  1. It was obviously said tongue in cheek (it seems you dont like to read between the lines) but If broadening my intellectual horizons (just to flatter you) means becoming a bigot rather than a realist i will stay as i am thanks Acts of actual racism deserve the full extend of the law by the way, i am in no way a racist, but it seems the difference is, i can see the wood for the trees as it seems the majority commenting does, but i am sick to death of the minority voice over shadowing the majority in this country!
  2. Casual rascism, is this a new term for trying to play the race card, trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill, clutching at straws that you get a chance to wave your flag and make a big noise about nothing? The word was used within a rhyme (even mumbled), it was not used within a sentence expressing any form of hate towards anyone particular, there was no conviction in his voice. If the 2 of you seriously believe uttering the word nigger is casual racism you need to address your understanding and views as you are doing racism no favours by holding onto such believes and going on witch hunts and crusades for the mere use of the word. At best you are evoking more racial hatred and diversity between skin colours and at worst, as said before, are racist to the extreme by baying from the rooftops for peoples heads, particularly when they are white
  3. I was out the other week at a hawk conservatory, obviously there were quite a few families, there was one particular kid, guessing a similar age, he had on a pair of black trousers, red velvet dinner jacket, shirt and red bow tie and smart shoes, every other kid, jeans, t shirt and trainers. One look at his parents and you knew he hadnt choosen his attire, typical new age tree huggers! Personally i felt sorry for the little fella, other kids looked at him strangely and you could tell he wasnt quite down with other kids! Its one sure way of giving your child some kind of stigma, parents to blame in both cases imho!
  4. I know a few get good prices from them, but they have never got close to other quotes for me
  5. Personally i would say forget about what "price" you should pay and just buy the best car on your budget. In reality most cars will be have an average figure for the particular year, some will be a bit under, some a bit over and most likely there is a reason for that either way. Work out what suits you best, a newer model/year that is in average condition, higher miles etc or a older car with lower miles etc but in excellent condition. As others have said, there is or should be no difference with insurance, just there are less companies willing to quote sensibly for imports, you need to contact specialist insurers (traders on here) to get the best price on either.
  6. Pain to fit why buddy, poor quality or just in lining it up etc?
  7. Yet if your trying to rebuild your credit score paying regular dd on a phone contracts it doesnt make any difference in the positive, nor does paying insurance via monthly payments via a credit agency! But miss a payment, that sure as hell impacts!
  8. Sold, please lock, apologies to interested parties.
  9. Anyone on here work within this field, commercial insurance? Please pm me if you do, many thanks
  10. I think tracks are great when it rains, you learn so much about the cars characteristics and it gives you a great chance to explore the limits of grip in relative safety
  11. That comment fills me fear
  12. T350 or Sagaris for me A mate has a Griffith, sounds and looks awesome, but, its a dog to drive, no pas and such a heavy clutch!
  13. Great to see some lovely cars being driven and enjoyed I dont like open pit lanes as the temptation to stay out is too great, 20 min sessions in a road car is perfect, plenty of time for the car too cool down and time to reflect, take break and for you to cool down too.
  14. How long is a piece of string? You have worked out and got answers to general running costs, mpg, servicing, tyres etc Just factor into the equation could you afford to do a clutch for example? Not trying to put you off but make you aware of something that could easily wear out and not a cheap fix
  15. Still available
  16. About 2.00 ish today, just pulling out from the Moors Valley road and turning off towards Ringwood
  17. Thought we might be in for a belting race today, all the 4 aliens on a very similar pace in qualifying and practice, just looked like MM found something a little extra. Still, 4 poles, 4 wins, its looking ominous. Whats happened to Lorenzo, mystifying!
  18. The initial complaint was from an Asian Woman. Asian isnt black Careful, pooling anyone who isnt white into one category could brand you racist
  19. Doesn't matter, everyone is entitled to be offended by anything, what we are questioning is a word deemed to be racist but not it would seem by everyone. Personally i think it matters a huge amount, if the very people that the word was intended to offend, arent offended, anyone else is getting bent out of shape for nothing! No one is debating its not a racist slur, it is, but you even say yourself, its in the context ! And your right, everyone is entitled to be offended by anything, but as Stevo D quotes Stephen Fry, its nothing more than a whine these days, especially when you are not the subject of the offending comment!!
  20. So, is Chubster black or white, if he is white, why is he offended when black people are not, i.e the initial complaint was from a white person?

    New Boots

    They have arrived Strip down this weekend, get chrome removed, painted and something a bit different with the lips
  23. Sadly and rather ironically I personally feel Chubster is the biggest racist on this thread! Actively enticing racial hatred for what, a recital of a rhyme by which all account the word was mumbled, probably knowing full well someone like Chubster would play out the magic race card! He hasnt said, i f ing hate niggers ffs, or burned poppies on remembrance day, so stop looking for something that isnt there to fuel your hate of the man and bolster your own racism, focus on actual race crimes, not a softly spoken word contained within a bunch of other non offensive words. I also seem to remember Clarkson giving his car from the usa series to a black family, what have you done to help people of a natural disaster, white or black?
