  1. Very smart ! Agree re. Tax Disk Holder. Are those reflector strips on headlights std colour ? They look more yellow against the paintwork, might be an illusion.
  2. I seem to remember something a couple of years ago about a site being set up to check recalls issued by manufacturers online, just had a quick search but couldn't find anything, am I just having wishful thoughts or did one exist / get created ?
  3. This afternoon late'ish Somewhere near the De Vere hotel, no idea of road names, but I'm sure it was in Swindon.
  4. That looks superb ! You must be one proud owner ! Phil and team must have taken great pride in doing that work, great !
  5. A teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where first pig was trying to gather the building materials for his home. She read ... 'and so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said: 'Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?' The teacher paused then asked the class: 'And what do you think the man said?' One little boy raised his hand and said very matter-of-factly .....'I think the man would have said - 'Well, f--- me!! A talking pig!' The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.
  6. The Iranian Ambassador to the UN had just finished giving a speech, and walked out into the lobby where he met President Bush. They shook hands, and as they walked the Iranian said, 'You know, I have just one question about what I have seen in America'. President Bush said, 'Well, ask.' The Iranian whispered 'My son watches this show 'Star Trek' and in it there is Chekhov who is Russian, Scotty who is Scottish, Uhura who is Black, Su lu who is Chinese, but no Arabs. my son is very upset and doesn't understand why there aren't any Iranians, Syrians or Iraqis on Star Trek.' President Bush smiled, leaned toward the Iranian ambassador, and whispered back, 'because it takes place in the future. uh oh
  7. 1/4 mile 3.5 hours, bl**dy TOM TOM PMSL Winner already
  8. Welcome, welcome, welcome ! I've worked in Redditch before but not done that commute, used to go in and out of Longbridge a bit as well. My the sounds of it your mileage isn't going to be the biggest cost factor change, get an insurance quote or 2 as well, most things will cost you more than what you have currently but you will definitely grin a lot more and look at your car more.
  9. Welcome, welcome, welcome ! Enjoy the weekend !
  10. No wonder you guys have so many posts Very entertaining, just what I needed this afternoon. More Mods, are there any left ?
  11. Those young comments The price of insurance is governed by the perception of risk that the underwriter has of your details. Different underwriters use a different mix of risk assessment criteria in making their judgement similar in the way credit companies assess credit worthiness based on their acceptable business levels of risk. Adding another driver over 25 is usually a common reduction of risk, the opposite is true for under 25 where the risk from accident statistics increases. There is believe it or not a surprising potential difference between job titles that can make a few % difference, although anything bordering on fraud is naturally not recommended, at best it is a reason for non-payout on a claim (same with answers on performance mods). As an example a job title of "Area manager" may incur an increase of 5% over "development manager", if the title reasonably represents what you do for a living then you are alright. The comparison websites don't all use the same brokers or insurers so it is worth using a couple of them, last time I looked it up MSP had the most brokers and insurers but Confused had 12 brokers and 6 insurers that MSP did not use. If you've got the time and will power to re-enter details it can make a difference, the other point I've noted is that for some reason you don't always get the same quote back from the different sites from the same broker/ insurer and this seems to be driven by the slightly different questions they ask you. I hope that is of use to someone but I suspect that it might be common knowledge to all of you. Sorry for the fairly long missive.
  12. Superb job, and not exactly shabby to start with ! Got a black Subaru as well as the GM Zed at the moment, feel a need to go get it done now, black always looks so great when done to that standard. Great job
  13. Brave man ! Might be time for you to look at Kismet, can help with locations used for surfing sorry, for checking your wireless LAN at home.
  14. Congratulations! Great commitment in time, energy and tolerance of others Not too sure about the "Post Whore" status though, that kind of implies being paid for what you post.
  15. Fred and Mary get married but couldn't afford a honeymoon, so they go back to Fred's Mum and Dad's house for their first night together. In the morning, Johnny, Fred's little brother, gets up and has his breakfast. As he is going out of the door to go to school, he asks his mum if Fred and Mary are up yet. She replies, 'No'. Johnny asks, 'Do you know what I think?' His mum replies, 'I don't want to hear what you think! Just go to school.' Johnny comes home for lunch and asks his mum, 'Are Fred and Mary up yet?' She replies, 'No.' Johnny says, 'Do you know what I think?' His mum replies, 'Never mind what you think! Eat your lunch and go back to school .' After school, Johnny comes home and asks again, 'Are Fred and Mary up yet?' His mum says, 'No.' He asks, 'Do you know what I think?' His mum replies, 'Ok, now tell me what you think!' He says: 'Last night Fred came to my room for the Vaseline and I think...I gave him my airplane glue.
  16. I went soft for a few minutes, sorry was a funny 30 minutes don't know what came over me. Better not write any cheques out either. I wonder if any of them will post a reply now ?
  17. I agree, but what can you do ? I did enjoy the exchange of comments though, very funny.
  18. It is all in the setup and isn't a "Bingo Card" per se. The daughter is clearly ...and thinks she is ... as stupid as children think. Mum understands ... doesn't get wet ... A little edit as suggested
  19. Maybe "Summer tyres" but our climate isn't exactly without rain in the whole year. My experience of the stones this winter is best described as entertaining when sometimes you wouldn't have expected it to be, they are being swapped when a bit more value is had from them, then to either Toyo's / Flaken's depending on money at the time and how I think they look.
  20. Welcome, welcome, welcome ! On tyres I think the word is said already. Didn't take you long to be stopped. Enjoy the Zed !
