Well,I asked for it....
ebays a nitemare for selling cars, when selling an old escort of mine, the guy promised me the asking price, turned up and then tried to knock me down. i had none of it. he then harrased me by phone all afternoon and evening, saying he was sorry and would give me the asking price after all. i refused to sell to him even at double the price in the end. having said that, ive bought my last 4 cars of ebay, including 2 zeds, i bid, i win, i turn up with the cash and drive away with no hassle. i must be one of the few people who actually do that

how many people have had speeding tickets?
years ago i was caught on camera in a works van. my boss refused to tell the pollice who was driving at the time , so they took him to court. as the judge was just about to fine/points him, he produced the camera pic, held the judge in contempt of court for prosecuting him, when it was clearly not him in the photo. amazingly he got away with it

how many people have had speeding tickets?
had a close call today, took it really easy on a 10 mile drive back from cardiff earlier, but couldnt resist giving it a bit of welly on the final straight home. if only i had checked my mirror before i did! blue lights followed me up the road, and i was pulled. "wot the hell was that all about "he said, desperatly trying to hide the grin from my face from the rocket propulsion i had just had, i got out and appologised. a quick breath test later (all clear amazingly) and a *****cking and i was back on the road. got caught doing 73 in a 60 zone a few months ago and am waiting to go on a speed awareness course (to avoid the 3 points). so...................... how times have we been caught speeding?

urgent alarm help
well after taking the door card off, centre console out, glove box out and the actual alarm to bits and a visit to the autoleccy out of frustration. i came in had a cuppa and a cool down. went back out with a fresh pair of eyes and saw a fuse within the cable city under the dash. changed it for a new one seeing as it had blown, and hey presto it all works perfect again! car back together sorted

urgent alarm help
not sure to be honest, i tapped in to google what i could see on the little black box under the driver side dash and the make autowatch came up. it went nuts like it before and i couldnt switch it off, this time if i put the key in ignition it stops. got it fixed by an autoleccy last time and he said it was a loose wire under the dash, so obviously that was the first thing i checked

urgent alarm help
not quite so urgent now, found a secure place to park it for the nite. really didnt want to leave it on the street unlocked all nite. i found a big hitatchi box behind the glove box, unplugged that thinking it was part of the alarm but it didnt affect it, so no idea what that is. guess its the door panel off (AGAIN) tomorrow, need to have a look at that clip anyway that manually locks the door, bound to be snapped.
-
urgent alarm help
think its an autowatch, goes off every time i set it straight away. dosent lock the doors, and i cant lock it with key cos the dam clip has broke! checked the wires in a split eye ultrasonic but they seem ok
