Any boot that needs glue to fit it would concern me

I've never liked those

I know its preference and who cares what others think but I don't like those at all. Tell me to sod off...

Is that a black Capri in the background?

IF (and its a big if) its a GT4, then its not on 07. either way the add is misleading

I am trying to shift some bits I have on local selling sites on facebook. Nothing but dreamers and messers - I hate it!

I believe the 370 has less sound deadening in the rear for weight loss but this increases road/tyre noise

They are rare, but not that rare. They were a factory option when purchasing a car new, but at something like 3 grand, not everyone chose them. I had them on my Zed and they looked nice.

Coffin Dodger, you sure you can't be tempted to sell the STI?

Does anyone have or used a Garage Vac? I am tempted by these if they are good.

Hmmm, I don't doubt that winter tyres are better in poor conditions but manufacturer adds appear to make you invincible when using them. When the Lexus failed the corner test you could see the drive lit up the inside tyre and it pushed wide. A heavy foot would have done the same with a winter tyre too. I may be completely wrong but both tests looked somewhat manipulated to gain the results that summer tyres should not be used in snow

Horriffic

I thought the same thing actually

I bought my Zed when my little one was two. I also bought a £250 micra so I didn't have to leave the zed in the train station carpark. I figured it would be a weekend toy or use on date nights (with the wife!). With a 2 year old, date nights rarely happened and if we did go somewhere I often wouldn't use the zed as pub or restaurant carparks were not somewhere I wanted to leave it. Alas after a year I realised doing 1000 miles a year in it was a waste so I bit the bullet and sold it. You may well find you are in the same position shortly as time really is at a premium when baby's come along. Good luck with everything

Bombers are heavy and very stiff as they are for dirt jumps. If its for road riding they may be ok as roads don't (well, shouldn't) have bumps, roots etc, but for cross country, you might not find them very comfortable.

I'm guessing the forks are worth five times the value of the bike

Was going to say this, get some 1200 grit paper and rub the run out of it

So, in theory they were right then

It may have had something to do with how the car dries. By blasting a car with a jet of water it will dry covered in watermarks, by sheeting it off the paint should be left with less water dots over it. Or I may be remembering it wrong. Either way, most of us are unlikely not to dry our cars anyway.

I heard that after foam you shouldn't jet wash it off. What's better is an open hose with no nozzle at all and gently sheet it off and this will affect the next stage in the cleaning process. Think I heard that from the Meguiars team on our training day.

ten to two Dan!

Eerrrrr, no. That does not reflect what they are worth. That's an idiot dealer looking for morons who don't know what they are looking at.

Crumbs, well over £30k!

Have you tried a post similar to this on pistonheads - the car seems to have one of their stickers on the boot. Failing that, go see it and ask to get through the paperwork and the V5 should have the last owners details. Try getting in touch with them and ask for some history and why they got shot of it. I did that when buying my Zed and found the last owner sold it on knowing the clutch had started to slip ad I needed discs all round

It's just an older model that didn't sell for a while and sat in a lot waiting for a buyer. It would then have been registered at point of sale. There are quite a few of the older models knocking around on 08 and 09 plates.
