Those Aluminium vent trims were utter dog @*!#! The metal wouldn't stay curved in line with the dash and the glue wasn't strong enough to hold down a gnat's pube, which mean't they kept pinging off leaving vile glue residue And they were about £50 a set back in 2005

Exactly! I looked at diesel motors when I had the Lambo, but I knew in my heart of hearts that I would never ever get in the sootchucker ahead of the G!! The saving is negligible, if at all in my opinion...............especially at only 84 miles a day, thats not that bad really.....

Exactly. This is why i struggle to see the benefit. The only benefit I can see is that, for example, someone who has a budget of say £300 a month could afford a £10k loan to purchase a car outright. But via a lease agreement they can pay £300 a month on the latest car etc but then after 2/3 years they have to give the car back meaning they have pretty much thrown 2/3 years worth of monthly payments down the drain..... I think I'd rather have a cheaper/older car and own it than basically pay the depreciation on the new car for someone else....

You finance the depreciation and pay interest on the depreciation figure

BHP/weight ratio is the key though...............

Yeah but a Saxo weighs as much as a tin of beans.....

13j

You'll need to drop a lot more weight than that to make up the 50-60 bhp difference from an E46 M3 to an MY03 Zed......

**** em

I've considered leasing a few times but I just can't get my head around it. I obviously understand the concepts but just not under what circumstances I'd need to be in for it to be beneficial. The main benefit is obviously you don't have all your capital tied up in a car, which is very appealing to me whilst the financial sector continues to be volatile. The way it gets sold to you is that you only finance the cost of the depreciation, not the total cost of the car. The downsides to me are the limited mileage and high monthly payments due to the short term of usually 2/3 years plus you need to commit to the payments for the term and face a heavy penalty if you want to give the car back early. If I didn't have the cash to buy outright I think i'd rather get a loan for the full amount and maybe have it over a longer term so that the payments are close to the lease payments, at least then you would own the car outright and could sell it at anytime if needed etc...

So, before I pay for it, is this is good price? i can't see anywhere online for less than about £840..........unless there are some super dooper computer sites doing it for less may be??

Nope 2007

Dammit

M3 all day long. Especially an SMG II in the highest velocity setting. It's pretty savage in that setting. Sounds like a bag of spanners but is fast as ****.

Your about £3k off

Good find if it doesn't go up too much... A few people after it, good luck I JUST WON IT FOR £611, WELL CHUFFED

hILARIOUS!!!!!!

Found one on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SONY-Vaio-VPCJ11M ... Laptops_EH

Hmmmm i'm liking the look of that Sony, especially as I'm a Sony whore.........

But the Apple looks so pwitty If I stick with the PC, is there anything that looks as good as the Apple? Anyone got any links to decent sites to buy one from?

But my world is currently loaded onto my Outlook calender/tasks......I assume you can't get MS Office on the Mac? Is there an equivalent?

Nope, no gaming on it. I just need it to be be lightening fast. My laptop currently runs off the wifi connection which is slooooooow upstairs in my office.

Can I start a thread to say that I have replied to another thread??
