  1. Does anyone know how to remove this before I sever the bastard handbrake cables? I hate hate hate hate it!!! Sorry for the rant but it can kick in sometimes when reversing it into our lock up, there is a slight raise from the lane into the lockup and it kicks in. Tonight I reversed it in, paused and it kicked in. I'm paranoid it's going to burn my clutch out one day because if you go against it all you can smell is clutch burning, someone help me
  2. Fair play mate, reading this thread makes me feel somewhat selfish for the times I've felt like I've been hard done by when something has gone wrong. I have a huge amount of respect for you and all you've been through, even more for the fact that you're turning this around to help others, you're a stand up guy. I don't know you personally or knew your dad but I am sure he would be so proud of you! Hang in there and in reference to getting back in a Zed, treat yourself to a 370
  3. I recently stopped in some town in Belgium on the way back from Austria. It was called Namur actually, the streets were as you described, I wouldn't take the Zed, but hey I suppose our bad experience can't be used to label all of Belgium as bad, we can hardly talk our roads are in a terrible state!
  4. That is classic, I would have died laughing.
  5. I'm just going for the main points instead of reading the article: # Dentist's flatulence had colleagues reaching for air freshener - fair enough maybe he could have done it in a private place on his own but still, it's hardly against the law. # Admits flicking V-signs behind patients backs was 'juvenile' - who doesn't get wound up by customers, they make your business money but they can be a right pain in the arse sometimes. # Forced patients from poorer backgrounds to pay up-front - I would too! Anyone will knock anyone, he's just trying to cover himself.
  6. They're not for old people, simple

    My new-ish toy

  8. I've only been driving for 8 years. Worst thing I think I've done is crash into a parked car. Lovely May day bank holiday I must have been about 18 and we were off to the beach, driving out of town the roads were a nightmare and I was coming up to a petrol station, fumbling around trying to get my wallet out of my pocket I glanced down and BANG, hit a parked car. I think I caused about 1k worth of damage to my car and the bastard Citreon AX I hit sustained about £70 worth of damage. It was made worse by my mates wetting themselves and the fact that I never got down to the beach. When I eventually found the owner of the car he didn't even notice the damage!
  9. It's a farce, I respect them for their innovation, I know they have to make profits but they bring out an updated 'iGottahavethispieceofshit' every 5 minutes.
  10. listen to Uncle Albert! Gorge du Verdun looks amazing and pretty much on the route I'd take. What are the roads like down there?

  17. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/mar/02/army-handler-dog-death-afghanistan Saw that and instantly thought it had to be related to this thread. Very sad.
  18. I don't know why I find this funny, I mean I wouldn't if someone got seriously injured but still the guy is a loon, he deserves a good slapping about.

  20. "Women could be running F1 in 'three to five years'" - this one's for Andy Gray.
  21. RIP - makes you think, doesn't it. Someone willing to lay their life on the line for this country. Much respect and my thoughts are with you mate, his family and girlfriend. Be strong.
