Well you could experiment on your own car then Shawn, or buy a cheap high mileage one, after all if it goes horribly wrong you would have only lost a couple of hundred quid

You will find fun and camaraderie go a long way on here, what doesn't sit particularly well is the theft of intellectual property.

Now if you had met me in person at a meet and expressed your desires, I may well have lent some friendly advice, however you didn't so I won't

It's a shame you see me and the other T4 operators as money grabbing demons, as nothing could be further from the truth, your attitude will never get you anywhere I'm afraid.

Why pay to buy an original music CD? after all you can buy a cake of blank CD's and simply burn your own for pennies.

It doesn't matter than when Phillips launched the CD, an average player was over £2000, I mean you can now buy a CD player for a fiver, so why is my favourite artist charging £15 for a CD, when a blank CD is 20p

You are right in what you say, it is an artform, however given both the huge investment in both time and specialist equipment, it's hardly expensive......

Do you get the picture yet?
