Is there an address for this guy so i can send him a medal? Thats quality.

I know a few people officers, some are the nicest people you will meet but a lot are just power glory idiots. Wouldnt worry about it mate.

Yea it makes little difference, the idea behind it is that you digest your food qucker, but if your consuming the same amount of food, especially high fat foods, theres no point.

Get yourself down a gym or play more squash, swop smoking for exercise, its what my girlfriend does, she hits the gym four times a week and remains smoking free for 3 years now and looks great for it.

Maybe time for a change?

Recieved the tyres this afternoon!! The fronts are pretty much brand new, well impressed. Great service Bennett! Thanks for all the help!

what's the difference between a 06 and 07?

Sorry mate only just saw this, my first thought was maybe your windows werent auto adjusting up when you shut the door meaning its not shutting properly and therefore causing the alarm to go off?

Glad its sorted though.

1) The Hangover

2) Old School

3) Wedding Crashers

4) Anchor Man

5) American Pie

6) Zoolander

7) Happy Gilmore

8) Step Brothers

9) American Pie The Wedding

10) Meet the Parents

Cant do top 5, theres just too many!

Hey Bennett, still havent recieved anything? What company were the tyres sent with? any tracking info?

Cheers

Welcome to the club! Take your time and find a good zed and you can be pretty confident you wont have many, if any, problems in the future!

I think its going to be very similar to the gains had from any aftermarket y pipe but with the advantage of easy changes of cats and decat pipes.

Night out in Newcastle BUT then say the following day you will invite both families over for a lunch and drink that you will prepare or at least help prepare. Cant really complain at that.

Great news! The XYZ pipe is of interest for me!

22 and had mine for 8 months!

Yea just been reading what you have done on the website, thats a lot of good mods! When do you think the supercharger will be going on?

Car is looking Welcome to the forum mate!

I'm a few miles away...............its gone very dark all of a sudden

im getting worried not heard anything yet, you guys still alive

Is there a massive black cloud over the West Midlands?

All I can really say is the best of luck with it Amy! If the garage gave the mag a quote for the work and the mag have paid the money then it is cut and dry; the garage must honour their commitment for the money paid. If the garage gave the mag an estimate then it is as it says only an estimate; it could cost double the amount.

I wonder if you did not have another car to use but had to hire one. I wonder who would be liable for the hire car cost? I am not talking a lambo here (sorry Sarnie ) but say 1.3 Fiesta. Also the value of the Zed has gone down since the garage has had it. Who is going to pay for the depreciation? All questions which I think should be considered given the enourmous time you have waited.

your now talking about the depreciation of a car that is being given to someone free of charge? and also the cost of a hire car for not getting it on schedule? I'm just checking? Becaue it's sounding more and more like an American forum. Like others have said before legal routes shouldn't be necessary. Let them fight it out and be patient.

Good points Chris Although i think they are friends so peeing on their parade because your bored of the mag might not be applicable

Cant urge you enough not to involve solicitors, fair enough if it was a purchased item or service, or even if they decided they were going to pull out from giving it to you, but its a prize from a group of friends.

Think about your options, dont act on emotion as it could cause more problems for you.

I spoke to a solicitor and they say i do have a strong case- but even an initial 'meet' with them is £270 ... after that no win no fee if decide to go ahead.... i told my Dad who knows about whole situation and he said dont do it. he said itl ruin my car shows for me doing that- ie really falling out with them. My dad said keep waiting because ill get it eventually and he said there no rush for the car.....

 

i have listened to my dad ...

 

but as it goes, they replied to my email lastnight (the magazine) and they said they will dedicate some time to this tomorrow (today) and it will be sorted......

 

ill see what that means and if they call me and tell me what they are doing.

if not ill tell them im thinking of taking things further...... but really dont wana go down that route !

 

I know im going against what most people are saying on here but your dad is 110% right, why bring solicitors into the equation when your getting a free car?? You also have an awesome car at the moment as well, which unless your in deperate need to sell, you can still use?

I can understand that having to wait this long for a price, especially the Zed , can be a bit much but if someone had said at the start of the competition "the winner will recieve the car in a year" would you still have entered?

Secondly you get on well with the magazine right? so there not going to screw you out of the car, plus going to a solicitors will mean no more car shows which you seem to enjoy.

 

Like i said before just chill and make weekly phone calls to the magazine, i guarantee the car will be worth the wait.

 

I agree, but there has to be some sort of timescale............how long do you keep waiting........another year.......another year.......the car will have already depreciated about £2k since she 'won' the car............you can't be nice forever........

So a free car that was worth 10k at the start of the year is now worth £8.5k but still free is a problem?? I understand your point, and im not talking about waiting 2 or 3 years Its been 8 months from what i have been reading, would 4 more months really be that much longer to wait if you already had a car and were in no financial crisis?

Like you say maybe i am being too nice but the thought of someone giving me my car for NOTHING, apart from a long wait, would be amazing! Its definately not something i would even think about suing somebody over?? especially friends.
