Bugger, must be getting slow in my old age Typed out a long reply only for Martin to beat me (and his actually makes sense).

You sir, are a legend.

That's weird, when I hit the 'quote' button it comes up with a different post to the one showing now, must be something to do with a fast edit. Anyway, using the tragic death of a fellow club member to tout your personal agenda makes you much more of an a**e than anyone boasting about racing on here IMO. Joining with a forum name like yours stinks to high heaven of simply wanting to start arguments and rub people up the wrong way. If someone like class one (for example) wants to tell us we're driving too fast, he can - he's earned the right by being a valuable member of the club. You haven't, so please bugger off.

*nitpick* No it's not, the recipients of honorary foreign knighthoods can't use the 'sir' title.

It shouldn't be funny, but it is.

Congratulations.

Terrible news, my thoughts are with his family and his friends.

OMFG what a great quote.

Last time I saw pics of it, it had fist sized gaps between the panels, doors that didn't fit properly and TWO spacers on the back wheels. Are we definately talking about no1br's old car?

Wow Now that's progress! Personally I think the UK / EU etc should be putting more money into research like this, and less into reducing Co2 emissions. I just can't see the future of the planet depending on mankind moving backwards rather than forwards.

It won't make any difference, the strike is about the lorry driver's pay, not fuel prices.

Mickey and Minney are at a marriage counselor when Mickey explains why he wants to leave Minney. the counselor turns to Mickey and says "with all respect Mr Mouse, I hardly think that your wife having crooked teeth is grounds for divorce." "I didn't say she had crooked teeth" says Mickey. "I said she was f***ing goofy." Oh and he's a dog.

Have a read of this thread here in the FAQs; http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=35926 Explains a bit about how the twin turbo system works, may be a good place to start diagnosing a problem. Good luck!

Hahahaha.

It's stuck in a vicious circle with people coming to the end of the fixed rate deals.... they'll end up with big mortages that some of them can't afford, followed by the inevitable repossessions, making the banks even more paranoid about lending money, leading to even higher rates. Prices may be going down but if no-one's willing to pay the bank's rates, the agents will end up with lots of unsold houses on their books which will make it even worse. IIRC this is what started the American side of it..... quite poor homeowners being mis-sold re-mortages without understanding that the repayments would shoot up after 3 or 5 years.... there's been so many repossessions that in some areas, the banks are the largest property owners by far, with huge numbers of houses that no-one wants to buy. My fiancee and I were looking to buy this year.... sod that for a game of soldiers, we'll stay renting for now and build up a bigger deposit until things get a bit more stable.

Ermmm... yes? Actually I have no idea what your question is or even if it's aimed at me, so I'll stay quiet.

Obviously yes. The whole 'active' 'inactive' player thingy. Although I suppose they are still taking part in the game, just can't be classified as offside.

I haven't read through the whole thread, but the tags have already got me laughing.

you need a new hobby imi.

Ian whenever I see a post from you, I know it'll be either A: Informative, B: Very funny, or C: Both. Thanks for all your advice over the years, best wishes with whatever it is you do now.

Ahhh damn hayfever season again. Remember that the worse time of day is usually in the evening when it starts to get dark, the air cools so the pollen that's been drifting around up high falls to earth. Close windows etc if you can.

I know how you feel, had so many time wasters with my old car I started going to garages to look for a trade in instead - I got fed up with the Sunday ritial of washing + polishing only for no-one to show up. The phone calls were worse though.... like Thorin said, asking every minute detail about the car that's already in the bloody advert Especially stupid when they must've read down so far to find the phone number!

Quite possibly one of the most facinating technological and medical advances for years is announced, giving hope to not only disabled people, but sufferers of brain injuries, parkinsons etc...... and some people can only focus on the poor cute monkey who had to eat sweets to make it achievable.

Interesting.....learn something new every day, thanks Chris
