  1. Thanks Guys. Booked the skidpan course and I got an aquarium with 3 goldfish off the missus
  2. I'm with Tannhauser. To mock someone because of their disability and infer that they are an idiot due to that is nothing short of wrong, regardless of who they are. Clarkson should know better. Celebs like him are not normal people who can talk bo11ocks in the pub without fear of repercussions, what they say goes down on the written record and has influence on many, many people and their opinions. Once you're a celeb you have to watch what you say, end of.
  3. Bo***cks? Re-read what you said and you're actually agreeing with me. It's the comfy safe interior of the car that causes and/or enhances the laziness and ignorance.
  4. I think it's because cars nowadays are so comfy that people literally are cut off from their surroundings and as such they don't feel the outside world - and in so doing are cut off from everything in it, other cars included.
  5. I'm with you. Too many careless drivers out there living in their little bubble with no concerns for other road users.
  6. I can see where the problem stems from. Americans do have an annoying habit of writing their monetary figures ambigously. For example, they can write 2 cents as $0.02 or 0.02 cents. To them it's 2 cents, but to everyone else - who knows?
  7. I am sure we all have embarrassing posts from yesteryear, waiting to be resurrected by some unscrupulous thread digger. Not that this one is particularly embarrassing, just funny
  8. Whenever they call about anomalies like this it is always good practice to call your bank or card issuer on a number you know to call them on - after all they could be anyone (and often are). Has happened to me 2 or 3 times these past few years
  9. Yes I've put it into N before while overtaking. It was almost a brown trouser moment, but I got away with it. If I had shifted into R god knows what would have happened.
  10. The owners manual says 'Do NOT put into reverse when driving forward' which suggests to me that it's possible, but not advisable. It doesn't say what will happen though!
  11. Not that I am one to try these things, for obvious reasons, but what happens if I accidentally: 1 - put it into reverse while driving forward as normal 2 - put it into 1st gear at high speed Just curious like. Proper answers please.
  12. Is that what she told you? She told me it was her mummy when she'd been eating cake and crisps. Cheeky young things aren't they.
  13. I was always told to obey The Law when it comes to driving and apart from the odd bit of speeding I usually do If you lot didn't know already, Doug (Class One) is a policeman (albeit a pencil pushing one ) and if he says he can't recommend it enough then that's good enough for me.
  14. Mortgage will be paid off soon Besides it's the company's money, not mine
  15. I'm thinking of Premium Bonds at the mo EDIT cheers for that I will check Halifax
  16. I just got a notice in from Abbey bank saying that the interest they are paying my company reserve account is now 0.1%. Incredible, but true. It used to be 4% just a year ago, and that paid a few hundred quid a year. Anyone have any ideas where to put £10k that's safe and needs easy & quick access should I require it?
  17. My missus has bought me driving days for past birthdays and as the big day is coming up again soon I'm feeling the need for something slightly different. I was thinking of this one. It might come in useful what with the current weather, twitchy rwd supra etc Has anyone been on one of these and what are they like?
  18. ChrisB did the snow prevent you from seeing the dog turds underneath?
