Oh you mean in that weird American year thing. I'd forgotten that they'd even bothered with another facelift this late on tbh, sorry.

Given they're not out until tomorrow, I suspect that's unlikely. Unless people are creepy enough to go wandering around Nissan garages just to photograph a numberplate

Into my BMW, yes. It’s got some kind of fancy thing where it turns itself off if the battery is low anyway, never had any issues with starting either so assuming it’s doing the job okay.

But you can see him make contact: If no contact was seen, or he approached directly from the side, there's no evidence at all. And even then, so what? Your car is still scratched, you still need to pay out to get it fixed (which you may or may not get back), arseache all round. Prevention is better than the cure, or so they say.

I'm really not feeling these over-sculpted wheels. A good old fashioned round wheel still feels the best to me, although I'll accept a flat bottom (fnar) too.

But even if it does, you have zero proof that the person in shot did it. All you need is two people walking together and you've reasonable doubt straight away. I get what you're trying to do, but I can't see it working for your intended purpose.

On what planet does a clonky old '80s chav mobile work as the best every day all rounder?!

Thing is dashcams aren’t going to help at all if the side gets keyed, so they won’t solve your problem. By all means get one for regular driving (I’ve a BlackVue too), but don’t splash out to prevent something like that.

But in all honesty, unless you have full 24 hour coverage of the whole car (and dashcams don’t do the sides), then you’re wasting your money for the purposes of catching someone keying the car. External CCTV would be much cheaper and more effective.

I’d say stop sleeping with your neighbour’s wife

It fails the 'take stuff to the tip' test.

It’s got everything: Fourth wall breaking, Mark Hamill with a giant fist, copious amounts of swearing, the complete package!

I’m not sure we can be friends any more. I utterly adore that film!

I doubt it, as technically they're correct in what they're saying (and I'm taking subframe in the broadest possible way here). You've done the right thing, you've got a new one done that shows otherwise, so I'd move on and not worry about it. Can always slap a coat of paint over it to show the next owner that you took it seriously and did something about it, hence why it didn't show up in the next MOT. My car has a note about badly corroded brake lines, so I had them replaced and now the current MOT doesn't mention it at all. Things go wrong on cars, you just need to spin the answer to the prospective buyer to show that you've sorted it and that the garage was a bunch of muppets.

"They're sex people, Lynn!"

Well what combo do you want? You have the choice of silver, grey, blue, darker blue, black, red, white, yellow, orange or brighter orange, with or without GT pack. There ain't that many combos there fella. But yeah, what is the spec you're after? Unless it's something like white with 10 miles on the clock for £3K, chances are it's already out there.

DAN DAN DAN DAN DAN DAN DAN DAN DAN Bane of my life for years, that was

*smug face*

Think about it for a second: How do you think a dealer is going to find a particular car for you, especially one as common (relatively) as the 350? They're just going to trawl PH, AT, eBay et al and see what's out there then charge YOU for that privilege. Simple answer is no, unless you're looking for something very rare or unique than just do the legwork yourself. There's not exactly a billion combinations out there

I still quote the "Have a w*nk professor!" line to this day, despite pretty much nobody knowing what it refers to anymore In terms of modern stuff though, I'm finding it hard to get past Big Mouth as one of the most extreme-edged yet incredibly accessible gross-out comedies I've seen for many years. Cannot wait for season two of that. Older stuff? I'm a sucker for Coupling. The giggle loop and the cushion episodes are as true today as they ever were.

Transmission fluid... front the front radiator? I think you mean coolant.

It needs to be officially licensed by the Gambling Commission if it's for commercial gain over £20K IIRC, so yes. http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/for-the-public/Fundraising-and-promotions/Advertising-and-promoting.aspx That makes it very clear that lotteries (incl raffles) can only be promoted for good causes, not commercial gain. Not passing judgement here, just stating facts,

Nowt against GT-Rs at all, it's giving a reasonable sum of money via unsecured funds to an unlicensed raffle to a complete stranger (granted, I am aware of Jurgen via the industry) that just doesn't seem like the greatest idea in the world.

And yet, still no.

Not in a billion years.
