My moths, Trever and Geoff, take care of the shilling and sixpence in my wallet.

I agree £4K isn't peanuts, but it's only one month's wage. In that scheme of things, it is peanuts. Why a house? A 2 bed flat would do as a temp measure, surely? For six months before moving into a longer term property, I'd be happy to live pretty much anywhere if I could save a few quid. A roof, heating, hot and cold running water: Pretty much all you need.

Late blobeye is the one to go for. Extended track, DCCD as standard, still the 2L engine, other suspension changes.

Sell and buy new wheels. Ones that fit, preferably

6 months rent is over £4000 which I'd rather put into a mortgage. That's only a month's wage for you though. Peanuts. Also, just rent somewhere crap for six months, not somewhere decent. As in a couple of hundred quid a month, not £600.

Just wait six months. No problems then.

I don't mind older ladies. I got a smack from the missus last week for declaring that I was very happy that Nigella is single now

You've lost the plot mate... You may as well be gay! She does look a bit like a bloke, granted. It's that angry face that does it.

You're quite right, what a munter. What was I thinking of? Rather her than, say, Beyonce. Any day.

Ah, apparently not, great timing!

Have the government started censoring your Google already?

Eiffel Tower then Dave?

Sorry I don't know what that means. JFGI

I wouldn't see her ribcage when I was balls-deep in her from behind

And yes. She's scrumptious.

I did mean Wizard, but applies to you as well BBK

GTFO

They do have aircon, that's ace! Do it. Do it now.

I would genuinely ruin that, I really would. I would smash her until it fell off, then pick it up and gaffer tape it back on and carry on with the smashing.

Sorry, but we cannot have a thread involving a Middleton (or ex one, anyway) without some Pippa: Tidy

Unless you're desperate for turbo shove in a pretty body with just two seats, I wouldn't bother with the MR2. And that's coming from someone who loves MR2s. My only experience with Imprezas is the New Age ones, so bug/blob/hawkeye cars. WRX is dull and feels like a taxi cab, STi cars are simply incredible in terms of pace and poise. Get the 2L engine over the 2.5L, far stronger and more revvy. I'd agree that the Evo is a more precise and quicker weapon than the equivalent Impreza, but there's a lot of gizmos doing the work for you and I always felt the Impreza was more characterful, which is why we bought one.

What pads and discs are you running? I appreciate that's an awkward question to answer if you've only just got the car, but some combos are noiser than others and pretty much always will be.

It is, but it also works on squeaky brakes and ones that have friction material stuck to the discs. In short, it's a catch-all procedure that costs nothing to try

Carry out a bedding in procedure. 5x stops from 50 - 30 low pressure Drive at 70 for a couple of miles without touching the brakes to cool them 5x stops from 70 - 30 med pressure Cooldown 5x stops from 100 - 50 as hard as you can before ABS kicks in Cooldown You can substitute the third one for another 70 - 30 with hard pressure if you don't fancy doing a ton. Carry out the stops one straight after the other, using full acceleration.
