I guess Shell are banking on those with more money than sense who insist that V-Power is spectacularly better than anything else....

I could go for an obvious one to do with kids or partner etc but I would say for sheer excitement and pleasure it was bumping in to Black Francis in the toilets of the Dublin Castle waiting to see Madness (Dangermen) quite a few years back. A very cool fella and the Pixies are one of my favourite bands

My Son had loads of LEGO and Star Wars stuff when he was little, mainly because I love the stuff and enjoyed playing with it too

I like that idea Maybe a piano key lock Batman Style I can bring my batman suit if it helps

Thanks Dave - Not been the best year for me - looking forwards to putting 2014 behind me and hope for a better 2015 Yep that's the best way to look at it big man, glass half full, life goes on and all that, hope to catch up at a meet in the New Year

Each to their own though! Only colour I liked it in was white though Black is nice too, IMO but just like white have to keep it clean, at least the business would be paying to have it washed! True, black slims the wide arse on it but as you say just keeping it clean that would be a pain

I took my old navman apart and wired in a £4 speaker from Maplins, fitted it behind the lower dash and it worked a treat

117.9 surely? Definitely a nice bonus though, almost as cheap as 4 years ago With this and the improved dartford crossing my commute is almost becoming a joy

Very nice Chris, so sorry it will not be used for its original intended purpose though

I had more knobs than I can remember in my Zed, most of them just wanted to look at my CF and dials / LEDs In fact one now Canadian knob left his knob in my Zed

Each to their own though! Only colour I liked it in was white though

Well Dave, I think it's got everything except a dipstick - It's a Jaaaaaaguar 3.0D XJL Portfolio in dark blue with blue leather - June 2010 http://www.jaguar.co.uk/quality-section/owners/handbooks-guides/xj-library.html Portfolio mmmmm top spec, very very nice that interior looks gorgeous

I bet you get more dings and scratches getting in and out that you ever would parked on the road Check insurance too, a lot of companies actually charge MORE if your car is garaged...

Depends what you define as robust, yes there were 2 issues where updates caused problems but I have never lost a connection when logged in and gaming

We had baby wookie instead of turkey last year, it was very nice but a little chewy

Exactly what I found too, in fact when the spacers were taken off I found the car very twitchy

I am sure you could get it fixed but the way TV tech is going it would almost certainly be cheaper or at least not that much more expensive to just replace or upgrade unfortunately.... Or just take out some electrical equipment insurance, wait a month or so and then stick a claim in * * This is of course fraud and is not endorsed by the forum or any of its members, but it is still an option

Yes you have to pay for PS+ and there have been some major issues when they have messed up updates but seems to have been ironed out now and there is way more free content on PS4 than Bone I believe, some great free games

Right Hugh I need some details on spec and extras please although I know it is going to make my Jag look like a pauper edition

Maybe try moving

Was going to say the same thing, stop being so precious and accept it is a 10 year old car worth a few grand, park it in the best place you can and forget about it, much more important things to worry about in life imo A few Grand may not seem a lot to you, but it definitely is for me, worked hard to get my car, and even harder to get it back on the road. Had it been a bog standard Zed, then yeah I wouldn't be bothered as much where it was parked, But it's not, it can easily attract the wrong attention down this road, so I'd like to do what I can to look after the car. Wasn't meant as an insult Matt you should know that, I just meant stop worrying about what might happen and enjoy getting the car back. What do you mean by attracting the wrong attention? When I have lived in areas I thought were rough and worried about my car I found there was usually quite a bit of respect for cars like Zeds or Supras etc as they are affordable performance cars rather than Porches etc Yeah my bad with that one, I know what you mean. It's funny, with the attention, there's been reports of keyings, mainly from residents doing it Because people park in spaces outside there houses (Public road, they can) So they don't have to pay to park to go on the train. So residents get snobby about cars left there all day, thus mine would be left there all day too :/ Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to get back on the road, as a lot of things wont matter when I'm back in my car, I guess this was just a thread to see what other people have done to with regards to 3rd party storage Sounds like they just don't like commuters parking there all day while at work, if they see you and your car regularly and know you are a resident then I doubt yours would get any attention like that would it? Obviously not ideal parking any car on the street especially a cherished one but there are many members on here that don't have an option, I wouldn't get too hung up on it to be honest, you could pay for a garage or parking spot and then get the car keyed while parked up when you are out and about...

It may be a good price but I personally wouldn't take a decent car to Halfords for any sort of mechanical work, there must be a good Indy near you if you don't want to pay dealer prices. If you post up your general area someone will suggest somewhere good I am sure

I don't know him in real life. He just goes on the same forum as me. He's Scottish and I am guessing from your name that you might be too? If so maybe you know him? Ha ha A lot of horsey types are anti cars, especially sporty loud ones, not stereotyping as you certainly love both

What did you think Time Machine was, a portable Mac Tardis Anyone with a modicum of tech savvy will be able to retrieve anything you want and re-install the OSX.
