  1. Ill be very happy if it does 26 mpg only got 200 miles on the clock so havnt tested milage yet and think its uses about a ltr of oil every 1000 miles to The high revs takes a lot of getting used too managed to stall it at 30 mph a couple of times ,but when it hits 3,000 rpm it goes like mad upto 6,000 rpm and 9,000 rpm when its run in you have to be willing to change gear all the time to get the best out of it but its worth it for the noise of the exhausts ,it sounds like you have 2 sports bikes following you
  2. i have garmin nuvi 360t it has a speedo screen with analog speedo and saved top speed, overall average journey speed, moving average speed direction of travel and odometer with camera warnings and live travel updates its a very good unit and its the only sat nav ive found that works with the apple mac for updates online and custom poi and hands free bluetooth
  3. Lovely looking car ,i was going to buy one but got a great deal on a rx 8 . The only thing is i thought the plastics were a bit cheap on the dashboard .The rx 8 seems a bit more solid ,but with the discounts the mazdas are lots cheaper than the octy vrs
  4. Was tempted by a new vrs but got a demo late 57 reg rx8 with 50 miles on the clock from mazda for £14,995 with mica paint full leather and the 9 speaker bose cd system im sorry but as good as the vrs is i couldnt get a good deal on one i know about the oil and high fuel use but you only have to drive one upto 9500rpm and you want to own one what ever the cost
  5. I've just sold my 06 octavia vrs which i've had from new.I really loved the car and was thinking of a remap but couldnt make up my mind ,so decided to look about to see what offers are on and took out a 57 reg rx8 231ps with full leather after 20mins test drive and a few days to check over the figures i put down my deposit .I will be sad to see the vrs go but cant wait to pick up the rx 8 on mon . This forum has been loads of help and great fun it seems a lot better than the mazda versions .I'll still give a flash to other briskoda members . Hopefully skoda will tempt me back in the future
  6. Hi im arborist be careful if you think of doing anything to a tree even if you think you own it The courts have powers to fine anyone contravening a TPO. The maximum fines are £20,000 for destroying a tree and up to £2,500 for anyone who does not completely destroy a tree but has carried out some other works without consent. It is no defence for a defendant to plead that they were unaware that a TPO existed on a particular tree unless the Council were the cause of such ignorance. weve nearly be fined for making safe storm damage on our own land depending on the councils they can be very strict unless it suits them

  10. Wild Little Owls are a nightmare to creep up on ,and the weather allways seems to be poor I had to use the dog as a decoy to sneak up on it hopefully they will come back and nest here again this year
  11. Ive had a 360 from launch and had a ps3 for a few months the ps3 has yet to be used to its best in games and most are still only 720p there psn network doesnt seem to work to well but at least its free Ive gone back to the 360 for there live service id sooner pay and have something thats usable but the ps3 matches the 360 on most things except the live play gaming I prefer hd dvd to blu ray at the moment it looks a bit better at the moment but im sure blu ray should be just as good or maybe the toshiba regza tvs prefer hd dvd input both great consoles the ps3 just needs to catch up a bit
  12.

  13. I just used a pair of cheap wire snips and just took the upper and lower edges off the grill only took a few mins and fits very easy now Might be tempted to change the grill pattern or size of holes in the future to try some other styles should be easy with the parts that come in the kit to fit had look at your pics the car looks very good
  14. sorry cant remember the postage had another order with it then pay pal etc on top
  15. Nearly all rescue knives are made to be opened in gloves with one hand and also lock for safety reasons Theirs plenty of trades that are required to carry one hand open lock knives in public places as long as your not flashing it about the police are pretty happy
