My degree was in design and animation so I have made a few short films in the past :) it depends what kind of stuff you want to have a go at, but it is a lonnnnng road. If you have any questions give me a shout :) I have quite a lot of experience with 3d cg animation, modelling, stop frame, after effects, flash and matte painting/story boarding etc

bloody ebay thieves.
Bad luck mate - I don't think there is anything you can do though, complaining to eBay or not... PayPal has strict policy to ensure buyers are protected and it work very well to protect against fraudulent sellers, but equally relies on the seller using tracked postage for them to not be ripped off. I used to run a small eBay shop posting around 20 items a day and would get at least a couple per week saying the items went missing. I can't believe there are that many theif buyers, but can believe there are gaps in the Royal Mail which will lose parcels all the time. As frustrating as it is I think you will have to trustable buyer, and just never post non recorded unless you are willing to take that risk. Best regards, William

RIP Jess...
Oh so sorry to hear that, must have been awful. I am thankful he was gone and it was quick at least, it would have been hell if he was only injured.

RIP Jess...
Again thanks for the words guys, it was exactly that - they get dozy in old age and jus stop being aware of the cars. Slowly coming to terms with it. He will e a dearly missed part of the family.

RIP Jess...
Thanks for the words guys, I know it was just a horrible accident and he did have a good much loved life, and this year he was given lost of treats too as he was so old.

RIP Jess...
Just wanted to pass on respects to my cat Jess, he was 19yrs old and I had had him since I was 6... he was pretty slow and old but was always so loving and affectionate. He had become quite ditty and would sit behind the cars as they were reversing etc, tonight while driving down the drive next to the house he must have walked out from a bush just as out of sight... my front wheel got him.... Poor poor bugger, I think it was quick for him at least but I am really devastated. He was one of the family. To lose him I knew was going to be bad and upsetting eventually, but for it to be on my hands.... unbearable. http://williamschestnutts.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/1239624_10151907418364540_462800240_n.jpg?w=497 And althoguh i wasn't going fast or anything it has really brought home how devastating cars and accidents can be to lives.... Drive save all. Peace

"Remapped by NISMO"? Really! lol
I would be wary of this car... It was for sale about 8 months ago on ebay. The seller was someone who could barely speak a word of english (I struggled to get any questions answered, and had to call a guy in Pakistan or somewhere like that...). It had recently had a respray and looked clean but the mileage was high and the gearbox was pretty worn out. At the time it was advertised for a reasonable price given the mileage I guess, £1200 i think if I remember right. I was tempted as it was before I bought my baby, but quickly thought better of it after investigating. - - - Updated - - - ...also, 390Bhp on a 140K engine?.. No thanks.

.. So for a final update... After I thought the initial vac leak had been fixed (corroded recirculation pipe) it turned out that it STILL had a vac leak and the recirc valve was rotting away and replacing taht fixed the rough idle and missfires!!! 5* for Jeff from ZedWorld, great chap, many thanks!! :)
