First off, I feel your pain. Second, the fact that the driver was a woman driving a BMW makes no difference to anything, I've seen just as many awful male drivers in various cars on the roads as anything else.

No, so you now have no excuse to not go and do the whole Comparethemoneysupermeerkat thing yourself

I bought an E92 M3 before the 911. Test drove it, paid my deposit, went home. Got home and didn't feel remotely excited about the car so went back to the dealer the next day and got my deposit, which went straight on the 911 instead. They're great cars, very capable and a good all-rounder, but as a fun car to drive they do nothing for me sadly. There never was a Cayman 3.2 only the 3.4, and at a budget of around £21K then you'd be looking at a solid 987.1 car. Very very good cars, but be aware of IMS issues and go in with your eyes open. Aside from that issue, they're the same as a Zed to run but better on fuel, and are a better car all round as long as you get a good spec one (i.e. if it has the 19" wheels, then it MUST have PASM. Most do, so dont worry too much). Sat nav is useless so you'd be better off getting a car without and look for better options.

Brain bleach required, stat!

Not necessarily a bad thing though, that. Using it to replace the head unit would be a much better idea, it's just about the perfect size for that.

I've met him too, that's how I know he's a really good bloke who will take this in the spirit in which it was intended

This thread gives me an idea...

Another poll! Vote away folks! Am only kidding matey, I love you really bro

YES!!! I've been saying this for years. Its like Phil Mitchell with a wig. :lol: :lol: So very, very true! Nigella on the other hand... Utter filth, but so hawt. Susanna Reid too.

You can spin the wheels in the wet happily in a straight line even with the TCS on, try nailing it out of a corner and see what happens.

@Chris: Good body, but do you not think she has a man-face?

Simon & co ftw Never seen her present anything, although I have heard of her. She's not that easy on the eye, so without Jake I can't see any reason to even consider the BBC for F1 coverage now (not that I did last year, either!).

Very much sounds like the battery to me. With all due respect to your friends though, surely people are capable of figuring out pretty quickly if it's the battery that is dead, especially considering there's a voltage gauge on the car?

He kept his cool a lot better than I would have, I think. I'd have probably run the bloke over, or driven like an utter maniac to get away from him. Neither would've been the correct thing to do.

No tree here or decs here, CBA.

At what point did the mongs think "Ooh, it's getting a bit deep here, better turn back?" Shame they got out alive, morons.

Clay and clean with vinegar or Coke.

If the dealer has confirmed that the pressure is okay, then I wouldn't give it a second thought. Very rarely do cars have an oil pressure gauge, and for the most part they're useless as either you have oil pressure or you don't: It doesn't tend to drop off or give you enough warning to do anything about it. One minute fine, next minute engine kaput. As irritating as it may be that your gauge doesn't particularly seem to be working as you expect, I genuinely wouldn't spend anymore money on chasing it. It's not a massively accurate thing in the first place, and if you're that bothered about it then I'd swap it out for a decent aftermarket unit instead. That's not to say it wouldn't do my head in as well, as it really would, but sometimes you just need to call it a day

The only Binis I can tolerate are the standard size ones. Anything after those is chav fashionista tat that deserves to be burned.

Does sad smiley work? EDIT Yes it does, so that's cool. It's just the winky one then.

Any chance we could change the :wink: smiley code back to instead of the word 'wink' wrapped in semi-colons? Would make life an awful lot easier, especially for those on Apple devices who don't have access to the smiley list.

Perhaps he was referring to any noise you make? :wink: :wink: :wink: I know what you mean though, diesels are no longer the bargain they used to be. For small trips, a petrol engine is pretty much all you need and the smaller purchase price can often offset the higher MPG, especially when you take the cost of the fuel into account.

Diesels are boring and make a horrible noise. The prosecution rests, m'lud.

Sh*tty Link are a bunch of lying thunderc*nts. Any company that uses them no longer gets my business. They are an absolute shower of b*stards. Best service? Royal Mail. Never late, good access to depots, friendly and practical delivery staff.
