  1. Yes. This is a really, really bad thing. Oh so easy to say now, but I'd have paid the £45 as it would be a lot cheaper than declaring the cancelled insurance. Check that Tesco specifically didn't ask you about cancelled policies before signing up, else you could be driving with no legal policy. This might be sorted with a letter from Hastings to confirm that, given the circumstances, they do not consider the policy as cancelled. Easier said than done to achieve though I suspect.
  2. Doesn't work for me You'll need excel or similar to edit it

    Would you rather own a 1955 Citroen, or a 1955 Mercedes?
  5. Crap, but this is why you should always check your nuts are tight (fnar) after 100 miles like GMB says. No comfort, but a timely reminder for us all. I'd expect either a very genuine apology, or a crap one and some kind of monetary gesture.
  6. First post updated with Poo Birth link for ease as well
  7. And it'll be a proper prize, not the poo itself!
  8. Can I play? I mean, at this point your guess is as good as mine! Go on then, I'll supply the prize. Closest wins, date and time to the nearest hour.
  9. There was no poo I thought we had a potential tortoise head (like a turtle head, but slower moving and larger) but no joy. It was just a little guff. Sorry folks. Always tomorrow though! In other news, I nearly had a stand up row with a nurse! Basically she f*cked up by shutting off my morphine machine, which then understandably had a fit. Two other nurses came to have a check but couldn't figure it out, then saw the mistake. It's on a six min timer so they left and I tested it, same problem, big red error code. Bad Nurse came back in, I pointed out it was still showing a red screen to which she then got incredibly aggressive and said no it was fine and clearly it's given me the right dose. My pain said otherwise, and the fact it gave the same error message when the thing was blocked off as when it's now supposedly fixed means it can't be right. And tbh, I didn't expect to be told to carry on using a piece of medical equipment with an error code in it! I asked her to put it in writing that it was safe to use, as I'd got the right hump by this point, she then told me I didn't know what I was talking about (because obviously I don't deal with pumps and fluids and controls every day) and I should just get on with it. She actually left the room as I was still talking to her. Erm, I don't think so love. Called for the manager, spoke to he senior sister who was lovely and completely agreed that even if I was 100% wrong about the machine, you still never talk to patients that way. Turns out the whole cannula was goosed, which the other nurse should've noticed too, so that was replaced and it's all working now. Just couldn't believe it. I wouldn't accept that from the NHS, damn as hell won't accept it from private! Nice letter of complaint going in when I'm out of here.

    I suppose all it needs is hydraulics on the adjustment points, a bit like the McLaren active suspension and the Porsche PDCC, but that seems a lot of effort. Also seems totally believable for the Veyron.

    I'm sorry I don't understand my own thread guys *goes back to running tongue over raspbery-flavoured glass*
  12. Unfortunately you won't have any passengers, as that's so bloody ugly no-one will get in it
  13. Nope, not fussed at all. Makes sense, they don't really have TV out in the wilds of Bolivia but everyone has a radio, plus it injects a bit of life to the game as otherwise all you'd hear is the odd car rolling past or your own footsteps. It does, however, bug me that all the cars default to radio on when you get in them, even if you just got out after having it turned off! First thing I do when getting in a car is hit G to turn that noise off.

    I'm almost sorry I started this thread now. I thought it would be relatively simple to grasp the concept of, and might be a little fun where we query if the it should be the F1 or the Muira. Definitive != best

    The Carrera GT is, for me, the most perfect car ever made. It's a LeMans prototype, with a high revving V10 engine that sounds like heaven, a manual gearbox, and the roof even comes off. Given the fact I spaff my winky nightly before bedtime over anything from Stuttgart, suffice to say I really, really love the CGT. It ain't even close to being the definitive hypercar. Not on this planet. The F1 takes that role with aplomb, nearly elbowing both the F40 and the Miura off the podium while it steps up to grab the champagne from the top step.

    It's just a bit of fun mate, don't overthink it But I'm not having that the FRSmk3 is the definitive hot hatch. Nope, never.

    I don't think so. The definitive thing can be new, it can be old, but because of what it did/is it will always be that. P1 for example is arguably the definitive hypercar because of the torque fill, that will never change.

    You're now banned from playing until you understand the rules.
  19. Can't see you getting both for £150k, unless it was a leggy 96RS and an early auto NSX.

    Current Focus RS will be forgotten reasonably quickly, certainly not going to be a classic or the definitive anything imho. It might be the quickest hatch, but so what? Next year the new Golf will come out which will be even quicker. I'd say the Clio 182 Trophy has a great shout of definitive hot hatch too, much more so than any Focus. Still think the Golf GTi mk2 nicks it though. It's not about being the fastest. Think of it more as showing something to an alien and he has to understand that's exactly what you mean. I used the 911 as definitive sports coupe as that's what every single competitor would love to have, something that defies age and always drives spectacularly whilst having a USP and room for the kids. Doesn't matter what 911, just compare it through the ages. Hot hatch was an invention of the '80s really, and it's a car that carries the family at a brisk pace with perfect controls and steering feel.

    As the definitive what?!
  22. Yeah, I know. Then again, if you think a new Huayra is like £1.8M before taxes and before silly options, then you can see why they've dragged the old cars up with them.
  23. Zonda for £150k might get you in the door at the showroom. Nope, Zondas (even basic C12) have long been past the half mil mark, most now well over a mil.
  24. Well now I might just as well kill myself and be done with it You'll all be delighted to know I nearly had a poo this morning! First one in over a week! Wasn't quite a turtle head, but I reckon that monster will pop out to say hello later on today.
