If it's dodgy, don't go. There's loads of other great places or wait till it's ok for this trip then go. If it all turned to sh1t, it could get really nasty. Hope you haven't had a load of expensive jabs that won't last - should be ok most do last. Look at the places the Home Office says are ok - I wouldn't go near some of them so if this is on their 'don't travel' list, there's a reason.

The 850 might be a real bar stard if it goes wrong. 6 cylinders expensive, 8 more so but 12? I'd only get either if I was (very) good with cars or there was a decent independent BMW specialist near me who knew the 8 series.

Hail the Shrimpmeister - he knows the score! :bow: The Z auto box is excellent.

I'd love one. MAybe less sporty that the Zed but more pimping.

There's people (me included) who'd come round to where the car is with their standard wheels, give you several hundred quid and swop them for your wheels. No grief, no dirty hands - just money - got to be worth a thought.

oops sorry - just saw the other thread - glad it's gone ok!

No worries - how is the leg now mate? Did it go ok at the hospital?

You might find plenty of people who'd swop their standard wheels plus cash for your 17s.

Withnail & I Not really a road film but there's the bits in that old Jag. 'GET IN THE BACK OF THE VAN!' Also Dumb and Dumber - very important work. Great music including 'New Age Girl' by Dead Eye Dick.

The list is fooked up now due to people not copying and pasting the most recent one.

I shouldn't have moaned really - it's the thought that counts and I'm sure he'll be pleased.

Have to say putting money directly into somone's bank account isn't exactly my idea of a 'get well present' but paid by paypal anyway. 1. billynomates (paid via paypal) 2. mowgs (paying end of month) 3. deve8uk 4. bantambunny 5. takemetothepub 6.

I'm quite up for entering other people's wives. Not all at the same time, mind.

I bet you'd be looking at £5K odd unless you do lots of work yourself. Nitrous could be the answer?

When I start my car there's a squal of belts. I've ben told I need to tighted the aancilary belts. Can anyone tell me how to do this or know if there's a how-to anywhere? Cheers gents!

Damn - glad no-one was hurt. You must be a bit shaken up mate. I remember you've posted a few threads recently about your car needing rather a lot of work doing, including the brakes - it might be an idea to get rid of them (and this post and / or thread ).

I'm in. Halfords (supposedly) have Garmin Quest on offer for £149.99 (half price?) - just to muddy the waters a little more!

Bad ones are bad, good ones are good. Has the cambelt service been done (due at 60,000 miles)?

Wide arch = wide boy! :tongue:

Good luck Rich - hope it all goes well - I still need someone to show me how to wheelie properly!

Andy Z is reasonably near you (Thetford) - he'd know better than most. I'd ask him. I think he's a listed trader. If it's got nice extras (wheels, exhaust etc) they're good sellers.

Yes, that was it.

Welcome back mate. Got any pics of the car? It sounds great.

What a foul-up. Incompetence at the DVLA. Hope you get it sorted mate.
