  1. Finished with tradesmen,now meat...what next? Sorry couldn't resist
  2. I am pretty sure these are the US side skirts on my car
  3. Agreed every professional is plagued with updating qualifications,insurances etc. And I also agree that £300 for a chippy is expensive (I dont charge anywhere near that). What I was saying really is that we are not all out to rip people off.
  4. Hello mate and welcome. The car looks great!!
  5. If someone gives you a qoute to do a job and you except then thats the price you pay regardless. Would the OP have paid him more if he had taken 3 days?.Hell no!! Both parties are taking a risk with a qoute.
  6. Makes me f#cking mad when I see comments about so called rip off tradesmen. I am a self employed plumber,heating intaller and Gas Registered intaller. Every five years i have to undertake training and assessments at my cost to carrying out gas work.So thats a week not earning money but shelling out. I pay to register with Gas Safe anually I pay public liability insurance. I did 5 years apprentiship on crap money. I pay an accountant to do my books. I have a van full of expensive tools some of which need replacing on a regular basis. I go and survey jobs which I may never get at no cost to the prospective client. I come to you to do my work. I am sorry if some of think I dont deserve to make a decent livng. There is a difference between me and some site monkey who does a bit of work on the side. Dont tar us all with the same brush!! While I am having a rant I have seen another thread on this forum where members were encouraging others to fit their own boilers including gas work "after all its only plumbing" Totally bloody irresponsible!! Would you be happy if your neighbour carried out his own gas work? I have only read the first two pages of this thread so this post may not be in context to comments made recently.

    car cover

    I have a tailored fit cover which I was given with the car and I think it may be a Nissan one. It has a Z on the front. I have not noticed any swirl marks or scratches caused by it's use and it is certainly better than having all the dust, bird crap and other environmental fallout over it.

    Wide load

    Unless you are tracking your car on a regular basis (even then you are not actually involved in racing) how much difference does it really make in the real world. Of course some of you will be using the public roads like your personal race track but even then.....what difference does it make???? If you dont like the way your car feels with spacers,ditch them! If your think your car feels ok with them why be swayed by others opinions just cuz they think you shouldn't have them? I've got them.The car looks better with them and I havent noticed a massive difference,but then I'm not Lewis Hamilton. It's your car,do what the hell you like with it. This is not aimed at the OP or anyone else in particular.Just thought I'd have a
  16. It's a shame Pearce wasn't as accurate when taking penalties for England!!
  17. We all know its an absolute joke because its based on emissions. I do approx 3000miles a year in my weekend car which obviously is the zed at the mo, where as my missus does 10000miles a year in her 2litre turbo diesel and pays £135 tax for the year. So which one of us is producing the most emissions??? Doesnt stack up does it?
