My other half just bought a new car and I have advised her that she cant use her old crap car cleaning products on new paint work.

What website sells Meguiars kit at a resonable rate, looked at the vallet store earlier and it was down.

OK, I know I have owned a Z for coming up 3 years but...

When you press and hold the trip computer button it defaults to Time, is there a way to get it to default to another function?

There are also plans to charge residents who park on roads extra if their car is longer than average or has high CO" emissions. Where does it stop?

They need to persuade you out of your car with lowere public transport costs not riase the cost of motoring to make public transport look better.

A day peak return ticket on the train from Bournemoth to London is £78. I can fly to moscow for that...

When I was looking for Z I hired a car to look at one in York. I picked up a Golf, had it overnight, drove up to York and dropped it off and got a train from york to London. The train fare was more expensive than me hiring the car.

I am hiring a care and driving from Miami to Dallas in Sept. Car and insurance is only £700 for 3 weeks. Sigh!

THis is what my road angel is for ;-)

Wnating to charge up to £350 a year for you to park at work:

I already have to pay £300 a year to park at work.

Think I will keep a list of all these stealth tax ideas. Everyone is always after the motorist.

I read somewhere that if public transport had an increase of 3% of passengers it would fall over...

A man met a beautiful blonde lady and decided he wanted to marry her right away.

She said, 'But we don't know anything about each other.'

He said, 'That's all right, we'll learn about each other as we go along.'

So she consented, they were married, and off they went on a honeymoon at

a very nice resort.

One morning they were lying by the pool, when he got up off of his towel, climbed up to the 10 meter board and did a two and a half tuck,

followed by three rotations in the pike position, at which point he straightened out and cut the water like a knife.

After a few more demonstrations, he came back and lay down on the towel.

She said, 'That was incredible!'

He said, 'I used to be an Olympic diving champion. You see, I told you we'd learn more about each other as we went along.'

So she got up, jumped in the pool and started doing lengths.

After seventy-five lengths she climbed out of the pool, lay down on her towel and was hardly out of breath.

He said, 'That was incredible! Were you an Olympic endurance swimmer?'

'No,' she said, 'I was a prostitute in Liverpool but I worked both sides of the Mersey!

My paint arrived today, hope I get some time to test this weekend....

Will post before and after pics..

ahhh, thanks. Worked a treat.

I may be going blind (if so I should pack it in...) but how do I add a picture to my signature?

While it is crap everyone knows that it all goes around i.e. the amount spent on the health service WAY WAY outstrips the amount we put in through national health contributions.

Which would be fine if the government said it was spend there rather than saying drivers have to pay for congestion, upkeep of the road, polution at an ever increasing rate.

NI is supposed to pay for health service, IE everyone should pay it. Drivers should not have to subsidise things not related to roads, public transport.

When evryone gets pushed onto bikes who is paying for cycle lanes, roads, AN Other then??

Sigh!

Treasury takes £50 billon and spends £8 billion on the roads. Environmental concerts are estimated at £6 Billion so where does the other £36 billion go?????

I posted one a few weeks ago about a converted horse box, shame they cant sit and wait for burglers or muggers with as much effort.

Yet another example of persecuting the motorist

Surely if they wanted to slow traffic down they would stop speeding cars and have words, not just pop a fine in the post 2 weeks later

Urm...the internet is a wonderful place....

I have tomtom v6 on my phone which is exactly the same version as all the other tomtom units with the added ability of adding maps for use abroad.

I have bought the professional one. Got £50 rebate for my old angel so cost £200.

Another plus is you get 6 months subscription free and as my old one had ran out thought it was a good time to upgrade.

I know sat nav and phone can have a camera database but is no where near as acurate as the road angel.

You can load camera locations into it. There is a website that you can get the list off here:

http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/

If your phone is almost out of contract get an o2 orbit 2, has built in sat nav..

I had the road angel professional arrive today.

First thoughts are:

Has an 8 hour battery so I can get rid of the cable comming up my airvent.

Tells your the speed you should be going at when you hit a speed camera.

Have the option of warning about camera can locations.

Looks wuite nice on my dash :-)

Has a remote so no more leaning across the dash.

You can get a £50 rebate for your old Angel

A major plus for the connected version is that if a drive sees a speed trap he can flag it and that gets updated to all the other road angels in the vicinity.

I added my girlfiend as a named driver (although she doesn't know or need to know) and my premium went down by £70.

This is with admiral, my policy is now only £340 protected fully comp

yep, so have i ;-)

Mine has just been shipped, will take before/during and after pics as my front bumper is peppered with chips

Surfing round DetailingWorld and someone has done a great job to their P1 with this stuff: ---typically cant find the detailing world specific link! ---

Think I will get some and report back in a few weeks

I've emailled them to ask about postage to the UK, and will give it a go if its reasonable. I tried the Langka kit, but was unhappy with the colour match of the Halfrauds paint a mate made up for me. If this is a reasonable price, it will hopefully do a better job

It says on the website to use shipping option 3 to post to the UK

What is the Colour Code for a GM?
