    Hiya!

    .....is over 5 years old! oh - hi, btw!
  2. Yep - Chessington tyres (I have used the one in Burpham) are about the cheapest non-internet place I've used.
  3. Unfortunately (?) MkIVs are dangerously easy to fall in love with at first viewing. Especially if you're after something different ( ) like this. Welcome aboard BoB / Dave!
  4. Seems an absolutely crazy time to be investing in property, mate. The property boom finished a couple of years ago, no?
  5. True - and Boudica's revolution ultimately resulted in the downfall of the roman rule in England and plunged us into 500 years of so-called "Dark Ages". NOT what I would regard as a success, in general!
  6. These sort of taxation increases are going to be painful, but I'm afraid they need to be embraced rather than rebelled against. There is no point rioting on the streets like in Greece. Fundamentally, the government needs our money to help avert a complete economic breakdown. And yes - I know it wasn't our fault - it was the banks, the immigrants, the civil service, the Chinese, etc. - but we're the only people who can fix it, and it's by swallowing the bitter pill of massive tax hikes, I'm afraid! If they don't do it, we'll just be facing a problem 10 times worse in a few years' time.
  7. That's more like it, mate! I seem to recall you threatening a TT transplant, weren't you?
  8. About £4k (assuming average mileage) ?
  9. Ah gotcha! Yes - as described from first-hand experience, best not to loiter in anyones blind spot if you can help it. If someone pushes you into the crash barrier doing 70 on the motorway, having the moral high ground that it was their fault for not looking isn't really going to help much!
  10. Very tidy looking. Not bad for 6.5k I'm slightly intrigued as to why the description says: BLITZ NUR SPEC R 4" STRAIGHT THROUGH STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST SYSTEM WITH 5" TAIL PIPE (BOTH CATS REMOVED AND RESTRICTOR RING FITTED) yet THE CAR IS CURRENTLY RUNNING 0.6BAR BOOST WILL NEED A BOOST CONTROLLER TO TAKE THE CAR UPTO 1.2BAR A restrictor ring limiting it to 0.6bar sounds a bit extreme, no?
  11. Here he is: http://64.115.204.118/44/44-142.jpg
  12. Agree with you for the lorry case - lorries will always have blind spots that can't be fixed. Do NOT agree with you about cars - there is NO excuse for changing lane without checking your blind spot before manouvering - it's pure laziness. I once almost got side-swiped on a motorway that was completely empty except for me and the other car: they joined the motorway from a slip road just infront of me, travelling about 5mph slower. I moved into the middle lane as they joined (so they didn't side-swipe me joining), in the blind spot. The car then proceeded to move out into the middle lane (despite the motorway being empty), and I had to swerve hard to avoid them - I don't think they even noticed I was there afterwards. NO EXCUSE FOR NOT CHECKING YOUR BLIND SPOT!

  14. mytyres here, with them supplying the fitter - I get them to pitch up at my office address, so they can just get done while I carry on working.

    On the Aristo, I did: - custom full exhaust - plugs - boost controller - FCD Exhaust work and installation work was all cash-in-hand. Total spend ~£1k.
  16. I started gaming on my TRS-80 at the end of the 70's and was an avid video gamer for about 25 years (mainly PC at the end) until I rediscovered strategy boardgames in 2004 and never looked back!
  17. Unfortunatley, I suspect it's nigh on impossible to differentiate from just normal kids doing normal things - especially when the girl involved has been discovered to be lying (at least partially) already..... I played all these as a kid - do you think I should go on the sex offenders' list? Actually........ don't answer that!
  18. My! What an exquisitely elongated filtrum you have, my dear!
  19. Are the cars really that old? I though they were still manufacturing in 2002? 8 years doesn't seem that old to me!
  20. Yep - glad these are gone. Total junk - very little useful information on them and what was there could be up to a year out of date. Never seen a sensible buyer who didn't go and get a proper survey done anyway.
  21. I he was legit, why would he pay any more than £750. Really - why?
  22. In case you haven't got it yet, it's almost definitely the boot rubbers! Mine was the same when I bought it. Had been annoying the previous owner for years! Welcome to the club!
  23. Never got to play, "I'll show you mine if you show me yours"?
