  1. Ace mate - good luck!!
  2. Actually I thought that was a longer thread than it actually it! I'm sure it was discussed in more depth (as that thread it actually no use to you whatsoever! ) I'll have a quick rummage
  3. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=40563&start=0&hilit=ebay+exhaust Same one methinks. I was watching you bidding on that!!!!
  4. Yeah! It was amazing. OK Go did a similar one for a song call 'This shall pass' or something like that
  5. I remember this dodgy geezer who used to work with me years ago who had this ridiculous scam with HMV that went something like this; - March in to HMV pick up 10 dvds, - Take them to the counter and ask for a refund but tell them he'd lost the receipt but they're all still sealed. - HMV minion advises he can only exchange as receipt lost. - Exchanges for 10 dvds and walks out with a receipt!! Some people are so hard faced its not true!
  6. I know!!! I had the full intentions of spending all day cleaning today but after 48 hours escaping from Cuba, jetlag and the weather I just didn't have it in me. I refuse to post it dirty I've got a final few cleaning bits and bobs and stubby coming this week (as Tim from Envy was the only person who actually managed to get anything too me! 4 things I ordered from ebay - 2 sent the wrong product and the other hasn't turned up!). Next week I promise!! Sarnie whats your ebay shop - I've tried searching your posts....... but that just didn't end well!
  7. Caveat emptor mate. If they're too disinterested to check that's their problem. Plus I'm reasonably sure that big corporates are forged in hell anyway
  8. Ehh? Haven't you just bought a 29k UK GT car for £8700????? Yeah but I'm pretty sure I mugged him or its half a Nissan pixo welded to a murano I meant to say 'if not cat d around 8500' .....it was a long day in my defence....awake for 48 hours !
  9. Assuming that you mean its a CAT D with the repair job............I'd be guessing around the £8500 markish
  10. I don't reckon so...but you'll have to be patient. We've just bought a Bronze UK spec GT pack with FNSH, 29k albeit on a 53 plate for £8700 - serviced, MOT'd, taxed and delivered from Scotland for £8700. Bit of a double edged sword at times though - for the money your looking at you can't rush or you'll end up with a dog (and believe me even the dogs sell quick!) but when a good one comes along you've got to be on your toes! Ours had been up for 3 days and had 3 people from all sides of the country chasing it......I bought it without even looking at it which was to say the least a little fool hardy - luckily it turned out better than I could of hoped for!
  11. http://www.truthnet.org/images/Earth_universe2.jpg This pic came round on email a few times - always used to wreck my head!
  12. Thats well funny!! Me and the missus were both bored sh*tless on holiday and started talking about this. After about 10 mins of trying to remember some of the wikipedia info I eventually admitted I didn't have a fricking clue what I was on about and grumpily settled back to my beer.
  13. I tried so hard to log in!!!!!! Stupid communist goverments and their internet restrictions!!! Cleaning commences 9am tomorrow and subject to the zombification of jetlag wearing off a bit today we might go for a bit of a run.
  14. Supposed to be going to Cuba......only place we're going is no where fast. Apparently the airport has been evacuated because of a suspicious package!
  15. For the love of buggery! A bloody HOUR I've been sat on this plane waiting for 4 cretins! The pilots got so bored he's turned off the seatbelt signs and told us we cab use our mobiles! I might nip home and clean the car at this rate
  16. Cheers all Flight is T minus 9 hours an counting....no time for piccies I'm planning on spending the whole sunday when we get back utilising the MAHUSIVE delivery I also received today from Tim at Envy Valeting .....in fact that reminds me I need to get some wax!!! About the only bad point I can kind of come across is a slight clunk every now and again from the back somewhere (heard the same noise on another I test drove though). Quite strange - doesn't always happen regardless of the road surface. Took my mate out in it and he doesn't reckon its anything so prob just me being paranoid. Frig-a-doodle-do its quick! Its so easy to drive sedately too though.
  17. Ahhhhhhhh here's me thinking your 'Security' sat in some warehouse somewhere asking people for I/D badges and sipping endless brews!! Well buddy you know better than anyone how dangerous your line of work is........after watching some documentary or another about it on Sky a week or 2 back I think you must either have no fear or knackers of pure steel! Your actually in a good position because like you say you can go back whenever you want if money dries up as you work for yourself. Based on what I assume is highly stylised (but presumably accurate) ex-SAS books I've read the 'circuit' seems like a bloody stressful job never mind the fact that you have no social life. Go for it with the uni course though mate - I see more and more people doing it in our industry just so they can get out.
  18. ......and for the love of God if anyone ask's you to 'toss the salad' it doesn't mean your being treated to a light luncheon
  19. Be extremely careful with the soap! Surely they can give you an extension until Monday?!?!?! I mean your 'obviously' a major danger to the general public and all but they can't be expecting you'll cause too much damage in 3 days!
  20. Dan's nailed it........your job (presumably) pays you a set wage (plus I assume overtime if your in Security). Self employment usually needs a fist full of dollars to start with and switching to a commission/target based job without knowing the industry could see you taking less money then you do now. Some will say money isn't everything...........but try living without it! Seriously though - I do know where your coming from and had a similar episode a few months back. I work in mortgages and am paid (or so I believe) pretty well for doing a job I wasn't originally recruited to do due to the market place (sub prime lender - i.e the ones who caused this whole disaster in the first place!) and therefore don't take the job satisfaction I once did. I was thinking of binning it off because of the bureaucracy and applying to the fire brigade until my uncle had a chat with me........a swift dry slap later and I'm still here making hay while the sun shines.........the moral of the story being 'the grass isn't always greener'.
  21. it means you do it from home but have designated tutors for advice and all the literature you need provided.
  22. I've often thought about car sale because I love 'cars'.............however........I love the cars 'I love'...........can you really see yourself getting enthusiastic about selling a Honda Jazz in electric pink? Or a total nail of a car that you know is a 'bad' motor but your boss needs to shift it off the forecourt? Imagine selling a Zed that you knew to be a shedder but it was going to net you a ruck in bonus? Personally I'd find it hard but if you've got to put food on the table you may have to make those kind of choices.
  23. I suppose still erring on the side of caution 'may' could be the operative word......I'll take it one short journey at a time in the first instance! Carla seems to like it so at least my nads are safe in the interim
