I don't have a second car and I think I need one. I looked at the answers you all gave to my 'Do you have a 2nd car?' thread, but got no inspiration. I need a reliable 4 seater for when I pick up my kids once a fortnight, the rest of the time it can be a bit of fun. Only want to spend a grand on it - as it's just a run around. I was thinking maybe a Suzuki swift Gti or a Peugeot 205 1.9 Gti Waddya think? any other suggestions?

for my mum she loses/breaks them all the time so I want a 2nd hand one if necessary under £50. basically it must have a large colour screen (her eyes arent what they used to be) and prefer a camera. thats it really not bothered about slide/flip etc just a large screen. most phone sI see now have real small screens - once I know some models I can check out fleabay thanks

Wondering if anyone on here is a builder/architect?. Ive just had an extension built, but want to create a new opening, possibly a door through one of the new block walls. Below are pics of the wall where the opening will be, eitherside and a close up of the blocks. Questions I have, how far away from the external wall (with windows on) do I have to come away from before I can open up the block work. Also, is there any regulations on how wide an opening/door should be. Thanks in advance Barry

How the hell do these come out??? (The car is a 2002 52 reg Elegance.) Need to replace the offside one due to a birdstrike :rofl: All the manual says for bulb replacement is "Take it to a Vauxhall dealer" :mac1: All help gratefully received. Cheerz Phil

Just wondering how many metalheads we have here?

A nun is sitting with her Mother Superior chatting. "I used some horrible language this week and feel absolutely terrible about it." "When did you use this awful language?" asks the elder. "Well, I was golfing and hit an incredible drive that looked like it was going to go over 200 yards, but it struck a phone line that is hanging over the fairway and fell straight down to the ground after going only about 100 yards." "Is that when you swore?" "No, Mother," says the nun. "After that, a squirrel ran out of the bushes and grabbed my ball in its mouth and began to run away." "Is THAT when you swore?" asks the Mother Superior again. …

Just got this.... :nana2: It's actually very good. Those old group C cars were pretty handy tools, not a huge amount of power, but quite high downforce. Coner speeds of the day (1983) Anyone interested in me ripping the Nurburgring Nordshleife and old Le Mans (no chicaines 240+mph) and uploading to Bagpuss? Nurburgring lap is 6:41, apparently the 5th fastest lap ever around there! :shock: :bow: :dance:

Purple Ronnie has a new partner in crime lol Spotted this on autotrader last night and went to view this morning and came back with it it was that good a buy! 1996, Scorpio Ultima 2.3 16v 150bhp, 85k, Full Serice History, 1 Owner from new, Never washed in a car wash and he cost me the almighty sum of...... 1200 squid :D Got to tax him next week but until then i'm going to work on polishing up the engine bay. Drives a treat, ever so quiet and all the toys are great. Dual climate control, points the side view mirrors down to the ground in reverse to help parking, auto dipping rear view mirror, cruise control, trip computer, 6 disc autochanger, etc etc. …

sporty yet practicle for the wife, budget is around the 4k mark any suggestions? i keep looking towards the MERCEDES C36 AMG, has anyone got experience of owning one? she does maybe 40 motorway miles a day so fuel consumption is a factor but not a huge one. ;)

This is a very powerfull 4x4 going up a hill in Iceland.
