im sure its still goes down on mot as year of manufacturer, hence maybe why you now have to take log book for mot. could be wrong though. at the end of the day its a 57, not an 81. they cant really change that.

as far as im aware. for mot in the uk, if a car was factory made with such items then it had to have them, if not, then it doesnt.

umm. believe it or not, ive not had the tv on for nearly 3 months, theres only the kids had theirs on in the rooms. must say though, ive not missed it.

ah well. looks like im on my own this weekend then. ive got rid of the wife and one of the kids so far for till sunday. :bow: :D

i used to get it a lot using I.E. i changed my browser to firefox. not had a problem since.

it also comes with a health warning, why ?. does it smoke !! if so, you cant drive it after 1/7/07. :D

so, the button mill inn. what time is best for both of you ? i can make it any time.

tbh i dont even think the government know. nothing new there :D P.S. sarah. check the meet thread, see what you think. :D

this government has a lot to answer for, they are fookin the country up. no wonder so many british are moving abroad. heres a few examples. 1) latest one. banning smoking in pubs. i dont think they have realised what they will do to certain country pubs when the winter comes. how many pubs will have to close due to lack of revenue ?, how many jobs will be lost ?, what will the government slap more tax on to account for the loss ?. the mind boggles. 2) 4x4 tax £400. LMFAO. they will kill the sales of new 4x4s. more jobs lost. 3) banned handguns. they did this due to public demand over dunblain. yes, it was an awful thing to happen, but what good has banning them done ? NOTHING. in fact, its made the situation worse. theres more shootings now than ever before, plus they spoilt a hobby for 1000s of people. makes my blood boil. will leave you with those for now.

i too hope they find her, but what the parents did was down right irresponsible, and to think think that they are both in the medical field as well. they should have known better.

i keep hoping mate. she is now at the age where she may be asking questions, i dont know. the only thing i do know is that her adoptive parents lived in rotherham somewhere at the time. they may have moved now though. cards have been sent by me and my parents, for her birthdays and at christmas every year. we had to send them to a social services address, they said she would recieve them all on her 16th birthday. i just hope that she has got them all otherwise i will be kicking off big time if i find out she hasnt. i only wish i could find out the adoptive parents surname from somewhere. anyway. thats 2 things we have in common carl. zeds and kids.

thank you sarah, 300zx girl. it does go to show though, not in all cases. that its not always the biological parents fault. i too hate the social services. i found out a few months later that the social services representative who used to pick her up, went off work sick, never to return to his job. i did make myself a promise though, if i ever see him again, i will knock him flat on his arse for what he did. unfortunately ive not bumped into him yet, maybe one day.

there are things in this thread that are making it very difficult for me to reply to & read, but heres my situation. i have a daughter to another woman, not my wife, who was adopted when she was 7 and now 17. i dont want to go into too much detail on a public forum but to cut it short. she was with her mother till an incident happened with her newborn to someone else. the social services got involved and ended up removing the kids from her and put them in a foster home. i went through court and got custody of her after a very long battle. she moved in with me, the wife and my other 2 daughters. the social services used to pick her up once a week and take her to a foster home where her mother visited her, under supervision. when she returned home she was in a right state, this happened for weeks and weeks. i thought it was just the way she was and a bit hypo from sweets ect. anyway, one day she came home from her mother, she pooed on the floor in the bedroom, wiped it all over the place, i went mad and smacked her, some of you do gooders may no agree with that, but that was the way us older ones were brought up & it never did us any harm. carrying on, i left a slight hand mark on her bum. i then rang the social services person who picked her up every week and told him what had happened. i was upfront and honest about it. he came round immediately and all hell broke loose. he took her straight to the hospital for examination with me present. afterwards he said she was now removed from my care and took her back to the foster home. eventually after a few weeks of talks, the doctors involved, the nspcc was on my side and wanted me to take her back. i said i would have her back, but under my rules and not the social services, the social services was having none of it. after a lot of heartache and sleepless nights, i decided that the best thing for my daughter, and to get her out of the social services care, i requested she was put up for adoption on the understanding the social services left her alone. they refused, so i took it to court with the backing of the doctors and nspcc and won her the right to be left in peace. theres not a day goes by i dont think about her, whats shes doing, how shes gone on in school, ect, but i hope one day we will find each other. i still dont know to this day whether i did the right thing or not, i just did what i thought was best for her at the time. it was a very emotional and hard decision to make. i have kept hold of all the paperwork so she can read through it, then she will see the truth about what happened. i need a very very stiff drink now, and this is the very short version of events.

asked around and the mother in law has come up with one (button mill inn). the top one of this link. theres also a few others on there if you know any. http://www.pubsulike.co.uk/newps/SouthYorkshirecp.asp?Town=Barnsley

eddie needham (bens grandfather) is a very good freind of mine. it was a very traumatising time even for close freinds. i actually had ben and his grandparents in my car 2 days before they moved abroad. they are originally from sheffield, moved to lincolnshire, then to greece, then back to sheffield where they still are today. theres a few members of the close family who have had breakdowns over it, on more than one occation for some. i know they will never give up searching.

will do. and i wont, not sure about sarah though. :D

its down to personal preferance really. both auto and manual boxes have issues which is stated in a few threads on the forum. i went for a manual as i think you have more control over the car, but this is my opinion. go for what you prefer as you may end up regretting it in the end.

this was one of my favourites when i was younger, still a pretty good film now. not everyones taste though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzkHDE5ahRo

bullitt - steve mcqueen. classic or another classic, guess from the famous line "your only supposed to blow the bloody doors off".

its very easy to make up and fit, its just the price of 2 units, which are roughly £15-20 each. you only need the 2 door version one though.

personally, i dont like it. plus its deffo not worth that sort of money.

to be able to do it you need some sort of timed unit like possibly a total window relay. this senses the resistance when the window gets to the top & shuts itself off. you would need 2 units though as one would have to work on a switched positive for open & the other to run of a switched negative to close. both the pos & neg come from the ign switch.

oh dear. im still on the fags but dont drink much. anyway, see what you can come up with. i will ask around as well.
