  1. Well, none off us can be that stupid - we all bought Lexus !!
  2. ScarFace, Dunno why, but I thought you'd be more intelligent than that ! :D :P PS. note how I'm posting this now that I've got MY results
  3. That geek on Fleabay must have advertised it wrong then. He/she put the Y plate one on there as a 2.7 litre !! Good job I AIN'T going to but from that person. :winky: How long do you reckon the 3.2 litre engine would last if I do 2 1/2 miles to work (approx. 4000 miles per year) ? I could buy the car, we'll do a group poll on this site as to how long you all reckon the engine will last, and the one who is the furthest away gets to pay for the replacement engine !
  4. Do you really want to be known as the "Thinking Man's Crumpet"? Si Good point - I'll pass on that one !!

  6. Cheat !! Just remember Si, nobody likes a smartass :P
  7. What's the answer to the first question ???!?!? :duh: :duh:
  8. Was he a goalie, or a player ? It's just when somebody says he could dive, I don't know which one they're referring to.
  9. Hey Bazza, it wouldn't be just the fact that she likes "yellow"
  10. There's a Y plate on Fleabay for just over 15k - seems a bit odd though as there are w and x reg's on there for 17k plus. Only prob for me is that they're 2.7 litre which considering the fact that I only live 2 1/2 miles from work is pretty pointless. The insurance is pretty good though, it's about the same as an Audi TT. Well, it's a Lambretta plus hiring a car when needed, then? B) There's no way I could look out at that Porsche every day, knowing that I'll be going to work on a Lambretta !! :winky: Reverse 'cool' you know!! Remember Jurgen Klinsmann? Turning up to Tottingham in a Beetle, amidst all the flash-mobiles? B) ;) Jurgen Klinsmann ?? Isn't he that sad bloke who turned up in a Beetle amidst all the...... Ooops sorry, it looks like you already put what I was thinking.
  11. Just make sure that any scratches can be covered by the new plate !

  13. Erm......I'm only guessing on the white spirit, but I'd imagine it would be okay. I think I'd have a really close look first though, cuz any stone chips nearby and the white spirit could get beneath the lacquer and damage the paintwork. Personally I would try some normal car shampoo and warm water first, see how much you can remove with this, and then probably move to trying something like a window cleaner spray - we used to use this to remove bugs on Mercs when I worked there. It's a matter of spray on, wipe off though ! If this works, then give it a final polish to remove any tacky build-up, but don't bother waxing as you want the new plates to stick. Just another thought - what about any cotton thread instead of fishing line ?
  14. They should just peel off if you heat it up enough, but fishing line will make an easier cut for you. What about dental floss ?? That should do the same thing. Just remember that you may have to use some stuff to help you remove the sticky pads. I can't think at the mo of what to recommend, but you can actually buy stuff to remove adhesive pads. I'm wondering if something like vinegar would do it ?!?

  16. I haven't had a look at the plates, but if they are stuck on I'd imagine sliding a fishing line behind the plate would be one way to take them off. If you've got a hairdryer couldn't you gently heat up the area to reduce the stickyness of the pads before using the fishing line ? Maybe others have better ideas ?
  17. Sh......t !! My pacemaker just when on hyperdrive !!
  18. Subject: Unpublished letters to the editor 'Alton Towers - Where the magic never ends', or so the commercial says. Imagine my disappointment when it closed at 7.30. EJ Thribb, Luton I am married to a Taiwanese lady, and people often ask me if she was a mail-order bride. I find this very insensitive. The Royal Mail lose around 2 million letters and parcels each year, and to suggest that I would trust the delivery of my wife to them is insulting in the extreme. She was sent by DHL, guaranteed next day delivery. L Palmer, London Peter Andre might look smug in all his wedding pictures, but I'd just like to remind him that, as a Playboy reader, I have seen his wife's minge. He hasn't seen my wife's, so who's had the last laugh? P, Leeds It really annoys me to see these suicide bombers blowing up people as well as themselves. In my day, suicide was done in a more dignified way, such as slicing your wrists in the bath, or hanging yourself from a door with a belt. Paul Mulraney, Belfast On holiday a few years back, I took part in a quiz and managed to reach the final only to lose out after what I consider to this day, to be a correct answer. The question asked 'What 'C' would you associate Jeremy Clarkson with?' to which I confidently replied '<unt'. Not only was I told the answer was incorrect, but I was asked by the holiday rep to leave the premises immediately. Has anyone else experienced such appalling treatment whilst holidaying with one's family? Noel, Leeds My friend's mum recently pointed out that I have the same ironing board cover as her. Can anyone think of a more mundane and pointless remark to make than this? Alun, Swansea. I'LL never understand my neighbour. He has recently started wheel-clamping his own caravan when he finds he has inadvertently parked it in his own drive! I wonder if he is a sadist, a masochist or both. Alan Thakray Did anyone else feel that Mel Gibson's remake of the classic Life of Brian wasn't anywhere near as funny as the original? Derek M, Dover On the BBC website, I read with interest that some scientists in Australia have discovered the smallest fish known to exist. They've obviously never been to the Britannia Chippy on the Gloucester Road. Alan J., London I was extremely saddened to hear of Richard Whiteley's recent death. But I was cheered to imagine his life support machine making the famous Countdown "da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da! Booooooo!" sound as he took his final breaths. Carol, London I never worry about the destination when I'm going on holiday. My dad is Iranian and my mum is Irish, so I spend most of the time in customs. Stan What's all this nonsense about that 66-year-old Romanian woman being the world's oldest mum? My mum's 77. Beat that. Thomas J
  19. A couple of girls who I used to work with had a Saxo. One had the VTS, the other had the VTR. They didn't seem too bad - apart from being French (sorry to all our French people out there - I'm just not a fan of French cars. Way to much plastic for my liking). The handbrake is extremely wobbly. I don't know if this is a fault or not, it just didn't seem right. If you do look at the VTR or VTS check the wheel arch extensions on them, as they are stuck on and sometimes not very well, which can cause leaks. I honestly can't think of any other faults they had.
  20. For F---'s sake !! What is it with these knobheads ? Do you wanna give us the registration, and we can all keep our eyes and ears open ?
  21. Hey Pip - I can see that violent video games don't affect YOUR temperament at all !
