  1. I HAVE AN MOT TRACKPIG LIVES AGAIN TIME TO BOOK ALL THE TRACKS :yahoo:
  2. Not if it was set too high, it wouldn't. I personally think you just got unlucky.
  3. You just need ONE conveyancer (solicitor). They handle everything. Whatever you do, GET A LOCAL ONE. Have someone who has a local office you can walk into and speak to someone face to face. Even if it costs you a couple of hundred quid more, trust me when I say it's more than worth it!
  4. Patience, young padawan! I'm now 150 hours into DA:I. It's still immense, but I still haven't knobbed Sera yet. Iron Bull, Josephine, they both want me, but I want Sera.
  5. Great write up in CAR this month, Mustang V8 vs i8 vs Hellcat vs Huracan. Does extremely well, comes out as best all rounder.
  6. Totally going to have to unfriend you, I'm just giving you too much ammo these days.
  7. Fixed! Might be something unrelated, like a dodgy alternator or battery.
  8. Maybe it's your broken keyboard.
  9. The white one is nice, but minus the crappy wing please. The grey one is a chavved up mess!
  10. You misspelt 'ruined'. Just so you know.
  11. There is no better wheel than an OEM wheel. Unless it has BBS written on it.
  12. How many miles have you done? Really, any car coming up to 100k is due a refresh on the dampers and springs, regardless of usage.
  13. The other doozy is when people pour grease and fat down the sink. That's really helpful, that is! Might be worth checking to make sure they're putting it in the bin. Might not be the issue now, but could save you grief in years to come.
  14. All of which is completely irrelevant. To be able to sell fuel in the UK, it has to be of a certain quality. For regular petrol it's BS 228:2012, and for super unleaded that quality is BS 7800:2006. Those are very strict standards set by some very clever people who have to protect the equipment used by not only Joe Bloggs, but also of the civil service as well. In short, it's not worth their while making a crap standard. BS numbers are some of the highest quality checks anywhere in the world, hence why people usually want to buy British products. Anyways, by buying fuel in the UK from anywhere other than Pikey Ted's Good Ol' Petrol Place, it HAS to meet either of those BS numbers. As long as it does, then that's all you need to worry about. If it exceeds it then great, that's a bonus, but the standard alone is more than enough to give a quality indicator.

    Fancy one?

    That looks much better as a race car than a road car, good job Lamborghini! I know that the 4WD thing is part of their USP for road cars, but how much more agile does that look being 2WD? I bet it's an absolute hoot to drive.
  16. Each to their own. Not using supermarket fuel is daft though.
  17. Of course plumbers do outside stuff! What do you think we do when we have to unblock a main drain, or some guttering, or install a boiler?! If your plumber says he didn't do drains then he's not a proper plumber, I'm afraid to say. Just call DynoRod, they'll come out.
  18. I wouldn't run it on a car that wouldn't benefit from it. The MR2 pre-turbo only used to get 95, as there was no point in wasting money on super for an extra 1bhp.
  19. Agreed. Personally I think it's a bargain, much like the M135i is, but I wouldn't want to own an M135i as it's a bit ugly (oh, the irony of that coming from a 6 series owner! ), so I can understand why people wouldn't want one. As a generation of petrolheads though, I think we should all be very excited by this car, what it represents and the value it offers. Much like the GT-R: It's not a car I have any interest in owning, but I can appreciate that it's an absolute stonking piece of kit for the cash.
  20. Nah, Yankee rental market loves them.
