    About 31mpg, keep it! How the hell do you get 31 mpg ??? Not using 1st at lights and upshifting at 1500rpm gets me 23mpg? 31MPG over 1700 miles around Europe - and that was with a very spirited drive or 2 down the autobahn.
  2. Link works for me to The link works fine for me too. Bender PM me the link and I'll have a fiddle. I used to use CH quite a bit back in my underwriting day

    Advice

    120 miles a day = 2 hours driving x 5 = 10 per week x52 = 520 per year / 12 = 43 hours per month giving a grand total of = 21 1/2 days a year in the car commuting to work Each journey costs you £35 a day roughly. 40mpg costs you £18 a day roughly £17 per day saving x 5 = £85 per week x 52 = £4420 per year / 12 = £368 per month saved over the zed. So it's either 20 days a year miserable and mundane with an extra 4.5k in your sky rocket or or 20 days inspired and happy but in the long run back to miserable again because you know that 4.5k of your pay rise has just gone up in smoke. Alternatives to my mind are super, super uber cheap derv to knock around in (500 quid plus running costs) or sling the zed

  6. I'd say they wouldnt have to cover it with 10k wear but for the sake of good PR they prob will
  7. Best fixes are the free ones!
  8. Charlotte Sparkles, yeah hit 500 posts in a few weeks then vanished. Pete That's the badger......mad as toast that one Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
  9. Dude do you remember that absolute fecking mental that joined that time who had a selfie......not storm horse there was another one.....sparkles or something like that!
  10. I would guess same as the alloy nuts.....115nm or 85ftlbs
  11. Tarmacs your man for anything yank Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
  12. Well. .....not as bad......at least Ian loses loads of money buying insanely powerful cool cars. That said I've bought some naff cars over the years and lost thousands so i can't talk. Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
  13. Gentlemans bet (50p) you wont keep it longer than 18 months! Your nearly as bad as Stuarty!
  14. On the plus side that should be all the crap out of the way for a good old while!
  15. Ian you must fecking bleed money! Monster of a car which makes me think the next one is going to be on the next level of insane.

    For the money they go for these days they're well worth a punt. Much as I didn't get on with mine I can't help but think I'd of been less vitriolic in my opinion of it if I'd paid 5k instead of 14k!
  17. I find micro applicators dont half suck up the product your using........causes a fair bit of wastage. They're also a bugger for picking up dirt and merrily dragging it along your newly prepared bodywork! Foam is definitely better.
  18. Poorboys trim restorer...........good stuff.
  19. My missus was travelling there before I met her in oz. Relatively safe but you tend to get ripped off a lot as your seen as a rich westerner......which is fair cop really
  20. Yes do this ^ The only car you've owned for more than 5 minutes was the zed. Stretch a little and keep the car for longer.......that way at least you can enjoy the depreciation!
  21. Not Nice, Ricey! I hope your customer service is nicer? Mate if you were buying cars off me I'd quite literally have the red carpet out..... You'd bank roll my whole year! Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
  22. I was scanning through to see if anyone else would put this What he said ^
  23. What I'd suggest is this. Contact someone selling the Porsche. Hand them 5k then tell them to drive the car to the nearest BMW garage and trade it in for whatever they want for the car minus 5k. Then drive away in a new BMW *insert model of car that you'll convince yourself you want and get rid of in 3 weeks here* It'll just save a lot of pissing around
