That's reassurring to know!

So that we can feel superior Seriously i just got em because they have a good rep and i like the look of em. If you got decent ones for a tenner fair play.

Not very exciting but if anyone is considering a wiper upgrade I got the Bosch ones from Ebay for £19. They fit really easy and work great

Stop telling him to "man up" and kill something that's a fraction of his size. Nowt manly about that!

Had a similarly pleasing experience on Saturday while washing the car: chap from down the road who I've previously just nodded hello to spent a long time telling me how much he loved the look of the car and to let him know first if I ever decide to sell. Also told me he prefers it to the brand new Cayman one of our neighbours has just bought. Made my day

As others have said, any decent after-market exhaust will transform the sound.

Ooh you lot are so mean Leave the poor thing alone. It's not gonna eat ya!

Yep - it's nice to get attention (and it's usually positive) and it's quite satisfying to not rise to the bait

My other half reckons she's had a bit of negative treatment in our 370 - not being let out at a junction being one example but it's not something I can recall noticing.

A bit like Politically Correctness? From your recent posts in the 370 forum I reckon you believe in.........."Mod"

I couldn't agree less! The point about being atheist is not believing in something because there is no proof for, or logic to, it. Agnosticism is simply intellectual equivocation.

I think of myself as an anti-theist. Religion has been an all too convenient excuse throughout history to keep people down, especially women and has caused countless needless deaths. I'm not much keener on people who sit on the fence just in case there is a god.

When I read the title I thought it was going to say....for finally not posting a deliberately argumentative comment

Sorry to see this. I try to stay away from supermarket car parks in the Z but I know it's not always an option. Piece of advice re the repair: my previous 370 was the same colour as yours. I had a small scratch repaired by a local body shop but they failed to get the match right. The bumpers on the white 370 can be tricky to get right so make sure you go to a very reputable place to get it sorted, even if it means a long journey.

Cool. I used to watch it every week (even though it was a bit duff).

I agree and I would add cyclists to that when you're talking about central London. I work on the Strand and the number of times I've seen them put themselves and other people in danger is incredible. As for the div in the video I agree with one of the earlier posts that it looks like he might have thought he could go between the trucks and then realised he couldn't. Muppet. London is just a relatively small place given the number of people living there with small roads for all the forms of transport. Cycles, Bikers, Cars, Buses, Lorries, Vans they are all there trying to share that same 10ft wide bit of road. As much as cyclists want to go for every gap because they think its their prerogative to overtake in traffic, cars do also think on roads where it open up a bit they have to get back past. All that said, having been both in the saddle and in the seat, cyclists are definitely more in number in utterly shocking road use. From ridiculous attempts to undertake (I am turning left at a roundabout at Richmond bridge the other day and a cyclist tried to cut up the inside of me and go straight over instead of just waiting. All they way up to plain ignorance like on Priory Lane in Roehampton where the council went to great lengths and expense to build a cycle lane on the pavement, so taking space away from pedestrians, only for cyclists to completely ignore it and still cycle in the road at 15mph up the hill because they all have their yellow jerseys on with Sky written on them or something thinking they are Tour de France entrants. Totally! Hardly anyone on a cycle uses the numerous cycle lanes around here. I guess they think they don't look manly enough if they do (or if they give an arm signal when turning etc).

Looks like a citreon to me It was. And thanks for all your comments, esp. JetSet Pete whose advice about keeping lights on in the daytime I'm going to start following. Hey where's my credit! Only joking but seriously I have mine on most of the time. It's just a good way of reducing the risk of not being seen.

I also worked in a supermarket in my college days back when price-guns were still used. A pet hate of mine used to be the same small group of people who would hover around the cream cakes like wasps waiting for them to be reduced - the minute the stickers went on the same three or four people would descend like locusts and grab the whole lot leaving no chance for anyone else to get em! They'd have nothing else in their baskets except a huge pile of reduced cream cakes!

I'm similarly OCD about the Z. I trashed our resident parking permit the other day by trying to remove a fly that had got inside the permit holder and died, leaving it visible through the windshield. The fly squished all over the permit. Result = ten quid for a replacement

In my long lost student days (well mid 90s) I did a cleaning job at the local BHS to earn some beer money etc. The shop opened on the dot at 9.30 every day but we still got the same oddballs queuing at the doors from about 9.15. Never could understand that

well it is Note the following is fictional im not a rapist. So for arguments sake lets say 'im down the pub i see a girl and say rather openly i would love to rape her' Or i post on a girl i knows facebook wall ' i would love to rape you' How is that not a threat Interesting question. A threat is an expression of intent but you could probably get into trouble for saying you would like to rape someone if the person reported you and b. the CPS decided that you intended to commit the rape etc. Conviction would be unlikely I expect. "Section 4 Public Order Act - Fear or Provocation of Violence A person is guilty if he either a) uses towards another person threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or b. distributes to another person any writing or sign which is threatening, abusive or insulting and either i) he intends to cause that person to believe that immediate unlawful violence will be used against him or another by any person or to provoke such immediate violence, or ii) it is likely that the person will believe that such violence will be used against him, or it is likely that such violence will be provoked."

No offence mate (!) but you're missing the point. Saying down the pub or online "I would like to hit so and so" is not a threat. Stephen Fry was making a point about people expressing opinions - that's not the same as making threats. As a gay bloke, do you think he would stick up for someone who threatened to kill people for being gay?

Youre probably right, but find me one person who has ever been arrested for threatening to punch someone, I dont think you will be able to. Hell, I know people whose neighbours have repeatedly turned up on their doorstep with baseball bats and the police have said they "cant do anything until something happens" - I had written evidence of a guy that worked for me threatening that he was going to come and kill me a little while back and actually went to the police station and they did absolutely nothing then either, I doubt someone youve never met on the internet is going to get the full force of the law, are they? Because they are dicks? Not being funny but if this really concerns you then try to avoid hearing about whats going on in Syria, Kashmir, Tibet and any number of other places at the moment, some nomark making threats to someone they have never even met, never mind know where they live is not a major issue by any means IMO. Its not nice and it shouldnt happen, but click the "block" button and it stops, I dont honestly see what the big deal is TBH. +1 on the dicks point It doesn't "really concern" me mate. I started the thread because I was really interested in why people think some men felt so angry at a woman for wanting to see a famous woman author on a bank note - it's more that I'm interested in the psychology of the behaviour than this being a particular issue of importance to me. I do see it as more serious than you because I don't think she deserved to be the subject of a hate campaign for doing nothing wrong and I do wonder how many of those people who are saying it's no big deal would feel the same if it was happening to one of their loved ones. My only strong view is that freedom of speech doesn't and shouldn't mean freedom to say (or write) absolultely anything, because that has very serious consequences for innocent people.
