As long as it fits in the boot, I'm sure it's suitable. Got to be enough space for one of those fold-up tables too though, otherwise he'll have nothing to sell them all from! OOPS! Spoilt the plan?

I'd like to have a manual gearbox if I had all that power to play with, tbh.

Confused me too, don't worry.

I heard black is the new yellow, which was the new black but is now the old black, because black is the new black. Apparently.

They're expecting over 1000 people there on bonfire night, so I suggest that night's probably not the best one to have all the Zed's lined up... As far as the discount's concerned, if you speak to the gaffer and say you're from the owner's club, tell him his son sent you, he'll sort you out. Food is really nice (not being biased either) and is great value for the price, like MarkW said. 'Swanky restaurant food at pub grub prices', or something to that effect.

It's legal if you're putting it in a JCB or a tractor (etc). The construction industry mainly use it, and they use so much diesel it would be unfair for the government to charge them all the tax that us regular people have to pay, so it ends up with them only having to pay about 20p a gallon as opposed to the 90p it is in the petrol stations. As far as acquiring and using it yourself, the only place you're likely to get it is the pumps from a construction company HQ, and they're not supposed to let you have it, because they could lose their supply if they do and have to pay the full price like the rest of us, which obviously they're not going to want to do. The most common culprits tend to be workmen and other people who have easy access to the sites, but they'll always get found out eventually. That's my interpretation of it anyway, feel free to correct me anyone who knows a bit more about it...

I reckon you took it like that deliberately. You see, your real vehicle is the white van in the background and you realised we would be onto you if you took a better picture........ Haha... rumbled!

I've had a bunch of old ladies asking me about mine today... I don't know which is worse!

By the way, if any of you fancy a trip to the pub, it's quite a nice drive out there, and my old man will give you 20% off (does one of the moderators want to put this on the discounts page?) Can fit a fair few cars on the car park too, if you fancy doing a cruise up there some time... Directions to the pub are on the website (click the banner) (Excuse the crap quality of my phone's camera... It goes about half way again behind where I'm stood taking the photo) We're just in the process of sorting out a classic car meet and an FTO club meet there, as well as the HUUUUGE bonfire night on November 3rd with professional fireworks display - imagine a small 1 bed bungalow, that's about the size that the bonfire is currently at, and it's getting bigger every day! Anyway, enough plugging. See you later!

Took a few photos earlier on at my old man's pub... Hadn't washed it at this point, though, so don't watch the grubbiness (of the wheels especially!) Also been to order some new Michelin Pilot Sports for the rears, Kwik Fit are doing them for £500 for the pair including fitting (I could only manage to find them for £300+ each on the internet, so didn't feel too hard done by). I guess having the 19s comes at a price! Worth it though. Cheers for the welcomes by the way.

The cash was for customs, not for Ming, although I doubt they could take cash either? I had a similarly stupid thing happen to me the other day (also a copper)... Some woman called up saying she'd knocked a young lad off his bmx - so it says on the log that her name is Ruth, and obviously she had a female voice, so we go there expecting to see a woman driving a car... Anyway, when we turn up there's a woman called Ruth sat in the drivers' seat of a Metro, with the seat pulled right forward. She'd knocked the lad off his bike as he cleverly decided to do a wheelie across the road in front of her, it was the kid's fault, but she was clearly shaken up. Her husband (who was considerably taller than her) was stood on the pavement talking to the lad and his mates. The kid wasn't injured, and was a bit of a gobsh*te, and when we turned up they all scarpered. Anyway, the bloke then tells us that he was driving it. "Erm, ok, so why's your missus in the drivers' seat?" "She just moved it out of the way of the junction for me." OK, so he sits in the back of the van while we check the car and his documents, and we leave the missus in the car. Running the car through the box reveals that only Ruth is insured to drive it, and the husband doesn't have his own insurance on another car. "Are you sure you were driving it?" "Umm well I might not have been..." "Look mate were you driving it or not?" "OK then, yes I was." I go speak to the wife again, see if she wants to change her mind... "No, he was definitely driving it." If she'd have just admitted she was driving it, we would have just taken enough details for the accident book and sent them on their way - it was clearly the lad on the bike's fault, and he'd done one. As they were both adamant that it was the bloke who was driving, we ended up seizing their car (which costs about £150 a day storage), and reporting the bloke for driving with no insurance, which will cost him at least £500 and 6 points in court! Why on earth would she not just say she was driving?!

Yep that's my car! Sorry, Jackal!

Nope, no badges, not even the 'Z's above the side-repeaters. Was thinking about smoking the lights to go for the full 'batmobile' look... Think I'll leave it as it is for the time being though, turns enough heads! Spending the day shopping for tyres, trackers, and security posts for my driveway tomorrow (amongst other things). Have fun playing in Wales, those of you who are going!

Oh well...

Did you like the 'copy & paste' action, by the way?
