How do all accidents start? "Watch this!"

Assuming, of course, you're happy with LHD. Personally I don't mind, but I can see why others would.

Zero contest, Mustang every time. Preferably the V8, but I suspect the blown 2.3L is going to be a hoot too as it'll be lighter up front.

You don't have to air your problem, but by being vague all you're doing is hurting Abbey, the members of this forum and the forum as a whole. Because no-one really knows the issue, we don't know if Abbey f*cked up a little bit, a massive bit, or whether you're making the whole thing up. I get the whole not-rocking-the-boat thing, I do, but then you might as well say nothing at all.

At least one guy was filming it properly. Why couldn't we see that footage?

Well, yeah. Either say what the problem was, what they did to resolve it, and what the final outcome was. Far better to be honest and open than cloak and dagger, as that helps neither forum member nor trader. Doesn't matter if they're a paid trader or random backstreet garage, it's better to know a story than guess.

Nice job sir

I know absolutely nothing about bikes. That, however, looks very cool. Nice one

2+2 rather than a 4 seater. Boot isn't exactly that big either. For a big car, space is at a premium. Still an absolute hoot though!

It's for the first 90 days of ownership, I'm not surprised most things scored highly Pointless survey is pointless.

On a side note, and this is wholly unprofessional and the wrong way to do it, but I normally just do the plugs up using my left hand directly above the socket. That's my weaker hand, and it gives enough torque to seal without going overboard. Like I say, not the done thing I know, but it's never failed me across many different cars and many different plug changes.

"Do not shock the spark plug" *thinks* *pulls plug out of box* *looks at it* *holds it close to face* *yells "BOO!" as loudly as possible* *giggles to self childishly*

That will buy him my 911. I know I'm biased, but that's a better car than anything else mentioned (excluding GTR maybe, but that won't get 35mpg on a run). Am more than happy to chat to him about it if he wants.

Crappitty crap-crap. I went through three different options including a tape adaptor, an FM transmitter and a CD changer thing that didn't fit before I did the sensible thing and just replaced the head unit.

Regardless of Milner's talent, you never see him put in less than 100%, I'll give him that.

Good lord man, it's not been the Premiership for years! England have always had good individuals, but rarely have we ever been able to put together a decent team. Managers are always picking players based on name, not on form. That pressure comes from the FA, who have nice fat sponsorship deals lined up involving Rooney, Gerrard et al. No-one wants to pay to support a team consisting of Lallana and Lambert.

People do that anyway during boring SC intervals. They don't seem to have too many issues with starting up again during qualy.

Look at the bench for the semi in 1990: Woods, Dorigo, McMahon, Steven, Bull. That's hardly screaming quality there, I'd say we're better off now than then.

Look at the money involved. Insane figures. Tbh it's too busy now, and that's part of the reason I don't go any more. If they just reduced the amount but increased the cost per ticket, I'd go again. Quality over quantity and all that.

I like the standing restart idea. They all bunch up again after a SC, so why **** fuel and tyres away? Will certainly help those drivers who make quick getaways.

I'm with Dave, I blame the FA. If they'd handled the JT thing differently, we'd have had our best defender on the pitch. JT with Cahill would've been immense.

I don't think money is the problem. Sure, maybe when playing away at Hartlepool in the league cup on a freezing November evening then you might just go through the motions, but let's not forget that each and every one of those players is an England fan first and foremost. There is no greater honour than playing for your country, much less playing in a World Cup, so to think that none of those lads were hurting this morning isn't really fair. Apart from Rooney, Suarez is probably the best paid player on the pitch, but he seemed okay with it. Look at the Italians, or the Germans, or even the Brazilian team: They are ALL on mega bucks. Let's not even start with Ronaldo and Messi... Money isn't the issue, it's poor management with no plan B, and a culture of fear. They are so terrified of losing that they won't commit, rather be branded lacking effort than being the guy on the back page for weeks because you made one tiny mistake.

This was the first England game I've watched for a couple of years, since Italy in the last Euros I think. I think I shall go back to watching Braintree Town. At least I know they're shite, and don't expect anything much!

I can't have imagined Redknapp sitting there, stony faced.
