  1. Are the seats made from teachers trousers Very individual and if you like it who cares
  2. What you have to remember is that however great a driver you are there are other road users about who in the main do stupid unpredictable things.... Please make sure your donor card is up to date
  3. Good luck finding the @@@@ Vik, surely if he had no insurance at all he would not have even stopped? Maybe fake plates i guess, how can bikes get away with the stupid little plates you can hardly read anyway? Police will probably do bugger all as nobody was hurt
  4. Without getting into the public vs private sector debate as an economy needs people that support it financially and those that serve it, but we ALL have to accept the people are living longer and therefore have to work longer, around 1 in 5 will now live to 100+!!! Thats a 35 year pension which could never ever be covered by 45 years of contributions, simple maths (sorry teachers). Fat Pensions are just not going to happen unless you are a banker or such so get real and accept the inevitable. I have heard people interviewed moaning about getting small pay increases that are not inline with inflation WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD my company have made over £500m profit but i get a 2% rise because they are terrified of going under and rightly so! Striking doesn't solve anything and never really has, a few of my staff had to take a day of their holiday or not get paid to look after their kids so ask them if they support strikes. Nothing against teachers as i did some lecturing to pay my way through uni, just think they need to be realistic with their aims, the economy cant afford to let them retire early on a final salary pension plain and simple
  5. He has made my Berks seem very common and now everybody wants them
  6. True enough but i think most people have had enough of royal weddings for a decade or two...

  8. Haven't used Firefox since i tried Chrome...
  9. appreciate that dave as we all do our own thing! Im more into the street car look but i know thats not for all. I love the colour I have to say and I love the chequers but then I am a 2Tone fan I think it is the front that is making me not sure on the white lines and the placing of the plate, well sticker you know what I mean I am not the biggest fan of body kits anyway and the Veilside is a real marmite one anyway huh Fair play for making your Zed look different to every other one around
  10. I think she was practising a different kind of manoeuvre for when she is a passenger
  11. Have to admire the effort and work gone in there, really not my cup of tea though
  12. Yeah true and depends if you need all 4 in one go or indeed have the cash... not saying anyone who buys Falkens is a fool, just that they are cheaper for a reason
  13. Think yourself lucky this guy lost his arm in Sheffield
  14. But what was Lieutenant Columbo's first name......
  15. Bridgestones > falkens Buying 'cheap' is a false economy, my bridgestones have lasted insanely long, I mostly do commutes and long trips with the odd meet up and blast around and my RE050A's have lasted nearly 24k and still a bit of life in them. I can't see Falkens lasting anywhere near that long as that as they are very soft. In the cold and wet the Bridgstones need to warm up a bit but then if you are driving like a loony in the wet or ice/snow then you deserve to be sitting in a ditch I was looking at getting a whole set of Falkens for £450 delivered or just changing my rears for RE050A's for just under £300 and I know which way I will be going.
  16. Their slating was mostly that you couldnt power slide it round a corner at 100mph+ so hardly something that most of us would be doing anyway.... If I had a car like that I dont think I would be thrashing it round a track, I would be usuing it as a weekend luxury and the odd road trip I thought it looked ok, especially the interior which was very very nice Comparing it to the Ferarri which Plato said was the best car he had ever driven meant it got a bit of a hard time I guess...
  17. If the battery is on the way out it is not unusual as it takes a fair bit of welly to turn over the V6 lump, might be time to invest in a new battery
  18. I got both of mine through the DVLA both under £300 Personally I don't like the more 'obvious' ones just something that means something to me and hides the age of the car, and for those the DVLA is always cheaper as most private plate sites just advertise what is available on the DVLA site for a bit more Obviously if you want something a bit special you will have to go to a specialist
  19. Heard from the repairers just body work damage, which is what I thought and will be ready in 7-10 days So looks like my Zed will see 100k after all Just hope they make a good job of blending in the new panels, if they don't I will just refuse to pay until they do
  20. My place has ethernet ports in every room (except the bathroom)
  21. I seriously wouldn't go to Nissan Eltham, I asked them about a cam belt change and they said they would check it and let me know the cost if needed I think a P3 was the wrong side of £400 as well
  22. Surely knocking on someones door with intent to assault them would be a very bad move... not saying they wouldn't deserve it just that you would be right royally screwed if you did and it was witnessed
