I had a weird dream last night.....never met stellaz but he introduced himself in my dream:rofl:.. i dreamt he bought my car for 1300 quid.......he bought it for his missus who was stunning!.....he handed over the cash but when i counted the amount it only came to about 60 quid:rofl::rofl:........i think i ate to much cheese last night.......:rofl:

Jimmer gets to work on some fantastic vehicles....just yesterday he sent me this photo of one that rolled in for an MOT. 4.8 V6 24v Turbo! Unbelievable what people will do!!

I found exactly what i was looking for for a great price. Its a 1997 Isuzu Vehicross 3.2 V6 ! Its a fresh import and has no rust what so ever, paint is imaculate. They are sporty on the road and amazing off road. As its an import i need to get as much info about the car as i can, for instance the sat nav won't work here but i want to keep the built in head unit as it has a reversing camera so i need to fins new software etc etc Its based on the SWB Isuzu Trooper so parts aren't and issue and there is a vehicross forum in the US that i've been using. I pick it up in 2 weeks :D

I just got 2 insurance quotes for the Isuzu. The protected price was £200 more than un protected. I suppose its a question of risk as to wether its worth it but i don't think its is worth another £200!!

Anyone seen this yet - my initial thoughts are that I like it. Better than an R8 for instance..........:D http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/233642/jaguars_reborn_xj220.html Richard:)

I had a meeting scheduled today with a big potential customer but yesterday he postponed it :mad: So I think, there is someone else I can schedule a meeting with at 8.30 this morning instead. I set out from Cardiff at 7.30 this morning, traffic grinds to a halt 4 miles from home as the M4 is shut due to an accident :mad:. I ring the guy to say I will be there late, maybe 10.30, an 1 1/2 later at 9.30 I am another 5 miles down the road but not past the accident, I decided to take a sneaky route and manage 5 miles in 25 minutes - a result compared to the past 2 hrs. Then a horrible noise starts coming from the engine (V6 TDi Audi A4) :mad::mad: I coast to a halt in a pu…

is it possible. looking at pictures of the z in both types it looks quite possible to do. how hard would it be to make the back cover panels that should get a few people thinking lol :hyper:

I have been watching All this Tv show's, Street Wars/Brit Cops/Night Cops etc etc, and they have shown me that we must have the largest drinking/violence culture in europe if not the world. in almost every Town/City in the UK, It's always kicking off, with piss heads just wanting to fight or attack other people for no reason, other than they are pissed and they can. I was a Doorman for many years, and I left coz I got fed up of pissed up idiots just wanting to cause bother for nothing. The social scene in this country is disgracefull. what ever happened to going out clubbing for a drink, a laugh and a dance, then walking home with a Pizza. :( [YOUTUBE]IK74B0V96eA[/…

In light of the apparent death of the new build construction industry and my subsequent loss of business, I have started the depressing process of applying for jobs. As many of you know, and some have witnessed, I am a keen valeter/detailer so this is the avenue I'm going to pursue first. I have today made two applications for quite desirable jobs in this field - so please keep your fingers crossed for me!! With positive vibes from all my forum buddies (on here and elsewhere) I might just get the result I need :D

I'm an avid cycler and in the summer months, cycle 24 miles per day to and from work. I've been doing this on a 1992 GT I Drive 4 mountain bike, and can tell you that 24 miles in nobbly tired, with full suspension that can't be locked out is hard going. So I have taken the plung and ordered myself: A Specialized, Sirrus Pro Carbon Hybrid/road race bike. Managed to pickup last years model for £999.99. Best of all, as I'm doing this on a cycle to work scheme so will save 43% (the bike will cost me £570 over the next 12 months). Now I'm not into saving the planet, don't by into the whole Global Warming business (that it's become), and am not worried abo…

Ho-Hum-roll on the weekend.......... :smw:

I work for a large housing assoc and am sort of a multi taskerm but today was priceless. I turn up at a house to replace 4 x 6x6 fence panels. Out i go to the garden and the family say "u ok with dogs" no worries, in the garden is a huge black St bernard called Dave, covered in slobber, he lets me in the garden and ive met him before, after doing 2 of the panels, get to the third only to find that something is jammed underneath it in the mud, i discover a large pink thing (the type from Ann Summers) having a chuckle to myself, the family in the house are unaware. I kick it out of the way as im not touching it, into the next door garden. Dave is snoozing on the patio. …

I got a new set of wiper blades on my car on E Bay. I think they might be too big because they hang over the edges a little, but I don't care, they work great and I would have to say that they are the only blades I have ever had that I actually like to watch working. Call me crazy, but lately I have been driving around non-stop with them on. I've even been pulled over and the cop asked to go for a ride so he could watch them work. They were outrageously expensive (being French), but safety is my main concern and like I said, they work great. Let me know if you would like a pair for your car. Details below...... …

A car has skidded off the road in eastern Germany and landed on the roof of a church. Police said the vehicle was travelling at high speed when the collision happened in Limbach-Oberfrohna on Sunday. The 23-year-old driver missed a bend in the road and drove through a railing before careering up an embankment and flying 35 metres through the air. Emergency workers had to free the man who was taken to hospital for treatment. :eek::eek: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/7851012.stm
