whats wrong with just writing engineer, i only put teacher down, i don't add all the subjects i do or can teach, etc, the only time it would change is if i was a head teacher. i would still put plain teacher even if i was a HOD or SLT.

zed won't be a classic, and if it did it has a long time to wait, yes its a nice car but not a future classic. cult car maybe, as for selling dave i reckon yours must be one of the last remaining garage queens, it will not have a nicer home in its life than the time with you. and sadly the price won't be a true reflection of its actual value due to general prices coming down. who ever buys it will get an almost new example of the car. but please strip it before sale, the exhaust alone will net you a tidy profit, as would the wheels,

you're in the marines now

i don't enjoy the heavy weight fights as much as some of the lighter classes, prince nassem was quiet good to watch, and i really enjoy the boxing in the olympics as its far more technical, and points based. and alot more seems to happen. some of the mexican, cuban and south american boxers are very entertaining.

i love my boxing, used to box years ago, don't mind the odd match on the telly, if i'm honest i've not watched any MMA so can only comment on the boxing. both sports are physically demanding, but just like football the money is spoiling the sport.

both vicar and nun were higher than a teacher on the list i had i think working in media apparently has high premiums. journalists are high up as well

according to that website i can save 8.00 a year by changing my job title to baptist minister. teaching seems t have fairly low risk, suprising as in rough areas i know teachers cars are prime student targets.

why do you think i go tthe jag

its the way things are going

they are about an 80k car new though

works in opera

i'm not disliking the auto at all, i love the jag j gate gear setup. suits the car very well. and the newer ones with the paddle shift make it even better. unless i have a designated track car, i cant; see me going back to manual for an everyday car. i no longer want to kill people in traffic jams, and i must admit it is helped by the fact that the cabin is such a nice place to be in.

did he not think about actually holding on to something

Dblock:- i'm guessing this is regarding an old post about Manual Vs Auto yes i still think i shift faster than an auto. car feels quicker than the zed, but then its supercharged and has 100 bhp more than the zed. i like the auto kick down, just plant the pedal and hold on for dear life. it is slower than i am on that, particular change,i can feel a hesitation between the pedal on the floor and the car dropping a cog. in that relation yes i would have been quicker, yet the jag supercharger makes up for that as it then eats tarmac. like for like driving, its difficult to say, if it were 2 cars identical 1 auto 1 manual and i could drive them back to back on the same track, i reckon i could go round faster in the manual than i could in the auto. this is with auto boxes like the jag and the zed. now if you put me in an auto with something like DSG or PDK in a porshe; and some flappy paddles. i'd say the auto would be quicker. so with regards to the original question i still stand by my initial comment that a manual zed with the right driver will be quicker than an auto. right back to the new jag, if i remember rightly the new jag has a flappy paddle gear box, and as much or as little control as you want. i think you'll really like it, and as soon as you get it go and get a decent exhaust

plato is a good bet, he posts on Piston heads every so often and it can be quiet funny. custard thread is worth a read

i think the newer version combats alot of those issues, i must admit what i'm looking for in a car is different to what i wanted in the zed, i much prefer my jag to the zed; but then i want more comfort, 2 more seats, and an auto box for my ever decreasing knee. there are mods for the older ones that can switch the weight of the steering to give back the feel, you can also retro fit paddle shifts. but it all comes down to what your looking for in a car, as for soul thats very much down to personal opinion, i think the old jag has bundles of soul. i'd rather the jag over a hot hatch. aimed at me or the last poster?
