I only took out insurance last week, it's with Admiral. I have always been with sky previously, but they were £300 more (with less excess I admit) but £300 is a definite saving, where as excess is only a possibility.

Ah nice to see someone else proper local! Danny is about 1 hour 15 away but literally knows these cars inside out. I stood and waited whilst he ripped mine to shreds in minutes, replaced everything necessary, found a load of faults, fixed them all on the spot, slung it all back together, we...

I do realise I've come off OK, but ginger pubes has still cost me £500 next year and will cost me more money every year for the next 5, so it's not like I've got off scott free! I realise what you're saying on the courtesy car but you must see that it was a little tongue in cheek... I'm...

Personally, I'd drive to 519. Where abouts are you? Honestly, going to Danny is worth it.

Is the rubber top bit with a nut on pinned against the turret tight?

You put that better than I did. Why use the term like for like then give me a 5dr diesel to be equal to a 2 door, 2 seat petrol? If they'd said "would you like a high quality rental" then fair enough, but his exact words were "do you require a like for like rental car" to which I said yes and...

Hardly when I'm supposed to be going on holiday in the car... I don't exactly see myself enjoy the roads in the Lakes with 5,000 RPM to play with. If mine's out before the 24th I'll be happy enough. I can't believe you genuinely think it's a something for nothing attitude though, if I'd...

Hmmmm, didn't miss the spacer from the top mount did you???

LOL! Kev, the petrol cap is on the other side, just phoned them, they'll do it cash but cannot guarantee it'll be a perfect match as it isn't going to be blended in. I said I'd be happier with a perfect cap that isn't a 1000000000% match than I am with a chipped up one! The guy knew...

I'm phoning them today to touch the filler cap up :o Great minds dear, great minds.

I'll kick up the biggest fuss known to man, but hopefully one of the insurance boys can tell us where I'd actually stand. Kind of wish I'd taken it to BMW now... there's one local too.

I just hope they do a proper job at this repair place.

The only other one I know to do as good'er job is spit and polish.

I'm not sure that's the case Ollie? They've assessed my car and are already repairing it starting today, say this took three weeks... After they're half way through my courtesy car pushes it over the 66% threshold so would they then stop and scrap my motor??? I didn't "demand" the nice car, I...

Sounds to me like tracking, although I'd check the front springs are seated properly first.

Fair effort, I wouldn't rely on the alfa getting you anywhere, ask Scrooge...

I told you yesterday ffs! I have a company that will split and refurb for £25 extra per wheel. They will refurb unsplit but no, you won't get them apart again without great difficulty. I see no problem with this as he's clearly not wanting to take them apart anyway, otherwise he'd do it...

You let the CS goodie goodies in on it! LOL! Are they really that illegal? As a kid I used to collect knives (about 15 upwards) it started when my grandad gave me an old army knife, I used to bring all sorts back through airport security just fine... Flick knives, butterfly knives...

Get a picture up, we'll identify it.

I have an equally old unit sitting around, was replaced by microsoft on warranty for RROD about 2 years ago, if you want it cheap let me know.

I didn't know flick knives were properly illegal, I may have one...

Welcome to the club. Feel free to pop along to any south east meets that are coming up. There's a lot of members around your way.

I'm sorry Kev, but that really is utter s**t, proper proper bullshit. I can understand saying that someone who has been in an accident is more likely to have another, but I have no been in an accident, someone hit a parked car for f**k sake! The fact this has happened has change NOTHING to...

Attendance list: 1) Rob 2) TheEvilGiraffe (you have no choice) 3) Wick (you haven't either) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) Once we've got an idea of numbers I'll get things rolling with what we want to do etc.

Re: Grasshopper Inn Meet, March TBD (Please Vote) Right, it's a bit further off, but with the 8th being Easter Sunday, I think the 15th of April is the best bet tbh... How are we all for that date? Weather should be nice enough too.

I've just done a new insurance quote, I only insured the Z4 a week ago, it's gone up over £500 That's a 50% increase for having a car hit mine whilst parked. Insurance companies are honestly the biggest cnuts on earth

Kev, the company that are doing it won't give me the estimate, said I have to get it off of the insurance. Insurance are saying it'll take 48 hours before they've got the engineers report so I have to wait. They'll be collecting the car tomorrow. You've hit the nail on the head there...

Re: Z4 - Perfect No More (But it's being fixed so it's all OK) I am pretty happy with it TBH (when I wrote the "bloody audi" comment I hadn't seen it yet, my mum had just told me what it was. I think there's some company's that claim a no fault claim won't affect you, so I plan to get quotes...

S'alright until you start it up
