JAE 2010 North West Convoy?? add your names/idea`s
Hmm Its a possibility i might be joining you. I have an MOT booked at 8:30 - an hour thats 9:30 and its an hour to lymm so thats technically possible although it depends on how the car does at its MOT, not actually due till the end of september BUT if it fails it might need money so cost issues... And also depends if han is working (i.e if she is I can go, but if she isnt then i better hadnt... lol) Sorry for not giving an answer but if you see me there it means im coming and if you dont it means im not ;) Plus shell would really rape me for that trip! :o

Parking eye
I have had something similar in the past, sadly i was in my work van so it went to the company, they paid it and sent me the bill... grrr! So i didnt have much choice but to pay it! All done by ANPR, and I am positive there are no signs up because I have used that car park several tiems in the past when visiting a pharmacy and never had an issue.

you would be coming into northwales, which is basically northwest. As you head along the a55 onto the m56 then m6 to head south, thats the route that rest of them will be taking.

My new Nissan....
I'm told the indicator stalk is the same! LOL :)

Still not that fast
oh yeah, fast thing but my god they are a nasty car! Unusual in one way though that as standard there is no time clock would you believe. I have a friend who has one, wouldnt take it on at any point but my god is it ugly. Also chocolate gearboxs and transfer boxes apparently. So if you get chance for a re match at a set of lights it'll most likly spit 1st through the gearbox casing ;)

My new Nissan....
Well your micra and you zed share one component i believe (apart from the badge) Can you find it?!

Still not that fast
Pulsar GTI-R is a fast fast car, 240bhp as standard I think, SR20DET engine like in the 200sx but with a bigger turbo as standard. Also small and its light. Lots of these with big power as well, quite easy to get 300-400 bhp from them. 4wd as well so fantastic traction. Nissan built them to go rallying but for some reason the project was never followed through and it ended up with a handfull of Pulsar GTI-R's. Interesting as they carry a p on the front, for prince (the old premium brand nissan merged with in the 30's i think it was)

My fish tank is boring...
More like the cat is scheming how to get in there! I love it, quite like a fish tank. there is a garden centre near me that has an indoor display tank the size of a room. Almost like a seaworld aquariam thing but with BIG fish, 12-15 inches or more. Absolutly mental, although I must admit I like slick pete tend to think what if... with regards to the battering and frying!

Integra type r
Nice looking thing! Glad he's happy with it.

Save the Stig!
Doesnt matter if there was speculation in the past, I never wanted to know who he was. Infact I dont even know who ben collins is now so it doesnt really matter to me that much. Seems a shame they have to ruin a rare fun part of tv.

Bloody shop assistants
Sales staff who hound and who ignore are not good sales staff. It should be the sales persons job (heaven forbid) to gauge if the customer wants to buy, or wants to browse. I did it for several years in a local computer shop and I admit sometimes you get it wrong but by being apologetic and accomodating you can fix the situation. End of the day though in this time of austerity, any sales person should be working hard to keep customers happy - otherwise the customer will go else where and who'd have thought it they'll no longer have a job...

My New Beast :)
Cool cool, how do you find the autobox in it? Looks like there is plenty of room to work on it as well! :)

My New Beast :)
Sports car?? LOL Nice if you like that kind of thing, not for me though personally although the drivers seat is nice! I can see the appeal of 60-70's american muscle but not late 90's sorry.

Bloody shop assistants
+1 I spend alot of time in hotels and restaurants when working away, Some of the attitude and appalling service I come accross is out of this world. I remember one time, more staff than customers in a particular pub, i ordered my meal which was crap. It took 30 minutes to come it wasnt what i ordered that came, I was asked if I would like sauce i replied yes and it never came. Waited and waited for other courses and in the end brought my plates and shoved them on the bar. Dosy blonde goes "aw you dont need to do that" I replied well seeing as you're not doing it I thought I better had! As for desert, that was wrong on arrival as well. Foolishly i had paid in advance, Id have walked out long before otherwise. Never understood this tipping thing in restaurants either, and service charges they really get on my wick. I dont expect some extra money for doing my job, nor do we as a company add a certain %age on the bill to our customers for their pleasure of having us do work for them. I'm not allowed to make a fuss when im with han as she shouts at me lol. But there is no way I pay service charge when im on my own for the company and using my company credit card, not covered in my companies expenses policy ;)
