Ricey

Actually........legendary I'm stealing it for a circular email

I should have guessed that would come. My bad. Was the closest i could get without costing equivalent to a bugatti veyron. Was very reasonable i tell you. I was hoping that when i was driving the number plate at a glance would look pretty close. Although i didnt think about photos. OOPS Bah! It looks ace mate. I had the same thing when I got R111 CYY.........all my mates looked at it and said 'nice one........but who's Rickey?' Swines!

May I suggest a Seat Ibiza.......Golf by any other name? I had an old bog standard M reg one years ago and it ruled!

Over 3500rpm with stock exhaust it sounds like a lion who's just sat on a nest of fireants.......with a decent zorst I think it goes even more nuclear. In fact haven't some people who've changed the zorst gone back to stock/panel filters to get the ponies back in the stable?

I had this on my RX8.........some how both fobs lost their coding at the same time and had to go back to dealers for a re-coding.

I know we're working with a limited budget here but that smells a little of a poor little 1.1 thats been terrorised by a 17 year old ("ideal first car") who's now 19 and is probably moving on....looks but I'd have a dig around as to what the current owner is all about.

How did you get on buddy?

Answering the original post. This is a most competent and excellently crafted auto-mobile which is most poised and handles itself with a high level of precision........but the bottom line is you bought a birds car and those that know......get a Zed.

Dont forget £500 gets you an 'Ecotec' Vaux engine (I think)........I believe a small Sumerian devil was installed in each one and over time he will generally make your life unpleasent with all sorts of mechanical mischief.

+1 I have had someone come up to me and asked what model Porsche it it Yip - parked up by a butchers. when I was walking back they were hanging out of the door saying 'Well it looks like a Porsche' from the back'. Thankfully when I drove off they will of seen the Nissan badge and realised I wasn't a tasteless chimp. Also - whats the big deal with a Datsun? I think I'd rather have a Datsun badge on it than a Nissan one.......the 240Z was cool!

If you find one you want to look at it might also be an idea to see if anyone from the forum who's local can come with you.......they're a helpful lot in here.

Really good with Mods. £35 for a 15% BPH increase for a piggyback chip on my diesel Lancer. only seem to speak to english call centres; worst i've had to deal with is a scouser, and i can cope with that. always good to deal with on the phone. I think I spoke to a woman called 'Dave' or some such other anglacised name. She was alright in fairness......they just tend to be overspill centres with the UK call centres are busy........in honesty I'd rather speak to a foreigner with a PHD who has to read from a script than I would some angry English cretin from a call centre in Speak.

They're good depending on what you want to do with them........if you end up in an outsourced call centre it can get a bit frustrating but otherwise they seem alreet. They're also part of Pinnacle (Bell, Elephant, Admiral)......not a small company by any stretch.

Immense! I was going to post - is there anything I should watch for when jumping as our's is sitting dead under an inch of frost.......too many meetings and then I come back to this. The forum........rules!

Vik.....I'm sorry to say it but.... OWNED!

I think they're some form of Dwarf rabbit......hopefully of the Siberian or Eskimo variety!

5 Degu's!!!! Check these bad boys (errrm well girls) out! Scrat, Snoopy, Bella, Tiny and Stumpy.......they are the shizzle And Roger and Jessica who after Tarmacs post will be moving indoors imminently!

No chance mate........give it 10 years and there'll be no such thing as giving a kid a grade because it might damage their 'emotional development'.......it'll be 'A's all round and no one will know feck all. Hit this link - buy the book - its basically a bible for how the world will be in 15 years...........considering its supposed to be a fictional comedy its chillingly accurate. http://www.play.com/Books/Books/4-/3156 ... r=bookall&

I can't even begin to explain how backward our company (part of one of the largest in the world I might add) has become......they're actually devolving us back into pond algae. Basically the least experienced employee has maybe 5 years industry experience and in this day and age beat off 10 candidates to get the job..........out of a department of 30 people 2 passed their QC for the whole month. .....and rather than admit that the moronic processes they've put in place are crazy to the point of being laughable they make suggestions like 'lets employ someone to sit next to these guys and poke them with a stick'. For some reason an entire company of intelligent people was generally shook about and anyone who floated to the top in a senior position with any common sense got binned off and replaced with people who prefer to hitch a ride up the career ladder in someone's rectal cavity

Praise indeed, I am Luke to your Obi Wan though! I feel a collaboration coming on, do you want to be Lennon or McCartney? Before we proceed.....khhhhooooooorrrrpurrrrr.....there is something I must tell you....khhhhooooooorrrrpurrrrr.......Dave......khhhhooooooorrrrpurrrrr.........I am your father

Rich you seem like a really sound guy.......please don't get an M3 and make me hate you and the rest of your buttreeming, brace wearing bretheren.....and no I don't care how good it is to drive. Just don't.... please don't..... For the love it all that is green and good in the world don't.....

The pupil has become the master

Sir...... I salute you

I'm not entirely convinced work would refer to it as spare but it stops me literally snapping a chair leg off and clubbing the various idiots I encounter on a daily basis to death. And I quote from a meeting with a very senior manager; Senior "..........so how can we put a backstop in to stop people making mistakes." Department Manager " well we can't.......some things just can't be governed like that" Senior " could we not employ someone to sit next to them and point out when they do something wrong" Department Manager "...........you want me to employ someone to sit next to the account manager to point out when they do something wrong" Senior " Yes........" ..........tumbleweed rolls passed.
