    Good answer, not the one I wanted but good answer anyway.

    Pulled over for my 3/4 plate...

    What about a plate that's standard height with standard spaced lettering but isn't the standard width because it a private plate with only got 5 characters. Would that be illegal?

    Movie2k - talk to me.

    Apparently it's a website from what you can watch all sorts of movies including new cinema releases. My kids have said that quite a few kids at school are using it. My questions are is it a safe website and is it legal?

    Body shops in Yorkshire

    Tony Webb in Denaby, he's done a few bits for me and always been good and reasonably priced.

    Cant trust mechanics to do a job, might as well done it my self.

    I've had a lower suspension arm bolt snap off leaving the other half in the chassis of my E36 a few years ago. The mechainic who was going the job got it out and didn't charge me full labour rate for the time he spent getting it out - top guy. As said s**t happens.

    Owners of RS Clio's who have kids..

    We managed with a 205 Gti then a 172 along side a fiat 500 for about two years with two kids, although our kids were 10 and 13 then. The amount of parafinalia you have with new borns/ toddlers is immense if had had my time again I'd have bought an estate when we had our first (sorry I know you...

    What's more important to you....

    Exactly this for me too. My cars used to be spotless both inside and out until I went self employed now I'm too busy to spend 3 hours or more on the weekend cleaning two cars inside and out. If its clean on the outside then that's good enough. Like gally said the inside dosen't get that dirty...

    did u get the colour u wanted . ?

    Same as you. All I wanted was one that was hpi clear, had fairly low miles and good service history. I looked at a few silver ones but noticed colour a difference between the paint on the plastic wings and the paint on the doors. Ended up with a black 172.....which was nice.

    Convince me to buy a Clio rather than a MG ZS 180

    Years ago I nearly bought a rover 45 as a family car due to the massive boot. I just can't get past the imagine of these MG's. A personal thing I know but round here a lot of them are chav'd up and driven by ejit's. My dad had a 25 for ten years from new and it didn't hold up well both in the...

    CAD Questions Thread?

    Right, I'm saving a drawing from AutoCAD to a landscape PDF, but when the PDF initially opens up it is portrait in orientation. The actual document is landscape in format but is always initially opens up in portrait then you have to rotate it to view it as landscape. I need to upload my...

    Am I mad? (Trophy purchase?)

    If I was you I'd sell the FRS get a Trophy, enjoy Vegas and buy a house. If you don't get on with the Trophy, sell it (doubt you'll loose any money on it). It least then you can tick the I've had a Trophy box...

    Winter tyres

    very true, the level of grip on greasy or wet roads from them is way above what normal tyres give. There's always people waiting to say we don't get enough snow to make them worth while but their ability on snow is only a small part of why I have them.

    Winter tyres

    I have them on my 3 series, they are ace (that's a technical term used in Yorkshire). I went out in my wife's 500 Abarth with normal tyres on the other day and was surprised at the difference in grip.

    Stone chips...body shop or mobile paint repair?

    I've used a local mobile cosmetic guy and he was fookin brilliant. Having said that the car was traded in so not sure how well the repair aged.

    Your dream sleeper.

    My E46 320d SE estate with a supercharged M3 engine (complete with rusty arches). can't think of a classic sleeper at the moment, may be a classic looking MK1 cortina with a high spec cosworth engine.

    A Beetle For Christmas...

    My wife used to have one albeit a green hatchback. I bought her some 18" RS4 alloys for Christmas for it....she loved getting 18" for Christmas :D. horrid cars to drive but she absolutely loved hers.

    18 years old with a modded 182 :D.

    question for all you young drivers. How do 1*2's compare to say a 1.1 206 for insurance for someone that's under 20. It's just that some of the quotes above surprise me at now low they are (£1200 for a 19 year old on a 172 for example). I'd have expected a 18/19 year old with 1*2 to struggle to...

    AA parts and garage cover?

    I've got it, had it for 18 months now. Used it once for a new starter motor on the BMW. Would have cost me £260 (fitted) for a new one, go one free thanks to AA. I think I pay about £130/year...that includes full breakdown cover as well.

    online data storage

    thought I'd resurrect this thread rather than start a new one on the same topic. I work from home (well office in garden) doing CAD drawings and currently have two portable hard drives that back my work on to. One is kept at my house (not in the office) and one is keep elsewhere and updated...

    Want.

    It'll be no offers at the moment, then £500 off and no offers, then another £500 off and absolutely no offers. Then he'll sell it for £5k if he's lucky. Nice though, but not worth that.

    My Primer Coloured Fiat 500

    do you find the hazards annoying when braking anywhere near what would be called hard....so far I don't think anyone has found a way to turn them off.

    My Primer Coloured Fiat 500

    Nice one, we've got one in the same colour but with the petal wheels, will have had ours for two years in march. Only problem we had so far is a sticking seatbelt. It's our second 500 and 5th fiat. I keep thinking of getting a TMC tuning box for ours but have't got round to it yet.

    Keep losing internet connection?

    It'll be their router or a fault on their line. We've got VM and with me working from home I notice it dropping off more than what you'd expect. The last time I had trouble with it, I rang them and when they checked our line (the whole street not just our house) had disappeared off their...

    I've just turned 153,00 miles in mine.

    most cars should be like that if serviced/looked after properly.
