  1. LOL Beleive it or not, there's now another 4 as well - 3 more blacks, and a silver. Think there's some PR event happening... Some sticker on the side of the cars... D.
  2. Dolpe! ... maybe she wont notice if you swapped them over... :winky:
  3. At work today... Not something you see everyday! Why cant our meets be this organised! lol Need a phone camera with a wide angel lens! Over £370k worth of car there! P.S. An no Photoshopping involved! D. :winky:
  4. As title says, Anyone got any idea how much it will cost to delivery (courier, royal mail etc.) a single 18" alloy - no tire. i.e. this one! Thanks. Derek. :)
  5. B)--> QUOTE(T7RY B @ Nov 20 2006, 03:14 AM) ← Found this link.. GS Tips Maybe of some use to you GS owners Terry Cool - not new GS btw if anyone was hoping
  6. Nice one. Get some pics posted before anyone asks! Ooops... just did... And erm, what "switches"??? D.
  7. I think the majority of Lexi have Co2 emmissions greater than 225!!! D.
  8. Alton Tower's Splash landing should be open... Basically a 95% indoor water-theme-park thing (a small part actually goes out into the freezing cold!!!). Orientated towards the younger ones though! D.
  9. Or you just pump the brake pedal! Is the brake fluid level OK? It will fluctuate depending on temperature - just make sure it is in the middle when resting/cold. You can visually see how much brake pad is left in the car, although in a 2005 I doubt it would have worn down to anything near serious!. D.
  10. Someone elses lost, is your gain! Enjoy the car mate! D. B)
  11. surely you would never think of lifting something by a thin rod! surely it cant be that complicated to just put the 4 arms (aslong as there either side of the pivot point) in and lift? surely a garage wouldn't need a manual? please correct me if im wrong. Craig The Elise - due to its short wheelbase, light weight and mid-engine, cannot be lifted by the 4-point lift on the standard jack points - it requires a very specific weight balance for that type of lift, as explained in the manual... Experienced garages would probably "know what they're" doing... for most common cars... Guess not many Elises go to this one... Well, doubt anymore will go there!
  12. Cool! Didn't know MPVs went that fast!
  13. you have the right to have it repaired, but the insurance company have the right to say where unless you can prove that it would invalidate your warranty, although most warrantys only insist work is done to the manufacturers specified standard, hence why most dealers can sub the work to local bodyshops Actually, most insurers will allow you to use the bodyshop of your choice. For example, this is Direct Line's policy: "If our approved repairers carry out the repairs, you do not need an estimate and work can start immediately. Or, you can arrange for reasonable and necessary repairs to be carried out at a repairer of your choice, as long as you give us a detailed repair estimate and full details of the incident before the work begins." That's what I thought. TBH, I think different policies have different erm, policies, regarding to the actual use/choice of repairers, loan cars etc. in the event of a claim. Check your insurance policy details to see what it says wrt getting your car repaired. D.
  14. Happy Birthday. Have a gr8 day! D. B)
  15. Holy $h1t. That's one pretty head on crash! Glad you're OK. Wonder if Aido felt anything... D.
  16. Add some more bhp by putting a couple of hamsters inside! lol
  17. Hi and welcome to LOC. I would be incredibly suprised if you didn't notice any difference! lol Seriously though, you will find the car a lot bigger to begin with - cant squeeze through gaps, or park in those little spaces anymore. As Chips said, RWD usually puts you in more risk of the back end of the car slipping out if you are to aggresive on corners! Oh, and you will have to put up with the much nicer interior, electric this that and the other, all them lights, the comfortable seats, having to find enough MP3 CDs to put in the car, decide which DVDs to leave in the car, and which ones to leave at home. Sheese. Why'd you do it! lol
  18. Hehe. Good to hear A-Plan is definately helping LOC members. hOep you asked for your Gold card discount as well! D.
  19. Not sure about Ireland... but I believe for the CD based sat nav systems, you used to be able to get (for example) the France CD, which you'd swap for the UK/GB CD currently in the drive... Try asking another dealer... D.
  20. Might be worth checking straight from the horses mouth (your local dealer) if that disk will work with your car. For a start, try comparing the serial numbers of the new disk against your current working one. There should be some similarities, with differences possibly just representing the version/date... D.
  21. Glad you're pleased with it! It does take a while to get used to a bigger car. Oh, and dont forget to change your "Lexus Model: Considering an LS 400"! :) D.
  22. Welcome to LOC Ben! What colour/spec you get? Do post a couple a pics when you get it! Just giving you a heads up as others will be sure to ask you to! :) D.
