  1. Brosnan for me... managed to walk the fine line between being serious and keeping the humor going.
  2. just from personal experience - the Citereon C3, its like driving a blamonge thats being carried away by some ants. You don't get anywhere in a hurry no matter what you do with your feet, it'll sometimes stop on its own and it wobbles around so much that any taking of corners is more likely random chance than any driver input!
  3. Looks a good buy to me! 74k is nothing on a scooby - and the rebuild sounds like it was done purely for power reasons rather than anything else. Insurance on it will be high with that level of mods but it'll be one hell of a beast!
  4. having now read this thread all I can say is at least my initial comment back in the "Who's Who" thread seems to have paled into insignificance *phew*
  5. yeah petite is good... and I'll definately agree that curves are good! no stick insects please! all though may I add... :wrthless:
  6. Never say never but if you asked me right now I'd have to say no... not that my Octy is a BAD car - it has many, many decent qualities (although I must say that I have been very disappointed by the build quality). On the whole it has done what I bought it for and I cant grumble at the amount of car I got for my money but nine times out of ten I can probably find a car I'd rather have for my budget.
  7. change doctors... some of them are proper useless! My old one told he that he "wouldnt have event bothered strapping it" as regards my then broken colllarbone. His only advice was "not to do any heavy lifiting". Told me if I wanted a second a opinon to go to A&E so I did. They were horrified at what he had told me! Also he completely missed my Dad's (ultimately fatal) brain tumor!
  8. why stop it? sounds like a perfectly good outlet for natural suggestion to me!
  9. Speaking as someone who knows the road in question there is nowhere where it is a 30mph limit and could be considered "safe" to do 91mph in a Galaxy. He is very lucky that niether himself nor anyone else are dead. He really should be going to jail for a very long time.
  10. If you are after a nice drive or two I wouldnt go to IOM in the summer - the roads are choc-full of bikers who think they are in the TT, leads to a LOT of accidents.
  11. Got tickets for sheffield
  12. don't forget that IE7 is still Beta - hence there are quite alot of things it doesnt work with yet. Oh and don't even get me started on the security issue... Firefox has its fair share of big vulns - end of! (those of you using FF really want to get yourself upgraded to the latest!)
  13. yup.. use goggles when I'm out snowboarding, they are (ahem) Oakley A-FRAMES in carbon with gold irridium lenses. I find them fantastic at cutting out the glare without runining your vision - oh and unlike my mate's bolle goggles they have never fogged on me either!
  14. My aircon pump on my '00 Octy TDI is dead :( Essentially the clutch plate as disintegrated, being on a budget and with new pumps costing ~ £500 I've been looking on ebay and have spotted this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SEAT-TOLEDO-AIR-CON-PUMP_W0QQitemZ4632270113QQcategoryZ100918QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem being as the Tolly is another VAG car on the same platform is it likely to be the same pump as mine? what about this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-SEAT-AIR-CON-PUMP-PART-NUMBER-1HO-820-803_W0QQitemZ4632700168QQcategoryZ9889QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
