the Dub scene is awesome but it depends what you want from a car tbh. Lets be honest a Dub is never going to drive/perform like a Subaru and a Subaru is never going to look as cool as a Dub ................

Right then seat dying done for the fronts at least..

The stuff i used...



Before



During



After




The dying process is not as simple or as initially effective as the Simply Spray website or you tube clips make believe.

I ordered 3 bottles at £10 each.

That should have been enough for the whole interior however i found three bottles are reakistically suitable for a single seat only. I'm going to give them a once over before installing them.

Default ALERT!!!

Morning all.....
We have been getting a large number of customers in with the same problem, its the newest scam going round so be aware....
A guy phones you up and says he is from Microsoft, and is phoning to help you sort our your pc problems, ( usually 80% of people have at least one small issue with their pc / laptop, so appears genuine) The guy asks for permission to remotely access your pc, once given he is then trawling through your private docs for any info worth something, bank details, paypal details etc etc....

Although the call seems very professional, it is obviously a Scam......

Course of action..... If you receive a call - DO NOT get into any conversation! Simply put the phone down, and i mean NO conversation, however small, not even to tell them to "get st****d" you dont want to antagonise them.

Precautions.....
Disable Remote Assistance in Windows.

How to.................................

Windows XP

Click on the windows sign (bottom Left corner)
Right click on “COMPUTER” and Left Click on “PROPERTIES”
Click on the “REMOTE” Tab
UNTICK “Allow Remote Assistance Connections to this Computer”
Click “APPLY”
Click “OK”
Done.

Vista.. and Windows 7

Click on the windows sign (bottom Left corner)
Right click on “COMPUTER” and Left Click on “PROPERTIES”
Click on “REMOTE SETTINGS” on the left hand side
Under Remote Assistance… UNTICK “Allow Remote Assistance Connections to this Computer”
Click “APPLY”
Click “OK”
Done.


Extra Security…

FIREWALL ( if you dont have one already )
www.filehippo.com
Search for “Firewall”
I have used “Sunbelt” and “Zone Alarm”, They are both very good and Free..
Choose one, Download it and Install it.
Done.

IP Blocker..
(Will block your computers ip address so it cant be found)

http://www.peerblock.com/releases/pu...ock-1.1.0-r518
Under “GET IT HERE”
Click on the link “Peerblock 1.1 Installer”
Download and Install.
Done.


fyi... Microsoft NEVER cold call, - ever - Period!

Hope this helps you guys not to get caught out by the scumbags in the world
