If you go to apple.com and click on OS tab, on the left there is a thing called 'Boot Camp' this is a program that allows you to run a full version of Windows with no problems just like you would on any other PC or laptop. this Boot camp allows both Operating systems to work on the same computer (I don't think at the same time though, Virtual PC does, but that is for the older one's like mine but XP is a little slow on it.). OSX is basicly the same as Windows (infact it's the origional) but far better, faster,more reliable, easier to use and better looking. yes he is a bit scary when it comes to Mac's but luckily I'm with him on this, I wouldn't wan't to be against now do I?! Most Mac users are pationate about them like I'm sure you are with your Lex! :D

well I hope you enjoy her and she's not to much of a pain in the arse! :winky:

If you got a budget and are contracting, u want something reliable go for an Astra diesal or vectra or something not Alfa youll be catching the train and bus cos yr car will be in the garege 90% of the time!!! how is a vauxhall any better. go for a 320d BMW or A4 as stated above. If you like the Lex then you can easaly get a pree 2000 IS for £4k. I had a Fiat and I had no problems with it, loved it, service was cheap and dealer was nice. It's just what people have had experiance with. If you wan't the car, get the descrepency changed and buy it, I hope you enjoy it or any other as much as the Lex. :D

Totaly Agree To be honest though, when the PS3 drops to a price I can affored (willing to pay) I will get one, I had the PS2 on release date and found it to be great and never regreted it. Graphics arn't everything but it is slightly sad that the Wii has been slightly hindered by it's graphics,, I'm sure if they were a little better they would out sell every other consol because even the Die Hard graphics (PC) gamers would notice it. But one thing to note, Blue-ray player's are around £1k so for half the price you get one and the games consol thrown in free!?

LOL Get the best one you can afford. if you can afford pro go for it, whatever you get you wont be dissapointed As said before though the iMac is the best price. for the price of a Mac Book Pro you could have a 24" Daddy! there great!

Please do tell me what the difference is in looks outside of the car, physical things you can see???? 300 is better car but save those pennies each year because you'll need them for the MASSIVE ROAD TAX BILL that will be in forse I asume because of the new changes! surely the 300 must be £300 a year!? 300 is supposed to be a better car though. :D

good plan, I'll chop off my left leg and get an automatic!? :D Figures quoted are for cars after Mar 2001. This is my f :tsktsk: g point....an older IS has the same f :tsktsk: g engine spitting out the same amount of C02!! My tax is due in April to winnie, joy!!! :tsktsk: easy Kazi! just think of us that are fortunate, it may cheer you up!? :P To be fair, I hate busses but use them daily for work, they are more efficiant (spew out less CO2) per person than a car. cars carry 1-5 people buses carry upto 60ish and very rarely are they empty round here, even in the middle of the day.

Bored Now!?!

how's that the best of both worlds? you can't get a good world on a PC!?

if you avarage that in town then im sure the O2 sensor is doing it's job. If it's not broke don't fix it!

It should do that when it's programed for the locks. There is another comand list for imobiliser but its for the early cars and I don't think it works on the IS?!

prolex are indeed charging a mere £100 to get it fitted at there garage! :D you can do it yourself, alot have and the instructions are clear. good to go as soon as youve fitted all the bits, it is a genuine toyota kit after all!

what? A spanner and a tip-ex pen? there not that complicated, any GOOD garage can do it. They can only get it wrong or right, there is no inbetween. so if it doesn't drive out, then it's wrong and if it drives out it's right!? :D Craigs right, any half decent garage should be able to do. Although the car would still drive out if its not fitted correctly...just oowuldnt las that long! If the belts on wrong, the timings out, if the timing is out it won't start and chances are it will bend the valves at the first turn of the starter moter. seal is lost and so compression is lost and it's a head off job! how will it run if timing s out Kazi? :duh: or have I got this wrong?

Ive helped out in a body shop and I was shocked to see a couple of cars in there with no number plates, found out they were brand new and the valeter had reversed them into each other when preping them for colection by the customer that day. bumpers replaced and painted. I said I was gob smaked and wouldn't be happy if that was me, he replied that it so common and at least 10% of all new cars have had body work done before they are registered!

out of the 3 i think the standard size looks bad but im not sure wich looks best between yours and the bigger size. It looks very good though and well done for doing something different. :D

1/4 mile in 4.9 seconds!? fast and furious!? gob smaked!

are soles, Sorry to hear that, I hope a good result is on it's way.

It made them feel big!? Don't worrie though as they'll be spawney enough to win the lottery and then they can buy as many cars as they want to smash!? <_<

What about getting the pages printed or print them youself and then just put them in a nice folder, partners sell them for about £2.00, I put my CV's in them because they look so much better and the £2.00 is nothing compared to how much they stand out compared to others. something like this : Folder example but have a look around and there are some good ones. you could spend upto £20.00 and have a leather one with plastic windows for each page. The pages will cost £2.00 for each book, max, to have printed and the cost of the folder ontop is alot less than £450.00. just a sujestion

wow, I have a tear in my eye after reading that!? he had lots of replies to that then? :D

360 was on the motorway for most of the journey. I get circa 400 miles normaly and that can be through town but were pretty rural round here so the town isn't that big and its not full of cars bumper to bumper all the time. I am concious of the MPG needle and I do watch it. all I do is take my time don't eraticly drive as in foot on excelerator and then brake and back again. To be fair though, as much as I love the Lex it's not the most economical petrol engine, straight 6's never were, really smoth and dead quiet though. I'd love the BMW 2.5d engin dropping in the lex as I don't really like the 3 series around the same price bracket as my Lex as there basic and common.

I thort Aston Martin was the only branch of ford that was making money?

LOL! well done. looks good. "re-group and attack those starfighters"

anyone got a stocking and a sawn off shotgun?
