  1. 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.
  2. And walking down the street, and when seeing friends, and when in meetings, and when shopping in Waitrose, and when sat in traffic...
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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?!
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Depends on how hooky the MOT tester is. If you know the right people and have the right brown envelope, you can get away with pretty much anything.
  9. And if the chassis is bent to buggery you've lost everything. Please, at least get an inspection by someone who knows these cars.
  10. And back in the real world... Come on Will, I know you're not that naive to believe that. Of course they're allowed to favour one program over another, else you'd end up with every programme having the same budget. Antiques Roadshow does not have to have as much priority as EastEnders, for example.
  11. Pic 7 is really beautiful. I like that a lot.
  12. What has being PC got to do with it? Of course they can choose where to plough their money and what to make sure stays untouched, BBC Worldwide is there specifically to turn a profit.
  13. TG makes a billion times more money than it costs to make. It's probably the most profitable show on the whole BBC. If anything was ring fenced from cuts, it would be TG.
  14. Best thing for eyebrows is a black bin liner. If you very carefully wrap them up in the liner, then place them on a hard surface and smash them to tiny pieces with a large hammer, they'll fit in the bin no problem and your car can carry on looking lovely without those little abortions stuck to the lights
  15. I've a photo of me and Jo outside the factory somewhere. The Morgans at Morgan
  16. We need new blinds I still want the drum kit though
  17. Sorry, I wasn't saying that they're not worth it as I think they probably are, it's just whether I can justify that kind of expenditure on a watch. That buys a nice weekend break away, or a set of blinds for the house, or a decent drum kit...
  18. Is the cost that bothers me the most. I'd want the standard watch in stainless with a stainless strap, preferably in Space Grey. However, £900? I'm not sure I can justify that. The Sport watch does everything too, but I don't want those cheapy bands. I'll wait and see what the aftermarket does with regards to straps, then I *might* see if I can get away with a Sport model. If not, then a standard one with a cheapy strap will do.
  19. Don't bother. Your ECU will adapt to cancel any performance gains, and even if it didn't fitting a Popcharger will only lose you power. It does make a fantastic noise though, which is why I had one on mine Honestly, save your money for fuel. That'll bring smiles to your face quicker than anything else for £150 on this car, as the driving it what it's all about.
  20. I can see some dirt on your car
  21. ...which are highly illegal and will see in you jail if caught. So yeah, probably best not to do that.
  22. Git!
  23. What the hell is wrong with you? SNES pwned the snot out of the MD.
