  1. I must admit mine was awful the only time I've driven it in snow... Rear wheels scrabbling around like crazy and going anywhere but in a straight line trying to go forward up a slight incline! :D Then again I do have and auto and 18's with not much life left in the tyres!!! Aah well, I'll have to skive or something if it gets real bad...
  2. http://www.infosecnews.com/news/index.cfm?...d&newsType=News What is happening to the world????
  3. Its a real shame to see her go Duncan.. I always looked at your car on the forum before I bought my IS and it changed my mind about Kensington Green IS's... Best of luck with your new wheels mate - which are?? :)
  4. P.s. completely I think my signature looks nice with the new forum colours B) The edges are still the old biegey colour tho... better fix that!
  5. I'll second that, I had to have the seals replaced on my old Pug because they dried out from me not using the A/C (tight y'see! ). Anyway, it cost me £150 which could have been avoided if I'd fired up the A/C once in a while to keep the system lubricated. I was told that the Refrigeration gas contains a lubricant for the seals, not sure if its true or not but it seems to work! :)
  6. More delays... this is getting unbearable! Sony UK has confirmed this morning that Gran Turismo 4 will be delayed in Europe. Hopes of a December release for the hotly anticipated sequel on these shores have subsequently been dashed, with the PAL version now pencilled in for release in Q1 2005.
  7. UK release for GT4 is 14th December 2004. It was going to be early 2005 but SCEA kicked up a stink and demanded it before Xmas, so Polyphony Digital removed the on online element to get it ready :) A full online version will follow in 2005 apparently.
  8. Yes Maz, it is indeed an HPI Savage! :) Available at your local branch of Halfords by the way fellow LOC'ers ;) They are the best fun you can have legally and without a naked lady!
  9. Just checked in my boot.. an 18" wheel like the others.. :)
  10. Contrary to what I'd heard on the grapevine, Sony have confirmed we'll all be playing GT4 before Xmas this year! :o http://www.computerandvideogames.com/news/...y.php?id=109677
  11. I know a chap in SCEE </blatant show off>(I'm on the BAFTA interactive jury)</blatant show off> who reckons they are desparately trying to get it finished for an Xmas 2004 launch in the US. He thinks Jan/Feb launch in the UK if we're lucky. In the meantime Burnout 3 is bloody awesome, and Outrun2 is out next month - the demo is pretty good :)
  12. You get Cruise control on the Auto too, which is nice if you do a lot of motorway driving. Also you get a nice leather gearknob on a 2000 Auto, which is much better on cold mornings than a metal knob. :) That said, the auto does feel slower than the manual, and its only a 4 speeder.
  13. Gray Key?! i didn't get a Gray key with mine, only two black keys! Whats weird tho is that my Black key only locks/unlocks the drivers door, not the central locking. Is this normal? <_<
  14. me too! :D i also have an HPI Savage (highly recommended guys - available from Halfords :yack: ), an RC10B4 and an RC10T3
  15. When I was looking for my Lex I was told by Lexus Tunbridge Wells that the Styling Kit added £500 to the price of a 2nd hand IS200. But when I actually bought my car from Twickenham the salesman told me they had reduced the price of my car by £250 because they couldn't sell it as it had the styling kit and 18s!! :o Then again my car is a funny spec and probably quite hard to put a value on. Their loss... my gain! :D
  16. Is it worth mentioning that they do a 6 cylinder Altezza too (AS200), They are cheaper to buy if you don't mind not having the "L" badge and this might offset the extra insurance cost. That said, the BHP is exactly the same as the UK Lexus (am I right?) but if its lighter, it might feel punchier. :)
  17. Grr.. I've had a Gmail account for about 6 weeks now, and no bloody invites! :( Do i have to send a certain amount of emails for them to give me the invites? If I get any, I'll gladly share them...
  18. I'd have one, if anyone fancies starting a GB... :)
  19. will he be "hertsALTEZZAallan"? you could register your nipper too Col and have a whole fleet... :) ;)
  20. www.apple.com/powerbook :) And before you all come round and lynch me, it does word, excel, web-browsing and Champ Manager, with the added bonus of no viruses
  21. Clivedon might be a bit far for me... Actually its not the distance, rather those effing roadworks but Heathrow If everyone else wants to go there tho, I spose i could haul my lazy butt over there :) Anymore thoughts on Enfield? How about Epping forest? - too far east?
  22. Col, I'm up for it if its near Enfield or that part of the world... If its too far west might be hassle getting round the '25. (I live just off the A12).. Also, can't do 21/22nd as its V festival. sorry... :( definately up for the week after tho.
  23. I reckon (subject to confirmation) that I'd like 2.. some chaps at work were looking at buying them anyway, when you get the order together, could you PM me and I'll confirm if i want them?
