  1. Try singing the above to the tune of Greased Lightning - it works really well!
  2. That has made my day - you silly bugger! I'd have been worried about it getting scratched never mind left in the woods in a bog! did you see any nice boys with banjos and missing teeth? Must dash anyway - off to buy a 30 year old landrover - best advert i've ever seen for those!
  3. I agree with Charlie - I wouldn't have bought it either if I thought it was girly. I like aggressive cars - that's why I never went for the soft top (sorry!!!!!!!)
  4. I was with Tesco for my previous car and when I tried to insure the JDM Z with them they were very expensive and not only wanted a cat 1 alarm but also a tracker! My current insurer insisted on seeing the CAT1 alarm certificate which was fitted when the car was imported. As tim said, if there's one on the car already a fitter should be able to verify it for you. Whereabouts are you located?
  5. I sent my mum Atonement on DVD via play.com to France where she lives. My son forgot me - what a surprise! However, he did buy me the Mark Ronson CD last weekend after I mentioned I wouldn't mind listening to it, which was totally out of character as he's never bought me anything for no reason - then again he did ask me a few hours later if I would lend him the money he needs to do his motorbike up!
  6. I've bought a cheapish one to give it a try. We've got multi room so I can try it off the sky plus box and the traditional sky box if I have a problem. I'll let you know how i get on.
  7. don't think you'll find an importer that will take your citroen off your hands to be honest. You'll only get shut of it by trading with a dealer who's already got one over here. I would try and sell privately if I were you or do what I did which is (sorry to bore you all again) took out a loan for the full Z amount but made sure it was one that I could make extra payments on with no penalty. Got an importer to find me a car, while I was waiting for it to arrive (12 weeks or so) I sold my existing car privately about 3 weeks before my Z arrived and paid that money off the new loan. It did mean I had to scrounge lifts etc for a few weeks to get to work though.
  8. oh what a shame! Poor you. Like the others said, try pistonheads as it's free, you've nothing to lose. I got quite a bit of interest when I put my type R on there. I would also use ebay classifieds, no bidding involved you just but the price of your car and the good thing is you can put as much info and pics as you like for a very cheap price, I think about £15. I wouldn't even bother with autotrader any more and if I did I would only do the internet bit. Best of luck.
  9. think those need you to actual run wires - i've seen them in argos a bit more expensive that send the message through walls etc without wires. I might get one this weekend and give it a try.
  10. I think the more expensive ones can be used by remote but I don't want the little sod turning the main TV over anyway.
  11. any particular model you'd recommend? Not sure if I'll need a second remote control - don't particularly want him switching it over!
  12. I mean a TV/Digi sender - you can get them from argos from about £50 upwards. Is a magic eye something else?
  13. Anyone used one of those magic eye things that mean you can watch your sky in another room? There's no TV connection in my son's room and I was thinking of getting him one as a temporary measure.
  14. I've used super unleaded, bp ultimate etc since I bought the car last year. I thought i might harm it if I didn't but if sarnie's putting 95 in his lambo then bugger it, I'm sticking some in the Z! There's not many petrol stations near me that do super so it's good to know i CAN put 95 in!
  15. Well done Rob, I would have prefered a northerner but I suppose you'll have to do!
  16. I was terrified! Whole house shook, the bed the lights, everything! Thought my boiler was exploding! I'm on my own a lot but luckily my hubbie was home last night. It sounded like a train driving through the house!
  17. I wanted to see how gay I was but it won't let me go into at on this computer at work!
  18. and what's wrong with a man doing any of those things? Nothing wrong in being well groomed - who'd want a bloke with Dennis Healey's eye brows?
  19. It won't be people who are bothered about the price or the depreciation that buy it I suppose. I thought it looked and sounded great but by the time I could afford one it would be about as outdated as a capri!
  20. Only just got round to reading this as I don't normally bother with the joke section - I don't have enough time inbetween filing my nails, booking hair appointments and putting the kettle on! Was quite funny though!
  21. A regular favourite but you cant get away with that, even as a Mod, Specifically which cheese and which onion Strong cheddar and very strong onion And strong breath mints!
  22. that's exactly the sort of thing I'm after as well for lugging tiles and paint around in etc while we do our house up - (and for nasty days when I don't want to take the Z). How much did you get it for?
  23. I would much rather do that. Blink and the weekend's over. I love having mondays off work - it makes sundays so much nicer!
  24. I wish you were all gay - I love gay men - far better company in my opinion!
