Boom, love that shit.

Last day at home before I go back to the muff and the weather is perfect, no wind, shade on the drive, neighbours out, rotary time! Brilliant Black at its most brilliant. I went over the leathers with a heat gun and shrunk them down so they are neater, pulled them out and fully wet vac and steam cleaned the carpets, did all the annoying cleaning things you never really bother to do. Just desperate to get some 18's and a new front bumper on it.

A3 got me to Basingstoke without blowing up, whopee. Even smashed some cock in a Boxster with 60kg's of luggage and my missus on board. Torque ***. Went to Prawns last night for dinner and took him out in the car, all is well with him. Going to Parsons Performance in Brighton with him this morning to pick up gearbox number 7. Yey. All is good.

I'll bet that within six weeks of this whole Korea shit ending their national treasury is funded by the Rothschild family. Who wants to set up a sweep stake?

Whilst that may be your moral opinion; it isn't fact or law. It is the typical outcome of the legal system. I agree with you, I agree with you 100%. But it wouldn't stand up in court. If I refused to pay my council tax for instance, they couldn't do a single thing about it if I presented my case within the right context and law and legislation were actually taken into consideration. But because law means NOTHING and is totally one sided it will always land in state favour. In a legal sense; I have never agreed to a single statute law in my life. So why should I be governed by them? Fear is all that keeps me from breaking the law, not the law itself. Is that the way the system should operate? There are countless stories in the US where people have filed against state taxes, fines, penalties etc. Statute and commercial law are quite often exploited through this means. TV license and right of access is another one, if you cancel your tv license. And tell them that the license is no longer required, then revoke their right of access to your property they would be trespassing and thus breaking the law to even test the incoming signals on the exterior of your property. And as they couldn't legally trace them to your property they couldn't recover any fines. I know this for fact, because my father has been doing it for 8 years and I have for three years. Both of us have been threatened with court which was easily shrugged off with a written letter regarding trespassing and revoked rights of access. If they did go to court with it, how could they prove it without breaking the law themselves? So why do people pay their TV license? Fear. Fear of entering the unjust legal system. The same fear that stops people breaking laws they have never contractually agreed to adhere to. Law and order in general is all bollocks, whilst I don't believe in a lot of theories and shit it is all very interesting.

How do we feel about this... As part of your birth certificate you are being submitted to the general registry office and as such to adhere to statute UK law. As you are not conscious and permitting of your registration of birth would you say that your very participation in the entire statute law system is entirely forced upon you. And in any court of law you would as a free man be a representative of a birth certificate rather than your person and as you were not conscious of your registration and not of a system of statute law that you were unknowingly enrolled in. Post hoc ergo propter hoc you were not actually contractually obliged to adhere to statue law.

The dogbone bush will be the issue Mike.

Custard.

All of the above is true.

If I'm honest, I probably won't go despite wanting to. I'm super lazy.

I can't do anything in September due to work. So I guess that works for everyone else.

No point looking now, everything could change when it actually comes to it. I love looking at cars as much as the next bloke, but your budget, the availability of vehicles and the models within that budget will change hugely in twelve months. As a first car, personally I would suggest a diesel Mk3 Golf estate for you. Cheap, reliable, spacious, easy to find and easy to fix. Perfect first car for somebody who wants to lug shit about in relative safety and comfort.

Hot tramp! I love you so!

LPG S4 Avant.

^^Whoop.

Careful driving is not the way to bed pads like that in. 20-30 hard as possible stops from 100, then a gentle drive for as long as you can without braking then allow them to fully cool before driving again. *Just to clarify I don't mean 20-30 actual stops, I mean slowing down to that sort of speed. You should be looking to repeat that process until the pads stink and are smoking. Which on road pads is usually 4/5 cycles and on race pads more like 10/15 cycles. If you were able to view the discs during this process you would see pad material transfer to the discs and the color change from bright silver with a criss cross pattern from machining to a light grey surface with concentric scoring rings on the discs. The aim of "bedding in" brakes is to transfer a layer of adherent pad material to the discs which allows them to perform at their best in an even and controlled way. If you just gently touch the brakes and take it easy the pads will remain in an abrasive state and will just score the discs, resulting in a shit brake for the life of the discs and pads.

They do. And these are the A6 German domestic market winter wheels - Winter wheels for Audi A8's and A6's. But you would need adapters and they cost a fortune.

Nope, it shouldn't effect the angle of the drop link in a way which could snap it. Not my call though to be fair, Seamons and Prawn were the ones who confirmed this setup so any questions are probably best pointed at them. I've never heard it be a problem with anyone else though.

They won't snap.

I've always had 312's. However I'll be having Prawns Brembos by the looks of it, so wether or not I do end up with DS2500's and 312's for you to try I don't know. But obviously you're more than welcome to it whenever you want.

I'm going to get DS's. My mine is made up from the times I've driven with them. I'd have 3000's if I could.

Might be easier to just fit DS2500's, then you can just gently press the brake pedal and you'll smash your head against the screen.

I don't need to do the test to satisfy my own opinion; because I've driven two identical A3's and mine was shit and the DS's were immense.

No, I really did. I don't really care Ads/Seamons, in fact I don't give two f**ks Rainbird can have and will have whatever pads he wants, and as somebody who enjoys a good drive I'm sure he'll make the right choice for him once he's considered the options.

Nope. I'll NEVER accept this, so you might as well agree with me or be prepared for a long and gruesome battle over it. I don't care what anybody says, I'm totally f**king astounded that you guys are arguing OEM pads over DS2500's for somebody who is looking to increase the power of their car by almost 30% over standard. I literally cannot believe it. I cannot find a single review, comment, thread, or suggestion that DS2500's aren't a massive improvement over stock pads across loads of different platforms. Other than from you guys. And having personally driven my own car with OE pads for four years I cannot put into words just quite how much of an improvement in all areas the two cars with DS2500's I've driven have been. Most people don't even have a clue how to bed them in, and as such they're shit for the life of the pad. Prawn made this mistake with his first set.
