@ Jojo,
LOL, that double-double barrel exhaust system is made by a British company called Blue Flame. Their quality is excellent. They also make a range of systems for cars.
They use titanium, carbon fibre and stainless steel.
Those particular pipes are called the Evo 3:

R2600.Wow.Thats a steal.I suppose if you cant move them,then you gotta flog them.
Been messing around on You Tube and all I can say is its not worth it.Its too damn hungry on the old megabytes.Like it hasnt been fed for months and just starts chomping away,and the shitty thing is you cant download any of the stuff you view (As far as I know.If anyone knows differently please let me know) I thought I was been clever where at the end of the video you have the option to share the video with someone,so I type in my email address thinking it will send the video to my inbox to download but all it does is send the link to view the video on the YouTube website.My ADSL daily usage was sitting at a healthy 25mb and after viewing 2 Nirvana music video's and a KOBUS live performance song Hoenderman and interview,it took the daily usage to just over a 100mb.Thats insanely insane.Im staying away from YouTube thank you very much. |

Lol @ Hobbs,i learnt my lesson about YouTube last week saturday, after watching PeterKay's video of the W960 and other W960 vids,then watching a Nokia N93 review, And I-Phone review bare in mind im using my phone as a modem and had only had 98mb left out of my 250mb data bundle, after streaming those videos in YouTube i had finished the 98mb i had left and on top of that spent another R100 after the bundle. I Will neva go back there unless im using my dads ADSL, didnt know it was so data hungry! All i do now is go to my Facebook, MySpace and Esato all these are great,not data hungry.

@ Hobbster,
I see what you mean. It does make for very interesting reading.
He rates the P990i above the P1i due to its more user-friendly flip keypad arrangement and associated advantages. That may well be true, but as I haven't tried both I can't comment, but he certainly seems to know his beans.
So do a lot of the others within the blog responses, but there's a lot of reading in there, and will take some time to digest it all.
He's very iPhone-orientated, apparently for many good reasons, but he has tried to water down some bias with listing his gripes with the iPhone too.
Now for all his seemingly vastly superior experience, knowledge and understanding, phones like the P1i et al might not meet all his demands or have faults that he just can't live with, but for my perhaps more limited needs, I still have my siights firmly planted on the P1i; it 'works' for me.

Thanx a lot @ JK
WOW! @ Hobbs,i just checked that link and MAANN is that guy harsh lol,but at the same time he realy knows his gadgets, thats the kind of review i like, he is very straight forward,maybe he must relax on the swearing though lol almost thought i was reading something Ozzy Osbourne wrote lol! IMO his a bit harsh on the P1, i can understand why he prefers P990 (so do i), but i swear he must have had one buggy P1,most of the complaints he wrote down are complaints i had never heard of on the P1, he seems to like the Nokia E90 though, and LOVES the iPhone lol, very interesting review/blog entry though, i wish Mobile-review and Gsmarena had reviewers like him,make their reviews a lot more entertaining.

I think this T20 match is a big set-up ... match fixed...
My reasons to believe it..
1.Coz the new T20 to become a hit worldwide,it has to be a hit in India and Pakistan particularly...since the money for the game is mostly in India and Pak.And Indians love to see a match against Pakistan as do Pakistanis...for both these nations,facing the other and winning is more important than winning the tournament.
2.India beating England (Ok...) beating SA (What??) beating Australia(No Fooking Way!!!)
3.Yuvraj hitting 6 sixes ...IMO there are a hell lot more boundaries in these T20 matches than 50:50 matches.
Ahh...the Ind Vs Pakmatch starts soon...the streets are empty.Got to get some snacks and drinks and get ready for the game Will judge after the game if it was fixed or not..

Some pretty solid reasoning there bhai. I can't wait to see the outcome either, it should deliver some good play, at the least.
I'm not superstitious, merely mildly stitious. |
