My old car...

Supra is dreamy!

In short, last year I sold my zed and my shed, I bought a slighter more reliable shed but as a security measure took out an AA membership incase I ran into any trouble. I have some sort of roadside cover with my bank account but doubt it is of much use. Last year I paid an annual membership of £95 for roadside assistance, Homestart and Relay. I have been in Mexico for a couple of weeks and came home to a letter from the AA with a renewal letter saying I have been upgraded to a Silver Membership which in essence looks to be exactly the same thing I had last year under a new guise. They even kindly explained that they would take the money automatically on or around August 1st which is today. The best bit - renewal is £190.26. One hundred percent mark up from last year. Now I will give them that the new card certainly looks more swish but its not an extra £95 swish. I went onto my online banking expecting to see the payment taken but thankfully it hadn't so I cancelled the DD. The things that really annoys me is if I sign up as a new customer I can get all the same options and add in parts and garage cover and onward journey for £159 - still £31 less with every optional extra. I was in two minds about renewing but had decided for the sake of £95 I would. However, even though I am pretty certain they will come down if I phone them I am not sure I want to. Why do they feel they need to try and bum customers like this? OK, some will be daft enough to not read and let it continue but surely content customers mean sustained customers?

Do what the Americans do and make people pay first. A pain but would stop this happening. For those not aware, in the states, if you try to fill up without going in first they don't turn the pumps on. You have to go in and pay an amount you want (say 60$) and the pump stops at that amount or if you have change you go back in and collect it. For those not wanted to go inside, use your card like the tesco pay at pump stations have.

...and at nearly double the price in the UK as they are in the US. Would I pay 60k for one of these? Nope!

Making statements like that in a court will wind the police up no end. I would imagine he'll be closely watched from now on. Pete ...and no doubt take them to court for harassment.

I don't miss the cleaning at all! lol

Oh, makes me want one again. No Craig no!

The bit that really boils my urine is when he says in court 'I'm still going to drive. Catch me if you can'. The judge should of been entitled to say 'Is the right ya wee fanny. Jail, now I don't need to try'

Jay sent me a wee message to make me aware my old zed was back up for sale. Was up for 10k but going for 9k now. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350-Z-BLACK-/300935752548?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item46112b2b64 Buy it back?

What's happened to this place - people would of scratched each others eyes out for bit like this a year back.

Hey guys, I have been doing a power of creeping recently but haven't contributed anything in a while - life has been a bit hectic recently. After selling the Z, my interest in rallying has grown after meeting my new neighbour. His wife usually navigates for him but he offered me the chance to navigate for him in his Mk2 Escort (2.3 JRE) at the Jim Clark Rally and needless to say I bit his hand off. So after a couple of months of pace note practising against videos etc we hit the tarmac and all i can say is it blows track days out the water - total buzz. Unfortunately we only got footage of the Bothwell stage which was the first and most narrow of all stages so not the quickest but it gives you an idea anyway. I have posted a few pics too!

Shiat! Sorry to see this dude! Hope they nail the ****er that did it.

Congrats man - really pleased for you! :yahoo: :yahoo:

Really like it mate! That front bumper is much much better!!!....and is that some cheeky angel eye lights?

Anybody watched this? What do you make of it? I have mixed feelings - I agree that if you aren't making payments things should be taken back but I have felt bad for some people in certain circumstances. As for the repo men in question - I have to question the lawfulness of half the things they are doing.

Because the phoneme 'ph' makes the 'f' sound. E.g. pharmacy or elephant. Simples lol

Nah mate, Scott is a lotus boy and that is his daily runner - he is getting shot of it for a merc!

Bonjour!

10 years of yawn

Just seen some horrific photos of this. Well done to the brave people diving straight in to help them! I severely hope the person responsible is caught and dealt with in the harshest manner possible!

Or check the connections under the seat

Not too shabby!
