Oh I dunno, if we applied the same rules then I'd quite like a 911bhp Porker...

They're more than twice the size of the standard smilies, and nearly three times the height of the text. That's ridiculous IMHO.

Lots.

They're not smilies, they're full on pictures! They're the perfect example of how to make a forum look ugly and unusable though

TELL US

You have to tell us what it was now.

I'd hide all the nails around the time of Jesus' death.

They're idiots. SEOT

He's loaded now mate, proper minted I tell you. Yesterday he was pooping truffles and diamonds right out of his sphincter. Couple more years of this place and we're all retiring. I quite fancy Monaco myself.

Trouble is that all those subscriptions pay the wages of all the team here, so really there's nothing left in the pot. I mean, you wouldn't expect all of us to actually work for a living, would you?!

We're far too busy clubbing together to pay for Max's petrol, room costs, BBQ, red carpet, clothing, and someone to dress him in the morning to do anything about this. Sorry 'bout that.

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought.

*Dan like this* I fill up when the car needs fuel, and for the odd quid here or there I couldn't care less how much it costs. What I could save over a year (£50?) I'd waste in my own free time driving around trying to find the cheapest place, and my free time is more important than £50.

I've read this thread numerous times now and I still can't work out if it's genuine or dripping in sarcasm.

Read the code (either at a garage for approx £30 or DIY by following the guide on here) and post it up.

I'd be amazed if the Zed was en ex-hire or ex-lease car. I've yet to see a single Zed that fell into either of those camps. *awaits the rush of people saying they've seen loads*

If they've never done one before, they'll want to give themselves a good day to cover their arses in case stuff goes wrong. Or it might be 2x men for 4 hours, not impossible if they want to get an apprentice on it as well.

Sounds fair to me. £50p/h for 8 hours work-ish I guess? If you've used them before and trust them then I'd pay £100 more than some other garage who I didn't know from Adam. I can't remember what I paid for mine now though.

Yes. It's just like ordering anything else in the world ever.

Shocking stuff. I certainly won't beheading there in a hurry.

Oh good lord. The walking hormones are out...

The trouble is that with this kind of questioning you end up with misleading figures. For instance, I don't think that age is as relevant to the question of exhaust choice as money is, and you'll more than likely find that the younger folks with less disposable income will go for the cheaper exhausts i.e. Scorpion or K1, but the older folks with more money will go for the Nismo or Milltek. It still works though if you remove the age from the equation altogether and just look at the money side of things. However, asking people to state how much money they earn and what exhaust they've got is parallel is likely to go down as well as a £5 hooker

Just stick with the same grade and type as was put in during the service, i.e. if they filled it up with 5w-30 fully synth then I'd be happy topping with any other brand of 5w-30 fully synth you want to use. If you don't know the exact oil put in, then my example of a 5w-30 fully synth will do fine. Don't use Magnatec though as it's horrible thin watery crap.

Take it somewhere else.

Not if you live on somewhere where you have boy racers outside your door till the early hour playing loud music, handbrake turns and causing a nuisance. Sec 59 is designed to combat ASB whilst using motor vehicles. Anyway the new legislation would never remove the option of the individual to exercise their right to a day in court. As for issuing on the spot fine this has been going on for years, seat belt, mobile phone, parking, etc which now include theft, damage and many more minor offences which would otherwise take up valuable court time. Don’t let this thread become a place to voice your poor experiences with the police who only enforce the law not write them Sorry, but that's a load of rubbish. S.59 should be used for the purposes you mention, but it routinely isn't (check SP&L over on PH for a billionty and one examples) and it's also a law which you can't challenge in court, only direct to the police themselves which then gets buried. If the boy racers are doing handbrake turns in the road and causing a nuisance then they should get charged for Dangerous Driving which carries proper penalties. The whole s.59 law was brought in by a government that delighted in knee-jerk reactions to a perceived problem by Joe Public, and without much thought to the consequences. It's a horrible piece of legislation. The problem people have with this law is that it's unnecessary: We've already got a shedload of laws that cover the crimes mentioned by this which go through due process, and all this is doing is giving the police greater powers than they should have. Undertaking is the one I have serious issues with, as the police should be pulling over the person hogging the middle lane (as it invariably is) and giving them the bollocking, not the undertaker assuming it's done in a safe and controlled manner. Been there numerous times thanks, my folks own a place in Davenport which I get regular use of. They do weave in and out a lot, and considering how much they do it it's surprising the very few accidents it causes. Which junctions on the I4 are you referring to? It gets a bit chaotic as you enter the city on rush hour (especially the junctions around the basketball stadium when there's a game on) but no worse than you see on the M25 every day. I refuse to judge all Americans as idiots that can't drive, we've got enough of them over here without tarring an entire nation with that brush. Make people think about their actions/inactions, and target the mindless many rather than the deliberate few. Give 1pt on a licence and a £30 every time someone fails to indicate on a roundabout, on a motorway, turning into a side road; Give that same punishment to those who won't move over after overtaking; Make people realise that not everyone around them is psychic and they need to use their mirrors and indicators.
