  1. Count yourself lucky, that would cost you ~£80 down my way. Fortunately my work dental cover pays for any work I need doing Then again, my dentist doesnt use amalgam, he uses some funky white resin. And he doesnt just drill out the tooth, he then cleans it out, primer/etches it and then bonds in the resin, and colour matches it to the tooth in question. Thats called being a posh Southerner! Us Northern scum are lucky if we don't get stuck with a Mercury filling!
  2. Put in perspective I pay £30 for a dentist who's spend 7 years in university and 20 years building up a practice to carefully drill out my tooth and apply amalgam to the cavity...............I deeply begrudge how much this costs me. £30 for a tyre to be fitted??!?! I'd rather try and put it on my self using my pecker as a tyre iron.
  3. Which I think means its been scrapped and DVLA have been notified. I just ran the details through of a car I scrapped and got the same message. Could it be that its had a private plate put on it? If it has then the original plate will be unassigned to a vehicle at the moment?
  4. I was more concerned about the green house scene from Scum
  5. You should give one to that bloke who keeps offering to buy my car via Paypal or real nice bankers drafts as he appreciates my car very highly and wants to give it to his brither the Crown Prince of Lagos.
  6. Breaking news! Apparently some knob is using a mobile phone the plane and its screwed up the computers! Hope you get it sorted mate - I had a similar forum whinge when stuck on the runway for hours when we went to Cuba.
  7. Just taxed the Fiesta after its mighty and triumphant MOT pass (following a ruck of welding an new brakes!) - its been on SORN for 2 years and stupid me didn't realise that when I transferred the car into my name it would need to be re-SORN'ed. After a stern telling off form the post office lady she basically said - the DVLA may contact you to claim back taxes. DVLA website implies that "THERE IS NO ESCAPE! YOUR FINISHED! THIS TIME NEXT WEEK YOU'LL BE SHARING A CELL WITH A GUY CALLED BUBBA AND YOU'LL BE REQUIRED TO 'TOSS THE SALAD'" Government and Nazi post mistress propaganda or am I financially doomed and left in a heap bleeding from the anus by this 'cheapo shed'. I took ownership on 30/09/2011 so thats when liability commenced apparently.
  8. See now that's the primary reason i never considered a z4 before because I'm not a fan of the look I'd convertibles in general. Hope the roof works! Not bothered to take the roof off yet!
  9. Bit like comparing a 2003, 350 rag top to a 2010, 370 though isn't it.....one is built as a coupe so its going to look in more proportion.
  10. Apparently that was one of the main controversies of the car. Some people hate the looks and others love it. I was never a big fan until I saw it with the hard top. Could do with sounding just a little more edgy......might have a peek at an intake.
  11. Parking sensors really help! The drive is actually long enough for another full car.........sadly whatever knob designed the drive failed to realise that whilst you could park another car you wouldn't have enough room to open the door!
  12. You can get some data from the DVLA website https://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPo ... ution=e1s1
  13. Bizarrely I think thats what sold it too me. The hardtop definitely transforms the look of the car The colour never seems to come out right in photos for some reason - it nearly looks brown in those pics but its definitely more gun metal
  14. .........dry Some piccies of the new mobile after some DA action, Blackhole and rubbed with a Dodo. Really am loving it - the wheels need a refurb and it tramlines like a bitch but other than that its a quality bit of kit AND had the added bonus of us not owning a car that could actually offer anyone a lift home from the works Xmas do! Delivers its power differently to the 350 but it goes like a fricking rocket. Sport button is quite cool too - I assume that does something similar to the throttle controller mod in the Zed does it?
  15. That was one eclectic convoy! Looking good
  16. I think there is a website called Mind thats very good but I'm on phone so can't find linky Stan. Stick a search on Google and it should come up. I think Vik has some form of dealing with this kind of thing? Good luck mate.
  17. I've got this Oil Cap going spare - not sure if its what your after.
  18. No surgery - result! Loads of turkey and no gym is what you need!
  19. Milltek is clearly a quality piece of kit but everyones got one - get something different.

    redline

    I likey the gaiter but the armrest wouldn't look out of place in Charlie Chalks Playbarn............its humongo! Good effort though
  21. +1 personally with the right nose I think it poo's all over most modern cars for looks.
  22. Deffo battery - same thing happened to ours last year.......don't even bother trying to recharge it - once its gone its fooked
