I always would, but seems some poor too trustworthy for their own good will believe his spiel. He is obviously a trader, you dont advertise 14 cars a week as a hobby so surely he has to advertise as trade, offer warranties etc

Very happy with my import, the only thing i specifically wanted was Brembos that come std on UK cars, but even then if the price is right you can pick up a set for £500 ish. I am not at all fussed about leather (although some jdms come with leather) and dont really miss cruise control as i spend little time cruising motorways. Autos will be cheaper, you may need to stretch your budget a bit if you want a clean one though

I am looking for a bigger work vehicle but its also got to double as a weekend away van so thought i would go down the Mazda Bongo route. Been looking for a while in the usual places and noticed a guy on ebay who lists 2 every day on a one day auction only, always ending at 1.20 ish in the am, allegedly to make way for fresh stock from Japan, but they are all pre owned, using a few different ebay accounts, it didnt really add up but if thats the way the guy makes his living its no business of mine. I went to view one at the weekend local ish to me, it was a shed, oil and water leak, sill stoved in, rusty arches (all common problems) Its probably no surprise to hear its up as one of his on his usual one day auction, but the description is quite the opposite of what i found. i just hate to think someone will be caught out with a dog of a van.

I personally think the odd thing about it is that its simply vanished and by that i mean, no one knows where it crashed/went/why it changed course/no word from the flight deck etc

women & men seem to come to different conclusions Women seem to think its a nice happy romantic story whereas most men seem to come to the same conclusion as I did but its interesting how men/women get a different message/opinion from it. The story of life

Not to cherry pick, but it would be a tricky if the i8 wasnt near twice the price of the M3 and pulled the kind of mpg it claimed, but whilst ever it is and doesnt do anything near remotely what it says on the tin, why would anyone buy one, apart from the looks? Until the price levels out and battery pack tech gets infinitely better i just dont see the benefit and if someone actually comes up with a decent solution to the hydrogen issues, battery power will be a thing of the past!

They dont care who they p*ss off do they Probably a good thing though, the more countries citizens they carry out these vile acts on, the more sticks they will get hit with Makes you think just how insane they are though, thinking they can "change" pretty much the whole world

AMG GT was suprisingly quick round the track i thought.
-
I thought that was a really good episode, few good cars and reviews ish, stars in cars were entertaining and a few laughs too 31mpg out of the i8 though is utterly shocking, however much hybrids might be the future, they arent even close imho.

Well, there is a big blob of land that is under their control so at his point it is basically a de-facto state. The point that I am trying to make is that this country does not have a choice but to allow them live amongst us. Imran Khawaja is a British citizen and a known troublemaker. No other country will let him in. You can only lawfully deport foreign citizens to their own countries. UK doesn't have Australia to sent criminals to anymore, remember? The fact that Khawaja has a British passport makes him a British problem. If that is the case, hang him for treason then, even better

1. What islamic country apart from ISIS do you think will be happy to accept those kinds of people? 2. Do you think it serves the interests of this country to have more hate-preachers on the loose? Quite frankly i dont care about other countries, its obvious they have save havens in other countries where their religion is more relevant, what i do care about though is THIS country and i think to allow people like that to live amongst us is just ludicrous, as do many others it would seem. It will all change if one of these jihadists on a mission actually wounds/kills someone important (politician/royal family etc), then you will see action and swift action.

This is where i think the "joke" is, in reality, i dont think any of these british born hate preachers would actually give up their nice warm homes, hot and cold running water where they can sleep soundly in their beds, 3 square meals or more and every aspect of freedom they are entitled to in this country, let alone the possible hand outs they get to go and live in one of these violent 3rd world countries where they would have absolutely none of this! They can go and preach their hate and recruit in these countries as much as they like for all i care, with any luck they would probably get taken out in a drone attack, all for the cost of an air flight. So the question is, if there was a punishment to suit the crime, i.e deported to an islamic state of their choice, how many would still preach hate at the very country they reside in? Their not stupid, far from it, we let them get away with it so thats why they do it.

No, just a country where his beliefs are upheld and one he doesnt despise. If I hated Britain that much, I wouldnt live here, its pretty simple

It is the place to be, "apparently" If your 18 and like vomiting and fighting and everything else that goes with it Not really right in a residential area if you ask me, glad to have moved a bit down the road, Friday/Saturday nights were interesting with the windows open in the summer at kick out time.

Although i live in a relatively large town, it has its little suburbs so to speak, the village shops at the end of my road consisted of the usual, 4 banks, hairdresser, butchers, tea room, estate agent or two etc It now consists of one bank, 4 hairdressers, 2 beauty saloons, numerous charity shops, 5 estate agents, 3 bakers etc but more alarmingly, what was 6 pubs in a quarter of a square mile radius is now, 16 pubs and wine bars all open till 2am!!!

Care to elaborate

Saw an indicated 180 when i had a bike (abroad), its quite something how a corner in the distance, suddenly isnt in the distance

You cant transfer it, you inform dvla the car is sold and give them the new owners details as before and your dd is automatically cancelled.

I remember when the book came out and a few normal girls (loosely used) i knew had read it and found it quite erotic, without being condescending, they kind of missed the point as it was exactly as your describe. They all liked the idea of a light bit of s&m, but they kind of skipped over the bit about being stalked, dominated and then having a master. However, there are obviously women that like that and guys also to be fair, its probably down to some deep rooted issue from their childhood. Power, not just money, is a mysterious thing, it does strange things to some women

From memory that BMW stopped in 60 feet from 60mph, according to the highway code its 240 feet from 60 and a extra 75ft from 70mph. So that leaves someone 180 feet to react, if you havent reacted in 180 feet, your most likely asleep and or dead or so bad at driving you shouldnt be near a road or those speeds anyway Its nothing to do with reaction time etc, its because we still have the likes of Ford Anglias on the road that will take 240 feet to stop from 60! I am probably with the majority, "speeding" has a time and a place, of course its not 60 outside a school, but on a quiet motorway, "a" road (national speed limit) doing 100mph is perfectly safe providing everyone else around you knows you might be doing those speeds (autobahn). I have never been keen on the whole, tar everyone with the same brush attitude, i.e because a % of drivers are incompetent we make allowances for them. How about staggered speed limits, so rush hour its 70 or less, whatever the traffic dictates (cctv), but say 9pm/10pm (or later) to 6am providing the conditions are good, not throwing it down/fog/mist/snow etc the speed limit is 100 for example. The motorists know other vehicles might be travelling at those speeds and i think you would probably find roads less congested as some motorists would choose to make their journeys at night (if possible) etc

Got that , but 12mm wont make too much difference, got plenty of clearance on mine and 265 will be silly stretch on a 11j imho
