Top 10 motors (in my opinion) in order to number 1

 

1. Ariel Atom 300

Reason – fastest 0-100mph-0 for a production car 10.88 sec. and its made in Somerset!

 

2. Aston Martin DBR9

Reason – Quite possibly the best looking car ever, it’s British and it sounds and goes like a rocket.

 

3. Lancia Delta Intergrale Evo II

Looks like a golf goes like a Lamborghini. Multiple world rally champion – loves corners under £20k

 

4. Yamaha R1

Costs under £10k and will out run anything on 4 wheels (almost) in a strait line.

 

5. Bowler wildcat

The best four by four by far! Designed for Dakar Rally and built on a Landrover Chassis this beast will do 0-60mph in under 6 sec in the mud!

 

6. Peugeot 205 1.9 GTi

An icon of my youth the 205 GTi will give all modern GTi’s a run for their money and leave them for dust in the corners.

 

7. Koenigsegg CCX

The latest model of the already ‘super’ super car 250mph!

 

8. Vauxhall Astra SRi D

A diesel? Yes Vauxhall plans to release this 212bhp 1.9 TD this summer, will be easily tuneable to 300bhp!

 

9. Mitsubishi Evo  IX 400

This road rocket was proven on Top Gear to outperform a Lamborghini Murcielago, a 2litre 400bhp Turbo with wheels.

 

10. Original Mini cooper

And finally the old mini cooper, a go-kart for the road, not to quick but awful fun and cheap.

 

take a look at the two new albums, one containing random stuff and the other a bunch of photos from rock climbing on my Uni course.

anyone going to soul survivor this year? ive booked tickets.

im thinking of putting a google video related quiz on here, i made it on bebo, and people said it was fun. the basic idea is, i will ask questions about various videos, i will then add a link to it so you can go and check out the answers.

and thats 'how for now'

had a little accident today, well when i say that i mean i tried (note the TRY) to cut my own hair, well it was all going fine until the batteries ran out and the clippers jammed with a big tuft of my hair in them.

 

so being the educated person that i am, i thought don't panic, just go and get the charger from james and finish the job.

 

so i go down to james's room and plug the clippers in. I need to add at this point that i had the clippers on a very short setting, because i was trying to do the edges.

 

back to the story i plugged them in and turned them on, and they munched a fat piece of my hair away resulting in a huge bald spot on the side of my head!

 

i finished the job anyway, when done i tried combing hair over the bald spot in an attempt to cover it. well of course it wasnt going to work. so to save myself the humiliation i cut all my hair to the same short length.

 

so for the next month i am officially a skin head (well not quite but it is the shortest i have ever had it in my whole 20 years on this planet) take a look at the pics

today be the 18th of september, and this be meanin that Temorra' be International speak like a pirate day

here be some pirate talk i stole from one oh the many fan sites:

 

The basics

Pirate lingo is rich and complicated, sort of like a good stew. There are several other sites that offer glossaries that are pretty good, and you can find some of them on our links page.

But if you just want a quick fix, a surface gloss, a "pirate patina," if you will, here are the five basic words that you cannot live without. Master them, and you can face Talk Like a Pirate Day with a smile on your face and a parrot on your shoulder, if that's your thing.

Ahoy! - "Hello!"

Avast! - Stop and give attention. It can be used in a sense of surprise, "Whoa! Get a load of that!" which today makes it more of a "Check it out" or "No way!" or "Get off!"

Aye! - "Why yes, I agree most heartily with everything you just said or did."

Aye aye! - "I'll get right on that sir, as soon as my break is over."

Arrr! - This one is often confused with arrrgh, which is of course the sound you make when you sit on a belaying pin. "Arrr!" can mean, variously, "yes," "I agree," "I'm happy," "I'm enjoying this beer," "My team is going to win it all," "I saw that television show, it sucked!" and "That was a clever remark you or I just made." And those are just a few of the myriad possibilities of Arrr!

Advanced pirate lingo; or On beyond “Aarrr!”

Once you've mastered the basics, you're ready to start expanding your pirate vocabulary. Try these for starters

Beauty – The best possible pirate address for a woman. Always preceded by “me,” as in, “C’mere, me beauty,” or even, “me buxom beauty,” to one particularly well endowed. You’ll be surprised how effective this is.

Bilge rat – The bilge is the lowest level of the ship. It’s loaded with ballast and slimy, reeking water. A bilge rat, then, is a rat that lives in the worst place on the ship. On TLAP Day – A lot of guy humor involves insulting your buddies to prove your friendship. It’s important that everyone understand you are smarter, more powerful and much luckier with the wenches than they are. Since bilge rat is a pretty dirty thing to call someone, by all means use it on your friends.

Bung hole – Victuals on a ship were stored in wooden casks. The stopper in the barrel is called the bung, and the hole is called the bung hole. That’s all. It sounds a lot worse, doesn’t it? On TLAP Day – When dinner is served you’ll make quite an impression when you say, “Well, me hearties, let’s see what crawled out of the bung hole.” That statement will be instantly followed by the sound of people putting down their utensils and pushing themselves away from the table. Great! More for you!

Grog – An alcoholic drink, usually rum diluted with water, but in this context you could use it to refer to any alcoholic beverage other than beer, and we aren’t prepared to be picky about that, either. Call your beer grog if you want. We won’t stop you! Water aboard ship was stored for long periods in slimy wooden barrels, so you can see why rum was added to each sailor’s water ration – to kill the rancid taste. On TLAP Day – Drink up, me hearties! And call whatever you’re drinking grog if you want to. If some prissy pedant purses his lips and protests the word grog can only be used if drinking rum and water, not the Singapore Sling you’re holding, keelhaul him!

Hornpipe – Both a single-reeded musical instrument sailors often had aboard ship, and a spirited dance that sailors do. On TLAP Day – We are not big fans of the capering, it’s not our favorite art form, if you will, so we don’t have a lot to say on the subject, other than to observe that the common term for being filled with lust is “horny,” and hornpipe then has some comical possibilities. “Is that a hornpipe in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? Or both?”

Lubber – (or land lubber) This is the seaman’s version of land lover, mangled by typical pirate disregard for elocution. A lubber is someone who does not go to sea, who stays on the land. On TLAP Day – More likely than not, you are a lubber 364 days of the year. But not if you’re talking like a pirate! Then the word lubber becomes one of the more fierce weapons in your arsenal of piratical lingo. In a room where everyone is talking like pirates, lubber is ALWAYS an insult.

Smartly – Do something quickly. On TLAP Day – “Smartly, me lass,” you might say when sending the bar maid off for another round. She will be so impressed she might well spit in your beer.

How much power ca you get out of a 2.0 engine? 200bhp? 300bhp? even 400bhp? new top of range mitsubishi evo 9 churns out 400bhp!

how much power can you get from a diesel 2.0?

Seat have taken one standard TDi150 to see what they can do - read on:

The engine itself is based on the 1.9 VW 150bhp, 230 lb.ft, 1896cc, 79.5mm bore by 95.5 mm stroke production TDi engine as fitted to the Leon, Golf, ibiza, Passat and Toledo, and the block, head and crank for the Tuned units are taken off the production line. But how do you get more performance out of a diesel? 

Whereas increasing engine revolutions is part of the process of extracting more power from a petrol-fuelled engine, the slowness of the diesel engine combustion process means that high rpm is not an option. In fact the TDi is governed to a maximum of 5000rpm. Thus, it was the engine's breathing system that came in for most attention, with enlarged ports, a huge hybrid turbo, the original turbo used as a second smaller boost at lower revs, a modified injection pump able to deliver more fuel and enlarged injector nozzles. A supercharger for sub 2000rpm. The cam and valves were also blueprinted, a lightened flywheel with an AP Racing cerametallic clutch was attached and the engine mountings were uprated. Re bore the capacity to 1998 cc. The car also boasts twin water spray-cooled intercoolers, akin to a WRCar, sited in front of the water radiator, and also a small fuel cooler, located at just above the water rad. twin pipe strait through exhast system. There is also an oil/water heat exchanger neatly plumbed in and located at right angles to the water rad just to the left front of the engine.

Needless to say , the control of the fuel injection is critical. and the custom built Remapped Bosch engine management system looks after that side, also controlling turbo boost. The result is a power output of just over 540bhp at 4100rpm, and torque of 547Ib.ft at 3500rpm.

 

In basic terms

so take a 1.9 150bhp TDi, rebore to 2.0 inc bhp to 160bhp

put a massive turbo on keeping the old one resulting in twins at 290bhp

modify the injection pump 320bhp

ram air and enlarged grinded ports 360bhp

twin water sprayed intercoolers 460bhp

exhast system 480bhp

and finally a fully customised ECU with a rolling road remap to contorl all the new "toys" takes it up to 540bhp

and a massive 547lb ft of torque!

this costs around £50,000 to tune, £20,000 for the car new so £70,000 for a 5 seater diesel supercar 

 

the car is estimated to do

0-60              3.7 sec

0-100            7.9 sec

0-100-0         12.1 sec

max speed    170+mph

 

it is possible to get a 150bhp NOS kit totaling 690bhp

so i purchased a male grooming kit (i think thats what it was) some tee tree wash and some stuff for me mum

lol mum got kinda scared when i came back with a whole load of makeup on and my other bro came back from a show he was in and he had makeup on too!

How To Terrorize McDonalds

 

Now, although McDonald’s is famous for its advertising and making the whole world think that the big Mac is the best thing to come along since sliced bread (buns?), each little restaurant is as amateur and simple as a new-found business. Not only are all the employees rather inexperienced at what they're ‘supposed’ to do, but they will just loose all control when an emergency occurs.... here we go!!!

First, get a few friends (4 is good...I’ll get to this later) and enter the McDonalds restaurant, talking loudly and reeking of some strange smell that automatically makes the old couple sitting by the door leave. If one of those pimply-faced goons is wiping the floor, then track some mud all over it (you could pretend to slip and break your head, but you might actually do so). Next, before you get the food, find a table. Start yelling and releasing some strange body odor so ‘anybody’ would leave their table and walk out the door. Sit 2 friends there, and go up to the counter with another. Find a place where the line is short, or if the line is long say "I only wanna buy a coke" and you get moved up. Now, you get to do the ‘ordering’ ...heh heh heh. Somebody always must want a plain hamburger with absolutely nothing on it (this takes extra time to make, and drives the little hamburger-makers insane). Order a 9-pack of chicken McNuggets...no, a 20 pack...no, three 6 packs...wait...go back to the table and ask who wants what. Your other friend waits by the counter and makes a pass at the female clerk (or if it’s a guy get them scared and pretend your gay). Get back to the thing and order three 6-packs of chicken etc....ask for some sauce of course, say that you all want barbecue sauce and all of your friends wants at least 3. Then they hafta go into the storeroom and open up another box. Finally, the drinks...somebody wants coke, somebody wants a beer (they will of course say they don’t have any beer so ask for cider, gin and tonic etc… eventually settle for a large milkshake), somebody diet coke and some one wants half diet half regular coke. After these are delivered, bring them back and say, "I didn't order a sprite! I ordered an orange Tango!" this gets them mad; they hafta throw the drink away; they can't sell it. After all the food is handed to you, you must never have enough money to pay (you must be around 20p short). The clerk will be so angry and confused that they’ll let you get away with it (another influence on them is your friend asking them "if you let us go I’ll go out with you" and giving them a fake phone number on a card). Now, back to your table. But first, somebody wants ketchup and mustard. And plenty (too much) of napkins. Oh, and somebody wants forks and knives (don’t let them go until you get some knifes and forks outta them). Have your friends’ yell out, "yay!!!!! We have munchies!!" as loud as they can. That’ll worry the entire restaurant. Proceed to sit down. So, you are sitting in the smoking section (by accident) eh? Well, while one of the tobacco-breathers isn't looking, put a sign from the other side of the room saying "do not smoke here" and he'll hopefully move...then he goes into the real non-smoking section, and gets yelled at. He then thinks that no smoking is allowed in the whole restaurant, so he eats outside (in the pouring rain). After your meal is finished (and quite a few splattered-opened ketchup packets are all over your table), try to leave. But oops! Somebody has to do his duty in the men's room. As he goes there, he sticks an uneaten hamburger (would you dare to eat one of their hamburgers?) inside the toilet bowl with loads of tissue, flushes it a while, until it runs all over the floor. Oops! Then complain and get a pimply-faced teenager to clean it up. (He won't know that brown thing is a hamburger, and he'll get sick. ha!) As you leave the restaurant, looking back at your un-cleaned table, somebody must remember that they left their chocolate shake there! The one that's almost full!!!! He takes it then says (loudly) "this tastes like crap!” then he takes off the lid and throws it into the bin...oops! He missed, and now the same poor soul who's cleaning up the bathroom now hasta clean up chocolate shake. Then leave the joint, reversing the "yes, we're open" sign (as a reminder of your visit. There you have it! You have just put all of McDonalds into complete mayhem. And since there is no penalty for littering in a restaurant, bugging people in a public restaurant (or throw-upery, in this case) you get off scot-free. Wasn’t that fun?

 

any more ideas , or offers to try out the theory, lol?
