nice Stag, ive got a mk3 spitfire, but im respraying it before selling it, and have replaced it with my new car :
ford capri 2.0S. not been ont eh road for a while so have to service it and i suspect run some kinks out of it, butits very solid, ahs very nice paint, and is all there. it has the interior i want, the 5 speed conversion, the right model, the right colour. and insured it for 170 quid fully comp.

i know, its bad especially when you consider what the japanese have been able to do with the evo and impreza over the years aswell. still, the mustang is very relaxed due to its big engine, youre never really making it scream.

not my ride, but my cousins, which we went to pick up yesterday. i couldnt not show you though, and he does (did) airsoft, so i guess it sort of qualifies it.
certainly not my cup of tea, and if i was spending this much money i could come up with a list of cars as long as my arm i'd rather buy, but my god its *fruitcage* rapid. it has the roush suspension, exhaust and best of all supercharger
. 4.8L V8, about 450 BHP. i still struggle to see how american companies get so little power from such huge engines. sounds great aswell, and the acceleration is phenomenal. we managed to go faster than either of us have ever been on land, and that was with a gear and revs still to spare 
i saw a brochure for mustang bits, and the supercharger was a 7K option !! my cousin wasnt the mug that paid for it though, hes the second owner. it made me chuckle at all the scoops, vents and intakes you can fit to a mustang - NONE of them do anything, at all. every single one i saw at the dealer was blocked off, no air can get in them. including the one on my cousins car. -
that is mint.

haha indeed. its some sort of berry apparantly. i should have guessed that would be the first comment made though

got my new one coloured in yesterday, though still not quite finished.
all the important elements of my faimly tree without the crappy looking crest/shield shape and design. i asked for the eagle heads to be the main thing, glad i did they look mint i think. the banner below the heads will be yellow, and a bit more red in the point between the banner and the lower diamond. the diamonds look a bit odd at teh moment just sort of stuck out, eventually i'll get something that fills the gaps between and around them. no rush though my arms not going anywhere that im not.
and the other side

got a fancy dress costume today. its a pure sweatbox, but its well worth it. not too expensive either.
-
that hat is mega. the black and silver watch is like an '80's magnum PI flashback
-
me (closest) and my brother last year before embarking on a 200 mile rally in my '67 spitfire. good times. behind me you can see my mates brown mgbgt (the Brown Pearl, apparently
). THE most '70's thing on the earth, without doubt. brown, beige and orange striped seats, black plastic, vinyl and velour.
-
dope.
that is P H fat

got some more done yesterday. the finished one at the top is a design from a shirt i brought at the first gig i ever went to (oasis at finsbury park 2002 i think), the new one underneath is an original design based loosely on the style of the finished tattoo, and a sort of woodstock festival poster vibe. the colour is going to really bring it out. needs a bit more design work at the bottom, other than that i'll leave it nice and clear if i fancy something else around it.
edit - probably needs a photo

Fires much larger than 6mm objects, very often.
I present Gizmo the Shih-Tzu
haha i almost called my dog Wickett because hes a small, fluffy, confused looking dog. wish i did now.............

That finish is a lot like the satin nitrocellulose finishes on the Highway One model guitars, no?
Lovely Tele - could do with a clean though!
My new guitar should be here around the 25th of April
Ben.
hmmm, not quite. my friend has a highway 1 tele, and the finish is definitely not the same. it really is hard to describe. my strat is a different colour in different lights, and the finish is very 'teflony' as i said. ive never picked up a guitar with the same type of finish. the guitar is stock other than the gold woodscrews (dont ask
). i tried to find some pics on google, but typing in 'fender satin strat' doesnt get you much. theres just not many pictures of these about apparently. -
just a couple of mine as promised. as you can see, they dont get used much at the moment, the cases are filthy.
thats my special edition mexican fender strat. tried to get an idea of the finish, clearly its not gloss and doesnt get sticky when it gets sweaty. the finish is nice and smooth, almost exactly like your teflon frying pan. its mega.
and while i was under the bed i fished out my other case.
1962 Fender Telecaster custom. its the biz. absolutely supremely amazing guitar.
-
how does the dropped pickup effect tone and volume ? looks mint though.
i've got a limited edition mexican fender Satin Strat, and its amazing. im a tele man all the way, never entertained the idea of a strat. as i was walking past in the guitar shop to check out the fender '72 custom tele i was buying, the strat caught my eye because of the colour and finish. i picked it up and had a quick go, and it was pukka. loved it. in fact i ended up buying it there and then and having to postpone the '72 tele. being limited edition i didnt want to miss out on it.
cost the same and has the same hardware as a mexican std strat, but they only did the 'satin' finishes for a year, in only 5 or 6 colours. never seen another being played, but they wern't overly rare. i'll find a pic in a bit.

as long as its shooting below 328 fps

good times.
peq can kiss my *albartroth*

is it possible to run the wires to the grip backwards and out through the hole in th rear of the reciever ? i want to run the wires out out the back and have a 1 point battery sling hooked to the QD mount behind the selector.
-
couple of questions please :
what length inner barrel will fit in the longer outer barrel ?
should any specific hop rubber be used, or anything goes ?
what type of motor is in this ? (size wise i mean)
with the tightbore (long outer barrel length-ish), to get this to 350 FPS, which spring should i drop in ?
cheers,
im ordering from rsov, so looking at vanaras barrels and springs. looking for something equivalent to "Laylax Prometheus Non-Linear Spring MS100" which will, according to landwarrior airsoft, give out 340-350.

i have brought the gun, i need to put an order in for some other bits and bobs, and needed to decide whether to get some pdw mags. if i decide not to use them, the VN mags are surplus to me as i have nothing to put them in.
i'll post a pic up, as i can see you're eager to witness the beauty of the VN/PDW combo :-)
-
hahaha. i know it might be ugly, but i've got a bucketful of VN mids here, and i'd rather spend my money on something else than more mids for this gun only.
-
does anybody have a motor adjustment screw for one of these, or know of something that does the job ? dont really want to buy a new motor or change the grip.
-
could i possibly get a pic of a PDW with a VN mag please ?
-
just picked up a DBOYS PDW off the forum, but its missing the motor adjustment screw. can anybody tell me what the screw is, or if i can get it somewhere, or what size it is, or anything about it so i can find a replacement pelase ?
or does anybody have one ?
also, i dont have time to flick through this whole thread looking for interesting ways to make my pdw look good. can any pdw owners either pm me pics of their 'kitted' pdw's or point me to which page they're on in this thread please ?
any help would be very much appreciated. the pdw's i have caught on here looks pretty mint.

some nice guitars there, more of a fender man myself. really like the orangey burst Strat.
though saying im a fender man, i brought a couple of things yesterday, had a bit of a naughty splurge. egged on by my mate who works in the shop knocking money off, and my complete inability to not buy stuff i dont need, i ended up with a new Epiphone Les Paul Standard Pro, and even more unexpectedly an Orange Micro Terror valve head and matching cab. and a padded guitar bag, and a cable. they are both mega, the amp is absolutely unbelieveably good. would reccommend to anyone.
and as an idea of the size of the amp
