  2. raining earlier but i still washed the car drizzle in the south is reported as a tsunami we have an earthquake..... straighten our caps and take the whippet for a walk
  3. The protests we had a few years back (2000-1) were because the UK price of petrol was far higher (due to tax) than it was in Europe which made hauliers uncompetitive if they were based in the UK. There is still an element of this but its not as bad as it was then, the main reason for the hike has been the cost of oil going up (now well over $100 per barrel). After tomorrow, their may be more to say on the matter though, we'll have to wait and see... hmm... according to recent articles the price of oil has recently dropped but the price at the pumps has in no way reflected this From a news story on FT.com posted at 1pm this afternoon: Nymex April West Crude Intermediate crude oil prices fell 78 cents to $104.37 a barrel while ICE April Brent crude oil fell 72 cents to $101.66 a barrel. Still f%&king expensive if you ask me! agreed mate, everything i hear and see seems to point to the country being in a mini recession that is growing blame america

  6. I am no expert, but what you are describing is all too familiar. Noting what you say about others in the company have been successful at their tribunals is it worth contacting them for contacts/tips etc? I am a firm believer in not 're-inventing the wheel' it is not necessary. Whatever legal help they got could be invaluable for you, being placed in a similar position. I presume, as you have not mentioned it, there is no 'union' or other body you suscribe to that you could use to help? Anyway good luck and I wish you well in what is an awful situation when you have given loyal service for so long. +1 I would also advise that from this point you should catalogue everything, event, date, names this is very very common now you may have a case for constructive dismissal but you should get professional advise, is there anyone in a similar position ? you should push them to seek advice that way you get it free
  7. drive it, it will probably disappear, maybe on one side due to wind direction - temperature that side ? discs discolour due to oxidation very quickly, usually more noticable after you have washed the car, you may have scorched the discs but one side is unusual

    White?

    Think its their demo - been their for a while now - its a sort of pastel white - which I like compared to a glacier panel van white - if thats what you mean? Been seeing a white import every morning on M56 East bound to Manc past airport this week - looks ace! The 80's are back ! fire up the quattro
  18. +1 i dont think there would be enough contrast for that to work Works for me You've got polished lips haven't you, Jay? We were talking about him painting the lip silver and the rest black. Not the same effect at all IMHO. Nope silver sparkle painted, shines nicer and easier to upkeep with the laquer thats what i got. Same as what they do for mercedes wheels My apologies - I stand corrected. I'd have to see them in the flesh to see if they change my opinion. Which wheels will you have on if you make it to Wales? i was thinking the same as digsy i think - flat silver not silver with barbie sparkles you need contrast imo
  19. a compliment indeed... from the master my thoughts exactly though
  20. You will be driving that slow On a serious note, i would try to get someone else to take the points but obviously this is now a bad idea as this forum can be read by anyone! do they care ? if they are not willing to offer the evidence to so you can name the driver, that suggests to me that they just want the ££Â£'s and dont care if they get the culprit
  21. crack pipe
  22. 25 in 30 ??? now thats strict
  23. congrats louis
  24. this weeks auto express pg45 " my company car was caught speeding but my wife and i genuinely couldnt remember who was driving so we contacted humberside police and requested photographic evidence. But we were told we had no right to see the evidence, adding that giving false information could lead to six months inprisonment, i was not prepared to risk my freedom by guessing, so we have been fined £500 for failure to identify the driver, thankfully as the car is a leased car to my firm, no endorsement points could be added to either driving licence" i always thought you were entitled to see the evidence
