And it doesn't weigh as much as a small house. It's a bit like saying you might as well buy a Murano instead of a 350Z because you get four seats.

HaydnH's car sounded lovely Think I was out in the RX-8 at the same time as Haydn at one point, made for a good comparison.

Either my Focus 1.8 TDdi, or the VXR220. Focus because it was the first car I bought myself, and did everything so very well. VXR220 as it was the first car that made me really understand vehicle dynamics. It also went like sh*t off a shovel.

U no wear i am

I'd love a could beer right now.

*facepalm*

As I said, just do it online. Easy.

I thought it was just a typo

Call them. Sometimes it takes 5 mins, sometimes 5 hours, sometimes 5 days. Can you not tax it online?

I don't think an air rifle is really comparable to a proper firearm. We don't know the back story here enough, really. If that was the first gun she's ever held, then that's utter stupidity. If she's grown up with guns and has happily fired most pistols then this may just have been the next step (giant leap?).

Tbh, I'm not seeing a huge amount wrong with it. Given the context of their country, which is completely different to ours culturally with regards to guns, then really the only thing I can see wrong is that he didn't hold the gun with the child. Ultimately he's paid the price for that mistake, but I don't see anything wrong with getting children used to guns as long as you're teaching them a respect for them at the same time. Teach them how to use, how to control, how to be safe, but also teach them that they're f*cking dangerous. I'd almost compare it to the way that I see no harm in giving kids small amounts of alcohol with meals from an early age, to build up their respect for booze. Shooting guns is fun, no doubts about that, so if you can teach them to do it in a controlled environment then why not? The issue of whether guns should be as common as they are is another issue entirely, IHMO.

Hands up if, as a nine year old boy, you'd have loved to shoot an Uzi?

Nope, they're great tyres.

What Mac is it, and what version of OSX is it running?

Sad times I'm sure she knows you loved her and you did everything you could for her, just remember all the good times you had together. Stay strong mate.

Nah, had to take the 911 instead sadly. In the end it worked out okay, but I've still got Donny booked for October so fingers crossed it's ready for then

Not good, fingers crossed for you mate

Massively missing the point. Even if you never, ever go anywhere near the level of grip offered by car, tyre or driver, you get more miles out of them per pound spent. The fact they handle superbly is a bonus in that regard.

Thanks guys. Genuinely much appreciated, always happy to learn new things My views on donating for this have not changed, though.

That's what the boot is for

So what's the budget?!

^^^ genius.

Night drives pwn all. Especially in a convertible, there is no finer driving experience.

I doubt that anyone truly understands what ALS/MND actually is, myself included.

I'm not ignoring your post Steve, but I don't have an answer for it. I feel for your sister, you and your family, and it must be awful to know there's nothing you can do. Life isn't fair, and bad things happen to good people, but none of that claptrap makes your situation any easier to bear.
