Dedders

Thanks for all of the advice it's appreciated

To clarify we do agree and ultimately we will do what we want, my partner, her feelings and wishes will always come first over anybody else and I would do anything for her. . It's more around how to deal with upset and hurt family I suppose.

A bit of an odd one for a car forum but I thought I would ask for opinions. My partner and I recently got engaged and are now thinking about when and how to get married. Neither of us are really interested in a big do and would hate all the attention that goes with a traditional type of wedding. Her parents eloped to get married and we thought that this would be a good idea as well. Her parents would be absolutely fine with this and even suggested it to us, however my parents are a different matter and my Mother has made it abundantly clear that she wants to be there and would be incredibly hurt if she wasn't. I can see both sides and I'm not sure what the answer is, my partner is angry about my mothers reaction and can't see what the issue is. Really what I am after is who has eloped and who had a traditional type of wedding and how they went Thanks Dedders

2013 mk3 Octavia VRS DSG TDI estate first registered October 2013. I purchased this car new from a Skoda main dealer and I'm the only registered keeper. Just under 22500 miles, first serviced October 2014 and second service October 2015 both on a fixed service schedule at a Skoda main dealer. Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres fitted all round with good tread on them. White with the following options: Black pack Columbus Sat Nav Canton Sound system Park assist Kessy Heated windscreen Heated front seats Variable boot floor Sunset glass Spare wheel Rear bumper protector Cruise control Overall the car is in good condition, several of the wheels have slight kerbing on them. (See photos) There is also a small dent (less than the size of a finger nail see photo) on the rear near side wheel arch where someone opened their door into it but otherwise it is in good condition. There is finance on the vehicle but it will be cleared prior to purchase. Please pm me for further details or any questions. £16500. The car is located in Camberley Surrey.

They have announced the official line up this morning http://www.topgear.com/car-news/top-gear-tv/meet-your-new-top-gear-presenters

Just seen that the last Top Gear reasonably priced car is for sale on EBay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/231786726259 Odd that it has Sat Nav fitted when it was just going to spend its life on a track. I wonder what someone's willing to pay for it?

So will you be able to let your new car drive itself? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-34535604

So because it's cheaper than the almighty Golf that can do no wrong you think that they don't have faith in their product. Maybe they just don't want to rip their customers off and and want to sell the car at a fair price. I really think it's about time you took your blinkers off about the Golf just because you think it's the best car ever doesn't mean everyone else has to. It would be nice to see a post occasionally that doesn't end up with you just saying how much you love Golfs and that they are better than everything else.

Well having not played with Lego for about 20 years when I was about 12 I decided to give it a go again after speaking with a friend who was going on about it. I think I was a bit ambitious with my first go but I completed it tonight. It's even remote controlled, Lego has certainly got more complicated than I remember! It was great fun I've just got to decide what to get next!!

I've got a Fitbit Surge and I think it's brilliant. It tracks heartbeat, steps, calories, stairs and miles walked. In addition you can tell it what type of exercise you are doing and it will monitor that as well. It uses gps to track you position and then gives you the speed you covered the previous mile and then a final report when you have finished. In relation to the heartbeat monitor when I have checked it manually it seems accurate to me. All the data syncs with the iPhone app and gives you all sorts of graphs to look at. I wear mine permanently and only ever take it off to charge it etc.

In this picture you are parked next to my brother!! (The one with the blue wheels)

Thank you for that I really appreciate it.

I'm really interested in getting an electric vehicle mainly inspired by your updates on this thread. I've been and test driven the Leaf and I'm trying to find a Kia dealer that can help with the Soul. I hope you don't mind me asking but roughly how much does it cost to charge at home overnight? Thanks.

They do have some standards!

If the BBC did that they would lose 90% of the worldwide audience and the reputed £50 million it brings in to them every year.

I just wondered what unusual cars people have seen out on the road recently? This morning I saw 2 DeLorean's on the M3 travelling together from junction 6 towards 5. Unfortunately I was going the other way so I wasn't able to get a picture but it's the first time I've ever seen one on the road let alone two.

The mk1 RS was exactly that 4501 (each individually numbered) made worldwide with bespoke parts and a wider track that meant it couldn't be made on the standard production line. Ford also lost money on every one they made due to the parts used.

I saw a BMW I8 in black this morning it looked really smart.
