Blimey, you been on that site I put my pic up on Ricey ????

£100 a month......... I don't get out much Do put about £600 a month in the Navara though

And I agree car would probably win.... But bolt can pull up and stop in 10m easily. If the car had to do the same who would win then? My money is now on Bolt!!!!!

Vague title.............. Made you look though And no, not got married, have got a 'friend' though, so less time on here

Is a 350 or 370 faster than Mr Bolt over 100m from a standing start?

Lightweight

Wasso will be here soon guys, his tour is heading this way. Anyone else in the Beds/Herts/Bucks area want to take advantage of his services? We need to make it worth his while.

Looking forward to Ian getting to me in the not to distant future, on his extended tour of the southeast/midlands. I do however fear for his sanity........ All that squash combined with excessive heat (that wont last), and then the pressure from the devoted owners and general hangers on (Will). Then he has to come and sort my poor girl out, and I know she starts in a poorer condition than most of you other guys I can see he will do an excellent job though, and I realise where the hospitality levels have been set Paul

Im in Bedfordshire Right on the A1 running through the middle of the county. Not finalised dates with Ian yet, but aiming for a long weekend in the not too distant future. Might end up as a mini meet with hotel facilities (well i have 3 spare bedrooms, and a few pubs nearby) Paul

Keys?

Hi Guys. For anyone in my area that might be interested (I'm in Bedfordshire), Wasso (Ian) is coming down in the not to distant future to give my gal a good going over Thought it might make it much more worthwhile for him if any other local members are interested in one of his detailing sessions? I think Ian is quite prepared to come down for a long weekend if he can get 3 or 4 people interested? Anyone like the idea reply soon and we will try to get some dates together that suit everyone Paul.

1) I coat my cornflakes every morning with lead filings and 99Ron fuel. 2) I cut the grass by pouring petrol over it and setting fire! 3) I chew on wild rabbits as a snack. 4) I blow my tyres up with my mouth. 5) I shave with a bowie knife. 6) I changed my oil and used my teeth to get the sup plug off! 7) I too changed my oil and drank the waste! 8) I eat my dinner with a pitch fork and machete. 9) My cat has been trained to be the local drug dealer 10) I drive a pick up truck.

Never reset the trip on mine, and can't get it over 24 But I guess that is a pretty good over mixed road driving? Anyway, its not like we expect fantastic MPG when we buy them is it ?

Must admit this thread is making you lot look a little less masculine than expected? As a rough tough builder obviously i couldn't possibly add to the list Do like an indian head massage when I go to the barbers though, plus I always refuse the free beer and opt instead for a small glass of Pinot !

nope. be ok in sainsburys carpark though

Used to get 35 out of the c180 Well she could get 40, but drove it like an old woman using the auto box, prefered to use the tiptronic myself and still averaged 33

These look lovely mmmmm, could match the piping to my wheel colour

How about a nice little C180 sports coupe. Even better if you can get a pamarama evo.. Bought one for my mrs a couple of years back. Nice little runner, fairly econmical, nippy, not unattractive. Really miss her By the way I'm talking about the car, not my mrs !!!!

It's like watching vultures circling around the corpse looking for parts to take away

Decent gesture, although as a business it had potential to do me major damage, but hey I have a landline and answer macine so no complaint here I guess they know who was affected, or are we being asked to prove it?

wonder if the airbags went off?

Having been in business and owned my company for more years than I care to admit on here, I have in those many years had less than a handful of people who have not payed their invoices upon completion of work. As you would expect, it's always the final bill there are going to be issues with, because until then they want you to complete the work. Having recently finished a decent sized extension with invoices totalling 80K+ the customer has bounced the last but one cheque and still hasn't had the final invoice which I never issue until the work is signed off by building control. (Yes I'm a decent builder and have never 'caught' a client, and never will). Any guy or gals on here had similar issues in business, and how did you handle it? I have county courted bad payers before, but it's a slow process with acres of paperwork which I'd rather not do unless forced! I don't work off bank funds, don't have overdraft or loan facilities, and just like people to be as straight with me as I am with them....... Paul

LOL I've noticed on here that when there's a line to cross, some people just jump a mile past it
