General Car Chat / Possible seller dispute, mr ICE man

« on: 14 July 2011, 11:11:05 »

First of all I'd like to say that this situation could be completely innocuous. But my hand has been forced a little as I paid 2 weeks ago and not heard anything since, more importantly I leave tomorrow morning to go abroad for a month.

Simon Appleby aka mr ICE man agreed to sell me a set of 16" omega alloys 2 weeks ago, I paid him £60 via paypal on the 2nd of July. Not heard anything since, last time he's logged in is the 5th of July.

I think he may have been moving house 2 weeks ago, so as I say this could be unintentional in the likely event that he's had trouble getting online. Still it's a bit of a problem as I'm not home for the next month now and I will have limited internet access.

This is the wanted thread I made 3 weeks ago. I guess admins can view the PM's?

Hopefully as I say it's innocuous, I'll check back sporadically through the day for any advice. If anyone has his number, just send him a friendly text as a reminder.

General Car Chat / Chris Harris reveals Ferrari's dirty tactics.

« on: 16 February 2011, 00:19:55 »

Chris Harris is a journalist for evo magazine and one of the best in the business (my personal favourite). Check out some of his video reviews if you can.

Anyway this article hosted at jalopnik makes very interesting reading of Ferrari's conduct:

Fair play to Chris Harris, seems like this has been going on for a while!

Suppose I shouldn't be too surprised given Ferrari's F1 antics.

General Car Chat / McLaren MP4-12C stats released

« on: 14 February 2011, 22:23:05 »

Thought I'd address the balance of retro motors with something new and packed to the gills with technology.

The stats for this car are simply staggering. Comfortably faster than a Ferrari 458, rides better than an E Class and gets better economy than our Omegas!

I still prefer the looks of the 458, but for everything else I think the new McLaren has it licked. 8-)

General Car Chat / O-me-ga or O-mega?

« on: 11 October 2010, 10:59:58 »

So which is it, and what do you say?

I have a history of doing sciences so naturally say O-me-ga. Is that correct or is it actually O-mega?
