Don't say that! I got taken just before Xmas, and it wasn't until the new year that I discovered it, f**kers had nearly £2000 out of me!!! the bank's onto it now, they've said they would have it sorted pretty soon. I can only hope they're telling the truth. 15 months!!! Please, no!

Can you imagine the conversation after the novelty wears off? "right, what d'you wanna do now?" "dunno" sniff Nutters!

Not sure that English is your average brummies first language

I might be up for this, but again it's a long round trip from down here in the westcountry. My car is also pretty standard, but if your mag wants to sponsor an ongoing modification project, I'd be right up for that

Have a look at the wheels in the black & white pic. Can anyone identify the rims? I think they might be the same as those on the blue car in the next shot, but what are they? Thanks kids Edit; helps if I put the link in, I suppose http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1032

Hell's teeth, Dave! i haven't even been spotted yet, or anyfink, or nuffin! I shoulda been there, bud, I feel sick now! I gonna go off stamping my feet in a mega sulk, now

Yeah, but eastern Muzak is like modern day water torture, its even worse than listening to the Girl from ipenema on permenant loop, that's why they all risk their lives on the mountain route, at least they have half a chance of survivng!!!

I know what you mean, it gets pretty lonely out there, don't it

While I still have very fond memories of the ska bands of old, I have to say my musical tastes have moved on since. It's the same with AC/DC, Iron Maiden et al. As time has passed with new bands coming out all the time, my tastes have varied. The last albums I bought for instance, were Mark Ronson, Reverend and the makers, Kaiser Chiefs and Muse. That isn't to say I'm not open to discovering stuff I've not heard before, one of my favourite albums, Dummy by Portishead, was through a friends recommendation, as was Moorcheeba and Goldfrapp, Alabama 3 and even Carter USM! In fact Portishead are releasing a brand new cd in march and I cant wait!!! I'll check out your links, who knows, I might just re-discover ska

I thought ska ended after the Special AKA, the Selector, bodysnatchers and the ilk? I was well into all that in the late **'s early **'s I cant believe how old I feel right now!!!

Who???

Mine goes up to 11. it's like 1 louder

I have no head for heights, there is no way you'd get me up there!!!

A few weeks ago, I took our 13yo to her netball tournament. When I went to pick her up, about 8pm, I parked in a completely empty car park! I mean there was maybe one or two cars in a car park meant for over 250 easily. I got out, went into the sports hall, watched the last of her game, and waited while she said her goodbye's before walking back out to the car. What did I find? A filthy(and I meanproperly dirty, filthy), enormous great crew-cab pick up parked right beside my pride and joy!!! It was huge, and looked like the Hilux from top gear, AND it had chosen to park, in a big, empty car park, right beside me!!!! I have to say, when I rounded the corner, my bladder nearly let go and to my amazement, there wasn't a mark on the Zed! But why? why did he absolutely HAVE to park there? the relief was unbelievable, but it could have so easily been a different story! I don't know what it is either. Our supermarket has a car park about 50% bigger than it needs to be, and I park across the other side of it every time, with about 50 - 100 spaces between my car and the rest of the masses, and more than half the time I come back with someone next to me..... the only thing I can think of, is it must be some sort of desire thing, maybe admiration or jealousy, or perhaps the idea if you park next to a beautiful, rare sports car, some of the owner's good fortune would rub off! I dunno, seems a bit like cluthcing at straws, but I can't think of another explaination

I so wanna come to this, but it's really going to be work dependent I will know nearer the time, but here's hoping!
