Just formatted and installed Win2000 from fresh. Great about 450mb fully installed. Miles away from the original 7.5mb of Windows 3.11 and even Windows 95 could be cut to about 20mb. But why after 450mb of installation, do I have to download over 100mb of service packs, and when installed make the Windows directory over 800mb. Then you install security pathces over 50mb, making the directory bigger, then its install Explorer 6, then its the patches for explorer 6, then its Windows Media Player 7, then the patches for the player. WTF!!!! Would it not be simpler to download and install an upto date copy of Windows straight from the internet. I have spent an hour for…

Just seen my ex, in her little Punto with her new man. She left me for some piece of Ayrshire shit. Funny thing was the twat & fat fuck was eyeing up my Z, looking in the window etc. Should have seen the cunts face when I came back to my motor (he doesn't like me). Stupid tosser then TRIED to race me, 1.2 peddle power against the Z. The winner? Answers on a post-card to...... They are perfectly matched, Thick as Greek style yoghurt.

For thousands of years, men have tried to understand the rules when dealing with women. Finally, this merit/demerit guide will help you to understand just how it works. Remember, in the world of romance, one single rule applies: Make the woman happy. Do something she likes, and you get points. Do something she dislikes and points are subtracted. You don't get any points for doing something she expects. Sorry, that's the way the game is played. Here is a guide to the points system: SIMPLE DUTIES You make the bed...........................+1 You make the bed, but forget to add the decorative pillows .... 0 You throw the bedspread over rumpled sheets …

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night. You pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus: 1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. 2. An old friend who once saved your life. 3. The perfect man (or) woman you have been dreaming about. Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car. Think before you continue reading. This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first; or you could take the old friend…

Hi All, Just took a trip up north to drop the car off at peter's for a respray, quickly stopping off to meet Mac1. Firstly I have to say that Mac1's car looks the Mutt's Nuts, the photos in the rides do not do it justice.The worse thing about meeting up with him is that he is a nice bloke as well!! By the way, Mac who's car had a post with picture that was done at Peter's recently, it was red with vents by the rear wheel as well? Then I meet Peter at PPS, he is realy helpful bloke with a very high quality paint shop, with an enthusiasm about what you want to achieve with your car, and again a nice bloke as well!! And Tim I will retract all those previous alle…

Hiya Guys, I have a 1991 Jap NA that has 245 40 16 all round with new P7000s. I am still getting a lot of back end slide despite new shox. Most probably the way I drive round corners in the wet. Just wondered would the slightly fatter rear stock alloys and tyres from the rear wheels of a TT fit onto my NA. And if so does anyone have any rear TT stock wheels for sale. Kind regardZ Amer.

The Shift At Will system that I'm selling now works with airbag equipped Zeds as well. How do you find the idea of shifting gears with the horn buttons? (You would have to press both to honk.) Thanks in advance for any feedback! Maciej ------------------ www.ess-racing.com

Dear all, Please help! My Z cut out on the way to work at low speed today and wouldn't re-start. No mis firing at all. After waiting for the AA geezer for 30 mins, he prodded a few fuses and it restarted. It stopped again after running perfectly for approx 7 miles. AA man arrived again, it stopped again after apprx 1 mile. It cuts out as I'm slowing down. Seems like something's overheating. It's got power to the plugs and fuel to the injectors... It's now at the main dealers :-( Any ideas anyone? TIA!! RobH
