No probs - we'll aim for a few more around lunchtime, it is Friday after after all !

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Three couples, an elderly couple, a middle-aged couple and a young newlywed couple wanted to join a new church in their neighbourhood. The pastor said "We have special requirements for new parishioners. You must abstain from having s*x for two weeks to show will-power." The couples all agreed and came back at the end of 2 weeks. The pastor went to the elderly couple and asked, "Were you able to abstain from s*x for 2 weeks?" The old man replied... "No problem at all, Pastor". "Congratulations! Welcome to the church!" said the pastor. Then he went to the middle-aged couple and asked, "Well, were you able to abstain from s*x for 2 weeks?" The man replied, "The first week was not too bad, but the second week I had to sleep on the couch for a couple of nights. But, yes, we made it." "Congratulations. Welcome to the church!" said the pastor. The pastor then went to the newlywed couple and asked the same question, "Were you able to abstain from s*x for two weeks?" "No, pastor, we weren't able to make it", the young man replied sadly. "What happened, my son?" inquired the pastor. "Well, my wife was reaching for a can of corn on the top shelf and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and took advantage of her right there!" "You understand, of course, this means you will not be welcome in our church" said the pastor sadly. "We know." said the young man, "We're not welcome at Safeway anymore either."

Let me have that name/number!! I need my wheels done soon on my Ser 4! They are called D.M.D. Wheel Refurbishments. I don't have the blokes name (my wheels were refurbed about March last year), but the mobile number is 07818 228519 They do the refurbishments for Lexus, Audi, and a couple of other main dealers as well. Plus, they give you a years warranty with the job. :winky:

I have used the Turtle Wax Platinum stuff on the leather seats - does a really good job, pleasantly surprised. Apart from that, it's Meguiar's all the way for me. :D

B)--> QUOTE(Dr B @ Jan 26 2006, 10:43 AM) ← Hi all Sorry to ask something you've probably talked about 100* already.. Having my wheels replaced under warranty, what do you recommend to a) clean them B) prevent them corroding! Cheers. If the wheels are going to brand new, they won't need any fancy wheel cleaners which can break down the lacquer as they can be quite acidic. If you just wash them with car shampoo once a week you will find that should be enough. You can buy high polymer waxes which you just spray on, buff around and then clean off with cloths. These will create a barrier between the wheel and brake dust, and any other debris that is on the road, and more importantly this time of year - salt ! A simple one which I use is turtle wax alloy wheel cleaner (which is just a high polymer wax), which you can buy from places like Halfords - it's in a bright green bottle. Don't bother with polishes as these will contain abrasives, which in return will break down the lacquer protection for your wheels, which is important to keep with the wheel being the closest thing to the road.

OMG !! Why do you wanna go up on a pavement ? And couldn't you use your side mirrors to see how far out from a kerb you are ?

You could try what I done - ring your Lexus dealership and tell the receptionist you have already had your wheels refurbished by them, but was wondering if you could have the phone number of the company who do the refurbishments as you just have a couple of quick questions about cleaning and maintaining them to keep them in the best condition possible. If you get a receptionist like I did at Lexus Bristol - she'll be dense enough to give you the phone number. I rang the company who done the refurbishments for Lexus, and he quoted me £40 per wheel (when I had rang Lexus a couple of weeks earlier they quoted me £60 per wheel). They even come to my workplace and collected the car, took it away and refurbished the wheels, and then returned the car in the afternoon. :D

As it says on the tin - try in on an inconspicuos area first (somebody elses car). Some of these contain forms of bleaching agents. Stick to trying a dry cloth first, damp cloth second, and then if that don't work go for the interior cleaners.

They're not footprints are they fever ?? :winky: Sounds silly but have you tried just rubbing the marks with a dry cloth. I had some marks on the windscreen pillars (on the felt lining stuff), and they just come off with a clean dry cloth.

We'll see if it last longer that your whale one did Yesterday !! :D Have you read the ones in the Gold forum yet. I thought I'd post them there to be safe :winky:

No probs buddy. :) Maybe this is one of those "jokes" that Scarface needs to bin ? :winky:

Sorry if I offended you javadude, but it was just a joke

The Pope and the Queen of England are on the same stage in front of a huge crowd. Her Majesty and His Holiness, however, have seen it all before, so to make it a little more interesting, the Queen says to the Pope, "Do you know that with just one little wave of my hand I can make every English person in the crowd go wild?" He doubts it, so she shows him. Sure enough, the royal-gloved wave elicits rapture and cheering from every Englishman in the crowd. Gradually, the cheering subsudes. The Pope, not wanting to be out done by someone wearing a worse frock and hat than he, considers what he could do. "Your Majesty, that was impressive. But did you know that with just one little wave of MY hand I can make every IRISH person in the crowd go crazy with joy ? This joy will not be a momentary display like that of your subjects, but will go deep into their hearts, and they will forever speak of this day and rejoice." The Queen seriously doubts this, and says so. One little wave of your hand and ALL Irish people will rejoice forever ? Show me." So the Pope slapped the bitch

Madness, i thought the £120k would be a cheaper service, i was told bu C***S at lexus Sheffield that there were 3 catergorys A, B, C and that the 100k was the most expensive of them all. im thread hijacking here but does anyone know anywhere i could get a good service from near sheffield I thought the 60k was the most expensive ? :duh: pretty sure its the 100k cos of the cambelt mate. You're probably right - it's just that Lexus Bristol wanted approx. £700 for the 60k service (I didn't think you could possibly get any more expensive than that) :D

Try This :duh: STREEEEEWWWTHHH !!! That does look cold.......I thought it was bad this morning seeing people scraping Jack Frost off their windows. Note to self : Stop Complaining About The Frosty Mornings !!

Ditto Scarface's kinda list. I'm an RnB man - usually have those "various RnB" CD's in the car. Although I do have some Soft Soul in tray 6 for those times when I just wanna chill. Good music to Krooz to (as the IS ain't really a fast car !) :D

Confession time - I'm nicking them from a rival Car Manufacturer's Club site. If they can have a laugh at them, why shouldn't we ? :D

A guy goes to the local County Council to apply for a job. The interviewer asks him "Have you been in the service?" "Yes" he says. "I was in the Lebanon for three years." The interviewer says "That will give you extra points towards employment" and then asks, " Are you disabled in any way?" The guy says, "Yes 100%.....a mortar round exploded near me and blew my testicles off." The interviewer tells the guy, "Ok you're hired. The hours are from 8.00am to 4 .00pm. You can start tomorrow, come in at 10.00am." The guy is puzzled and asks "If the hours are from 8.00am to 4.00pm then why do you want me to come in at 10.00am" The interviewer replies "This is a council job, for the first 2 hours we sit around scratching our balls, there's no point you coming in for that".

Kris walks into his bedroom with a sheep under his arm and says, "Darling, this is the pig I have s*x with when you have a headache." His girlfriend is lying in bed and replies, "I think you'll find that's a sheep, you idiot." The man says, "I think you'll find I wasn't talking to you."

Careful Tarmac - it'll make you go blind. It's just lucky that I can touch type !!

I think it's time for Lexus to bring out a small economical car.

I'd be interested in pics of the Mustang GT you had as well - I love American Muscle Cars. :D
