What would you like on your gravestone mate?

Yeah, I get that, but what if the issue isn't resolved? Are the Team now stepping in on our behalf? Are you saying that we are forbidden from posting negative experiences by the traders? The rule seems to state that.

Am I reading this correctly that we are no longer allowed to post negative comments about traders under fear of a ban? First we are supposed to contact the trader (which is perfect common sense), then we have to go to the Team, and then what? AIUI, the Team do not get involved in disputes due to various legal issues which is a fairly obvious reason in itself, so if we don't get a resolution...? The new rule seems very clear, that if we post outside of this new method then it's points for a ban. Perhaps some clarification on this, and to the thinking behind it would be very welcome.

Gangzoom, that's absolutely spot on mate, perfectly said.

As I've said before, when a car comes into the back you at night, good luck explaining to the insurance company why you have material covering up 30-50% of your lights. Common sense should dictate that reducing light output is never a good idea, no matter how good you may think it looks. That said, as long as you're happy with the risks then there's no doubt it's a very effective way of getting the result you're after

I see no reason why not.

Knob jockey of the highest order.

You're going to regret that matey, but congrats anyway, new cars are always things to celebrate What you save on finance you're going to pay out more in fuel, but at least you'll be having more fun doing it!

There's alignment, and then there's alignment. Heavy wheels won't help though!

He wanted to leave as he was fed up being played out of position. Seems fair enough to me, not unlike someone leaving a job because instead of managing accounts, they were being asked to do the filing all the time. Money is not the driving force, I'm pretty sure of that. Of course, the top guys who have the choice of Chelsea @£100K pa or Barca @£200K pa might well go for the Spanish side, but then so would every other single person in the whole world. I'd rather stay warming the bench at Chelsea where I might get a chance to break into the first team and prove how good I was and win the title, rather than drop down a league and play every day and win nothing of note ever. That's just common sense. I think you're also forgetting that for every Rooney or Sterling there's a James Chester or a Michael Kightly, who really aren't earning the mega bucks despite playing in the same league. A footballer's career is a very short one, even if they were purely after the money I don't blame them at all for that: They're one bad tackle away from never playing again, and then what do they do?

That'll be the alignment, not the tyres.

Probably not a lot of help posting that in the J17 thread though.

That's what being part of a team is though. Even if all you did was provide competition to make sure the player ahead of you kept his form, then you had a crucial part to play. I don't buy into the gumpf that all footballers are only in it for the money. They got into the sport because they enjoyed watching it and playing it, it's like saying fans only support the team because they really like wearing the nice shirts every year. If the market will pay them millions for doing the job they love, then good luck to them. Ask any player whether he'd swap his money for a league or CL winners medal, and I'd bet my house they'd say yes. Hell, most supporters would swap their money just to see their team win either!

Right, sorry, I completely misunderstood you. My bad. Really, the bigger issue is that Liverpool had a great year last year and still failed, and this year they've gone backwards massively. What player wouldn't want to move on after that? I just think that Sterling has been spectacularly badly advised, and hopefully he can see that and sort it out.

Did you actually just compare Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the two greatest footballers of recent times, with Raheem Sterling?! :lol: I know the point you're making, but Ronaldo had been with Utd for years and his dream was to play for RM who were desperate to sign him. I don't think anyone is knocking down Liverpool's door for Sterling.

He's not likely to become the finished article stuck at a club playing in Europe on Thursday nights

I'd leave Liverpool if I were him. All the best players gone, not likely to improve in the near future, other teams are significantly stronger and his career doesn't look like being particularly spectacular at this point.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :lol: :lol: You will, trust me. You might save 2mpg, but other than that there'll be no difference. Which is why you should get the STi!

Good brakes are the single best mod you can do. Stopping quicker lets you go quicker, will make more of a difference than an extra 20bhp would

I'm telling you now, from personal experience, if you buy another decent car before you buy the house you're going to regret doing so for the rest of your life. Go and pick something fun but cheap, like an MX5 or whatever. Go enjoy something you've not had yet, that you can buy for cash, and sell on after you move for what you paid for it. You may not love it, but it'll be both more fun than a proper shed or spending more on the mortgage than you actually need to.

Properly probably doesn't include upside down

Miles are irrelevant, buy on condition. Same applies to the Z4, I'd get a 100k miler in good nick with history over a 70k one that was a bit tatty. Can you not travel a bit? I'm sure I've seen STi hatches in your budget further south.

Also, we told you that you'd get bored of a diesel
