Look, I appreciate all this and I really do understand. I have never got an issue with paying fairly for work that needs to be done to my car. What pisses me off royally are incidents like my trip to the BMW dealership last month.

He was a truly terrifying man. I pulled this point up about a year ago after I read the (old) James Hunt biography. He also once said "a car is overengeneered if it lasts more than one race". Psycho.

You know you're a geek when you look at the title in the first picture "P4RTY T1M3" and think wow, T1 to home, but are genuinely confused as to what the car has to do with it?

I can't believe I just got RickRolled.

"How could you lose a white Lamborghini with two great looking chicks in it, out in the middle of nowhere?"

Crap, just realised I didn't link to the story [www.geardiary.com]

Does nobody remember that the REAL 1986 "2015" Nike Mags only sold for $5300?

F*CK YOU NIKE.

They'd best not do like the last lot. I was SO PISSED when the Delorean inspired kicks were 'limited'.

Ah, but the vette IS imported by Chevrolet. Good points though.

Sooooo. Would you consider hiring a Brit who can't come in to the office because I'm across the pond? If so, I may just throw my hat into the ring, old chap.

Seriously. You can get a Mustang (RWD, stick) for $22k and you're excited about Ford "...bringing cheap awesomeness back to the lineup". This from a country that already has the Challenger ($24k) and Camaro ($22k) and is now apparently looking forward to a $41k FWD souped up hatchback?

That's al well and good 'laterally' in 1D but in 3D you've a whole new set of problems in the Y & Z axes. Now, teaming this with a fuzzy logic to figure out who/where your enemy is and adapt the heat map their perspective? THAT's cool.

Toxic waste. Available all across the UK. Srsly.

All these answers. And yet, NOBODY has mentioned the M70 which singlehandedly brought V12 motoring to the masses without Lucas smoke.

+1. I live in the UK and don't want to miss the great tech news I get on US Giz.

+1 for both. I'm not an Apple fanboy (far from it in fact - but now is neither the time nor place for this).

ZOMFG. I've just moved to Surrey. AWESOME WIN.

Yep. HP lied by omission. By the time I found out, it was 4pm on the day and they'd all gone.
