You obviously have more balls than skill.:lol1:

I'd also add you can be born with balls but skill comes over time through experience, practice and training, at which point balls don't come into it, if anything the more I know mine and my cars ability the less balls I have, because lets face it balls = wing and a prayer.

Why does everyone with a digital slr think they are a photographer lol?

I used to work for a car mag and the photographers i worked with had years of experience and university qualifications on the subject and were using film long before the digital era where you can just delete a crap shot...

Give me half an hour with an slr and i can take some pretty good pictures, but i dont call myself a photographer!

You dont need massive power to drive fast, just bigger balls than the person in front

I do have a large set I can tell you that;)I am a very skilled driver but when I say balls what I should say is confidence because that is what being skilful does to you,it makes you an efficient confident driver.SJ.

Ive had my uk300 8 months now, a previous owner fitted longlong on the front, and sunful on the rear.

Lately ive been trying my best to wear them out but i think they are made of kevlar or something lol.

Chronic understeer if pushing on is not good...

Tbh in the dry, they are ok. In damp/wet they are a bit unpredictable but i tend not to drive like a complete **** in the wet, only a bit of a ****.

Can get some good slides on when launching out of junctions lol

Hi there

I would be speaking from my experience

Obsession for more power and more power its addiction I would say is word for which you are looking

In our case we are want more power just due we are want to enjoy track and drag racing,with 250bhp or 350bhp we are never enjoyed like with 490bhp,sadly we are never tried to run at track or drag racing 555bhp,which has been shame for us:(

How many times you are seen on normal track day Ferrari,McLaren or any other exotica,I've seen only twice or how many times you are seen on drag strip proper exotica,I've seen only one Lamborghini and this Lambo has lost against 400bhp Impreza

Ferrari or Lamborghini and many other exotica cars you will not see on circuits,unless its GT championship,Impreza and many other Japanese cars running WTAC/UK TA,Hill climb,drag championship etc

Its nice feel when you pass Ferrari/Porsche or any other exotica and guy in the those exotica feels so embarrassed when wagon pass him without too much effort :D

Love it this feel and always remember,Wales road and guy in 911,whihc has tried to keep with us,but after 10 miles we are lost him,when we are drove back,we are seen this 911 in ditch :D

Jura +1,That's what got me into bolt on mods back in the days with my Renault 5 turbo then it was RS turbos and Cosworths that was the road cars to beat,you could just buy a bigger turbo,Air filter,Injectors (Group"N"carb on the Renault5) and get more power from running lots of Boost,they use to blow up sometimes but they were relatively easy to build so not a major problem,but I use to have so much fun:)Before I decided to build my own project I went through a phase where I was just going to save my money for a few years and purchase a Porsche which I have always liked the 911 shape a proper old school design that has lived through the Ages,but i had forgotten that initial feeling of dusting up more expensive and supposedly quicker exotica cars that Is why I started modifying cars in the beginning and after talking with Subaru specialist tuners about there personal experiences I decided to put my car fund savings into my Subaru which I already owned instead.And I have never been happier:),As Jura has said it's all about the versatility of the Impreza,in one moment it's a shopping car or doing the school run,and the next its on a track or doing runs up a drag strip,it's a true super car killer when modified right:DSJ.

Can any camera not be played with, IE different filters, lenses, memory etc? Strange how a "photographer" didn't seem to know lol.
The grammar of the OP also looks a little familiar.

Take any fullframe body using smth like a regular 50mm/1.8 lens or smth like a plastic 75-300mm...
Now, grab a Nikon 70-200/2.8 VR2 or a canon 300/2.8 L or 70-200/2.8 L II and screw them onto your DSLR body and take the same picture.

Pictures taken using different lenses (by quality/purpose) do look different with same dSLR :D
