If AIDS were a car...

They're great, as long as England don't qualify. The last time we didn't make it was one of the best tournaments ever, no silly OTT bits about England winning, just great teams playing great football. Sadly it looks like we'll qualify easily for this one, only to play dull football and lose in a pathetic fashion when we actually get to the important bit. That said, if France do well then it'll be a great atmosphere, so I'll probably end up supporting them for that week.

Nah, it's bloody awful. Engine in the wrong place, common as muck, hairdresser version, probably even an auto too!

If it ruins LM for me in any way, I'll be irritated as hell. Already having to think about making sure crossings are booked early, and leaving extra time to get down there and back!

This is true. Still, a bit harsh on the Zed, but ultimately they had to pick one car for the main photo.

Is that brown?!

Check out the main pic... /trollin'

That is utter genius!

Just make sure it comes to you in her will though, yeah?

Although, that would be a very cool name to have...

Oh FFS you know what I mean, I'm trying to stop anyone stalking them!

I know someone who had V6 XXX (XXX being their initials) first of all on an I4 TT, then it moved onto a F6 911, now it's on an I4 Scirocco

Sums it up rather nicely, good link

Maybe its just teamtarmac guys No-one likes #TeamM&S

BT Sport lite is the pikey version that only includes BTS1 which isn't HD.

Just on for me then apparently!

That's odd, I didn't actually write four asterisks or c*nt, I actually wrote c*ck which got blanked automatically. TEST **** ****

How on earth did you get that past the swear filter?! Nah, we're cool blud. Me and Doc used to argue like crazy on here too, then things kinda clicked and we realised we're pretty much both awesome as hell.

Nope, I still think you're a ****

Hint: Get the oldest plate you can. That way, you can transfer it to pretty much anything you want when you sell the car. I'm okay with most things I'd ever want with my R-reg, but the missus has an 04 plate one which is limiting car choice a bit. Of course, I'll just buy her another plate if I need to rather than let that decide the car choice, but you can see what I mean.

Dunno I went from a 265/40/18 to a 275/45/18 and it appears to have closed the gap Quite. It'll work, but it's the wrong way to do it. You increased the profile by nearly 20mm, or 3/4". Why did you do that, out of interest?

You shouldn't, as that's how the TCS starts getting confused. You also end up raising the car, which makes it look like a 4x4. That said, you will get a more supple ride as there's more give in the tyres. Normally you'd do that by dropping wheel sizes instead though.

Those ratings are pretty useless. Look at how many tyres get an A: Most of them, and I can tell you from experience that they have massively differing levels of grip in the wet! This is why NCAP change their test procedures each year, because technology improves and what was hard to get 5 years ago should be easy to get now. The tyre ratings don't do this, so it's actually very easy to get high pass marks. The idea of the ratings is to weed out the truly crap Ling Longs (as opposed to regular Ling Longs), which legislation has managed to do pretty well. The EfficientGrips are shopping trolley tyres IMHO. They'll do the job, but they are very far from a performance tyre as they're designed for fuel-saving and longevity. That's not me saying that, that's Goodyear themselves.

First off, chill. This isn't as big a deal as you might think, so don't stress. To start with, you've had an accident, so you MUST report it to your insurer and/or declare it come renewal. Failure to do so may lead to your insurance being invalidated etc. Now, the easy thing to do is just call your insurance co and let them sort it. I can't tell if you've done that or not yet. Legal cover is irrelevant, any injuries the TP may have will be covered by your standard insurance terms, so you already have enough cover for everything. Let them deal with it, any letters you get you can just pass on. That's the right way to do things. On the other hand, if you're not going to tell your insurer at all, then Docwra's absolutely right. Pay him the £200, get him to sign a full & final settlement letter, and you're done. If he comes back later, you have that letter as proof that he was done with. You can then go to your insurer at that point if he really is an arse, however I suspect he's no intention of doing that.

Erm, don't drink the coffee? Blag a test drive in a 370 whilst you're waiting, at least. Or anything really, might as well use the time constructively, even if it's to know for sure that the current Micra is still a POS.
