Ouch! Unlucky! I did the same in my dad's Mondeo. Had been driving in and out the same driveway for years. Borrowed it one day and came back......CRUNCH - scuffed all the driver's-side front bumper on the drive post. I actually think I was more p1ssed off with myself than my dad being...

Can anyone make out what that web address says in the rear window?? D.

I will point and laugh if I see that on my next visit to Oldham. No need. No need at all. It's pointless, looks sh1t, and doesn't convince anybody with half an interest in cars that its a V6. Just look at the exhaust fittings, ffs? Hmmm - nice blanked-off circular holes there....:dead: D.

Well I've changed the engine oil on mine every 6k - seems a shame to neglect the 'box to a fresh can of the black stuff. Even more so if it's as easy as what Ben says! D.

You sir, are a star! :cool: D.

How much was that on top of the service, Mark? D.

Cheers Fred :)

Mine did this the other week. First I knew of it was grease flicked all over the alloy... :( The clip that holds the boot on is a crap design too. D.

Is it worth changing every couple of years? Is it worth doing at a service interval - say the 36k one? Is it a sod to change in the first place? :) D.

I would look at Mac's, going off your requirements above. If you want to stick with PC laptops, I personally prefer HP ones. They seem a good balance of performance against cost. D.

Ignore the Vee - look at that Capri! Has it got black wheels on it, too? :approve: D.

Nowt wrong with your mum, m8 - she was proper protecting your car. I can imagine if I had made an attempt to nick your car, it would have been me that would have come off the worst! ;) D.

It's a guaranteed drive past the hospital just after 12pm - especially if we have a Fat Basta*d Friday and head on over to Subway! :) Mick - Jain was saying that black gold was really rare on the '55 plate? You certainly don't see many Vees anyway - either Mk1 or Mk2, but to have a rare...

Hehehe! The Stalker strikes again, eh?! To be fair, it was Mick that PM'd me first, so I'm not entirely to blame! Anni - you would have missed me by about 10 minutes or so - those roadworks further down are causing a nightmare getting in, in the morning.... :( D.

Ah, it's in the pipeline then? I know your car had a lot less miles on it than mine, but your black gold paintwork looked amazing. It must have been well looked after by the previous owner - either that - or it didn't get out much. The one (unfortunate) thing about the BG Vees is when the...

Lol - you got back quick? Heavy right foot? ;) Good to meet you too after seeing the Cup there so many times before. I'll have to get used to looking out for a Vee now! Maybe a change of forum name is required too??? D.

I have to agree - brilliant! Just enough to make it stand out and make it very special indeed. Love the boot Hybrid badge too! :) D.

Give him that - even with the turning circle of an oil-tanker, Elvis can certainly park a Vee well.... ;) D.

Could be - though it was earlier than that, m8. It was on that road that heads into Reddish from that roundabout - with Wickes off to the side. We were in a works' Mazda-6 at the time, hence I didn't flash! ;) D.

Spotted it coming the other way through traffic. Only glanced at the plate - could have started YP55, though I'm not sure on that. It was either carrying some weight or it had been lowered too.... ;) Early afternoon today (30/7/07) D.

DOH - I think I should have posted this in the Detailing section. Could a mod move it for me? Cheers, D.

Looks good Ricky! Are you planning anything with the fog-light holes? Cooling ducts for the front discs, perhaps? How does the racing blue colour fare against the usual debris thrown up on track? It looks ultra-clean on the later pics - does it look proper grubby afterwards? ;) D.

There is a pic of him on here somewhere..... quite a few threads too! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=125114&highlight=elvis D.

Looks just right on the ride height - shame Reno didn't kick them out the factory that low to start with! Not really a fan of the tints (on any car) but everything else looks the nutts - especially the black diamond. D.

Love that side shot that includes the Ford Galaxy. Very clean and shiny! D.

You're all wrong. The unique blue paint is coated in a flatulence bacteria that releases microscopic farts when the car is under hard acceleration. Adds at least 20bhp when rolling.... ;) D.

I was at that same junction in the pic today. What time was it roughly? D.

Well, it was a great day to clean the car. A bit too good in a way as the sun was really strong. The neighbours were out so it was a good excuse to nick some of the shade on offer... ;) A decent amount of black goldage going on....:cool: However, mine was totally outclassed by...

I wish they did that as an option when I ordered my 182. I would have much preferred a sunroof than A/C... D.

ARGH! Stop making me change my mind - you're confusing me!!! :rasp: D.
