Seem a great car for the money, Good luck with the sale

We keep getting phone calls wanting us to recycle our windows and doors, even after I politely tell them its a new build they still ask how old it is and if I would like my guttering updated whilst there doing the doors and windows. If I wanted new doors and windows i'd go looking for them!

Good effort! I was raging at birds last week sh*tting over my car one day after I spent an hour washing it, if it happened after spending the time you did I think I'd be suicidal

Good find! wish I could get a find like that. I fancy having a play with wrapping/painting some interior stuff but would prefer to do it on spares so I can still use the car while I mess around

He'll end up like ghost rider if he keeps that up

He can usually get you anything you need for a good price. I just got a window motor off him and fitted it a week or two ago

Done this the other day aswell, Was worth the £25 for the line

First wash since I did the lights and wheels. Just a few more mods to do then i'll be finished, just need to wait till after the wedding to do anymore. Rain came on almost as soon as I finished!

I agree It was a long time ago and statistics point towards the youth being the problem, but statistics are only of the people who were caught. Yes there is defiantly a lot more younger people who get legless and think its a great idea to go for a joy ride(usually having an accident or somehow drawing attention to themselves) but its also just as easy to be over the limit and still look and drive normal. Generally people over 30ish won't get pulled randomly by the police for a "spot check" as they have no reason to usually, insured, taxed, driving sensible, look fine so the few glasses of wine they had with their dinner or quick pint or two after the golf or work don't matter as there is no reason for them to be pulled to get found out. Where as youths in chaved up cars will get pulled quite often for a check which then the beer they had with their dinner can be smelled from there breath and they'll get done. I'm not saying i'm right your wrong, just that drink driving (don't mean being legless just being over the limit) goes on a lot with older people totally unintentionally and will keep doing so as they are less likely to be caught and don't see it as dangerous as they aren't actually drunk. Good on you for still driving fast cars and not luxury barges at your age, I sometimes struggle getting in and out the 350z at 24!

Yeh your age must be helping! Cheapest I've found so far is £260 with MCE(not the policies with £1k excess) so almost£600 better than last year. Just a few companies to phone up but think that will be hard to beat. and must remember to tell ebike not to renew it automatically

My biggest gripe about them is their reaction times. 17-30 may be a bit wreckless but its all part of the learning curve that is driving at least they can react when they make a mistake. Yes they are less likely to be on the phone but the drink driving is much different, they are from a generation where you could be hammered and all the police would do is tell them to get home(herd plenty of wild stories from older guys when this topic comes up at work). As the years have went on its became a more serious thing but most still have the mindset that a few pints doesn't make any difference or if they feel fine they are fine.

Just knew it would be an OAP when I seen the micra. should have to retake your driving test every 5 years when you get your bus pass, would save a shed load of accidents and near misses.

Did you ever check what was needed with the exhaust?

I get the enter button not working on here quite often

Nice one, I though I recognised the splitter! I did the same mod to my mgzr, like the look of it though so could be a future mod again. How did you find getting it to match the curve of the 350z bumper?

Wish I was that cheap! last year I found a bike, did quotes (£630 was the best I could get), went to see the bike the next day, paid deposit to the guy, went to get the insurance sorted and the cheapest I could get was £840. I was raging, phoned them up with the quote ref no for the £630 quote and got told there system updated/ some other guff and that it was £840 or nothing. so had to bite the bullet. was worth it but glad its came down a good bit this year. I'll give you's a phone over the next few days and get a quote, worth a try

Will need to remember you's do this for renewal time

Wicked quotes wanted £1k ontop of my renewal price! its hard getting cheap insurance on a modified bike with so little experience. Bennets have been the cheapest so far, not including MCE with there policy of silly excess of over a grand. Seen that with a few car quotes aswell recently must be the new thing the companies are doing to get you in cheap then raping you on excess to the point its not worth having the insurance. No wonder so many people don't bother with insurance or a licence, the money they save on not buying it or lessons for a few years more than pays for any fines they will get.

will try wicked quotes Yeh I've found go compare to be the cheapest of the comparison sites aswell, they've managed to knock £150 off my renewal which was already a lot less than last year, that means its more than halved in 1 year! just looking to see if any of the forum insurers could save me a little extra.

Any of you companies on the forum do bike insurance? mines is due this month so on the hunt. Cheers

zx6r J1 (silver and black) only passed last year so does as a first bike. Barely been out on it though due to the good scottish weather

The mrs likes the vxrs but after having a total nightmare with her first car(corsa) don't think we will be going down the Vauxhall route again anytime soon, just need to keep looking

didn't get it, needs new disks and pads soon of the front, belts are squeeling like mad, and one front tyre has a slit in the sidewall, oil filler cap was full of emulsified oil and dip stick was stuck solid and took a lot of force to get out. salesman turned from sound guy to bit of a knob when all this was pointed out, especially when I said It would need to be two new tyres as its poor practice to have different tyres on the same axle. being honest wasn't bothered about the brakes really as there not too expensive and a doddle to change but belts looked a nightmare to get into. had he change the belts and tyres he'd probably have been quids in. His loss

Been to see loads of these the past week, all apart from two had rust at the rear arch and the rest were all in pretty poor nick apart from this one http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201244491132783/sort/default/usedcars/price-from/4000/price-to/8000/maximum-age/up_to_7_years_old/model/focus/make/ford/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/radius/30/page/1/postcode/fk29tl/keywords/st?logcode=p So going to phone up today and arrange a test drive for the weekend, overall seem pretty reliable cars so just need to see if it feels ok and if the mrs likes driving it. Shes not been to keen on my type r or 350 as there heavy on the pedals and steering, but she liked her dads normal focus so should be fine
