:d good luck carl, and may she treat you as well as she treated me, lots of people here had nightmares in my 4 years of ownership, she never really skipped a beat past most normal maintenance thingys. i'll still be around in my golf, forum means a lot more to me than just the car, I told carl you guys will treat him right and the place isn't really that cliquey, everyone face to face seems to get on fine :).

Redline have done majority of work on mine, the traders on the forum are good also if you want to venture out of essex, if you go to redline say groves says hi and his car is gone :(

New Car
i've probably chosen the first right car in my life :), cheap to run, no worry parking it anywhere, should go forever and not cost me a fortune. 6 years of RWD cars, that cost a fortune to keep on the road has taken its toll, it will be nice to drive around unstressed :), i only really drive to station anyway, thats mainly why i decided to sell zed, it doesnt get the runs it loved, going to JAE and back was awesome, but not being able to do that regulary made me think whats the point?

New Car
So replaced the zed this weekend, went around looking pissed off at crappy clios, fiestas and focus's for 3-5k thinking what the hell had I done, saw something I liked though and ended u going to south london to pick one up from the russian mob, N reg VW Golf 1.8, 70,000 miles, and not very expensive, it handles quite well and it is a good come down car :), nearly went for a GTI but sense kicked in (well was forced into back of my head) and went for something a bit more normal, 32mpg squeals around roundabouts and is quite comfy at 90mph, thats me sorted for 12 months :D. It's blue also,

So where is your zed Rusting?
hah i was in a light aircraft once that was burning a lot of oil, he said it was a good thing because it stopped bit of the plane seizing up :) I wasnt happy when we landed after an hour and he pulled the dipstick out to show it below the safety level and just went "hmm doesnt usually burn that much"

Wikipedia on the zed

NZR - Home air coolers
BTW typical Brit, 3 days of hot weather and mad rush for aircon ;) but aircon is nice, i often put mine on in the winter because I like the freshness, and whatever you get clean it every 6 months with a car air con cleaning spray, or it could make you ill.

i have a unit next to my bed cost me £200 TBH, it is too noisy, and I would happily spend the £500 on a split unit if i could route the pipes in correctly.

Was the ref right in sending Rooney off?
football is turning into a joke, they have cameras so start dishing out bans after the game for diving, even Terry Henry is doing it did anyone see the Germans and argies having a ruck after the game? punches and pushing and not one player grabbed his face and flung himself to the ground, Rugby has it right, mic up the ref and make him explain his decisions. but those thick gobshite footballers wouldn't be able to stop swearing or understand the ref.

I was thinkin...
I think they will insure men, because they have to, but they don't need to give them a good price insurance is total sex discrimination :D, but I'm prepared to pay a bit more on my insurance if it means I don't have to iron :D
