I've always fancied some contract work north of the border, should be years of it.

Not sure about the black bits, the rear or front lights and the rear wheels look too small, other than that I quite like it

I've got one of these waiting for me at an airport tomorrow, super psyched. I hope it's that colour beautiful. GLWTS

Scotland can use the pound, but if Westminster doesn't go for a currency union, it would be giving up any input on fiscal policy and the ability to be a lender of last resort (think bank bail out). Countries like Ecuador and Panama use the US dollar, but that means they have to run at a surplus and have no control over exchange rates or any ability to print money. Long term it can't work, but short term it could whilst they figure out a plan. However, the interesting question is whether Westminster will actually follow through on it's threat to refuse a currency union. The Euro is a shambles of an idea in itself, how on earth vastly different economies like Germany and Greece can be treated the same is something I've never understood to be at all workable. The alternative of having a Scottish currency is it would be extremely volatile, with no credit history and no one would really know what it was worth and if the people shat their pants and started withdrawing all their pounds out the banks, all hell would break loose. Imagine if your bank rang up and said to you, "We're converting all your life savings to a new currency called the **** please don't withdraw it all in sterling now, try not to worry, it might even be worth more". It'll be extremely interesting to see what happens to currency if Yes wins. I'd guess a currency union, but it's a bit of a gamble to make with everyone's money north of the border.

Place looks a bit shabby for a Zed owner.

This looks like all kinds of fun. Binning it on the ring should be a badge of honour

A zed would have entered the living room rear end first

Does it not trigger the alarm simply because NATS is still armed, due to not using the remote to disable it?

Please don't be a good price...

You sure he had Mrs in the shop? With chat like that he might have just had poor luck on grinder.

Can't think of two better Zeds to share a prize

They look super aggressive, nice. Have you considered colour coding them at all?

With that and the chat about Strictly and Cheryl's return to X Fuctor, I can understand why they've raised the threat level. The guff on TV is enough to make you wonder if the terrorists might actually have a point... Stop The Press!!!!!!! TOWIE star missing since friday morning...... oh hang on he has turned up in Blackpool on a jolly I'll fetch me gun and release the hounds.

Is that for real? Having seen that, I've changed my mind. No one can side with any group who thinks that's an acceptable ad. I can't even decide which bit is the most awful; the condescending "dunnae gamble with oor kids futures!!!" threat, the "och I'm just a normal wee wife having a cup of tea in ma kitchen" tone, or the patronising use of "acting" using eyebows alone. Are you sure it's not subversive a Yes campaign dressed up as BT?

Does this mean someone has to change the light bulb colour in the sign in the office? They'll be furious.

Any particular bits or is this just Salmond style response? Salmond actually done amazing in the debate the other night against Alistair Darling and did have some very good points. If anybody wishes to watch its below. He did do much better in the debate, but the best debater wins a debate, that's not the same as the best idea winning the debate. Any particular bits or is this just Salmond style response? A couple of bits, well most bits, actually all the bits, but hey, that's the beauty of it buddy. Alex Salmond is not the referendum, that's what most in the south don't get, not your fault but if your fed pish by the conservative, unionist press, then by default you are gonna think pish. Think along the lines of a jihadist, fed pish and acts like they are fed pish, not the individual's fault but it's all they know and are fed. Let's just see what happens. If the ramblings of a few right wing bigots that have 'Scotland's interests at heart' and work in Westminster can't debate it and see the writing on the wall, what idiots voted for them. Even if it's a no vote, it won't go away, change is scary for most but you gotta roll with it I didn't mention Salmond in my post, I realise he is not the issue, it's much bigger. As you've brought him up though despite his Standard Grade Body Language Studies forcing him to step out from behind the lectern to "engage", his dismissive attitude and talking over people on subjects that don't suit his agenda, fairly reeks of a man whose priority is a separate state, not a better economy. Lets face it, you can have all the national identity you want, but it doesn't provide job or hospitals or schools. As for the jihadist perspective, not everyone in England laps up the government's right wing rubbish, just because it's on TV or being pedalled by Murdoch publications. I don't think they have even got England's best interests at heart, let alone Scotland's, they're in it to make money for the ruling classes - simple as. Anyone who wants power, is precisely the wrong person for the job. If having Scotland in the UK helps keep at least some of those people in check, all the better for England. Equally, that doesn't mean everything they say is a lie. Particularly around currency, national debt and the huge dependency on future Scotland (say 50 years away) being based on a finite resource as it's main source of income. I'm not against change, but change for a reason, not change for change's sake. At the minute, Scotland has some proper policies we can only wish for in England, like free prescriptions and higher education. If I was voting, I'd be thinking about what else could be improved for the people via the Scottish Parliament, whilst retaining the benefits of being part of a larger, more diverse economy. Not being a brand new, unknown economic quantity, in an enormous global financial market.

Any particular bits or is this just Salmond style response?

I'm an Englishman who lived in Scotland for around 5 years, I've got great memories of my time north of the border and I'd be sad to see Scotland break away. For purely selfish reasons, it also means the English are stuck with a Tory government for the rest of time, which is a disaster. More objectively speaking, I can't recall one sensible reason I've heard from the Yes nutters that Yes is actually going to be beneficial to Scotland. It's all been chest beating, Braveheart gibberish sprinkled with some chat about how oil is going to last forever and make everyone millionaires. That ship sailed in the 80s, it's too late to try and be Norway. I can't for the life of me figure out how the cost of swapping currency and migrating all of the state infrastructure is going to be recovered, let alone paid for and then a profit made on top for the people to benefit from. It'll cost millions just to change the government letterheads!!!! On the other hand, having had my fair share of stick for having had the audacity to be born 70 miles south of Scotland, I know I don't want to hear any more anti-English guff ever again if Scotland opts to stay in I just hope Scottish people vote with their head and not out of some sort of sense of historical injustice.

Sold. Mods please lockdown. Ta.

I've not done a test but I'd wager on such a beast of engine it barely notice if the AC is on. You could do an unscientific test on miles between fill ups, a couple on and a couple off?

Will do mate. You can't have too much NISMO, this bit is genuine too

provisionally sold

SOLD mods please lock down

I fell in love with Switzerland, thanks for sharing these and the memory refresh, looks like a tremendous trip
