Look ....get some pics of them on the car!

700 and you're 21! That's pretty great

 

I pay about 900, I'm 28 with 10 years no claims and 3 points on liscense. That was the best I could get too after a fair bit of shopping around. I think it's because of my LS6 postcode though and not being garaged. Up for renewal soon though so hopefully I can knock it down a bit!

Woah, that sounds steep. I just turned 27 a few weeks ago and i only pay £400 fully comp with 8 years no claims. Are you declaring loads of mods or something?

Would it be wrong to say something about female drivers.....only kidding lol

As said, it dont look that bad. polish and t cut the life out of it and the see a paintless dent removal company. I always find the hardest thing is finding time to arrange it getting fixed. Still ned to arrange to get a door ding someone gave me out. On that note anyone know any companys in the glasgow area? lol. Hijacked

Come on the tescos! you vpower snobs lol .....whats the v stand for?

Isnt tesco like a higher octane rating? 99 I think.

Scrap that - tesco clubcard points all the way and then you can spend your winnings on guess what...................MORE FUEL

Ah, a square plate would ruin my reg too! Thankfully my car is uk.

Irfan above has a small plate which looks tidy but not sure if you will get legal spacing if you have a standard amount of numbers/letters. Irfan is loaded so could afford to cut a couple of letters off.

What you mean upgrade pack? This is the standard gt pack. Just me?

Where will it be then?

Andorra, Angola, Bantu Homelands, Bhutan, Bosnia, Cambodia, Ciskei, Cuba, Iran, Korea (North), Libya, Maldives, Serbia, Somalia, Taiwan, Transkei, Vanuatu, and Vietnam.

....make sure you leave you Z so we can savagely strip it like a pack of wild dogs! Share the wealth!

I am looking out for those who have a bit too much carbon bling and shopping them...............carbon slut is first up!

Sorry to hear this sad news Sarah! My condolences to the family. I'm on my way to 'just giving' to donate....

You can listen to a couple of the new tracks on their website!

People have compared it to holy bible but I dont think its quite as full on....it's different again - thats why I like them so much

Nicky Wire sings the last one on the album though and he can't sing for sh...peanuts.

That would be most saucy if thats ok Jay - good to meet you before the offical meet! Irfan sent me a pm telling me where you guys are meeting so I will get you guys there if you can give me a time whenever you guys decide...think I am going to have to miss out on the tommy k badge replicas and get a real one on my car for then so at least I have one wee think to show off lol

Manics new album arrived today from Amazon - had the fancy pants edition on pre-order. Have to say, I am really liking it - anyone with me?

.....and I am going to see them on Monday at the Barrowlands!

Possibly Jay?

The milage is quite high but there are plenty of people on the site who have shot past the 100, 000 mile mark with no major problems! It all depends what you are happy with. I would suggest looking at the car to see the kind of condition it is in - that may make your mind up for you. Its a 54 plate registration so probably registered in 2005 - this will mean its the 276BHP (pre facelift) which I believe is more moddable if thats a route you want to go down.

Have to agree - the wales pics are awesome! Wish I could of been there but our mini meet will be just as good

Irfan - are you still considering going to the ek meet on the 28th? If so send a wee message my way

Congratulations! Looks - let the modding begin lol

Im considering it atm.

 

Just need you all to promise something...all ye northeners must talk in ENGLISH! including Nixy

Aye, we will speak in english if you guys can fumble more than 4 words per minute out your mouths!

np Maz, whats FI mean ?, sorry to be a dummy

Forced Induction

For 16k+ its an investment for me - but that don't mean I cant enjoy it

 

I do agree that in the recession it would seem many people are holding on to their cars.

There are not many cars that are an investment. Yeah, its a relatively expensive option for a car but you can't think you are buying it as an investment - it's not going to make you money or hold its value. Infact it costs alot to run and tax in comparision to many other cars but as others have said well worth it!

If I were you I would do my homework, decide exactly what I want and then look for the best example possible. Travel long distances if need be and dont be scared to walk away if its not the one for you. Do you know why you want a 07+ model....is it just age, small changes like the bonnet bulge, the new engine? Remember the 06+ (296) models have all the other facelift features and dont quote me but think they have better mid range torque. If I am wrong someone will be along to spank me soon.

Cant wait to see this at the glasgow area meet. It is stunningly beautiful!

At least there is no skidders! haha
