  1. Y'know what? I haven't, and I think I'm glad of that
  2. Pointless. Much like CIE, all this does is make life awkward for people who do bother to play by the rules. Would a criminal in a car who wanted to disguise the identity change the colour by wrapping the car (cost £1000), or change the plates (cost £20)? No brainer. And what do you do if the entire vehicle isn't covered? What constitutes an entire vehicle wrap? And yes, I've done mine before anyone asks.

    A biscuit? A tiny round of applause? A hamster? The world is your oyster. I suggest starting with a large demand, then expect to be haggled down. So maybe a 200m yacht, and then settle for a Curly Wurly.

    Or the civilised world, as we call it.
  5. If you don't spin once, you're not trying hard enough.

    Just tell us in a new post.

    rough idle

    Or, and this is a guess, it might be the MAF.

    Bet he's got the coil packs plugged in incorrectly.

    My fronts are ok but i will need back ones soon. Great! What are they?

    *tyres And they're okay. What are you putting on the front?
  11. Correct, by law he was deemed to be in control of the vehicle. However, you can't prosecute someone for speeding when they weren't driving. Drunk in charge? Possibly, but they have no idea how much he'd drunk and he might say he was just being cautious after having half a shandy. It's impossible to prosecute beyond reasonable doubt. So I say again, would you be happy to be banned from driving in the same circumstances?

    Def an F, you can tell by the bonnet drop off at the front and the height of the wing mirrors. And the little shark fin thing at the back. V6 S manual?
  13. Really? So with no proof whatsoever, you'd be happy if you had a ban just because the mags think you're pulling a fast one?
  14. Well, exactly. Still, it's easier case to prove when someone owns up. More likely the boyfriend is on 9pts.
  15. Not sure, although since we have no idea what state he was in it would be impossible to prove either way whether he was capable or not.
  16. Punishment seems about right, given she was only charged with speeding. Good condition motorway, reasonably empty (I assume anyway, at that time of night), early guilty plea.
  17. Should it not be NSR-OSR-NSF-OSF? And yes, you're right in saying that bleeding with the engine running can clear air from the ABS unit in the majority of cars without fancy SST from main dealers.
  18. I think you need to hire a better quality pikey to do your drive next time.

    Insurance Woes

    What do you get when you do a Go Compare The Meerkat?
  20. Bastard imperious on your credit card!
  21. I still love the bullsh*t line about it not being sold with any warranty. Whilst that may be true, that doesn't get the seller away from their statutory obligations. Might well be a decent car, but it's poorly advertised and with enough alarm bells jangling that it's putting people off.
