The G Man

I'd be up for this 1/ martinmac 2/ toon chris 3/ Rothers 2901 4/ Wasso 5/ Shuck 6/ unabashed 7/ Jak 8/ The G Man

Couldn't agree more with Wasso, I travel extensively throughout Europe in the summer, last year 3.5k miles and 4k miles this year, it's an absolute joy for the most part although try and get into Monte Carlo at rush hour . Anyway, if the road at the top of the Stelvio can be kept, for the most part, serviceable and they suffer far harsher extremes EVERY YEAR, you'd think that some sea level roads in the UK could be kept in reasonable nick when compared. Even right through the Pyrannese all the mountain roads were superb. We suffer from lack of investment in the UK and unfortunately, we won WW2 and with the help of the Yanks, destroyed most of Europes infrastructure, and with that, the sneaky French and Germans have had the UK pay for their road/rail infrastructure ever since

That's correct, I think it's great, play the cd and within about 5 mins it's loaded onto the hard drive, you can also compile your own playlists from them

Nice one and a good write up Have did a couple of Epics in my old Rex, looking forward to next years in the 370

hey I work in Motherwell too If you use the train station, check out the platform carpark

Larkhall mate, good luck to your cousin, a worthy cause, breaks my heart to see this level of suffering. Oh and BTW, a 10k shouldn't be a problem, as long as she is hydrated during the early hours before the run

Done , just as an aside, as we are all probably avid ebay purchasers, a donation to this cause can also be made when paying on check out

Thanks for the heads up, had a bit of a nightmare with the "drive away insurance" that was going to make my plate transfer "easier" when getting my new 370. Anyway the company is Aviva, quite a large outfit, went through all the details, TWICE, both times being told "We don't insure that car"!?!, and this was the dealer's "agent". The call centre was in India, they wouldn't put me on to a superior/supervisor and then just hung up!! Doesn't auger well if you had a claim!! Anyway, not wanting to come across racist/bigot in anyway, I refuse to do ANY business or have any utilities that don't have a UK call centre. I don't blame the Indian/Asian individual, as it's a despicable thing for a UK company to do just to increase profits, but sometimes it's hard enough to get someone who is British to understand my thick Scottish accent, (maybe I'm being thick ), anyway this is turning into a rant Suffice to say Aviva is of my list of companies that I'll deal with. Ditto Scottish Power

90 As I said, had a bad ankle twist the day before I picked her up, was on . All this bloody great weather and I, so far, can't drive very far Gonna try harder today Loving it so far, it's a great cab area to be in and the premium connect is superb Even found out that my house is 313ft above sea level, makes me feel a whole lot better knowing that the rise in sea levels won't affect me, so I can carry on destroying the planet Not even had a proper play with the Rev Match yet!! And only 1110miles to go on her running in. Must say though, it's a completely different drive to my old Rex, wich I miss dearly , and too quiet , that needs sorting soon (although Mrs G has banned me from the sweetie shop )

Al, you've PM Thanks for the welcome folks, I love it

Yes mate, my mrs and my initials, I bought it when I got my Rex in 2006, hence the 06 plate Only means something to us mind

Cruel but very

You will have to go to a regional DVLA office, their website should list them. I know how you feel, it's all really unclear and shrouded in several different forms. I think that checks being on the way out, everyone is making it harder to pay by this method. The Post Office's that issue tax discs may be able to help, although my local one was useless when I wanted a form from them, ended up downloading and printing myself.

Larkhall mate, I work in Motherwell though , on the lookout for you too Got a wave from a GTR earlier tonight Waved back don't you know

Here she is , been on crutches until this morning so not a lot to say at the mo, managed a few pics though

Nope To a girl he calls "Furball" She's not , quite a nice girl actually but it was a big having them lock tonsils every 30 seconds at Le Mans last year They've got a place in Cambridgeshire and (I could be making this up) she's up the duff , so little drucklets might be on the way Drop him a PM mate Thanks Ruddles Only 6 days 19 hours and 22 mins to go

Hmm, a bit Weren't driving everyday, most we did in a day was @ 350miles this year, petrol was abot £900, two return schedule flights to Florida is about the same So three weeks hooning about Europe wasn't bad at that. Total cost of the holiday including hotels/drink/food/drink/ferries/drink/fuel/drink and some fags was about £3.5k. Not too bad for what we saw and did Oh when I test drove the 370Z, I was getting 6mpg at some points, so no shocker for me in the fuel stakes

just a couple more
