Why are people wanting something to be done about this?I cant understand.Why do we all give a **** about racism?The people involved,loosers with no room for intelligent argument or discussion.Why should a country,sport or team be penalised for the actions of a few individuals.Do we really believe when Hamilton says,he was upset by the racist chanting etc.I dont believe him,because every ethnic group of people living or working in any country are aware of the fact that racism is all around them and if they are suddenly shocked by the attituides or actions of people then they were either expecting too much from life or are just plain naive.Lots of people dont like the colour of my skin and once or twice in my life ive been on the recieving end of racist verbal attacks,however it really doesnt affect me.Why?Well because we cant change the world,we can only change ourselves and hope that has some effect.What pisses me off about this country in general nowadays is the fact that it doesnt matter if your white/black/brown or green most people have some sort of chip on their shoulder about racism and how they are affected negatively.Just stop moaning FFS,nothing is gonna change and if we arent careful those chips will eventually become huge logs that we carry around,eventually ruining our lives.If a country opens its doors to the world,then that government is brutally aware of what their agenda is and how they will benefit from it,even if joe public the voter hasnt gotta clue.

i think its more about disposable cash.All our family cars have personalised plates,alot with the car name in the reg plate.However its more of a luxury than a need.If you just spent £50k on a car,an extra £1k is nothing to personalise it,especially if you like the car.

Im completely understood him. However I was not aware that that any garage could use OEM parts and retain the waranty. Id be very interested to see where the warranty paperwaork does or doesnt state this.
My further query would then be, is the standard clutch identical that used in the SC version? If not then it would be quite easy for them to prove that they uprated the clutch in the SC versions due to the standard one not being up to the task. However if the standard clutch was used, and the they above stated law on fitting of OEM parts is true, then I cant see how they could say the SC caused the premature wear of the clutch.
Im sorry to be pedantic,but you demonstrated a misunderstanding by making a comment about your GF's business being VAT registered.your comment suggested that any VAT registered business could fit car parts.
All car manufacturers have to allow within the initial warranty period of the car,an allowance for customers to use independent garages to service vehicles as long as OEM parts are used and manufacturer guidelines are followed.In BMWs case its the initial 3 year period of the cars life,as soon as the extended warranty period begins you have to use service centres within the BMW network.I believe that the BER(car block exemption regulation)doesnt allow a manufacturer to stop independent garages from servicing customers vehicles,and further disallows manufacturers to reject warranty claims based on the use of independent service centres.
TTE supercharger uses the OEM clutch and there is no advice from TTE that an uprated one is required.
quote from the pdf below
"IN OCTOBER 2003, E.U. LEGISLATION AFFECTING
THE MOTOR TRADE CAME INTO FORCE. ITS FULL
TITLE IS ‘BLOCK EXEMPTION REGULATIONS 1400/2002’
(IN SHORT ‘BER’).
BER changes the way cars are serviced and repaired.
It gives motorists a lot more freedom in their decision
as to who should look after their cars.
Before BER, it was very difficult to have cars, which were still
covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, serviced anywhere
except a franchised dealer.
Now motorists can use any garage of their choice to service
their cars without invalidating the manufacturer’s warranty.*"
little bit of info-

I know, but my GF is VAT registered, that doesnt mean shes trained, qualified or approved to fit lexus parts and retain the warranty, any monkey can ring the tax man and become vat registered. I just cant see how being a VAT registered is going to make Lexus beleive that the parts were fitted by someone who may have made a mistake that led to the fault.
It means you can buy your new Lexus from Lexus, have it serviced by VAT Reg Garage using genuine Lexus/toyota parts, and the warranty will still stand 100%, nothing thay can do about it, its the LAW.
So Snowman has had genuine lexus/toyota part fitted by VAT Reg Garage, so he should have no problems at all, and as Mat has said, its down to Lexus/toyota to prove the supercharger did the damage,
that is 100% correct.And its their job to PROVE the supercharger caused the damage.Loggyboy youve misunderstood what Gord was saying.He means VAT reged garage with OEM parts,he isnt suggesting that any VAT registered business can fit it.

Been reading some interesting thread around the web about the Ring this year;
Firstly, their cracking down on noise pollution not just the so called random tests where quiet cars were picked.
Ben Lovejoys updated his site here: Click me
Secondly the German filth are cracking down on dodgy modded cars. And demanding TUV certificates.
See here: Ben Lovejoy, again and here: Clicky
I think i should be ok but i'll prob take my MOT certificate with me just to have some sort of proof.
Stav
interesting Stav,think ill have to have mine put back to std then
i had my car noise tested at simpsons the other week and it was 97db-may have to change something now.And how do I go about getting TUV certs for my ESS supercharger conversion?

"quick question-if youre on call you arent allowed to leave the hospital.how are you managing to leave?also are you F2 or ST1,i noticed you mentioned youre a junior doctor so why not use the hospital accomodation-its generally £300/400 a month-not that much for a junior doctor,and which deanery are you under btw?i know lots of hospital doctors under practically every deanery there is-although most are under the Mersyside deanery. "
Hi
This job is non-resident on-call, with a large catchment area. Currently ST2 in Wales Deanery (qualified before FP started, thankfully, was an old-style SHO for a bit).
It would be cheaper to live-in, but the accommodation is notoriously dire, and anyway I live with the other half.
Back to the local DGH soon, so petrol costs will be massively reduced :D
Are you in 'the trade'?
All the best
oh makes sense now,no im not in the job yet,still studying-and not sure if im going to start either.Both my Fiancee and sister are ST2 doctors,fiancee is in Anaesthetics and sister in Psych,one under mersyside and the other, under Manchester deanery.Im sort of a little annoyed at the work load they are under and the facts you mentioned earlier about abusive and ungrateful patients,when i started med school i was a little bit ignorant of these facts and didnt think there was so much work involved,even though both my parents are GPs and insisted it wouldnt be a cruise.If anything i want to get into Primary care,as it seems getting to consultant level is harder than its ever been and most of my friends and family within medicine are either in or have completed their GP training and are making quite good money as either salaried/partnered GPs within mid/large size practices,easy 9-5pm job really-if youre salaried.Also dont know whats happened over the last 10 years but medicine has changed and so have hospitals-as consultants have now given up most of their power to managers making the places target driven as you mentioned earlier,lots of machine like protocol and too little money within hospitals in the junior ranks.Btw i appreciate what you say about the hosp accomodation it is no doubt dire-ive had to stay over at many hospital accomodations over the last few years and its horrid-however i suppose if youre a resident then its either that or buying a flat locally only to be moved on to some other hospital within the year.anyway nice chatting to you.

Nice one dad

Yikes! That must have been a really fun 6 1/2 hours on New Years Eve!! Hope you're on the mend.
Point in case about cost; I'm on call tonight, just been called (00.45h) to see a patient. Once the person turns up at the unit*, it will take me 50mins to drive there, an hour to assess the patient and a further 50min drive home. For this period I will earn £5 per hour, so by the time I figure in petrol costs, I will actually be out of pocket for seeing this patient. Of course, there will be no cost to the patient themselves - compare this to the cost of calling out an emergency plumber for 3 hours.........................
*as so many people didn't bother to even turn up once referred, we now wait until they turn up before driving out
quick question-if youre on call you arent allowed to leave the hospital.how are you managing to leave?also are you F2 or ST1,i noticed you mentioned youre a junior doctor so why not use the hospital accomodation-its generally £300/400 a month-not that much for a junior doctor,and which deanery are you under btw?i know lots of hospital doctors under practically every deanery there is-although most are under the Mersyside deanery.

Great car!
Raj has a nice one; I'm sure he will be along shortly....... :)
In the meantime, check out www.evotechnik.net and www.bmwland.co.uk for more info :)
hmmm,nice fast motor!!343hp,had mine weighed before the supercharger went on and its 1470kg-its one quick car and the handling on M cars is sublime-you wont regret getting one.Mine is SMG and i love it,makes life very easy for everday life and track work.I would say you can find a nice example in the £18k mark at the moment,lots of 02 cars around with sat/nav,tv,smg all the best bits to have and low mileage.Only disadvantage of the car are the expensive consumables,just had to fork out £800 for PS2s all round and cos mine is still under warranty i got it serviced last month by BMW,inspection II cost me £700 and inspection I is around £550.Independent bmw specialists arent much cheaper either,about £100 less on both aforementioned services.Modifications are more expensive than the Lexus too,superchargers approx £5k,decent coilovers £2k,BBK kits £2.5k,decent zorsts £1k.I use simpson motorsport,they are doing my supercharger conversion and other bits

try and get some csl wheels too,great mod-much lighter than the 19s and 18s for the regular M3 and they dont cost loads,about £1.2k-make the car look better.and never buy an M3 that had its 1200 mile running in service later than 1700miles-if you engine failure,BMW will not warranty the engine-even though they have tried to sell many cars which exceeded this mileage-they simply wont cover you-its terrible practice,but they dont seem to care.
this is a good un-comes with 6 months bmw warranty-gives you a good chance to resolve any issues the car may have.
52,000 miles, Silver '02, Black Leather, 19" alloys, BMW Warranty (which was £1050) until June '08, Full BMW Service History Including Inspection II, correct running in(1200 mile) service carried out,Recent Pzero Rosso Tyres, excellent condition. Garaged, I have owned the car for over 3 yrs.MOT June '08 Registered Aug '02 FBMWSH All Recalls completed correctly. BMW 6 disc CD changer,complete Key set Multi-func steering wheel Front Centre Arm Rest Headlamp Washer System Front Foglamps Bi-Xenon Headlamps Dynamic Stability Control Remote Control Alarm Electric Seats Park Distance Control Rain Sensor Tyre Pressure Sensor Climate Control, 3 previous owners. £17,295. ono
Best thing to do is-find a car you like,then call bmw customer services and give them the reg,they can tell you the history and all recalls that have been done-good luck.

Hi Mate,good choice there.My sister runs a 54 plate 3.2l DSG TT and i think they are great cars,that one has 250hp.I dont know much about the 225hp one.Is it turbocharged?I know they handle beautifully and most of them are capable cars,especially the ones with over 200hp.My sister has the DSG box and they dont recommend owning one of those boxes without an audi warranty,cos they are expensive jobs when they go wrong.I think the cars are pretty solid in the handling department,they look good and they sound good too.My sister has the full milltek system on and the note at full chat is awesome.good luck with the purchase.
