LOL - I believe the new forum software is programed to do that; just to stop post whorring....... ......it makes the mods' lives easier so they don't have to merge your posts....:tt2:

Nooo - don't do it Jane!! You need a sound reliable car for placements remember!! The RX8 will cost you dear in the first week....... .......if you still fancy a convertible or sports car or something exciting from Japan, try and find a sound MX5 Mk1 instead...!! You still have your Mitsi for family journeys..... Richard:pinch:

Very true Brian - just like a 300zx........ .....but yes; any high end car that reaches 10 years old plus still comes with high end running costs, even if the purchase price is peanuts now. I could concur there. Julia bought one brand new back in 1996 - a 1.0 Hollywood in girly blue - and it only sipped petrol. Plus (and to this day no-one believes me but my best mate will corroborate it) he and I were at the NEC visiting the classic car show back in 1998 when his wife's father was rushed to hospital having suffered a heart attack. So we left (in the Micra) in a hurry and covered the journey to my house in an hour!!! He told his mrs how we got back so quickly and she was not surprised; assuming we were in my (then) Supra. Then he dropped the bomb-shell that we did it in a 1.0 Micra and she just laughed in disbelief. Julia believed me though - but I still got a b0ll0king for thrashing her car!!! Richard:innocent:

Yes you do, you filthy post whore...... .....but we would not have you any other way Mark!! Congrats on your 6k - now here's to your next 4 to make the big 10-0.......!! Richard:tt2:

I agree mate....... Richard:helpsmilie:

That's the option I would go for...... .......good luck with whatever you decide mate; as Voddy says, if your car is sound and only owes you £550, then you have nothing to lose by going down the engine swap route! Richard:cool3:

Me too........

Nice pics Frazer - and thanks for your support mate!! Richard:cool3:

LOL - now you're definitely taking the piss Roo.......:tt2:

Don't know Dave - I was just hoping I hadn't missed something good....:drool:

LOL - I'd say that's even easier...... You can say what you like as he'll never ask you again!!

Hi Mick, I have not dealt with them myself - but I have done a search on the compay at Companies House for you. I'm afraid I cannot post my comments on an open forum (read into that what you will) but I'll drop you an e-mail to the address in your profile...... Richard

And there was me thinking you were giving us the heads up about scantily clad girls wrestling in some kind of jelly-like substance.....:innocent:

Noooooo - not again Jane!!! You have, let's say, a jaded history with reasonably priced second hand cars......:tt2: Good luck in what ever you decide on though; I believe that Golfs are normally solid, reliable cars. So (please) just be careful not to buy the only one that isn't.....!! Richard:oops:

Oooh about time - I was wondering when (if, even) it would be back!! Thanks for posting that mate - have some rep!! Richard:chef:

Seconded - it is indeed gestures like this that make the club a great place to be involved with!! Nice one Rolandas; you're a credit to this place my friend!! Richard:cool3:

I agree - nice work matey!! Richard:cool3:

That's the best you're gonna get I'd say........:helpsmilie:

Sorry to see that Andy - and until I'd read Gaz's link, I'd have had no idea why/how that could happen if your car has not been painted recently....! Richard:helpsmilie:

LOL - about time by the sound of it mate!! Richard:tt2:

Welcome to the club James!! Richard:sorcerer:

Welcome to the cub my friend - and good luck in your search for a new car...... .....you know what the right choice is!! Richard:innocent:

A belated happy birthday mate!! Richard:oops:

Many happy returns from me - wherever you are mate!!

LOL - welcome back Jimmy....... ......don't tell me you returned just to plug your new album though. I thought you'd actually missed us all - especially as we've just been killing time until you came back.....!!! Richard:innocent::tt2:
