  1. As most people know I have used JM-Imports and Jurgen who runs it has been excellent. He called yesterday to say my car gets off the ship tomorrow! Faultless service so far!
  2. I wasn't sure about this but I can't believe how good it looks! Bravery rewarded I think! Stunning!
  3. white is definitely gaining popularity and it seems to have a kudos all of it's own on jap cars. Lots of younger guys I've spoken to have said why didn't you get white! If I'd have wanted white when I was looking at the jap auctions there was always plenty of high spec ones around as it's obviously very popular in japan but like you I just couldn't quite do it. And as said it is pearl not flat colour - I'd love to see one in the flesh. I was also warned by someone about that place at Keighley - think they trade under 2 different names as well so be careful! Get Jurgen to give you the password to the auctions and have a look.
  4. I always wanted one of those when I was younger. I don't like the new ones, it has to be an oldie like that - its fab!

    CBT

    It's a tricky one isn't it - after all, he's old enough to take the consequences and sometimes that's what needs to happen. If he's driving his bike with too much BHP how is he going to get caught? I presume the greatest risk is if there's an accident? Or do the Police spot check? All his mates seem to have parents that don't give a damn - they think I'm a real killjoy.

    Mmm, I can sense a family argument coming on later..............
  7. You haven't done anything I'm just aggressive!

    CBT

    so (and sorry to hijack this thread) where does a Yamaha R6 stand then - legal or not?

    CBT

    yeah i knew that, he's not riding it - it's stashed away! Just wondered what you were entitled to drive at age 19/20 when you've just passed your test. He gives me all sorts of bull about being able to ride a big bike if it's restricted etc - he's quite sneaky! It's my worse nightmare anyway him having a bike at all but "while he's under my roof" I will make sure he's legal!
  10. it's the mileage thats a prob. Need a few more pics as well. I've put it on ebay classifieds as well. In all honesty I'd take 8.5k.

    CBT

    My son has gone from a moped to an aprillia 125 and has now got a Yamaha R6. He has to retake his CBT which has run out now, he's just passed the theory and is due to take his full test in a couple of weeks. Can anyone tell me what the law is about size of bike you can ride etc as I'm never sure if he's trying to pull the wool over my eyes on this subject!
  12. Does this seemingly common problem cause any damage or is just the annoyance factor of it making the noise?
  13. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/162589.htm Hi guys. I know you won't be interested yourselves but please do me a favour and let anyone else know that you think may be interested. It HAS to go by the end of this month so I will consider sensible offers. (yes I left the sat nav in - couldn't be arsed with the messing about)
  14. Don't worry, I'll give you a clout for her if I ever meet you!
  15. hummer and a fuel tanker to follow you about?
  16. are you classed as a fellow northerner then?
  17. yeah it's nearly ready now. I bought the sunset so it would match the brembos so it makes sense for me to match as well! (hey, can you tell I'm back at work?)
  18. can't be worse than what Clarkson said on that top gear episode I mentioned before. He said it looked like it had been done in Fake Tan and that the sort of person that would buy one would probably be the same colour!
  19. funny, at least it wasn't knitting! You'll always score points for including your wife/girlfriend even if she's not bothered about going. You can't lose then can you. Oh and flowers are always welcome - I'll be waiting for them!
  20. I really like it - and that doesn't make it a girly car because I actually like my cars to look more agressive which is why I went for the coupe Z and not the soft top.
  21. sorry I wasn't having a go as such but if I was your girlfriend and I came on this site (which is the first thing I would do if you had the site sticker on your car window so beware) I would be a bit hurt that you were showing off your ex to the guys - but then hey - I'm an over sensitive female after all and you are only a man!
  22. oops sorry - your 'other half' then. Go on out and get her some flowers - I demand it!
  23. I would spend less time worrying about what your ex thinks of her arms and more time about what a lovely wife you've got now! (sorry had to get the female perspective in and ruin it).
  24. Moi! Actually I'm quite a bad passenger - I never dare say anything but I get told off all the time for gripping the seat or covering my eyes while the other half's driving. I prefer to be in control myself.
