Yeah, if you have an imagination! A 320d??? Personal loan can be the most effective way of doing it. As Digsy says, options can kill it and there are some good deals out there for run out models. Takes some time though....

Have a great Christmas break all, and here's to 2009 starting better than 2008 seems to be ending.

PMSL :lol: Go Nixy, use the tissue box to smash him in the face!! :boxing:

Made me laugh mate!! :lol:

Welcome to the forum Search function and questions should get you all the answers you need

Unless you go for a car that doesn't depreciate as much, or you get a good guaranteed minimum value at the end of the term, you will still pay for what you've used. The other complication with leases on new cars, is you really need gap insurance to cover the finance. As soon as you drive off the forecourt it loses a fortune and unless you have the cash somewhere, if someone hits you, you are still liable to pay the finance. And since second hand cars are worth pence, you'd be up a creak. If you want a good deal, I would suggest getting a secured loan on the car and buy a second hand one. I can put you in touch with someone to help you out if it helps. Especially if you fancy a used XC90.....

I think they'll be putting every last yen into developing their sustainable fuel vehicles and technology. Definitely a shame....

Sounds like a good idea maybe you & me will start a group buy when were due! +1 on that!

Nice one!

Woking!

Welcome to the site Surely we haven't scared you off after one post?!

Fingers crossed motorsport doesn't start disappearing....

Welcome to the club

And since I don't have any dog pics, I'll put one up of the opposite of a dog!

And here's a Gunmetal / carbon / shiny combo, with an Injen induction kit

Yeah, HD camera and this was his first go at an arty video. Visit his website for more lively vids http://www.thewakeplace.com/videos.html

Something my little brother put together from his first thanksgiving trip with his new wife in the US. http://vimeo.com/2538770

The filtration of the air through a standard filter and an induction kit will be approximately the same. The theoretical gains with an induction kit are cooler (more dense) air and / or better flow of air into the plenum (air chamber on top of the cylinders). The argument is that the ECU should keep the the fuel : air ratio the same - if there is more air, then there will be more fuel so a bigger explosion, so more power. The plenum is the air chamber the air flows into before the air goes into the cylinders. The plenum needs to allow good air flow for a reliable performance. An ECU remap is something that hasn't been done too many times here on a N/A application. There are such small gains to be had it is rarely worth it for the money. For the pggyback / new ECU you're looking at £5-600 IIRC, and another £200 odd for a plenum chamber (Kinetix or similar). Gains? Thick end of naff all generally. Sound? Awesome Looks? You choose Hope this helps

+1 Nice work!

Why add 4ft to the length of the car!?!?

I'll be in the Vauxhall area tomorrow Stew, if you're anywhere near there!

What's the penalty for this sort of crime in this country?

I agree with most comments too mate. Like the skirts and rear end (low light really does show up ANY difference in paint shade, especially through a camera!) but I'd need to the see the front end with the rest of the package. Pleased you got it all sorted though.

+1 You also have to ask why the cables have all been cut when there would have been a perfectly good connector on the end of them? And the instruction manual you got with it should tell you what wire does what?

Aahh, like a little trip down memory lane is that....!
