  1. looks like some one knocked the wheels and popped dustbins in each corner Looks gash
  2. your drivatar squeezes down small side gaps, and comes from no where.
  3. if I earn 50% more then I'd pay 50% more. Not a problem its just a case of using a bit of maths. We earn roughly the same, but when my wife was on maternity leave, as her income decreased, what I paid onto the pot increased. Rule in our house is fairness.
  4. Finally got this, really enjoying it, only completed the first 5 races in career, but fodder avatar is violent, and ekona is sneaky.
  5. Each have our own accounts, we have a bills and mortgage account that all the bills and mortgage come out. We split it right down the middle and pay in equally. We take it in turns to do the food shopping. If we go away we split it, but in an odd way, if its to do with her friends, I drive, she pays for accommodation ad I buy the meals out. If its with my friends, she drives, I buy the accommodation and she buys the food. If its a big holiday we split it down the middle. She buys all presents for her side of the family I buy for my side We choose the kids presents together and split down the middle I wouldn't want full joint account as I'm worried about accidentally spending her money. Once the bills are paid what's left is like my monthly spending money. If you added my Wife's wages, I'd just spend more. I am sensible enough that I set up monthly payments to multiple savings accounts s well, so I am also saving as well.
  6. Any monkey can MOT a zed, its just a car, has 4 wheels and an engine, no need for specialists, just find the cheapest MOT around.
  7. If you have them and fit a new stereo there are wiring harnesses that can be bought to use the controls with the harness. But if they were never there to start with I have no clue how much of the wiring is already in the cars harness or if you need a new car harness modding
  8. if you spray with it make sure its one with a moisture trap on it. You don't want to be mixing oil and water in with your paint.
  9. Been told by Abbey that Dixon has closed down. didn't know that, real shame as Dixon was a top bloke
  10. Dixon motorsport are very highly regarded in Erith, not far from you.
  11. Or the dipsticks who put fog lights on when its not foggy. I'm kind of glad that I'm high up in my new car, no longer have headlights at eye level. I am now the got whos headlights are at everyone else eye level
  12. they do an incredibly hard job, and sometimes with little gratitude. I have several mates who I'm glad to see have made it through safely. And my thoughts are with those families who's relatives will never return.
  13. people make snap judgments as soon as the name came out you could almost here 200 voices in sync go.....sod that! only takes a wiff of bad news and people stay clear.
  14. shhhh everyone....if you listen very quietly you can hear the sound of a hundred forum pencils all crossing that garages name off their places to visit list.
  15. Good luck With your licence as well as the car hunt,
  16. Is it a Ferrari master mechanic? At that price I'd hope it was Colin Chapman reincarnate working on my car
  17. ESR was the one and only place to go if you had a zed, he was like tarmac Sportz but with mechanics, back when zed owners bought proper mods and spent serious cash on even the basics like exhausts. He was also a huge part of the forum. Loads f knowledge and help. When he fell ill the void was so big it took the likes of 4 companies to try and fill the gap. Full on Aladdins cave.
  18. There business or it might have been ICT centre thought the internet was only ever going to be a fad goes to show its important to pick the right degree at the right uni. Warwick was an offsite campus looked abit isolated, good ink but didn't look like a lot to do out there. Lived in cove and 10 min walk from the centre as a student it was a hoot of a place to go out in.
  19. My mate had a similar issue, client would pay the price of the job, she asked for a new bill removing something like £30 she felt wasn't needed. So he re billed her for the extra £60 of work he did for free on top with the £30 off. Funnily enough she paid the original bill.
  20. I did engineering design & Technology there. And got a 2:1 jag send there engineers there. Went to a guest talk from the chief designer of THRUST SSC. Pug and ford also send engineers there.
  21. Same here! Cov locals are a bit special, but I quiet liked the city, its changed massively even since I went, jaguar have been using the ring roads a test track for years. And the entry/exit junctions are a perfect demo of the chaos theory. Would love the chance to race on the ring road
  22. The nismo intake is just a re branded AEM system from memory
  23. I really like the A5 if I didn't need re storage apace of an RAF C130 transporter I'd love something German. But like you I have found the benefits in the new car For me with my jumbo tank 4x4 I had great fun when it heaved it down ploughing through the big puddles where others had to creep through. I'm looking forward to cold weather and snow. Now I'm in the xc90 I'm hoping for the next ice age. Enjoy the positives and like me, just remember its only a phase and when you don't need it You can go back to the sports cars
