Damn and blast. I was driving during the match, but some of the customers were streaming the match via the bus free wifi, so I heard sections of the match. Sounds like we let everyone down by some poor kicking choices. It sounds like Ireland played very well and would have won anyway... Yet again England have proven we are useless are sport and under pressure. Congratulations to Ireland and may your celebration be better than some of the "celebrations" I saw last night...

Come on you roses... :lol:

Im free on the 7th and the 14th. No sure about the 21st yet, waiting for the rotas to be generated. I have a suspicion that I wont be free though.

Splendid specimen

Check out that headset! :lol:

My friend and I are going. If we have enough people, do we want to set up a club stand? http://www.magnificentmotors.co.uk/

I did this, all rooms/plugs in the walls are attached to a 16 port router, then into the BT hub. Its so much faster, we have the tv in the bedroom, all the comptuters, PS3 and 4, amp, projector etc all cabled. Only things on the wifi now are the phones. I have two CCTVs hard wried in too. I just ran CAT 5e cable from the cameras across the loft under the boards to the 16 port switch and all thier video is stored onto the NAS.

Dont worry about that because I am a open-booked, vaguely PC, meat loving, left wing spring chicken and I still love the trio!

I enjoyed the first episode. I think its a good show, different of course, but still enjoyable to watch. The friendship between the three seems to be working and matured, it seems they have spent more time together while filming and off camera. I do enjoy the grand tour because of the trio, but I think there is enough room on TV for both shows as they are different enough to fill the space. They are better than some show about essex celebs that I caught the end of the other day!

In my very small experience, miles are not a bad thing. The bad thing is rust. You need to check all along the sills on both side, front and back. Check the arches, especially the rear arches as Nissan didnt install liners. Check the boot floor for moisture and rust and if you can check the floor pan. Cars can rust in other places, but those are the main areas. Check the engine runs ok, no smoke, no funny noises, etc. Find out when the last timing belt change was done. One of my cars in on 209K now (a mixture of miles and KMs) but as long as you look after them they are ok. I have two cars an NA and a TT and ive only had one breakdown that was a £60 fix. *touch wood* Good luck and welcome to the forum, if you need any help just ask! P.S we need pictures :lol:

I was looking at those while looking for a Toyota 2000GT (pref in white!). I saw they are quite cheap. I was looking at a bright pink Datsun 190Y on ebay the other week that was £1000. I think ill have to just wait and save up for this instead: http://www.tornadosportscars.com/ and maybe, just maybe one day one of these... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAMBORGHINI-MURCIELAGO-ORANGE-Super-Sport-Car-Large-Wall-Canvas-Picture-AU238/232484886189?_trkparms=ao%3D1%26asc%3D43782%26meid%3D2a7eede04282412ca2e23ae11630983e%26pid%3D100705%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26%26itm%3D232484886189&_trksid=p2045573.c100705.m4780 I should point out, that is a poster of the car I want (correct colour, correct bits, wheels etc), I already have the poster and dont need another! :lol:

I was looking for a bit more boost... Sent from my TA-1012 using Tapatalk

I have never been to one before and I am curious as to how much my cars are producing. Is it expensive to test a car?

Can we delete this thread? I worked out the issue kinda... Sent from my TA-1012 using Tapatalk

I am thinking of buyinf an all singing all dancing double DIN android stereo. I would need a double DIN dash bit though. Does anyone have one going reasonably cheaply? Only ones I can find online are $300-ish. Also if anyone has some shagpile carpets...

For a second I thought you meant fly them remote control in and out. That is cool though. I've always wanted to be a pilot, dream job. Too old now really Sent from my TA-1012 using Tapatalk

I won't argue, some of my friends don't make the best decisions much like me sometimes. It's good that there are good deals out there, it just seems there are many bad ones. Much like many things in life I guess! My dad's friends wife had a vauxhall astra on finance, took it in for a service and walked out with that new convertible thing. When asked why she bought it by the husband, she said because it had a 67 plate! [emoji38] Sent from my TA-1012 using Tapatalk

Please tell me you hover them in and out of that hanger :lol:

It would stop people driving around with no tax, although I don't enjoy paying £1.18/litre... It was 72p/litre when I learnt to drive... Sent from my TA-1012 using Tapatalk

It was so much easier (and better?) when it was based on engine size. Also when it was on engine size it was loosly based on emissions anyway because 1.2L is going to give out less than a big V8. I dont understand this buying new cars thing anyway. A friend has just bought a brand new Seat Ibiza. He payed about £25K for it at something like £300/month. He is locked in for 4 years and doesnt own the car. At the end of the 4 years he has to pay something like £10,000 to buy the car. Also during the 4 years he has to get it serviced at Seat, if it goes anywhere else, there is a financial forfeit, same if he goes over his annual mileage. He still has to tax it, insure it and MOT it in the final year. To me it just seems like a con, especially as most new cars loose 20%-30% of their value when you drive them off the forecourt. All my cars I own, I own outright. If I ever get into financial problems, I can at least sell one (The wifes TT ofcourse, the Nissans would never get sold!) When I learnt to drive you bought a cheap crappy car, one because the insurance was high, two because if you crashed it (we all do when we are young) it didnt matter. Maybe I am missing something but everyone seems to want/need/have a new car on the latest year plate (or a personal plate). A girl at work said she NEEDED a new Corsa VXR. She pays £359/month and her insurance, get this, is £2900 :wacko: She is on a 4 day rota, but works 6 days to pay for the car! I know I got side tracked here, but to me it makes more sense to buy an old car (pre tax changes 2002-ish) cheaper tax, less money to buy as in you can buy it and own it yourself as an asset and as long as its maintained properly, it wont break down regulary. My black nissan is on 209K (admittedly a mixture of KMs and Miles) but in the 3 years I have owned it, its broken down once...in france....and took 3 weeks for it to come back.....but thats what the AA are for! I drove 45K miles last year and it always seems to be new cars at the side of the road awaiting rescue. Can someone shed some light on this? Is it easier to have a dealer car? Services are better? At the end of the 4 years are you paying less than if you bought the car with cash? I dont understand why people do it? To me it makes more sense to take out a loan, buy the car and repay the loan. At least you own the car outright. Even better, get a loan, buy a 2nd hand one with 10K on the clock from AVIS and you will save 1000s...

Also the high tax is for the first year that the car is on the road, then drops down I believe. The Example I saw was a new range rover would be over £2000 for the first year then £700 something onwards

We have yet to have kids, trying, but no luck yet. However after what I have seen on my buses I wonder why people want them sometimes...I also wonder why some people are allowed to have them! I also should add that anything by Justin beiber needs to be on this list/thread! Sent from my TA-1012 using Tapatalk
