Ekona

That happened ages ago. Lewis is a bit of a tool now, but he can seriously pedal so I forgive him. I thought he was having a bit of a joke with Arnie though, and Arnie took it the right way. It was light hearted ribbing, not insulting.

Dull race, good start for Lewis, and ARNIE!!! Shambolic how we had so few cars on the grid though. Marussia are no loss, but the rules need changing to allow drivers to be replaced in case of illness or injury, as in Bottas. So funny to see McLaren miles behind everyone else though

I know, I'm bloody useless me. I'll do the vid during the week, I think. Keep you all on the edge of your seats, like.

Chill bro, only just got home There's only in car video from the track, I've no idea how good it is yet.

No fear, I have video

That's the thing for me, looking over all the excitement about mpg: Sure, as an everyday car to get from home to work to the MiL at the weekend, a hybrid saloon is a good idea. As a thing that I want to look forward to driving I just can't get excited about them, unless you spend £££ and do it 918 style. Also, top work on the man maths for the Q50

Things I learnt yesterday: A 645Ci makes a pretty rubbish track car. A 645Ci can keep up with a stripped and 888-shod RX8 on track if you really, really, really pedal the thing. When all else fails, drifting a 645Ci is bloody hysterical.

Do you reckon Alonso has just sunk further under the duvet at home?!

Dude, I can't even spell instruction manual.

Because it's a shambles, and they wanted the sponsor money. Farce. Also, lols at McLaren being at the back of the grid, what a heap of crap!

Never put copper grease on wheel nuts. Ever.

I once built a SHED from scratch with just PLANKS of WOOD, then wrestled a BEAR inside it, then FOUGHT with Vladimir Putin afterwards as it was HIS fighting bear I was FIGHTING. I then ATE all the chillis in the WORLD and didn't have a POO for a fortnight, whilst drinking MY own wee for sustenance in a Bear GRYLLS style. Indeed, I am the manliest man. Goodnight.

Did you get anything in writing re the roof? I suspect not given the tone of your post. One day, I'm going to go up there and waste an entire day of their time & their fuel driving as much stock as I can, just to get my own back for folks that have had a bad experience from here.

Sounds like a bag of nails, and looks like it drives like one too.

I thought they sounded more interesting this year when watching FP1 earlier, but I thought it might just have been that I hadn't heard them in a while. Still sound like hoovers though, and the perfect example of why FI cars never sound as good as NA.

You and Ekona need to get a room pretty soon! Well, it's what all the cool kids do

Good luck, and I genuinely hope this works out for you

Or at least give us leave to mock you when it turns out to be a complete lemon and we can all say we told you so

Well, you tell him you'll buy it on the condition that he removes the wrap. If he won't then he's hiding something and you wouldn't want it anyway. Stop looking at this so romantically, or you're going to get burned. Go with your head not your heart on Cat D/C/B/A cars.

And walking down the street, and when seeing friends, and when in meetings, and when shopping in Waitrose, and when sat in traffic...

No-one has any idea what happened. The only 100% fact is that something happened that was cause enough for the BBC to suspend one of their most highly paid stars and suspend filming for one of their most profitable programmes. You do not do that without good reason, in any company. Tempers get raised at work on a daily basis, so I figure it's highly unlikely we're looking as just words here unless they were of a discriminatory nature.

I think there might be a touch of the pessimisms here. It could actually be fine and a pretty good buy, but you do just need to check a few things. If the PPI comes out okay with no obvious defects, just get him to remove the wrap before you buy: That way, you can check everything under it too.

You're getting a huge saving on the car, so spend £200 on a check for it. If it's legit then you're laughing, if not then you've saved £6K. I can sound pretty genuine when I want to flog some old crap, too. Btw, I've got some awesome magic beans here, would you like some?!

Except TG makes millions more than it costs, so they don't have to go back and ask for more money and even if they do, the answer is yes.

Excellent filters. Never used them on the Zed, not when the JWT is available for half the price, but nowt wrong with them at all.
