  1. I drive at 70ish on the motorways and always average at least 32mpg on decent trips. If I had to drive at 55/60mph just to get a few more mpg I think I would rather get out and walk
  2. Same as HMV and probably several more, saturday mornings walking round the shops are a thing of the past....
  3. Seems fine to me, the last car my old man had was a Metro
  4. Not seen it before but it looks nice and clean, it should be on here if it isn't
  5. Depends how bad it is.... if it is REALLY bad I would suggest some fine grade wet & dry and some rubbing compound to get the worst off
  6. The repair 'estimate' will be extortionate.... I needed a new front passenger ray and tyre which came to £1,250 I told the garage to get me a 2nd hand one and refurb all 4 but they had already ordered it glad I wasn't paying for it
  7. A difference of One Ron is ok A difference of Two Rons not so good
  8. As I said earlier, you will be perfectly fine on 97RON. It's the difference between 95 and 97+ that causes issues, not 97 and 99. My Zed was run on 97 and loved it, as is the 911 and the Impreza. Do I really have to post my 2 rons pic again
  9. It's still showing on the post above because it quoted the original
  10. And that's from someone that would almost certainly be in for some business if you didn't Seriously though, I know how you feel as I had an accident last year, luckily only the drivers side of my car was wiped out, my Zed was on 90k+ so I started looking around at replacements thinking it would be written off but the Insurance covered the repairs as they were confident the other party would be paying, although it still isn't sorted... It would have been heartbreaking to loose the car as like you it has given me very few problems given the mileage on it, but at the end of the day the damage to yours is so great that it really wouldn't be worth salvaging even with all the nostalgia attached, you would be spending more than it would be worth and once finished it would be devalued even more because of the damage / repairs. £6.5k is a decent figure I reckon given the mileage....
  11. It will be fine Luke, it won't go anywhere once fitted correctly Agreed they fit tight as a drum, I always thought about spraying mine as the gold does look out of place but then I am not an engine bay queen
  12. The problem wouldn't be on a track or spirited drives here are there it will be when you are sitting in traffic with no cold air if it wasn't required then JWT would have cut down their costs and not bothered with it
  13. Yeah only teasing... I didn't say you were right or wrong
  14. I don't have an issue with spacing but making letters or numbers look like they are something they are not just makes you look stupid... D4VE would be ok but if you added bits to the 4 to look like an A then Same with to 1's trying to look like an H that is just S11 1T
  15. +1 seems you need a new toy Hmmm now what could they both have in common.... oh yes they both drive other cars now
  16. You would have to be scatty to buy that
  17. I used to pack fudge when I lived in the South West < Insert joke here >
  18. I was going to say what does it matter what any of us think... Autotrader/Piston Heads etc etc
