    the club never really has, not since i started at least.
  5. don't really get hang overs, few times felt abit rough in the morning but a fry up has fixed it. the onyl time i've had a full on hangover; and i knew it was bad because i couldn't face food in the morning; and this was my stag do! My mates had a mission on their hands to get me absolutly tw@ted i lost track by about 2am but i knew i'd had the local scrumpy at 14% several top shelves amoung other stuff. vaguly remember a lift home where 12 of us crammed into someones people carrier. apparently my dad sat in the boot with it open holding me round the waist with my feet dragging on the floor as the car drove back. got up in the moring feeling like death, one wiff of food and threw up on the spot. i went back to bed stayed there till 7pm then had to drive back home to my wife, the 1 hour drive took 2 hours as i did 40 mph down the A12 didn;t eat for 3 days felt grim for a week. it was after this that i remembered i wasn;t at uni any more and can;t drink as much as when i was playing rugby.
  6. flood damaged cars are usually a right off, most i think can only be used for spare parts, they can;t be returned to the road. could be wrong but i think it gets registered as a cat B or might be a C
  7. yes you could spray them, but on such expensive wheels i'd want to maintain the original wheel centres otherwise whats to distinguish them from something like rota's. if it were me i'd be looking to buy a new set of centres. or possibly paint them and i can cut you a new logo to go on them once painted.
  8. pop up a picture of the centre caps they can be sprayed or possibly wrapped.
  9. I'm don't think australia is doing that badly? being he's an ozzie why should he have to give his money away? thats an investment to make more money not just to burn? if i told you to go donante half your savings to charity, most people would tell me to jog on
  10. i think mine were ebay ones, but the fit was bad, had to cut the bit that goes down the back of the light off so they wouldn't catch on the bonnet, this meant they had to be bonded on to the lights. tarmac is probably your best bet.
  11. I did it on mine many moons ago
  12. quote="Advert"]Stunning car. Professionally Turbocharged in November 2006 by 'mx5mad' including upgraded ECU, Injectors, Intercooler, Radiator, clutch and exhaust system at a cost of £6640. I wish HR Z FI kits were that cheap! i loved the MR2 roadster for this reason too. £2.5k
  13. my wifes grandad had one; we nicknamed it the orofice
  14. i think tarmac might be able to source some or there were those rota wheels that looked very similiar, and i can sort you out appropriate decals for them if you so wanted to add them.
  15. top job
  16. XKR ? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p personally i like the look of the cerbera but someone beat me to suggesting it.
  17. a nice bronze or gold finish
  18. i'd have the XKRS myself depreciation isn't quiet as horrific, service costs outside of jaguar aren't bad. and the service schedule is better. think its 12 months or 10k
  19. you'll need to find out a price for these when you bought them new, both an individual price and a set of 4 price. as i said they can be refurbed but probably not to original spec, but a new painted finish. I think they are only obliged to follow compensation to whats known as a reasonable standard. but this is down to interpretation and the company ethos that you deal with. this could be anything from the cost of 1 wheel or its refurbishment, to the cost of a new set of wheels to the same value.
  20. they are repairable chrome does not mean ireapareable. they can;t be re chromed as you would need to fill and sand the damaged area. as far as i'm aware they won;t work in the chrome plating process. but this doesn;t mean that the wheels can;t be repainted. all4 would need doing. but they could easily be painted. I do know of a 3 stage process for spraying chrome on to anything, but i've not tried it. but the finish by the american company is mirror clear.
  21. thats great news, as for diesels, the bmw diesels are some of the best what about an LPG converted V8? get something like an audi A8 and convert to LPG ?
