I read the propoganda that came with Jo's teacher strike ballot last year, and after reading it there was no way they even considered giving anything approaching a balanced viewpoint. It was quite disgusting to read, if I'm honest.

Yeah, 'cos all rugby players are saints Both cases prove the exception rather than the rule IMHO.

I wouldn't even bother with that, tbh. Within a mile or so of driving on normal i.e. non-oiled road surface you'll have scraped everything off anyway.

Sorry, I assumed the £10K was a typo given the amount of zeroes on it. Clearly not, so I do apologise because I now look like an utter arse with my last comment, sorry Hugh.

Those lights are vile.

P2 is correct, what needs doing should be listed in your handbook. Expect to pay anywhere from £200 - £350, very much dependant on where you go. If going to a main dealer look at the higher figure of the two, and they will supply everything. Idle does seem a bit high, usually only does that when cold but then the mornings have been a bit nippy of late. Signs of exhaust blowing are really as simple as visible gasses escaping (check the flexi joint on the Y-pipe and the connections on the backbox) and a bit of extra noise.

Is that not the kind of thing that happens when the forum starts counting posts, or something equally weird? I know that 99% of other phpBB forums end up with oddly high users online numbers because of that, not sure about here though.

£10K isn't going to get you a car comparable to a DB9

Conti GT. Reliable, masculine, somewhat nippy.

Mine do it too, and they're 8 years old now. What is slightly weirder is the recent habit that Zelda (the male of the two) has recently picked up, which is to snuggle up and sniff my armpits once an evening before coming back up for air with a very contented look on his face, and a slightly puffy tail. It's a little bit... Well, a little bit pervy if I'm honest, but it keeps him happy enough.

I take umbrage with that first pic though: The sign says "Cliffs Kill", but surely it's the falling bit that kills you and not the actual cliff?

If you read what the managers said afterwards, it's a refreshing change. Whilst I don't think the players did themselves any credit, the referee and managers certainly did.

Plenty of Dicks on here

Exactly, either that or the sender.

I didn't mind paying more in a shop to guarantee myself a Day One copy, but what did tug on my nutsack was the obsession with second hand games over brand new ones. If I want a pikey copy, I'll go on eBay. I'm in a shop on the high street, give me an untouched copy you mongs!

So what's the level?

Top stuff

I can't see a problem with either tbh. Unless you're bump-starting a car every day for a month, then you're not going to cause any damage to it. Theoretically yes, you could, but I just can't see it happening.

Get the code read, either by a garage or by doing the tapping of the footpedals as described in the guide on here. Once we know the code we can help you out a little more.

You're not driving it properly, clearly

Any car not doing 70mph on the motorway in good conditions should be dragged to the nearest verge and burned. Can't stand people that dawdle along for no reason.

Blimey, that's an increase and a half. Thing is, no other company can offer the same service as RM and although it does have it's faults, for the most part they do a pretty good job under fairly strict controls.

Honestly? Probably not if you've given it a solid thump. A minor graze yes, but not with any weight behind it. My brother had a very light tap in his and it slaughtered the front end, he had to get a new bumper in the end. All the important parts stay fine, but everything else is designed to crush very easily to absorb the impact.

The 309 is considerably better to drive than the 296, but I've only limited experience of the 276 models so couldn't really say how much better the 296 is over the 276. I'd have swapped my old 296 for a 309 without question if the right car had been available.

So what you're saying is that you drove into a 30ft high brick wall that was right in front of you? And you still haven't checked for any damage, but instead ran in and posted on the interweb about it? Sorry man, I don't mean to be cruel, but you are without doubt one of my favourite posters ever on here! I just love how your brain works at times.
