I think the key here is that you have to realise that whilst your not in a car like a zed your not actually going to enjoy driving. Your primary aim is/was cost cutting so you need to get into that mindset now. In my previous cars, I would love going for a blast and even a trip to the corner shop was an experience. Now it's a purely functional experience. It's like being married to a Porn Star for years and then going back to being single; it's just not as much fun as it used to be

HPI only gives you Insurance claims against the car where they are significant enough to become CAT D or C cars. Did you ask him if it had been in an accident? If you did and he said no then then have a point.....

Yup I bid 900 as I couldn't afford anymore so someone has got a good deal If you bid £900, why didn't you win as they went for £900?

Not sure what the problem is here??? Did you ask him if the car had been in an accident and he said no?? If so then I understand. If you'd not asked him and then when asked he told you, whats the problem??

Wow. Maybe Val was right?

What????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It came with it as its an Msport, I don't have an issue as its not saying its someting it's not. If it said M5 then that would be a different ball game Msports don't come with M badges Only 'M' cars come with 'M' badges..................

Some 'crappy cars' can be hiding something special under the bonnet, and are just waiting for lardy cars like a 350z with drivers with superiority complexes, to eat alive.............

Got what you deserved by the sounds of it

What?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Are you trying to put him off??!! Stew's done well for himself;

Your going to need to provide more info than that

I have but they have bloody took my money and will take "5 working days" to refund my money. In the meantime I have to fork out the money again to get some to do it tomorrow

FFS!!! I just plumped for etyres in the end and booked and paid online for fitting tomorrow after speaking to them this morning. They have just phoned up and said they can't do it tomorrow now!!!

I think going to contracting is less of a risk than for most other people looking to go self employed. I left a salaried job earning £70k+, where I was the top business writer for three years running, to go self employed. I had no six month contract to fall back on, no client bank, nothing. I had to start totally from scratch. Now that was a leap of faith! Five years later I'm still here after trading through the worst recession we've ever seen. The main benefit to me has been the ability to work from home and be here with my two kids every single day, not many blokes get to do that Once I get them to school age and can force the Mrs back to work I might be able to buy a decent car again

Ricey, You know the industry you/we are in is on it's arse. The market is still contracting and personally, I think, you'd be out of that company within the next year or so whether you wanted it or not. When a company gets taken over they will assess the current staff, their roles and their salaries. The higher the salary, the more at risk you are. Therefore, leave. Now. Take the six month contract and live like a pauper. Save as much as possible and assume you won't get another contract. If you don't, then use your savings to live on and get back to PAYE. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If you do get another contract, then happy days.

Black circles couldn't get anyone out till Tuesday

Tried them, they can't get anyone out until 11am Monday which is a shame as they were pretty cheap

I have spoken to these today and they can do tomorrow, but can't specify a time and were about £20 more than others. These will be my fall back option if nothing else comes up

The 18" E46 M3 rims are horrid, they have a kind of lip too them that makes them look awful My M3 had the 19's but water had got behind the laquer on every single one and had corroded them pretty badly, which is pretty common apparently.....

Can anyone recommend a decent place to get tyres fitted at my home address? I need it doing either today or tomorrow latest

+1 Even though I like a well though out detailed advert, by the time I got to the bottom I was skipping most of it just to get to the price............
