Why are the limits in use but not the hard shoulder then? I find it hard to believe that 40mph is the best. You're telling me that if you took two completely random pieces of motorway, 1 at 70mph and the other at 40mph, that the 40mph one would have more cars pass through? Doesn't really make sense to me, but then again, not much does generally.

Yep, now they are using them as a permanent measure to 'reduce congestion'. My arse. Our road networks are getting ridiculous, where else in the world is there be a speedlimit of 40mph on a 3 lane motorway?

Complete load of bollocks those things, they don't help to reduce congestion at all. I just came through them about an hour ago, and its damn frustrating when they are limiting 50 and theres absolutely nothing around. And also, why does it seem like i'm the only one sticking to the limits?

The lexus one is normal plastic painted in your choice of colour with an L badge. The trd one is exactly the same, except it comes with a trd badge for the corner and also comes in carbon fibre look plastic, which is literally just a design printed on. I can't seem to find any info on the c-west, are you sure one exists? Edit: Infact, i'm pretty sure that a c-west grill doesn't exist, only as part of their front bumper. There is also a 'hipposleek' front grill, which has a dividing piece down the middle.

Wow I really like those. I liked the others too, just the big silver bit in the middle put me off. These ones look OEM but have LED's. I like a lot.

I actually really like #2, not quite sure why. They are just a bit different.

I get about 28mpg for £25 worth of 97 ron petrol. Always has been, and it still is in the winter. I drive pretty slowly though and I do about half and half motorways and town driving.

Lower ron shouldn't do any damage to your engine, but it will run less efficiently and you will get a drop in performance. In a high-compression high-performance engine, cylinder conditions might let the lower ron stuff ignite too early. In extreme cases this can cause severe damage - because instead of a smooth rise in pressure as the piston is traveling down anyway, you get a pressure wave slamming into the piston as it's moving up. So basically, 91 should be fine for normal driving if you really want to use it. For what its worth, I would stick with the 95. My car much prefers starting on 97 ron than 95, so I dare not think what it would be like on 91 ron. Obviously, you will get more miles for your money with 91 ron since it is cheaper, so you can get more petrol for your money. Isn't it reccommended that we run it on 95 ron anyway?

Theres a guy that lives close to me, absolutely massive display, including a full nativity set! The guy is an electrician, so he does a load of stuff to promote his company, theres a couple of grands worth of lights decorating the place. I'll try and take a couple of pics at some point.

Nice. Should look good all sprayed up with the black lights.

I think it just says that for everyone. Theres no way for the group buy thingy to interact with paypal - we will just have to wait until it gets updated manually. Don't worry. :)

Me three.

Bleedin' hell! Things really are rock bottom for you. :( Look at it this way - you've had so much bad luck this last month or so that you are owed a run of a few years with only good fortune! I don't think i've ever heard such a run of bad luck before, I really do feel sorry for you mate.

Nice wheels! What make are they?

Added to the list. Payment will come shortly via my Dad's credit card since he already has a paypal account. Edit: all paid up now. :D

Believe it or not Sony actually use some pretty low rate electronics in their equipment. The PS2 uses the same technology for its CD drive as a computer from 1992. IMO, their products are way over priced for what you get. The Ipod is made better and certainly looks better, but it is still far from perfect. My reccomendation would be this. Its a brilliant piece of kit, nice and small, fairly unique (i've never seen anyone else using one since I have had mine), has a top quality built in radio and the sound quality is really indescribible - I have an Ipod too and the Iaudio p*sses all over it for quality, and any other portable music player I have heard for that matter. The only downside is that the largest size you can get is 2Gb and its fairly expensive for the size when compared to an Ipod, but I promise you won't regret it if you buy one. I have the 1Gb version and I am nowhere near filling it.

I shall hopefully be paying up for this soon. :D

Mine was hairy enough in the frost earlier this week, I dread to think what its going to be like in the snow. I kind of have an idea what the snow button is useful for since I've experimented a few times on empty fields - and it pretty much does bugger all. It should be interesting anyway...

Thanks for clearing that up Mat, sorry folks.

I may well be wrong, but I think they LSD has some fins on the back of the casing or something. I'm sure someone will come along and clear it up for us.

Those are the s*x! Love them.

Damn Nij, you really are getting the crappy end of the stick lately. Things can only pick up from here mate.

Did you expect him to? He didn't even say much about the S2000 which he actually has. I love how the spend more time on the crap ones at the bottom of the table rather than the good ones!

Good stuff, 2nd and 3rd places in the top gear survey for lexus. Nice!

I guess that has a built in booster or something then. Still, if its thirty quid and a standard booster for £10 will work then I know which one i'd go for. ;)
