Lemme set my SatNav to "no Wales" mode.

Beware of the Sasha Zed Ownership Law: Length of time of Zed ownership is inversely proportional to wealth. /goes off to find out which ocean his Do-Luck bumper is swimming through.

That's exactly what i was trying to say but cba to write it all out.......... LIES! I AM THE SOLE SOURCE OF THIS ALMIGHTY NOLLEG!

" Ya baby ya ill take them for free" 1. you can't be sure that Shaun1982 is actually a person. Therefore "it" might not qualify. I get suspicious when "persons" have names with numbers in them. Most likely a bot. 2. I have a number of witnesses to the fact that I actually physically said out loud the above phrase. Unless Shaun can provide evidence, I would not trust "it" to have conformed to the laid out rules. You know it makes sense. Shall I pm you my address?

The promotion is really quite simple. For every price, 2 out of the 3 streets (or 1 out of 2) are widely available. There will be hundreds of millions of these printed. If you go enough times, you'll get a board with 1 of each missing. Those are virtually impossible to get. The number of prizes printed next to each picture tells you how many of those stickers have been printed. So for example, there's only 1 Mayfair sticker printed. For the cheaper prizes, there are some instant wins as well. So to get a Fiat 500, there will be 8 stickers with Coventry street and 2 stickers which will just say "You have won a Fiat 500". All this, together with the fact that >50% of people eating McDonalds don't care about the stickers and throw away their cartons with all the stickers still on them and half of the remaining people won't go more than once or twice (ie even if they get a rare sticker, they'll probably never find out that this is the case) means that in reality hardly any of the prizes will actually be claimed.

I got a few quotes and in my case I'm talking of almost halved insurance costs which is a lot of ££ to me.

I'm thinking of doing something similar, but have around 4 months between when mine runs out and my 25th birthday.

Set my personal best when I put in £98.83 worth of petrol into my car a couple weeks ago. 78.5 litres of Shell V-power @125.9. And yes, my "----" sign was on for a while.

I'd be careful with those. Don't know about the brand, but 1. the offsets are bad. You'll need spacers all round to clear your calipers and I'm not sure how that'll look with those wheels. 2. These are not staggered widths. Others can explain better than me, but getting wider rears is the way to go. Also, remember that for any wheels you get, you'll need tyres + fitting + delivery, etc. Some traders on here could do you a decent all inc. package.

I'm a late entrant, but catching up nice and quick. Got mine in September with 47k. Will have taken it 20k since then within the next week :o

Whoah! Have to admit, those do look

Met another Zed at a wedding yesterday in Peterborough. Had a mini-procession from cathedral to the reception venue. to another member (Neil). Put my dirty mog to shame with his shining LEDs.

I turned up some time ago to that very place. One of the people working there saw my car out of the window and told me they only serviced Renaults & Nissans. Do the right thing and go down to Mitz. Leicester is not far.

what he said ^^

At least my cheeky £90.00 offer gave you a free bump Dave Misread the earlier posts in this thread. Withdrawing my dibs for now.

Sent a pm a little while ago. Provisional dibs.

What exactly does the "latest revision" mean? Xbox site advertises Xbox 360 Elite (120GB) and Xbox 360 Arcade (256MB). I am a complete n00bin consoles, so trying to understand how new/decent this thing is. I wonder how difficult it would be to integrate into the Zed...

The companies are not the problem here. I don't and never have worked in the oil industry, so have no vested interest in this and my views are not skewed. The problem consists of a huge number of separate issues: 1. Taxes, levies, etc, etc. These make up the vast bulk of the petrol price in this country. It is absurt that the government should take such a huge chunk of money for people to allow themselves to do things like go to work. ~48-50% of the price 2. VAT. Again, taxing people for not sitting at home, claiming benefits. 17.5% of the price 3. Price of crude oil + refining costs. These are fixed to a degree. Roughly speaking ~30-32%. Some of the bigger firms can bring this down to 28-29% territory if they are very good. That totals around 97-98% of the price of petrol in this country. 4. This is a massive point that nobody seems to mention and one that the media very smartly always omit. Any massive oil company has to forecast a number of months & years in advance to ensure they explore, drill, pump, deliver, buy, etc so that you can have petrol at your doorstep every single day. Therefore, today's petrol price to the company will be a very complex mix of the prices over the last 5-6 years. If a company's balance sheet meant that they had to buy a lot during an expensive period, that will mean that when prices come down, they cannot drop theirs in turn. Moreover, these companies have to forecast what the price will do going forward. As the general view is that prices will continue steadily climbing, the forward curve on oil price is only getting steeper. Hence even though the oil price on the market today is X, the price of an advance trade/buying for 2 years from now/future/any other product an oil company wishes to get (eg derivative types) will be a lot higher than this. Basically, compared to the majority of businesses, oil companies have relatively tiny profits. The absolute numbers published by newspapers can look staggering, but given the turnover these companies have (unlike any other product, virtually ALL of us use their merchandise every single day), they are really not large at all. The really big problem in this country is the government which does not realise that charging 70% of the price of petrol as some form of tax is quite frankly a joke. That, together with road tax, all the taxes associated with buying and maintaining cars, etc, I find it rather surprising when my local council informs me that they don't have enough budget to go and fill in massive gaping potholes all over the place. *** As mentioned above, this initiative won't work. There has to be something much more drastic if anything is to change.

Check out Priceline and Hotwire. A lot of reading on betterbidding.com (too lazy to google & link), but the short story is that you can get nice hotels at very very reasonable prices. Google those sites and have a read around. FYI: When we were looking a year or two ago, Grand Hotel de la Minerve was one of the hotels you could get through those sites.

I'll keep buying them lottery tickets Still can't make my mind up as to what would go better with the stealth look anyway. Red calipers with black writing or black calipers with red writing.

I do want some red calipers at some point in the future, but the cost is just a little too far for me, so will have to settle with orange for now...

Sorry. Not sure what you're talking about.
