Civic gearbox had been delivered on the 7th. Problem is that it was delivered to Glasgow when I live in High Wycombe. Am at a loss what to do now as I can't get a reply out of the seller, and none of my neighbours have it.

How the fuck do you lose a gearbox?

[Jorge]

Easy answer to that is 'Parcelforce', but could also go with 'Any courier'

[Drama]

Why don't you guys just use the OG RT? You're just cluttering the forums more.

I made the RT for everyone to discuss anything.

[Jason_E]

Shit night out.

Pissed off. Fucking twats. Annoying chicks. Stupid choices of venue to go out in Oxford. END!

[Jorge]

Cluttering forums? Whats wrong with chatting with jsut the guys from your country?

Aussy's have one, so why can't we lol. Theres a reason for 'International' section.

[Minuki]

Why don't you guys just use the OG RT? You're just cluttering the forums more.

I made the RT for everyone to discuss anything.

Half the time i'm talking to myself because of the time differences :rofl I still use the OG rt too.

[Jason_E]

Why you *****'!

PMSL, just YouTube'd for a related video and came up with a Giggs song that clearly has a Cat meowing as a backing track OFF THE CHAIN!

[Jorge]

Yes, Giggs, can't wait to see him twice next month.

[Minuki]

Giggs is a hero.

[Jason_E]

It's all about Tempa T.

TEMMMMPZZZZZ!

[chris_newcoololdschool]

It's all about Tempa T.

This.

Giggs is a prat.

[Jason_E]

"CLEAR! All your CD rack, won't get none of your CD's back!"

FFS, wanted my CD's back. Bastard.

[Jorge]

Giggs is a prat? Giggs is legit.

Everyone else is overrated. Nobody has shit on him, except maybe Durrty Goodz.

YouTube - Durrty Goodz - Firin' Squad Unsigned Podcast #11 (Preview)

[Jason_E]

He does have the deepest voice known to man. That shit will fell skyscrapers!

[Jorge]

He's just so much raw and real than most.

Listening to Dizzee, Kano, Sway and that after make them look like the Spice Girls.

[chris_newcoololdschool]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnzaPkl6Nvg&feature=related

Thats legit. So good. Sadistik is awesome.

[Jason_E]

I like Dizzee's older stuff. And Kano's new album is actually all right. I know what you mean, I do like a bit of Giggz just never been into him that much. Never really liked Tinie Tempah that much but I love this track.....

YouTube - Chase and Status Hitz ft Tinie Tempah Lyrics

[Jorge]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the more mainstream 'grime', much prefer the underground stuff. Although when searching around I found this,

YouTube - DE TV - CUBZ, DANKS, STRAPZ & SMERKZ 'WE REP D E'

YouTube - SwaggaCampMedia - Cubz Freestyle

He is this like 18 year old dick from my village. Never shot anyone. The 2nd video was filmed outside my primary school. It's no ghetto at all.

Tinie is actually pretty good, I wasn't a big fan when he first came out but recently got his album and its well worth a listen.

[Jason_E]

I do like the underground stuff. PMSL at him! Banter. I love taking the piss out of Tempz.

so i'm gonna jump in randomly at this point........

i'm rarely on line and if you've no idea who i am then, i have the green 36 touring that turned up at mk for a bit, i'm trying to get in to the whole forum thing again (as the ORIGINAL hoodride forum ruined things for me a bit)

anyone any good at making sigs??? can they do one for me? i'll sort out the pics and whatnot but as for putting it all together, i've no idea, unless some kind soul will put up a tutorial????

also, i'm after a SHOW car, and i'm undecided as to what to get, my initial thoughts are...
a toss up between e46 318ci coupe/e36 318is coupe, or a Z3?
any input would be greatly received :)

[Jorge]

Z3 is different, E46s are the new thing, E36s have been done as much as can be.

This one I caught at Gaydon last year is fully sick.

Bitches love it when you come to get them to go to the cinema but can't get up their road.

[Jorge]

Hahahah, thats classic. I pulled upto cinema otherweek and barely made it up the slope into their carpark - used to work there and could see my old boss stood outside pissing himself at me.

[Anonymoose]

Bitches love it when you come to get them to go to the cinema but can't get up their road.

she walks outside...'WTF'

'I can't see you??'

'keep walking, keep walking...ps you should move xx'

[Jason_E]

FLOL!

With me I have had either...

A- The road there, all cambered and bumpy. Dog bone mount taking bites out of the tarmac. Not a fan!
B- One girl I went to see had a really dodgy shaped road surface and then like a cobbled patch, the dog bone just jammed on it and I couldn't get up the road.

Bitches aint shit.

[Jorge]

Waddup, hows everyone doing today?

[Anonymoose]

Sup! I lost my locking nut key and can't get my front wheels off ffs...hope a tyre shop can help coz I've tried the socket method and it aint moving :mad on a side note, I ordered spacers last night

[Jorge]

Spacers?! lol I need to order myself some, 10mm and 15mm. What ones did you go for?

Not good with the locking nut, I've not actually got one. The hassle I go through to jack the car up, if someone wants to do that they are welcome to the wheels.

I am however in the process of ordering some sexy sexy gold hardware.

[Minuki]

Ooh, they look smart, Jorge !

[Jorge]

Thanks :D was about to resort to bodging in RS bolts for a cost of over £200 for 136 gold ones with nuts. RC bolts cost just shy of £350 with nuts, got these for half that. Now to split the 19s and get the centres powdered a satin black.

[Minuki]

You have some pretty expensive nuts :eyebrows

[Jorge]

gold plated nuts too.

[Jason_E]

I don't bother with locking nuts, massive PITA. And as you say, jacking my car up takes effort.

You can get those "Locking wheelnut removers" from Hellfrauds btw.

That's retarded.

[Anonymoose]

Yeah I had a look at the halfords ones but read reviews that they didn't fit :( Can anyone confirm they'll work, I tried the socket method using a 20mm socket which fits over nicely...

Seen that thread before, haha, might try that :shifty

[Jorge]

I love that thread, makes me laugh everytime I see the pictures.

Sure you don't want to cut up your OZs ?

[nellydragracer]

Sup! I lost my locking nut key and can't get my front wheels off ffs...hope a tyre shop can help coz I've tried the socket method and it aint moving :mad on a side note, I ordered spacers last night

What type of locking nut is it? If the an OE BMW style then they aren't too bad to remove, you need a big torx bit (T60/70) an a big hammer. If not then a selection of 12point sockets 19mm an bigger should do the trick.

[Jason_E]

They are a reverse thread and they just latch themselves onto whats left of your locking nut.

Oh I remember that thread! LOL.

[Krish...]

waiting on tyres so i can finally get my style 5's on,

[Jorge]

Alphards are the best OEM wheels there are :(

5s on an E36 though is a classic that will always look good. What you doing / done with the 5s?

yh i did love the alphards as no one else had done em and they sat perfect however i always thought they were a tad big so sold em,

yh these 5's i got now should look ok,

ive also got some vette c4 wheels aswell im refurbing atm

[Jason_E]

:O What size vette wheels? PM Me if you want to part with them!!!

[Krish...]

17x9.5j all round

don't think im gonna sell them tbh, gonna refurb em and put em on the 36, the fronts are gonna be fun to get sitting right :s

[Jorge]

Vette wheels are easy to get sitting well, such high offsets let you placeem wherever you like

[ajk]

moose, did you gets yours nuts out?

now theres a sentence, you don't hear very often.

[SceneBM]

krish im going cleaned uk :D andy you coming? anyone from london/west london/bucks area want to ride up in convoy? would be the same as the stanceworks meet in mk but a bit further on?

[Jorge]

Is that this Sunday?

[SceneBM]

anyone whos interested heres the details.
i didnt go last year so i have no idea how it will be, might see if i can find a show report cos it could either be good with a nice mix of cars, or it could be shite full of saxos with bonnet bras claiming to be 'Hellaflush' or euro haha

[Jorge]

I'm thinking the latter, but depending on petrol might pop down

[michealis]

Anyone know who can rebuild D2 coilies? Mine have died so I'm gunna have to revert to my Gaz' :(

[Jorge]

I was recommended Gaz to rebuild my D2s

[michealis]

Yeah I think that could have been me, but I called them recently and they didn't seem to be too interested. You might have more luck though...

[Jorge]

A guy on another forum mentioned them to me a few months back, they seem the most helpful company in the UK when it comes to anything suspension related.

Tried any local shops or anything? I know there was a guy on one of the old forums I used who rebuild suspension, quoted me £75 a shock inc all seals etc.

[ajk]

Josh, i might come - although im not really down with long driving till i change the thermostat as the engine isn't getting fully warm and have to limp everywhere in 3k revs max.
I'll come if jordan/ed havn't shotguned or if i ever get some sleep.

[Anonymoose]

What type of locking nut is it? If the an OE BMW style then they aren't too bad to remove, you need a big torx bit (T60/70) an a big hammer. If not then a selection of 12point sockets 19mm an bigger should do the trick.

moose, did you gets yours nuts out?

now theres a sentence, you don't hear very often.

Nelly, it's a mcguard nut...ajk, haha na I'm hopefully going to get the bad boys out this weekend. Will go to a tyre shop and if that fails, go buy the halfords kit and a new 12point socket and try that again, if that fails a tyre guy can do it on monday but I have to leave my car with him, that aint happening though. I might take the day off work ahah.

[Jorge]

You not got the Mcguard code to get a new key?

[Anonymoose]

Bolts came with the wheels, I contacted the seller but he didn't have the code or reciept :D Cheers for the ideas though dudes. I'll just cut them off :o :rofl

[Jorge]

Be easier to cut the wheel on yours, only got the 5 spokes unlike that VW guy lol

[Jason_E]

In the words of MC Hammer....

Stop, Hammertime.

When in doubt, get the hammer out. Not for any reason tbh.

[Jorge]

Best mechanics knowledge ever (infact of all DIY skills)
If it moves and it shouldn't - duct tape
If it doesn't move and it should - hammmer

[comptonarsenate]

[Jorge]

I think we need to add a strap line to our meets.


Leading the cleaned uk scene since 2009...

'The only actually fitted cars in the UK'

[Jason_E]

I can't hold that tagline, I'm not that fitted. Oh and I've done it with pikeyness fake rimzz and spacers... innit.

If you can't fix it with a hammer or duct tape, you have an electrical problem.

[Jorge]

Haha, just wondering as you have a Bora - how wide/aggressive can you go easily? My friend is fitting my Style 5s to his with adapters, so will be around ET10/15 17x8 all round...

[comptonarsenate]

seriously, youd think in northampton what with it being the home of santa pod, e38 and now cleaned, we'd have some decent cars here................................wrong!!!
me and the other half stumbled upon a meet at 6fields the other day and there was not 1 modded car there, well 1 6n polo with a 12 yr old in it with some drop springs, and no one really looked like they knew what they were doing there, ha ha.

which way will you be comin up to shoe town??? i'll meet ya somewhere and convoy in with you's.

prob best comin from the m1 junc 15a tbh as its like, well, there really.

[Jason_E]

Haha, just wondering as you have a Bora - how wide/aggressive can you go easily? My friend is fitting my Style 5s to his with adapters, so will be around ET10/15 17x8 all round...

It's not very easy at all. Rear arches are rolled as standard, but the MK4 platform is just a massive pain anyway.

[SceneBM]

i had a browse on the cleaned uk forum and iv decided im not going to go, not worth the hour drive
im going to leave it at that ahah ;)

[Jason_E]

How would one dress a cut/graze that is way too big for a plaster? Anyone on my Facebook will know why.

I thought maybe, tissues and masking tape?

[Krish...]

i had a browse on the cleaned uk forum and iv decided im not going to go, not worth the hour drive

is it going to be that shit ?, if so then i'll think i'll take a miss

[chris_newcoololdschool]

Right, so had a meeting with the local councillors and police about the state of affairs that currently is Cheltenham Cruise. Its a mess. But they're looking into relocating it into a once a month jobbie at Cheltenham Racecourse.

The plan hopefully, is once the races are out of the way, to hold a one off charity shindig at the racecourse and see how it goes... We've been told once the dates arrangfed with local police etc we have free reign of organising and publicity :D

So I'm throwing this out there if any of the Lowlife locals etc want to make the trip over to Cheltenham, probably may time, then your more than welcome, would be nice to actually have some decent cars turn up :P

[Jason_E]

I'll have a chat with Zi, as ben is too busy to organise anything at the moment. But would be awesome to have a chilled location!

[chris_newcoololdschool]

Its still going to be a 'Fast car' type cruise, so expect a lot of crap, but the last one I went to in Bristol there were a dozen or so really nice rides (out of a couple hundred...)

[Jason_E]

The cruise scene isn't really our type of thing if I'm honest. But I wouldn't mind popping along to see whats about!

[chris_newcoololdschool]

I completely know what you mean, I only go if theres nothing better to do, and you've got to love the chavs 'that must be on air' to any car with just lowering springs lmao

[Jason_E]

With me it's "Mate dat is well low, how do u get ova speedhumps. That is too low!" A- Speedhumps are the least of my worries and B- ITS NOT LOW ENOUGH!

[Jorge]

Cruises are funny, not been to any since I've got the car fully set up. The amount of shit that just seems to appear from nowhere amazes me.

[Minuki]

Just been asked to photograph a Diablo ! :D

[Jorge]

Lucky bastard!!

[Minuki]

Lucky bastard!!

:D

Can't wait !

[Jason_E]

I has new lens ya.

Oh the white looks awesome
:alright

[Dudermagee]

trying to talk my wife into a trip to the UK for our next big vacation
1st stop Guinness factory

[Jason_E]

Ireland for you it is then! haha.

Chears moose! I'm surprised at how well they've turned out despite my dyer paint skillz y0!

[Jorge]

What lens you get?

Ireland isn't the UK. Come England, more importantly Derby lol http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/uk/all-roads-lead-here-as-the-romans-used-to-say-2219836.html

All roads lead here - maybe we should move the meet here then lol

[Jason_E]

Fixed 50mm, f/1.8.

[SceneBM]

photos look so good
white is also so good

[Jorge]

Haha, the only lens I ever use now

[Minuki]

My 50mm F1.8 is great too !

What's everyone up to?

[Jorge]

Completed Bloons 2, just doing a couple of presentations for the meeting next week...

[Anonymoose]

Looking for an 8mm and 10mm 10-point socket to split my wheels, anyone has?

[Jorge]

See my post in your other thread

[Minuki]

Completed Bloons 2, just doing a couple of presentations for the meeting next week...

Classic game. Might play it later :D

[Jorge]

Problem is my works machine is pretty dated and the size of the Ninja Kiwi games kills it badly, so Tower Defence doesn't work when you have loads of monkeys lol. Oh how sad this is.

[Minuki]

Lol, same with the schools computer. They got hella slow

[Jorge]

Whats everyone got planned before the next meet?

Hopefully I'll have new wheels, fog, wing and coilovers.

[Anonymoose]

See my post in your other thread

Yeah man, cheers. PM'd the shit out them

[Anonymoose]

Whats everyone got planned before the next meet?

Hopefully I'll have new wheels, fog, wing and coilovers.

Looking forward to seeing that shh. I'll have re-finished my mito's, more wides, hopefully the same lows that I have now which is a bit more than the last meet, oh and new front arm rear bushes :)

[Jorge]

Looking at your sig I'm baffled as to how you can get more lows or poke?

[chris_newcoololdschool]

Proper lows, new wheels obv, maybe some decent stance. And bumpers finally painted :)

[Jason_E]

photos look so good
white is also so good

Chears fella :) Your new wheels look sweeeeet from the teasers.

Haha, the only lens I ever use now

It'll be mine now!

[Jorge]

FFS, lights just gone in my office, it was already just 1 bulb so now I'm sat in near darkness as the healthy and safety gods forbid me from climbing on my chair / desk to change it.

[Anonymoose]

haha fuck the H&S officers, it's the same here, they have to get someone in to change them and they move all the desks, use a a-frame ladder when the desk is probably safer! wtf? Just change it and deny it was out all together :)

I'll show ya at the meet Jorge, I'm talking mm's here not a great deal but noticeable to me. It's sitting where the wheel protecting part of the tyre is at the moment, no rubbing at all, but with my new spacers it might have to come back up to how it is in my sig depending on how much I can rape the arches

[Jorge]

I quite like the dark, people keep thinking my office is empty and walking past lol

Yeah, I wan't to get mine sitting tyre wise the same as your sig, can't get the same poke without thinner tyres so can't wait to see them at the meet.

[Jorge]

YouTube - Cat Laser Bowling


I can't stop laughing

[sCrapp]

Thats brilliant haha,
gotta try that with the dog tonight..

[Jorge]

I'm gona try it with my rats tonight lol they chase after shoe laces and other toys like cats, so I think I could take em bowling.

[Jason_E]

That's fucking genius!

[Jorge]

Didn't work with my rats :(

[sCrapp]

did you video it 'not working'?

My dog seems to be limping now,

he ran into a wall before i even tried the bowling part.

[Jason_E]

When my mums mental dog was an even more mental puppy it used to go bat shit crazy for the lazer pen. Then it'd carry on looking for the red dot for at least half an hour afterwards.

Cats are better though.

[Jorge]

Cats > Dogs

can't wait to get my own place so I can buy a cat lol

Meet Ella, cat's are awesome! Plus, she's grown up with a set of BBS's on the floor, a recaro pole position and takata harness - scene cat ftw.

[Jorge]

You have a nice pussy Simon

[sCrapp]

Are gold wheels a bit lary for my car?

Cant work out whether to go gold or gunmetal, on a new set of wheels, with polished rim

[Dudermagee]

Cats > Dogs

can't wait to get my own place so I can buy a cat lol

what?
I thought all you dudes from the UK love dogs
at least thats what top gear tells me

[ratmog]

i'd say stick with gunmetal.
the car is a statement as it is! you don't need your wheels going overboard and screaming LOOK WHEELS

in other news:
http://i55.tinypic.com/124edcw.jpg

i think this guy could drive under my car if he wanted to.

[Anonymoose]

what?
I thought all you dudes from the UK love dogs
at least thats what top gear tells me

This aint oz :rofl

Wait when did this become the OG random thread?

[Jorge]

haha, I was also surprised when I found out not everything said on TG was factual.

cats are the lazy persons pet.

[sCrapp]

They put a giant dog in front of it to make it look smaller.

I think thats a tad OTT, but i guess thats what they were going for

[sCrapp]

Cats dont do anything, other than scratch my bonnet up when they sleep on my car :shifty

And cheers for the advice. Did think it may be a little lary.

[Jorge]

A pale gold centred wheel with polished lips would look dope on your car.

But so would 99% of wheels. Black is easy to match colours with.

Cats chase shit around and purr too.

[ratmog]

good point, that is one huge great dane
