SV? Already? Shame. 458 is due to be replaced this year, possibly at Geneva. Expect a turbo engine this time sadly

It's a Samsung 6400, to replace my old 55" 7 series. Technically a step down, but I figure that tech has come on a long way in that time so should be the equivalent. Standard HD as I don't believe that 4K will be worth it in the next five years, plus have you seen the cost of 75" 4K TVs?! Hopefully I'll get it up on the wall sometime this weekend.

We're men, we always round up

My tiny winky is legendary. Why else do you think I bought a Porsche?!

You can have the box to play in, if you like?

Don't think I'll need a bigger TV for a while now.

I'm going with a local firm, half the price but I've had recommendations so hopefully everything will be fine.

Thought I recognised it. Enter at 30, boot it to a ton, drop to 30 at the end. Sorted

Sound's good, but why film it in portrait??!! Sorry, pet hate. Where was that taken?

@Steve: At least a grand, more if you want insurance and waivers. @Craig: Mate, you've no idea how much it's been doing my head in!

He needs a pair of O2 sensor extenders. I think! Contact Clark Motorsport on here fella.

Well, you know when you get your knob caught in your zipper... ;) Love you really xxx

Definitely.

Every time I see someone else recommend the MPSS with the same fervent vigour I do, my heart swells with pride and I feel like an old man watching the newly trained youngsters tending to the flock

Blimey. Is he quite young, or driving a silly power car?

Most insurers aren't going to sting him too hard anyway for a non-fault accident on a company car. Hell, I barely got touched at all for my mishap in 2013 that was 100% my fault, as I didn't claim off my own insurance but someone else's. Very similar thing.

If there was no accident, there can be no claim. The accident here was a poorly tied load damaging the vehicle internally, for which the driver is responsible. My original post was a bit misleading. There was no accident whilst during the driving (like you say, maybe the load shifted whilst on the ferry), but there clearly was something damaged.

Full inspection, buy cheap, sell cheap. CatD cars can have been written off for some really silly reasons, so I'd never reject one out of hand.

They're correct. Someone was in charge of the vehicle at the time, so the accident is someone's 'fault'. Whoever is driving is responsible for the load, regardless of if they loaded it or not (that's a legal thing, same as making sure a car is roadworthy before use etc). However, depending on how it's worded when your insurer asks if you have had any accidents, claims or convictions, depends on whether you need to tell them. In your case there was no accident whilst driving, you didn't personally claim and certainly no points involved, then I wouldn't feel the need to disclose it. Had you binned it whilst driving, that would clearly be different. If I wasn't driving when it happens, I'm not coughing up to it. Whoever was needs to take responsibility, however galling that may seem. If they don't, then they're likely to get the boot for gross misconduct. A grey area, definitely.

Yes.

Nor me. I feel left out.

Oh that's just depressing, swapping one of the last great V8 lumps for a giant Duracell

Rain sports are okay, more suited to an mx5 than a 350 though. You'll get so much more mileage out of the MPSS, that it makes them the best value tyre to buy more than anything. Chuck it on a 0% credit card, or even a normal one and pay it off over a couple of months: Long term, you'll be quids in.

Grab 'em! I still really like those tyres: Bugger all grip, but loads and loads of feel.

Gotcha. Good luck with it all! We move on Friday. I've spent all evening bubble wrapping speakers and guitars. Yay, what fun! Never moving again. Ever.
