Noice

It's like a school disco.

More likes = a bigger e-peen

It was a bit of an extreme way to avoid buying your missus a valentine's present. In fairness though, he did warn her if she cracked the old "Would you like one leg or two?" joke whilst carving the chicken again...

One of my favourite ever films. I can recite most of the script word for word, sadly!

I'm making a lasagne tonight with home-made pasta sheets. It will be made of win and nom. If that doesn't get me oral pleasure, then nothing will.

But there is no cost at the moment Pete, only the car and I'm guessing that giving that back is not an option right now. They must be given a final written opportunity to get the car working as intended, and if they do not then you need to cough up out of your own pocket to take it somewhere else and then you claim that money back via the courts, if necessary.

Go back to the start. This is actually quite simple to solve. Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork. Get receipts, dates, times, conversations, letters, everything. Get and keep a record of everything you asked them to do, what they did and what problems you had since. Send them a letter via a recorded service (Special Delivery, not Recorded Delivery!) stating a reasonable period of time (7-14 days) for them to either fix the problem ir you'll take it to court. Be very sure in your paperwork here and you'll be fine: You take the car somewhere else, get them to fix it and claim the costs back from the garage. Again, be very sure here as otherwise you'll trip yourself up in court. Don't falsify stuff or blag it a bit, be honest and truthful and you'll be fine.

I got my other half a gym bag.

Hang on a minute... Bloke goes to buy a car. Puts down deposit on promise of work being done. Work gets done, and then the bloke calls up and says "oh sorry, I don't want the car anymore, can I have my deposit back?". Sorry, but why should the dealer have to suffer in any way, shape or form for this? Not only do you have his cost for the actual spraying that's come from another party (I assume), but you've also got his time for sorting it all out and then his time having the car in stock and not trying to sell it. That's a lot of wasted time and money, and he's not in the job to simply do people a favour. If you put down a deposit on a car and then pull out, you should lose the whole lot. A deposit is there for the protection of both parties, and if one person puuls out why should the other suffer any kind of loss at all? Sure, as a gesture of goodwill he may want to give some back, but given you're unlikely to go back there to buy anything from him then I wouldn't blame him for keeping the lot. Sorry chaps, this is the real world where people have to make a living. He is fully entitled to keep the lot assuming the paperwork is correct, credit card or not, and if the paperwork isn't correct only then does it become the dealer's problem.

Yup, all gone.

Stunning.

£50K puts it firmly in halo car territory. Hopefully it'll drive as good as it looks, but that's no certainty. I wouldn't spend my money on one, not at that price.

Good video 'Need' is a relative term though. Some cars need them else they're undriveable, others don't really need them from the factory but it's a nice thing to add on later. Elises don't have them, for example, and an LSD isn't considered a must-do upgrade by any means.

Similar. WRX will be better than a Zed, I'd expect to see about 28 on the combined. The STi gets 25mpg during the week but that's 80% motorway, when I drive it at the weekends you can see that drop into the high teens with ease. Same goes for the Zed though, so I'd say they're about equal.

Putting 'turbo' and 'sport' in the title doesn't remove the fact it's a diesel repmobile Mate's wife has got one to use as her daily, remarkably competent at what it does and rarely fails too. Apart from when the rear brakes bind, as that was a huge PITA to fix!

If it looks like a cheap copy of a cheap exhaust... Take a punt if you want, you could always sell it back to close what you paid for it if it's no good. Hell, even if you can't it's only £150.

Nope, same as the WRX so 10K or 1 year. That's for the newage cars, I'd expect the classic ones to be the same though. They're really nowhere near as highly strung as the Evos are. My other half commutes every day in hers, 50-odd miles. No problems at all.

TADTS

It's all about selective racism. If you hate pikeys or dole monkeys, then that's fine. If you hate black people or gay folks, then that's bad. Even the terms I've used there, on purpose, demonstrate nicely what's acceptable and what isn't. It's very easy to place the bigot card, but standing up to it is incredibly difficult if you're in the public eye.

MANLY TRUCKS ARE MANLY I'd love an F350 for work.

Then why didn't Webber finish second last year? Or the year before?

Although obviously Louisa is a lovely name, of course! *grabs shovel*

Lols, you know what I meant!

Amen brother. Amen.
