nixy

not even if you'd run out of Andrex?

just spotted that - couldn't be bothered to scroll across before!

make sure you let me know if you go, i'd like to come and say hello!

I'm already going with another club but I believe it's the same weekend as the scotland thingy as well.

My previous insurer made me send them the certificate but the current one never. As said above - if it's stated in the Z literature see if that's good enough. Is it a big price difference?

be careful in the rain!

Hi and welcome. Planning ahead is a good idea then you know what to look for. I joined here about 6 months before I bought my car and 9 months before it arrived.

ok, i'm sorry..........

what a nightmare! I presume the main problem is that you have effectively bought the car yourself and they are simply an agent. In which case you already own the car? Trading standards are just not equipped to deal with this sort of thing as you have found out! Its gonna be hard to find someone with experience of this sort of thing - have you thought of trying to contact another importer and see if they can give you any advice? Not sure they would but it's worth a try. I feel for you - you must be so pi**ed off!

...or do you mean 'fit for purpose' Well yeah, I guess so if the purpose was to get stuck! edit: looks a bit sharp too! Ouch!

yes i've used bar keepers friend before on a belfast sink - very good (maybe we should start a cleaning business? )

really? I haven't found another microfibre to come close to the e-cloth. I've just had a new kitchen put in (shiny work tops) and i have spent ages every time I clean it buffing it back up to a shine. Got some new e-cloths and it just glides over it and instantly it's shiny! But if you promise these are good I could be tempted?

Have to agree about the nxt - i found it a nightmare to get off! I've got einzett glanz wax at the moment. You can't beat an e-cloth for polishing. I have tried various microfibres but these are brilliant - just slide over the surface like nothing else I've used. They are on offer at B&Q at the moment for under a fiver for a microfibre and a glass polishing cloth in a pack - both work brilliantly on the paintwork.

aren't those holes a bit on the small side.................?

you're all sick! Good colour choice there - much nicer to have something a bit rarer.

why oh why oh why?

just be careful you don't polish right through the paint! Most professionals that use these would do so in conjunction with a paint depth gauge. Unless of course your cars already GM then it won't make any difference!

looks nice - i haven't seen a blue one yet. Can you fit me in for a trim next week?

welcome to the forum - get some pics up when you've got it.

When you start doing virtual husbands and kids can you let me know?

Well you've managed to scare me!

orange escort my favourite. there was one at TOTB the other week same colour.
