  1. Volks GT-Cs are gorgeous and I'd love a set but being an engineer, function must take priority over aesthetics so I'm on the lookout for Volks CE28Ns which are super light. 18"s of course.

    Insurance

    Admiral did me a good deal at £360 fully comp, NCB protected on a UK spec TT but I'm 43. Can't wait what it'll be when I'm 70!!
  3. Renting is not dead money but in the long term i.e. 25-30 years buying is still the better option. Why? It's because it's YOUR PENSION. Don't rely on SERPS, stakeholder, or final salary (if you've got one) to see you through your zimmer years. With the increasing OAP population there isn't going to be enough to look after all of us when we retire. Watch the news! There will be a BIG pension problem in the next 20 years onwards. We'll all be working until we croak. Now if you had a house, you can sell up move to somewhere nice, sunny and cheap and spend the surplus on your Toyota Zimmer. I can't wait. Sun, sangria, bingo, false teeth, incontinence pants, bring it on!
  4. Yeah they're okay. Last summer I posted (at the UK end) a carbon fibre racing bike frame to Switzerland through Parcelforce. Light but the packaging was very bulky and heavy. Cost £45.
  5. What size, how much & where are you getting them from? I like gold very much but a tad hard to touch up if you scrape them. Gunmetal!
  6. For the superstitious Supra driver, just lie and say you're a survivorof the mother of all carmaggeddons.
  7. I also meant to say I'm not immune and successfully bedded mine into an armco barrier at about 5 mph on ice.
  8. It seems nearly every Supra owner I meet, talk to has had a crash. This week we've heard and seen the aftermath of Squiffy's amazing escape. What does this say about Supra drivers or for that matter Supras? Are we out of our depth or is the car, standard or modified, a lethal population controller. Instead of buying performance and bling, maybe we should be improving our driving skills to match the car's capabilities. It seems you can pass your test at 17 and as long as you pay the insurance drive in a group 19/20 car. Maybe the next group buy should be a high speed driving course? I'm not having a go. I know we're all responsible law abiding citizens. I'm just interested in hearing comments. Discuss.
  9. My old financial director a fine woman of advancing years liked her cup of char as follows: 1. Warm cup with douche of boiling hot water fresh from the cauldron. 2. Fill to half way with fresh lait du vache harvested from the dairy chest in local branch of Sainsburys. 3. Top up with hot water to the brim. 4. Holding the corner of the tea bag, dunk once to wet the bag, twice to infuse the eau du lait chaude and then thrice to fully taint it a beige colour. 5. SLURP!!! WOT A FUCKING WASTE OF A JOLLY GOOD TEA BAG!!! I could've strained the contents of my incontinence thong and she wouldn't have noticed. Well not until she developed gum disease and her teeth fell out.
  10. Was it you who put the Ewww in Ty-Phewww?
  11. Wot lady? All I could see was a load of hair, mixed up with some clothes and something that looked like bubble gum. SCARY!! I think I'll buy myself a diesel Volvo with a sticky hand brake.
  12. A luvverly refreshing cuppa aye but FOR CHRIST SAKE DON'T PUT MILK IN IT! Have it black with a slice of lemon. Like wot I iz supping now. SLURP!!!!
  13. I've got a company Amex card. Only good as an ice scraper. Hardly anybody accepts it due to their exorbitant charges. Do youself a favour and get a cash back credit card.
  14. That's awful! You were very lucky!! I've got an intact part of your Supra sitting on my dining table. The rear roof spoiler arrived in one piece today. That was quite abit of bubble wrap to send through the post. I hope everything gets sorted at your end.
  15. Unless there's a motorway, nuclear powerstation, paedophile day care centre next door, this being the UK, you'll find the value of the property will just keep going north. Remember it's location, location, location.
  16. I was treasurer of the management company that looked after the freehold of the building we all bought a flat in. When somebody was selling up and this sort of problem came up, we just spoke to our solicitor who extended the lease. In theory it could hit zero but in practice it never does. The landlord is probably long dead or the management company has sold on the freehold so to get interest, they extend the terms. Or am I talking bullsh1t.
  17. And people who yak on their mobiles, pick their noses like cos they're in their cars they're invisible, motorbikes with poxy matchbox number plates (c'mon wot you afraid of!!!), dustbin trucks which drive in the middle of road cos they're only on £5.50/hr it's the only thing they can do to attack society cos they pratted around at skool, horse riders who don't clean up after dobbins has launched a salvo of GG dirt. You have to scrape up after your dog so wot's wrong with Shergar! Cyclists who ride on the pavement at 30 mph when I'm just about to leave my drive. MAKES ME SO ANGRY!!! ARGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
  18. Could be the brand of tyres. Certain tyre have tendency to tramline and wander following the contours of the road. Also check tyre pressures. Can be something as basic as that.
  19. Are you sure you can afford the house prices/rent?

    Mini Rant

    Yeah I've noticed that. It's all about the abused becoming the abuser. It helps them feel superior and in control. Same as work place bullies. And it seems to be the same people. Also being on the net you have a comfort zone that you can scream with apparent impunity and not get your lights punched out. There's a lot of anger here. Get some therapy.
  21. NO NO NO!!! It's gotta be the twats who edge out bit by bit from T junctions until you have to stop to let them out. Bad enough when they're turning left going your direction. Worse when they're cutting across your line of fire into the opposite lane. Like the stupid chavette bimbo tonight. Where in the effin highway code is that a legit manouevre? GIMME A M1 TANK NOW!!! KILL KILl KILL!!!!!
  22. Look on the bright side. It's all relative. Forget a loan. You could buy a Supe with your credit card soon. I paid £18K for my Supe 5 years ago. What's a UK spec TT with 53K on the clock worth these days?
  23. Damn, didn't anybody here boost up your bids? What was your reserve?
  24. Wot about uninstalling FIL and installing MIL?
