Damn..... ......you got there first - I knew I should have read on further before posting:headvswal Richard;)

Hey Athene - I'll pay to see that:bow: Seriously though - how about a forum donation to the "Athene dressed as a nun" fund??? PM me your paypal details and I'll make a contribution (in return for pics on the forum);) Richard:cool:

Hey Jay..... ......It's a long time since I've seen you on here! How's everything going mate? Richard:cool:

Macca's engine.........;)

Oh Yes..... ......amen brother:bow: Richard:p

.......he is not even as funny as toothache;)

I was thinking about the American election yesterday..... .......and you know how Americans can be a bit, well, dumb?:rolleyes: When the presidential candidates are casting their own votes, do you reckon anyone has ever voted for the other guy??:rofl: Richard:tongue:

Yup, we're a decent bunch really...........;) Richard:cool:

You're right - I'm 38 and I hate change........:rofl: And I also think you're right about the chav market. I mean, ".......Da Z ain't wicked enuf for dem, innit............:rolleyes:" Welcome to the forum buddy......... Richard:tongue:

Ditto;) I think the "txt spk" in the thread title gave it away..........:rofl: Richard:tongue: Spear-heading the campaign to retain proper English on the forum since 2003:D

That's him........:rofl: He had more hair then though:D Richard:)

I know!! A girl I worked with some years ago had a boyfriend who drove one - a "souped-up" effort painted with black Hammerite:nono: The fella in question was really proud of it as well - like it was some kind of real classic:rolleyes: Made me laugh........ Richard:tongue:

"Quartic???" Just say it as it really is, Si - and that's square!!! Any car with a square steering wheel should just be taken away and crushed;) Richard:D

I just paid 94.9 at a Shell garage in Holmer Green (near High Wycombe)..... Richard:)

So true....... ......I decided to take mine to work this morning. And what a fantastic day for going out in a ZX. I left home early; there was frost in the fields and a morning mist around Chequers (I gave our beloved Prime Minister the "salute" as I drove past:tongue:) and the sun had just risen to reveal a glorious autumn day...... ......then as I drove home the sun was just setting and the roads were nice and empty. The turbos loved the cooler air and were boosting well; in fact the Z could not have been running more perfect....... And the setting sun looked amazing reflecting off the car. Superb! Richard:)

I know........ ......that and I the fact I couldn't bear to part with mine is why I keep it. My Z has been relegated to an "occasional driver" now but each time I take it out I remember just why I don't sell it:) In fact if I ever did sell mine, I'd most likely buy another anyway........ All the best mate, Richard:)

:rofl::rofl: Richard:)

Bah humbug..........:p Best thing for me is 2 weeks off work....... ......that and getting presents or cash!!! (best thing about visiting my folks:p) I'm more looking forward to spending the week after Christmas getting waited on hand and foot in a nice hotel in Cornwall over New Year:hyper: Oh, and giving the Z a good blast down there......... Richard:cool:

Feck off........... .....real men don't even think about it until some time around December 24th.......:rofl: Richard:tongue:

I never tried that one - despite always liking the look of the XK series; driving the "normal" one was so disappointing that I never bothered. Guess I should have driven an XKR just to make sure...... .....still I do like the new version and Big JC reckons it's a good car so Tonsus is still a lucky b@stard:hyper: Richard:)

Brilliant:p Back to the question, though; only one "knock" all evening and I was in the bath (and Julia wasn;t home) so I couldn't answer the door. They are mostly small children around here and (whilst out with a parent) tend only to knock at the doors of people whom they know. My neighbours all know I'm a miserable git so there.....:mac1: Richard:cool:

You're so right Alan, That's why I try not to watch TV; it's mostly shite:( I did just enjoy "Have I Got News For You?" though; but then Julia and I have just finished some wine and a few beers............:rofl: Richard:tongue:

Nice:cool: - I do like the new XK. Much better than the sloppy old shape one; I was quite disappointed with that as I've always been a Jag fan..... Richard

Hey Neil, sorry to see you sold up mate.... .......I reckon the new owner (welcome to the forum, Andy BTW;)) got a real bargain; it looks a decent Z that went way too cheap IMO:p Don't be a stranger now that you are Z-less. Richard:cool:

That looks superb:bow: Otherwise it's pretty stock; with no stick-on nasties......;) Richard
