My mate has crashed his car and its got loads of bits on it, the insurance company have said they will be collecting the car on monday and taking it away, never to be seen again. How does my mate stand with removing items that he's fitted, i.e bucket seats, stereo etc? His dad is telling him that he has to leave absolutely everything in it but surely thats not the case, can someone please help? And how would he go about buying the car back off the insurance? woul that be a possibility?

Any good? the mrs is looking into getting one, has anyone owned one of these in the past? i know they get problems with the rear axel apart from that anything else they tend to suffer with?

anyone know where i can get a flexi mastic tube nozzle, ive got some akward places to silicone and a flexi nossle would be ideal

Fuming.....You would think that the Police would have more sense....or would you. :mad::mad::headvswal http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/nottinghamshire/8129826.stm

just after a quick idea of costs involved when fitting a bathroom. Wanting to fit new toilet with one of those hidden cisterns move the sink from one wall to another so its 90 degrees from where it is now. move the bath 1 metre so its further away from the outside wall. rough (very rough) idea :)

Is this right? Changing insurers anyway next month, but notified my current insurer that I'd moved house. They now tell me I have to pay an admin charge of £15. Nothing to do with the premium. Is this right? Never encountered it before. Seems like daylight robbery.

got some of this today and is absolutley awsome(especially as mines black and shows up every friggin mark) Removes swirl marks and holograms so it says on the lablel and yes indeed it does. Even quite deep ones and small scratches if you are persistant :) Had what looks like laquer damage on the bonnet and gave it a good 20 min session by hand and now is hardly visable. It's not cheap and you need to use quite a bit but then again it works and works well so a big thumbs up for this product.

Do you think it can be achieved??? All they have to do is set up the hangar that they did the moon landing in, and roberts ya mothers brother. :x::D http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20090720/tuk-apollo-11-crew-urge-mission-to-mars-6323e80.html

well just bought myself a toyota supra mk3 turbo anyone know anything about them possible mods etc as obviously its a lot slower than the 300s ive had and dont worry i will have a zed again soon just couldnt stand my seat diesel anymore

I recently bought myself an iPod so I can have a very wide range of music playing while driving (as I do a fair bit of driving around these days) So for my daily driver (Rover 220 SDi) I have an OEM radio/cassette head unit, so I simply bought a £1.99 cassette adaptor for that, which works great and has the iPod on a bracket mounted from a suctioncup on the windscreen - nice and simple, but basic! Now I would like something a little bit more intergrated for Eliza (once she is back on the road) so I've been looking at what is available on the market and have come across one of these...... It's a Harman Kardon Drive + Play. A friend of mine has got one in …

For anyone who might even be remotely interested we had Sky News in filming the simulators in operation today and it's supposedly on Sky News in the 5-7pm News Prog today (20th July) I managed to hide behind the cameraman so as not to scare you all:rofl:

Hi, My new PC main board (Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H) has a HDMI connector on the back panel. Should I be able to just plug a cable into that and then into my TV and get my PC screen on my TV? I've tried it and get nothing :( Vijay

Loved that Lotus when I was a kid, thought it was the best car ever. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/oxfordshire/8157586.stm

as header Can bitumous paint be overpainted? I am gonna use this paint to seal a problem wall in my garage. Thing is its black and need more light in there as it is. Are there any paints available (obviously not water based ones) ideally in white that can be used over the top of bitumen paint? This will be a large area no needs to be cost effective too. cheers

My wifes best friend in work has just been diagnosed :shock: Anybody else know anyone?

I got rid of the Jag. Lovely car very powerful and comfortable but in a word not very usable. The drive was too controlled if that makes sense? So I sold it then searched the net for a more practicle car. I wanted power, I wanted comfort and I wanted it to be a good family car. I also wanted manual and I wanted it to be modern / late with good looks and a bit of street cred. :D:dance: So what do you think I came up with? :confused: I was looking at spending £5000. or as near as. ................................................................ I have had it for just over 6 weeks now and I have found it to be everything I could want from the above list…

Well after a day and a half of delays i have finally reached work offshore:headvswal Stuck on the nightshift tho for the first time....not looking forward to 14nights of 12 hour shifts.lol. Get me home!!!!!!!!!

I dont normally post up about unimportant things that ive done, after all stella is the king of that :D ( sorry al) Went to chessington world of adventure today, took the boys and have to say really enjoyed it. Weather held off well, only a couple of light showers ended up with a zed full of cuddly toys :D The zoo and the sea life centre add another dimension to just thrill rides, although mostly for the younger kids it was a fun day, apart from queing ( i hate queing) Probably do Legoland on the next trip, well worth a visit for anyone who hasnt been yet.
