Hmmmm...... in black.. black wheels... a bit less of the old "1980's ford X pack arches" and i'd say yep..

Well i like em.. they might have been styled with a ruler or using cereal boxes for a mock up.. or based on an original drawing by a 5 year old at some japanese first grade school but those r34's have got something about em... And yes.. the interior is rotten.. almost as ugly as an early nsx's or an 80's porker 911 or a vw corrado... and if i had one i'd wanna play really loud drum n bass and fit neons though........ and dustbin exhausts... all that said i'd still have one in black or metallic blue with carbon look alloys and black windows... sorted.....

Nice(ish) looks ....... 3.8 seems to have emphysema....... cr4p slow for displacment... or the panels are made from Pig Iron and it weights 4 tones hence the lardy performance... And come one.... the image.... I know Nissan / Datsun have knocked out some proper spaktards.. (the almera, the sunny, the cherry, the micra, that 90's 4x4 that platform shared with ford.. can't remember the name but it was biblically cr4p), but Hyundry have made it their mission statement.. the "pony" .. the most appropriate name for a car in mockney rhyming slang.. or to give it it's ful name " The Hy-and-dry Pony (and trap)" I'd only drive that at night wearing a full fonejacker balaclava and in a foreign country... And yes... image is important sometimes.. unless you don't mind being mocked by people who spent the same money on a car with some credibility.. that is faster... and looks better... The only place Hyundai's make sense is in the 3rd world as taxis.... only kidding they also make good taxis in the UK.. oh sorry we are the 3rd world... now ... thanks to the banks... oh god.. i'm ranting again... so .. nice try.. maybe 10 year from now they will have earned their credibility stripes... and worked out how to get some performance out of a 3.8 litre engine....... i need to say that again... 3.8 litre ... in a korean ferrari.. it all makes perfect sense .......

I like the abarth...... a lot.. must resisit...... there is a hot(ter) version coming out. circa 200bhp !!!! that'll be a scary little go-kart

by then we'll need a good feckin land war to boost the economy.. my money's on invading france... they deserve it !!!

pmsl.... As far as i can tell the only people now staffing the wash and go type places round manchester are either albanians or asbo riddled wasp youth... always the same m.o. .. joint is owned by either a shouty fat english bloke / Or a Young Asian with pockets overflowing with tenners !!

A brilliant job on that vxr.. in fact on all your posts.. i also wish i lived that end of the country ! .. i nearly spat half a cup of coffee over my laptop when i read that reg plate....

the world's going to cr4p double time.... un b fecking lievable.. i'm not generally sympathetic with the car manufacturers when they plead poverty... but having seen Saab's predicament on the news + vauxhall + jag + honda mini + nissan i am a convert..... We need that 2.5k off the gov't if you trade in a scrapper to revitalise teh market.. Germany seem to be loving it.....

Stan.. i feel your pain.. but just as my attempt of being the most miserable b4st4rd working this weekend.. and because you work in the same line.. thought i'd share my personal brand of misery with you...... I am currently sat in a datacentre in holland rebuilding a 4 tier 20 server, multi cluster sap production system after replacing the mirrored SAN's... flew over yesterday a.m. finished at 01:00 this morning, then back in at 7:00 and likely to finish at midnight tonight.. then back at 7:00 through about 22:00 tomorrow.... then back on Monday from about 08:00, flying back to Manc at 21:00 Monday..... I have managed to spend about 2 hours on t'interweb looking for a car for my wife... we sold her strudelpanzer and she's running round in a miserable rented e200 merc .. (trust me the e-class with a 200 engine is biblically slow.. i've seen faster continental drift.... so i won't be driving that one again !!!!) Oh, nice footballer express in your piccie.... you can pick up bentley conti's on the 04 plate for mid 30's.that is seriously good value....

it made my lug nuts tingle just watching that !!!

Megane is fab.. renault build quality is dubious.. need tolose all the "boyakasha" stickers splatteredall over em.. but sweet motor.. you gotta drive it like a proper feline to get 40+ mpgs though My mates got a 55 plate golf shopping-gti and it's ok,.. bit sluggish but well built. An acquiantance has one of them mock sport 2.0i audi a3's.... my advice..get the golf.. same car only much cheaper my money would go SEAT Leon 1968 cc 2.0 TDi DPF FR (think it's a special edition) or the petrol SEAT LEON 2000 cc T FSI Cupra K1.. nice There are some pretty interesting 1-series beemers around at the moment.. some pretty pokey little motors if you can get past the odd looks.... Don't touch the merc c-class sport coupe horror..... nasty .... appears to be the old car with new wings and a corporate snoot fitted.... cack motor... and last,, new mitsu sport coupe / hatch thingy.. looksgood on the advert..

Mine can sometimes smell like burning clutch / brakes etc.. but only after spirited driving and late .. ahem.. braking / accidental drifting.. :0) ..quite normal..

- do i need to fit spacers - do i need to lower it with spacers and std wheels / rays ans = YES

I get a clicking from the black plastic tie that connects the door to the "A" pillar to stop the door swinging open and hitting the wing !.. i need to grease it up i think giggity... worth checking as well as the loose pin .

Yep, i had a "nice motor mate" from a young lady in sainsbury's recently... and a bloke in a minging 280z tell me how much he liked 350's..... if he was waiting for the response "i like 280's" he would still be waiting now....

Spotted, red 02 plated .. heading from Middleton to Ashton on the M60.. Car didn't look like an 02.. plate looked sort of private(ish) If it was you.. I was the filithy silver one in the outside lane.. Good looking motor in red... suits the car i reckon..

I had to have my rear bumper resprayed twice after it got damaged at a dealers... first repaid looked like Stevie Wonder had spat the paint on it .. bad match, too much paint in some areas making it look like it had black circles in the paint.. really poor job.. the dealer had spotted it when it was done and waitied for me to reject it.. and then said i was going to reject it anyway.... My first attempt had jaffa peel galore... made yours looke acceptable.. The second job was good and smooth but not 100% taken on the colour match.. gave up in the end figured it was close enough. My opinion... that orange peel is way to evident... reject, acknowledge colour match looks good though but demand it to be done again but this time by someone that can move a spray gun quick enough and at the right distance from the subject.... Good luck, post your result.

I'm a big fan.... The episode where they go to the p0rn shop is class.. quagmire does he "make em laugh" song .. class part of the song - I crack her on the noggin' with a lamp or a vase And then when she's unconscious I do stuff to her face Make em laugh make em laugh make em laugh My fave bits - Quagmire holiday cottage with the arm and leg clamps built into the sofa, Peter sits down, presses a light switch and before you know it he has been clamped,gassed, stripped naked and turned on all fours When peter goes redkneck and gets a pickup truck.. he crashes into Quagmires car, the boot pops open and a group of thai girls in underwear jump out and run away.. Peter offers to round them up but Quagmire (in a slightly irritated voice) says no it's ok they're tagged ! The episode about Lois's mad brother (the fat person serial killer) is fab.. the "pow right in the kisser" scene that traumatised him as a kid and then when he finally gets out of the asylum Peter gets a fancy dress uniform and uses the same line.. pushes him right over the edge. I could go on.. there are so many class episodes.. especially love peter's flashbacks...

It sounds like the b4st4rd marriage from hell... merging then de-merging with chrysler nearly bankrupted mercedes... it'll probably bankrupt italy this time.... chrysler... relying on 1970's technology coupled to 1950 - 1975 styling... nice... And fiat.. relying on the italian government to bail them out for the last 495 years..... Worse real mergers = Tata and Jaguar/land rover ... have you seen tata's own cars.. they are abominations.. i can just see one of their tata pick up trucks with a Landrover badge.. they could call it the "value range" (rover)..... or vague rover... something like that maybe...

oh god, i'm laughing that much it hurts... It is just like being on any virgin africa flight.. awful.. truly awful. Worst flight i ever had was a scheduled BA dc-10 out of LH to Miami... about 15 years ago.. it had been configured with max seating so you had no legroom at all and the thinnest seats ever fitted to an aircraft... when i came to get off it felt like you had your spine broken just above the hip then got stabbed in the achiles tendons just to make doubly sure.. how we didn't all get dvt i don't know... and it was a fecking DC-10.. it was like flying air 50/50 ... i haven't flown BA since.. in fact i recently flew with sleasyjet to avoid BA.. how's that for sufference.... i'd rather swim and crawl than fly ba....

I have the HTC touch HD and it is excellent.. gone are the windows mobile glitches, touchflo interface is excelent and battery life is by far the best of any device of it's type i have tried. It instantly worked with the 350z stock bluetooth and is clear as you like. I like the i-phone too.. but as i have an ipod touch as part of my hifi i wanted something different.. the screen on the HTC touch HD is higher res and larger than the i-phone 2g or 3g .. which for me is good as i travel a lot so like watching movies on my phone.. I would recommend it..

Oh yeah.. i can see why

i've had to change my avatar now and everything.... if you are a bit of a family guy fan my sis got me a great book as part of my xmas package - "Peter griffins guide to the holidays".. class.. absolute class

mate... make it stop.. make the bad man go away

I'll see your stewie and raise you a quagmire
