I never showed you the bill for the 911 exhausts, did I? Makes that seem cheap Go look up the price of the Tubistyle Veyron exhausts, will make you feel a whole lot better

Read the wording of your own insurance to be sure, but usually it will state something like "Any modification that differs from the manufacturer's standard model" or some other legal jibberish. Basically if it was an option or you've stuck it on afterwards, then tell them. The worst they can do is charge you extra for it, at best they'll just say they don't care at all.

Any of the major plate traders (RegTransfer etc) will be able to do this for you, although you'll pay more as they'll want their cut too. In theory you could try and convince the DVLA to release the owner's details for you, but whilst your reason is genuine I doubt they'll give you what you're after due to their strict rulebook.

Go for some resonated decats then, if you don't want the raspy sounds. Personally that's what I'm going for on the MX-5, and the end pipe will be left as plain as can be so I can bolt any old sounds reducer onto it for trackdays. If I go by when the car was registered in this country then I need cats too, but if I point the MOT tester to the VIN number and ask them to look it up on their system they won't be able to find it and I can go catless I take it you've sorted all the spark issues and the leaky gasket things?

Remove all cats. Install straight through pipes. ??????? Profit.

Waiting for the missus to go to bed so I can carry on playing ME3

Ignoring anything dull like living things or photos, I'd be grabbing: 1. My lucky black drumsticks 2. My Wusthof chef's knife 3. My collection of 1:18 model cars

That's my next car. In black, with red interior highlights. I may have to grow a third testicle in order to have enough manliness to actually drive it, though.

Just take your finger off the button mid-fold, and you'll have full access.

White Shark wheel wax? Looks good mate, top job

Sounds like you've got the mixture knob set incorrectly on the lance. I had the same problem until I realised that the + and - was for how much water you wanted, not how much snow foam

You're not kidding, I think they outweigh the actual informative content on here now!

I read the propoganda that came with Jo's teacher strike ballot last year, and after reading it there was no way they even considered giving anything approaching a balanced viewpoint. It was quite disgusting to read, if I'm honest.

Yeah, 'cos all rugby players are saints Both cases prove the exception rather than the rule IMHO.

I wouldn't even bother with that, tbh. Within a mile or so of driving on normal i.e. non-oiled road surface you'll have scraped everything off anyway.

Sorry, I assumed the £10K was a typo given the amount of zeroes on it. Clearly not, so I do apologise because I now look like an utter arse with my last comment, sorry Hugh.

Those lights are vile.

P2 is correct, what needs doing should be listed in your handbook. Expect to pay anywhere from £200 - £350, very much dependant on where you go. If going to a main dealer look at the higher figure of the two, and they will supply everything. Idle does seem a bit high, usually only does that when cold but then the mornings have been a bit nippy of late. Signs of exhaust blowing are really as simple as visible gasses escaping (check the flexi joint on the Y-pipe and the connections on the backbox) and a bit of extra noise.

Is that not the kind of thing that happens when the forum starts counting posts, or something equally weird? I know that 99% of other phpBB forums end up with oddly high users online numbers because of that, not sure about here though.

£10K isn't going to get you a car comparable to a DB9

Conti GT. Reliable, masculine, somewhat nippy.

Mine do it too, and they're 8 years old now. What is slightly weirder is the recent habit that Zelda (the male of the two) has recently picked up, which is to snuggle up and sniff my armpits once an evening before coming back up for air with a very contented look on his face, and a slightly puffy tail. It's a little bit... Well, a little bit pervy if I'm honest, but it keeps him happy enough.

I take umbrage with that first pic though: The sign says "Cliffs Kill", but surely it's the falling bit that kills you and not the actual cliff?
