Big Sam for manager anyone?

Was on the M5 last weekend before the Renault kaput, outside lane certainly wasn't clear for 2 hours to be chucking along at 100mph minimum!

If she thinks the car was at fault for her accident then it shows she isn't fit to be behind the wheel. A good driver knows the limits of their car, a bad and reckless driver exceeds them. Unfortunately there are many people of that age who think they are gods gift to driving and are indestructible, they only generally find out too late they are generally wrong.

We were covered on our bank gold account too...but only for breakdown assistance, presume you got Relay on yours?

Unfortunately it is people like her that will run a very high risk of killing/injuring herself or others as clearly the first incident you described has not made her learn from her mistakes. Right call informing her family, this sort of thing is not on.

Probably an over exaggerated (and moronic) boast as Dan said I would like to see somewhere in the UK how you can average over 100mph for 2 hours without being sat on a dyno. Simply drop this link onto her webpage...this is what an 80mph crash can look like http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36761849

Yes the NSX in the wet Looking forwards to the other show now, two car shows all year round is no bad thing!

It took a while, but you got there in the end...

In the absence of anyone closely credible..?

Be aware, speak to Tom Boreham first...he has had the same thing happen and has run through various scenarios!

Yes I totally agree, is was mind numbing to the point of tears. I love football, play twice a week and watch when I can, but to watch the game butchered like it was over the last couple of weeks was soul destroying. The final for me summed up the tournament, boredom, no attacking flair, no enterprise or desire to win a game just not to lose it.

Its not the loudest, I would say a notch or two above stock, but paired with HFCs or decats is a stunning sound. Difficult to gauge with videos as they never capture the true sound and reverberation of the exhaust. So many times over the last few years on here have I seen people looking for used exhausts going around the £500 mark, this is a steal at this price in this condition.

Aye shocking looking pitch, lips of the cars just clearing the front!

Pretty sure some photoshop gurus on here could take a photo you have and put different colours on the car such as GM and Silver etc.

Thanks guys, AA is £195 but you get a £50 fuel voucher, so would need some haggling come renewal time I would imagine to get it down to comparable ongoing levels of the others.

After the wife's Megane gave up at the weekend (gear linkage snapped) in the middle of nowhere 160 miles from home, have decided to get some family breakdown cover. I had some for myself with the AA for the Scotland trip but she only had breakdown assistance, of course it ended up being a pricey recovery for her when the AA guy said he didn't have a spare Megane gear linkage kit in the van... ...so investigating the costs of getting a dual/family cover for myself and her. The three big hitters are Green Flag, AA and RAC all coming in at around £150 a year for us both with onward journey cover, homestart, recovery etc. So anyone have views on which of the three are best? A look online pops up a few unknowns like GEM, any views on these up-starts? Cheers in advance as always

Good deal that, in great nick and bronze looks great on black!

Oh don't get me wrong, there were 'moments' but that doesn't make for a great tournament. 51 matches and I can probably recall 3 or 4 being any good and I watched a lot of them. Germans played a lot of passing with no end product, I was sat with a German last night and he said it was a poor tournament by their standards with very little end product. Wales Belgium was a good game, France Iceland was a huge mismatch, Spain under performed. I think in hindsight looking at the format it meant smaller teams can progress but it meant they had to defend like crazy to do it. Portugal progressed without winning a single group game - the third placed qualification just ruins the style of game.

It was one of the worst tournaments overall in living memory. The joke is if England were properly managed and organised and took their form players looking at what I saw last night they would have fancied winning that. I didn't see any team France/Germany/Italy aside that looked particularly world class. Germany were so naive only taking one recognised striker who subsequently got injured and messing around with these false 9's. Really was a poor tournament finished off with a shocking final, reminded me of the Argentina Germany in 1990 which ruined a great tournament.

Absolutely this. Utter dross from a team who went out not to lose rather than win each game. Every Portugese game was dull as dishwater.

I agree, my point was that Hurst is still celebrated just because he scored three goals in a WC final. Trophies do matter. But it doesn't make him a better player than another striker of his era who didn't win the world cup. Which was the point of the original post. This makes absolutely no difference in terms of if Ronaldo is a better player than Messi.

Ha! Wales were really poor against Portugal! The real winners were, erm, the agents selling over rated players for stupid money to muppets that own Premier League clubs.

It was a dreadful final. Portugal played for penalties from minute 1. It really was poor. France took off their match winners and put on average players. Farce all round really.

Geoff was a sub because Greavsie was injured. And wasn't a world class player, just made it in the final game. Didnt set the world alight in the national league either. Geoff Hurst was never seen as a world class player. Bobby Moore was however and was head and shoulders above Hurst as a player. It doesn't make they entire team world class though. Martin Peters was a better player than Hurst.

But their international team, which was the point, you know what I mean. Puskas was one of the greatest players ever, but what did Hungary win? Di Stefano was probably one of the most amazing midfielders ever, never won an international honour. Pointing towards international games means nothing.
