I'm still interested in one of these....

A mate from work stepped off a curb and fell over and thought nothing of it.... next day his whole lower leg turned black, and he'd torn all his ligaments in his ankle. He then had to work from home for 3 weeks as he couldnt drive.

Well that was fun watching tonight... the rugby game was great... but can anyone tell me how they can afford to wreck all those brand new Kia's? Im not having a dig i just want to know how they did it...! Obviously they wouldnt have gone out and spend £250k on all those cars but who would even lend them to them knowing they'd get wrecked?

Only if they are already covered by another insurance policy for someone else. Ahh... didnt know that. oops.

I believe they're an anodized finish from what i've read online.... actually - i'll do a bit of googling on how to restore anodized metal. But yes i had heard bad things about the AutoGlym too... i was always careful with it however and never left it on long. Be careful with Bilberry though too... im sure Bullet Magnet damaged his Volks using that...

Hey guys, I spent a couple of hours trying to clean my Volks today and didnt have much success. I take them off every winter but i did drive with them on during an early frost in November last year and i think the roads had been salted - but i washed them within a few days so don't expect this to be the cause. I also changed my wheel cleaner in the autumn as i'd run out... i've always used DoDo Juice Mellow Yellow wheel cleaner which was great, but i ran out and ended up using some AutoGlym Alloy Wheel Cleaner instead... i used it 3 or 4 times and suspect this may be the cause? Basically the polished lips are covered in spots/marks which are raised to the touch. I've tried the Wolf's Chemicals Deironizer which doesnt touch them, and polished them with Megs NXT Metal Polish which made a slight improvement but still couldnt clear them. Lastly i tried some bug and tar remover but again this did nothing. Anyone have any ideas on what this could be, or how to shift it? Or have they had their day and require a refurb? The last pic is a closeup of the lip - i've breathed on it and fogged it up and you can see the marks very clearly.

You're doing a 60 mile round trip to get some resistors? If you know the ones you want, just order them off eBay. I bought 100 for 99p incl delivery a couple of weeks ago.

Im with Admiral and phoned them up last week to ask if i was allowed to drive other cars on my policy - and they told me i was - so i think this would cover you maybe?

Paid - 1 ticket + tracktime.

2.2ohm, are you sure? Thats very small... You can just ask at the counter and they will get the ones you need... they're not usually on display for the public to choose off the shelf.

Yep will be fine. I've been on track with a repaired tyre a few times.

I think they will look great in black against your yellow car.

'registered cat d as stolen recovered ( the car was stolen had seats and a number of panels removed )' ...Sounds like an insurance scam

Call up the local constabulary and make a complaint - im sure if you can accurately give the location they will be able to identify the officer and give him a reprimand, if it is as you say.

Brilliant.

Anyone seen this on the news today? Pretty spectacular. Reports of over 500 people injured but no deaths. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6tpVZDg0Mk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GRqK3OWLqs

I would use a heat gun rather than the oven.... that way you can control and direct the heat.

That would be a little expensive for a full front end respray!

Depends on how much your deposit was, and at the end of the day, that is what a deposit is for - to protect against a buyer pulling out. I think a reasonable outcome would be to cover the cost of the repair within reason, or any costs the dealer has incurred as a result of you saying you'll take the car, plus maybe another 15% because they'll feel they've been messed about. Sorry to hear your circumstances have changed, hopefully you'll get in a zed soon enough.

How come you had to have them refurbed again bud? Did the finish not last? I think mine could just about do with a refurb now... i left them on just a little to long over winter and i think i might have fubar'd them. Will consider sending them for a refurb next winter.

Sadly not.

Jim thats creepy... that is pretty much the exact sentence i've been saying to her for the last 3 months! :lol:

Hey all... The missus and i are planning on getting married this year on our 10-year anniversary (July). We don't want to get married in this country for various reasons so would like an overseas wedding, and we're thinking the Caribbean... but i dont know where to start! Neither of us are interested in having a traditional wedding... it will just be the two of us and we see it as just something that will take an afternoon out of our holiday, rather than being a wedding holiday if you know what i mean? So does anyone have any experience in arranging an overseas wedding at all? I've had a bit of a google and there seems to be lots of wedding concierge services offering to help you though the process, but i dont know who to trust or what to expect of them etc. My specific requirements are as follows: 2-Weeks in the Caribbean in July, at an All Inclusive Resort Small simple wedding at the hotel, preferably on the beach All paperwork/documentation/legal processes taken care of by someone else Aiming to spend around £4k really... less if possible but could go up to £5k. Any help will be much appreciated!!

I got sent the Rolls Royce Rally Car vid this morning made by the same guys...

I've got 10k and dont have any police or MOT problems.
