With a lady driving, coming in from oakington/cottenham way in the morning and going back in the afternoon. I was in the dirty Monaco blue one in the morning

I shouldn't have come in here, I'm already suffering withdrawal cos the mother in law is sleeping in the computering room.

my exhaust rattles like a t**t at 4k so it gets run at under 4k til it's warm and then it's not allowed under 5k until I get where I'm going. and guilt? b****cks

Phone Orange back, tell em they f**ked up (keep quiet about the handset) and demand a better deal than you got from retentions and a new handset. If it works you win lots, if not you win a free phone

All I needed to hear cheers :)

cabin filter?

my ph2 went in for a service (nigh on 80k) and im told it'll need new ARB bushes at some point soon-ish. They've quoted me £90odd for the job which doesn't sound unreasonable in the slightest - is it unreasonable for a dealer? how much do the bushes themselves cost? I'm also wondering whether...

not very often, I used to do it in the mx5 all the time but really don't feel the urge in the clio. It gets a weekly italian cos it's good for it but otherwise I just commute agressively

If I'm being specific I describe mine as a clio with a big engine and a silly bodykit - which is what it is

I bought one cos they're cheap and I'm tight - i also drive like a c*nt it's nice to see i fit a stereotype at last

unsurprised tbh, symbian's been a joke for a while now. win7 will do well in the corporate sector because Android is next to useless on a business phone and Iphones are even worse. You can't underestimate the importance of exchange integration/synching and built in office compatibility that...

okaay ph2 172, all standard with a fairly recently replaced genuine renault back bit on the exhaust... MOT time earlier in the week and my friendly MOT tester had to really, really try to get it through the emissions, it did eventually scrape through after he'd tried literally every trick in...

i just do it automatically now, there's no disadvantage to it and plenty of advantages in terms of safety and staying in control of the car.

They don't seem too bad to run compared to a lot of fast(ish)cars - or indeed normal modern(ish) cars- unless something major goes wrong. I'm lucky in that all the common big jobs were done on mine before I bought it so touch wood the biggest cost im likely to see for the next 3 years is tyres...
