The TPU UK Clubhouse

100% agree with that.

Like Tupac, Nas and Biggie, totally love those!

I'm pretty sure even modern rappers agree with that, but they have figured out how to crack the human brain for a quick buck and at the end of the day, our society is hyper focused on wealth, but there are patterns found in many modern music now, that makes it easy to get hooked on, I read a science article on it a long time ago, there were even graph charts and MRI scans done... these ******* people have gone next level on human exploitation, similar to the marketing departments of the world.

Fools, unworthy of the ancient philosophers, and they will not be granted access to the halls of Zeus when Oblivion arrives. ALL HAIL!!! SENECA AND EPICTETUS! Trained by the Ancients, these fools will never get a penny from me. Long live Ublock Origin! Long live the Cosmos and freedom!

I was thinking more along the lines of Young MC and DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, people who knew how to throw rhymes without needing to be obscene, crass and foul.

London is very expensive. You might find a cheapish bnb if you are lucky. it would be better if you could find someone to stay with while you are here.

Heh, I need to ask for a fellow TPUer if one can house me for few days.

 

[ThaiTaffy]

Well, 90s rap is better than modern shit

Replace rap with pretty much most music genres.

 

[lexluthermiester]

Agreed! I flow a little old school though..

Best Rap/Rock cross-over ever!!

Hopefully or it will cost you a kidney at the least.

You could have stayed at my house in a picturesque village in South Wales it's empty since I'm away but logistics might have been an issue and it's a large contrast between a village with 2 pubs and the metropolis that is London.

Crap, are those SO expensive? :/

London is expensive. A crappy little 2 bed terraced house can cost a million quid in certain areas, its ridiculous. What area are you looking at, if central yikes.

Damn. Thanks for the info at least.

Fucking annoys me when you pay 12 quid for next day delivery and it doesn't even ship till after 12 at night. Pissed off. i will be claiming the delivery cost back for the second time. OCUK

 

[phill]

Hi everyone I hope you're all doing well.

What a crappy day for weather it is down in the south west!! Been a while since I popped in here... I need to do less work at work and more surfing on TPU.......

I'd give anything to be there. I love southwest England, bad weather and all.

I only order from OCUK only if they have some "exclusivity" to whatever they are selling, quite annoying that has happened for the second time though.

Hope everyone is doing well, i've been a bit busy planning things to do, work, xmas shopping(done) and also in the process of buying a new build house. Which has estimate completion around Spring/Summer next year.
I have also recently decided to take the plunge and got myself another GT86, for those car nerds in here this is the TRD edition which has the TRD body kit, wheels and quad exhaust tip.



I've already done some modifications to the car and have more next year(waiting for parts to arrive).

I love them and would have one if I could afford it, but at my age and in my health I would look like a try hard twat driving a sports car.

I wouldn't want to own that car in England anyway, all the roads have computer speed checkers so you can't even really have fun with it unless you pony up lot more quid to take it on a track. I'd rather have a Tesla in England if I had that money, 0-60 in 1.9 seconds, and then it beats million dollar cars going from 60-120 on top of that. but again no reason to own that kind of level in England, better off with the tesla model 3 40k variant, and just save ton of money on gas, and retire early.

that's what I'd do anyway, working is overrated.

afaik there are only a handful of members here from london. Many of them local to london, many of them very inactive from london. And since i am the most active from london. I am not able to host you due my people not doing well with outsiders due to covid (they are very shit scared of anyone they dont know...)

Its not just you though. We wont even host other family members either. My sister wanted to come back home from Japan for christmas. They told her to stay the f**k there.

Your best bet would probably be airbnb though id be worried about staying in a hotel because other people & not knowing if the guest who stayed in your room before you had the lurgies.

A GT86/FRS/BRZ wasn't built for straight line speed anyway and just because there are speed cameras it doesn't mean you can't have "fun" on the road at "sensible" speed.
People on the road are reckless no matter what car/van it is anyway so it doesn't entirely matter if you drive a sports car, supercar, electric car or a van or even a truck.
People who are in the hurry will drive "fast/recklessly" no matter what, you can't police that behaviour.
People that do get into accident by driving "fast/recklessly" in places where its not ideal(housing/industrial/ built up traffic) are probably not going 70mph+ in the UK but rather just accelerating and lost control.
The accidents on motorways/dual carriage ways that may be down to speeding and that is down to people underestimating the speed or not paying attention to whats ahead or a lorry driver lost bit of concentration from fatigued or attempting to overtake and a car was in its blind spot.

Whats the spec of your wagon? and have you modified the suspension or is it stock to that particular model of car?

 

[kurosagi01]

Stock suspension, my previous one I did lower it with lowering springs and changed the ARB but I had 17" wheels, this one has the 18" TRD wheels which to me fills the wheel gap perfectly, the car corners similarly to how my previous one did.
I have exhaust manifold on order but there is a back-order, once its arrived i'll be getting that installed with a tune which will remove the torque dip in the 3.5k rpm range.

Here is a photo of my black GT86 back from few years ago.(I'm also in the photo in the background)
