  1. I used to own "9 of" in Ultra Yellow. I sold it to an import Company who sent it to France earlier this year.
  2. Sorry to hear about your accident. To put a positive spin on things, I've crashed 2 cars (one ten years ago when I was 18, the other 5 years ago) and while it does take you a while to get your confidence back I think it's actually made me a better driver. The first obvious point is you're more careful in bad conditions. The second is that now you've experienced losing the back end you will be able to deal with it better if it ever happens again. A few months back I was driving my friends MX5, going -60mph on an A road and a young driver pulled out of a junction (turning right) in front of me. He saw me, panicked and braked - this was the worst thing he could have done as if he kept going I could have swerved on his inside but he left me no option but to swerve on the grass verge on the outside. As soon I passed him I swung the car back to the left, 360 in the middle of the road and ended up stopped with no damage to the car. Now I believe if I hadn't had the experience of a crash or two under my belt I would have panicked and ploughed straight into him. Of course this could have just been luck, but I believe when you've been beyond the limit of any car you understand how to deal with it in future.
  3. Heh nice. The main thing is preparing the windscreen properly first. Give it a good deep clean before using the polish. I would highly recommend using super fine (0000) steel / wire wool. It may sound odd rubbing your windscreen with this but trust me it won't scratch and it really gets all the marks off.
  4. Under the Sale of Goods Act and Sale and Supply of Goods to Consumer Regulations Refunds If a car is defective, unsafe or otherwise doesn't conform to its description, the Sale of Goods Act and the Sale and Supply of Goods to Consumers Regulations (SOGA/SSGCR) give you rights across Europe to a refund, particularly if the fault occurs soon after buying, but also if there are problems a bit later on and there are unreasonable delays in getting the vehicle repaired or replaced. It's still best to complain about problems as soon as possible. Repair and replacement When you buy a defective car, repairs must not cause you significant inconvenience and the seller must bear all the costs. You can require the seller to reduce the purchase price if repairs or other remedies are unrealistic in a reasonable period of time. Note that if you buy through an auction that you have – or could have – attended in person, your rights to refunds, repairs and replacements are more limited. These limitations don't apply to internet and telephone auctions. Warranties and guarantees After any warranty or guarantee period, or after six months, you might have to prove that any defect existed before you purchased. Guarantees are transferable to subsequent buyers. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
  5. I was under the impression that garages had to offer a 3 month warranty by law. Perhaps someone more in the know could confirm this. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
  6. Ok I think I might get myself a pair of these!
  7. If you're looking to sell any Android phones in the future TBBK then send me a PM. I'll match the best price you're offered on comparison sites
  8. I'm an Oakley fan boy, their lenses are very good and don't just make things darker like cheaper ones do.
  9. As above, if you have access to a car jack and a lug wrench then you're sorted.
  10. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will offer technical advice. I think they are cosmetic, but also let you fit different alloy/tyre combinations. If you put up what version you have, your tyre sizes and alloys then others can advise on your options.

  12. Holy s*it! Stop boasting about all your mods
  13. Yep, used to do this to most of my passengers. Watch them squirm in their seat wondering why their ass is hot. A rather grotesque friend of mine didn't say anything for half an hour, just looked a bit uncomfortable. When I confessed to turning on his heated seat he said" ah thank f*ck, I thought I'd s*at myself"
  14. It's funny because I'm one of these pr*cks!
