Gimme a minute to open the van door and get the duct tape off her mouth, and I'll see if she wants to be dropped off at yours next.

Which side? I can confirm we are all dry over by Freeport, repeat, all clear by Freeport.

As a DFi application, you will always get more carbon build up in the combustion chamber than a non-DFi one, and by all accounts the Audi lump is quite bad for this. That said, I suspect there's a lot of specialists out there now that can take care of this for you, albeit I doubt it's cheap. Plenty of 10K Boost will help prevent this though. You're more likely to come up against more usual running costs though: Check costs of brake discs and dampers.

As always, it depends on your insurer. You definitely won't lose your NCB as you're not claiming. However, you will have to declare a non-fault accident at renewal time and they may choose to load your premium because of this. As always, ring and ask for clarification. If you get on well with her and trust her 100% (and I mean proper 100%), then let her do it outside of the insurance. If you suspect foul play for even one second, then call your insurer and let them handle it.

Top shout, I'm in

I turned the sound up on purpose! My, you were excited! Terrible video really having seen the damage done to your car, but incredible to watch at the same time. Thanks for posting that

Jo was as p*ssed as a fart when I asked her. I wasn't taking any chances.

Won't fit a UK car, the head unit doesn't have the required spare port, just a blank gap. I bought one of these about 4 years ago to see as no-one had a definitive answer, I found out for sure

They do an MX5 one!

I could fap over that pic all day long. I love Nadine so much Thank god for the paper bag too!

He could've saved himself a lot of time and effort by just giving her his house, his car and all his money instead. Same result as marriage, just without the paperwork.

S'okay Dave, some of us had noticed that the original post might've gone over a few peoples' heads.

I can see your point, but if you know the weather is going to be bad is it really a good idea to risk £10K worth of car by putting on not-good-in-the-wet tyres and increasing oversteer? Get some decent ones and put them on a credit card, has got to be cheaper than your excess.

You'll also get oversteer much more easily as you'll be reducing the amount of stagger front to rear. Worth bearing in mind.

I'm still waiting for a reply to my email to the Ombudsman

Ah you know me, I'm good at peeing everybody off!

I doubt they send you on one of those if you're caught on your phone, so I assume it was a fancy name for a SAC.

Just for you. :wink:

Probably me

You should've told them. If they'd have increased the price because of this then you'd have had them over a barrel, but because you lied to them it's now on you. Also, admitting to lying to an insurance company on a public forum might not be the greatest idea in the world :wink:

You'd have thought insurers were in it to make money or something.

I saw Steps live at Wembley IIRC back in about 2000. They were ace. I also have a thing for Girls Aloud, and I don't just mean their looks. I love their music, have been known to happily cruise around with the roof and windows down/open with it blasting out. Maybe me and BBK can have a camp-off?

Focus. Class-leading drive as you say, reliable, cheap to run. I used to 3x guitars, 3x amps and 4 persons in my old one, pretty roomy!

Gib was an option definitely, good info Have adjusted the route as you suggest, those roads look a little too good to miss I think even if it does mean a 9 hour drive that day!

That's not a bad payout really, considering. I'd still push for more, but there's not a massive amount out there to back your case up right now.
