Went for a Sunday drive with a pretty big grin.

I was thinking the bag of grease was a little measly? Any idea what it is? I'm got a metric f**k-ton of copper grease and moly-slip, but this looks like something else?

I once heard a song by 'Rizzle Kicks' on the radio, I immediately regret that.

I fit new my new engine mounts, no crane/supports available so I bodged my own.

That's a monster. Love it. I'm happy because I has assembled my new shifter and got some new engine mounts; Hopefully to be fitted this weekend. Also theres a group-buy on Clio RARBs so hopefully that will go through and I can get myself one of those also.

Just a daily. £50 a corner on Camskill, seems decent, will look into them.

Can't think of much that's more tedious than painting something which is already caked in 10 years of rust and will probably be seized again by the time the paint dries. They really do, especially considering what came off. You guys have both had 172s, thoughts on tyres? All four of mine are looking a little sorry.

I bought new bits... Old bits were broke. So I out them on. And sadly my discs aren't as beastmode as Prawns but none the less...

I'm going to the Belgian GP the August weekend, but can do September.

I feel though I could bring the wheels for a TF car meet, location and date dependant. 1. TB Mansfield, ng17 2. Mike, TN34 3. Robin, Chard, TA20 4. Jardo, Plymuf, PL2 5. Spunky, Norwich NR16 6. Jolfa, Cornwall TR12 7. Rainbird, PL4 8. Dan. MK18 9. Steve MK7 10. Skoze, Brighton BN2 11. Paul NG7/IP19 12.Trist, NN13 13. Stuart OX29 14. Liam Dn19 15. Allen LE12 16. Prawn RG22 17. Haz RG45

Sounds so good.

Rainbird's car be pimpin'. Mine is less pimpin'. A couple of weeks back it decided 4 spark plugs wasn't the way to go, so it popped one. Luckily the inlet sits on top of the rocker cover and stopped the plug going through my bonnet. This is what the plugs looked like after limping home 2 miles... Compared to the old plugs from the last change. And this is what they did to my HT lead... Stripped the top down endoscope in the cylinder etc, compression test, all good. New plug, new set of HT leads, and it ran like a bag of spanners, worst misfire I have ever heard. Tested the coil pack and was all fine replaced the coil pack anyway and 2 minutes later the engine was back to normal. Got the car booked in to have the sump resealed, some ARP rod bolts put in (ready for cams/remap later this year) and every thing will be hunky dory. Also... Shiny.

So got back from Le Mans last night. It was great as usual. A mate and I broke out to the Mulsanne Straight at about 2am to watch some of the cars. [media=] We were about here]https://maps.google....e&t=h&z=19

Driving down to Le Mans in the Clio tomorrow. Should be good, if a little wet.

You can get them so much better than that if you use a machine polish. Is my mates Cup after we gave his a good seeing too. I would have thought you of all people would have that shit shinier than a shiny thing which has been recently shined.

It's all about the ITBs. I've not been in a RS2'd Clio, but I've been in a ITB'd 182 with a Yozza Race exhaust and it was epic. If I had the cash, I would be all over it.

For what it's worth, I'm rocking the same A6 Wacom tablet, no sweat.

http://examine.com/supplements/Creatine/ Will answer any questions, especially the Rubric of effects.

It's basically a Danny Dyer film without Danny Dyer. And that doesn't mean it's good. If anyone hasn't seen Drive, it's the best goddamn film from last year.

Fair enough, FM. Here is the rest of what I wanted to post... While it is true, protein shakes are not as cost effective as even basic chicken, they are a valid, well tested and well proven supplement*. Tesco Value Chicken at £3.50 for 2kg(total mass) at ~28g/100g protein or 160g/£ is less expensive than Blended Protein at £48.99 for ~5kg at ~78g/100g protein or 80g/£, but the convenience of shakes far outweighs this cost. I agree there is no way to gain strength or size past lifting heavy. I disagree massively about how much protein will aid someone training to lift heavily. When you perform any exercise, your body damages itself, it is the repair and recovery, which allow you to get bigger and stronger, no protein, no repair, simple. The ACTUAL secret to muscle building is sleep. Lifting priorities for an active lifter (of any calibre) go SLEEP > DIET > TRAIN. If your sleep is bad, your diet won't matter and if your diet is bad, your training won't matter. Those are all great sources of nutrition, don't get me wrong. But you can eat what you like, IF IT FITS YOUR MACROS. If your regular diet doesn't provide enough protein, a shake as a supplement* is a damn good way to bring it back to your macro. It's the same with any supplement, be it creatine or caffeine, etc. NEVER! *The important thing to remember, is that protein shakes are a SUPPLEMENT, and are by no means a SUBSTITUTE, for a balanced and healthy diet.

It's only a way to estimate, but it's worked for countless people far more educated and far far better trained than I. I don't know the science either, but that sounds right. Never used them myself, but online is definitely the way to go. www.myprotein.co.uk are relatively well regarded for their products and competitive prices. As for Flip-Mod, I disagree with some of your comments. Both Olympic lifters and power lifters train solely for 1 rep maxes. They are a legitmate goal and a very good bench mark of maximum strength. You need to make sure your body has everything it needs to rebuild the damage done whilst performing your exercise. Be it strength, size or endurance. The only advantage a brand might have is a better texture or taste. There are a number of companies who provide un-branded whey protein shake mixes which work every bit as well as the 'leading brands'. As long as you are giving your body what it needs, you can have it whenever. Before, after, with meals, it does not matter. The only thing you should account for are fasting periods, such as sleep of long shifts at work, and you should try and have a reasonable supplement* before them. Entirely dependent on your goals. For strength, yes, 6 is the upper limit. For size, 8-12 is fair. Any more and you should just up the weight, because you might as well not be trying. 6 max on heavy weight is a silly thing to say without any context. Need someone to reply so I can post the rest of the quotes without breaking the forum

Not true. It varies massively between people. The truth is your body breaks protein down very slowly, faster than it can be absorbed. However spread out reasonably through the day your body will make best possible use of ALL the protein you digest. Three part answer. 1) Yes it is massively important. In fact if you are working out with weights, you need to make sure you are getting enough protein above any other nutrient. Some would say protein intake is more important than calorie intake. 2) No, protein is not 'just like a big sponge'. Creatine, makes cells act somewhat like a sponge, but that is a whole another kettle of fish. 3)Proteins are amino acids vital for use in the repair of your muscle tissue after a work out. Gaining size is a product of having a calorie intake above your daily maintenance the number of calories required to exist, before exercise, average 2000 for a female, 2500 for a male. Losing weight is possible through having a calorie intake less than your maintenance. Strength however is a product of training your Central Nervous System (CNS) into recruiting more muscle. Strength is freaquently related to size, yes, because a bigger person has more muscle available to recruit. Body Builders, Power Lifters and Strong Men will all have a massively increased protein intake to facilitate their training, be it size or strength gains. Wrong, you should make sure you are taking as much as you need whenever you can get it. You can do it all at once if that's what floats your boat, but that would be awful. You are much better having 2/3 smaller doses throughout the day, to complement your meals and fasting periods such as sleep. Yes you are, he obviously knows jack. Most people would recommend 1g of protein per 1lb of lean body mass as a starting point. So if you weigh 70kg/155lbs, with a body fat percentage of 15%, your lean mass would be 59kg/123lbs. This means you ought to be making sure you are getting 123grams of protein every day, training or non training. A decent shake can be anywhere between 25g to 50g of protein, so find out what your normal protein intake is in your diet and adjust the number/size of your shakes to hit your quota. Short of that, buy a bag of unbranded whey protein and get it down you, you'll do just fine.

I'm not a fan of Beats, but the Monster Turbines are without doubt the best buds for the money.
