You have no contract for the car, you have an agreement for a deposit, the penalty for breaking that agreement is to give the deposit back to you. Simples.

Bumwash. With the wall already there, sight lines would not be an issue, but building in front of the house can often be contentious. Only way to be sure is to download the PLanning Enquiry Form from your local councils website and send it back with the usual £60 fee. They will tell you if you need to make a full application, plus you can then phone the officer for a bit of a chat. PS, the best way to get results is to go in hard, tell him / her they are red-tape spewing scum and that you pay their wages through your council tax and that your home is your castle. You'll have them eating out of your hand and no mistake.

Eh? I typed and posted a response, where it go?

Is it paraffin? But at £40 a litre?

Well, Honest John made a couple of interesting points about this. A) just like removing the cat inbetween MOTs, it does render the car an MOT fail which could be picked up ina roadside stop-test, and B) emissions will increase and since you are paying VED for a lower emission rated car than the one you actually own, now you have removed the filter, that is technically fraud/tax evasion. Hello Customs Officers.

Ok fair point. Here is the Law...http://www.direct.gov.uk/prod_consum_dg/groups/dg_digitalassets/@dg/@en/documents/digitalasset/dg_070561.pdf Particularly Abz says If it were not a light controlled roundabout, would it still be acceptable to enter it at 40mph without really checking if the right-hand way is clear? Not really, it would be highly dangerous and the driver would cetainly be at fault for not giving way to the right on a roundabout if there was a collison. What's different here if course is that its a light-controlled roundabout, so Abz has right of way. However, we all remember the saying about putting "At least I had Right of Way" on your headstone. He has right of way, but with due regard to the note above in the Highway Code, and not forgetting that emergency vehicles also have right of way and can pass through red lights Now I understand that we all take a green light at face value, despite what I said, I don't always fully check 100% of the time. Sometimes it slips my mind, but thats me. Its your life in your hands, if you want to breeze through, safe in the knowledge that no other car driver is going to jump the lights, or a copper isn't going to come hareing through, you take that risk, but don't do it if I'm a passenger. Similarly, if you've called the police because someone is breaking into your house or assaulting your wife and kids, you want them there pretty damn quick, and you certainly don't want some idiot to step off the kerb without looking and destroy the cop car that's en-route to save you. Those links are all very well but they don't really enhance this debate. Yes there are some nasty coppers about, there are nasty people in all walks of life...look. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3391897.stm Oh no, all doctors are evil murderers. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/fred-west-confessed-to-20-more-killings-1581855.html..Oh no, all builders are evil murderers. I mean I could go on.

Weeeellll erol, don't forget that a green light only means proceed if the way is clear, or words to that effect. I don't think you would get prosecuted if you hit each other but as a general rule, and this was a good lesson for you, just cos its green don't mean you can waft through without so much as a glance to either side. To do so will lead to...well, an incident just like this. I am always wary of crossing junctions and level crossings for this reason. He may of course been speeding along on a shout, maybe to assist an "officer down" or a violent attack under way, or a robbery of some sort, given he had blue lights flashing. You know, the sort of things that police do in the real world when they aren't victimising the innocent downtrodden masses or blatting about at high speed for no reason, risking their lives and careers in the Morpheous world.

As it turns outs, a standard usb to apple plug in the usb port of the head unit not only charges the phone, but allows the head unit to control the iPhone/iPod. Resultings!

By the way, does anyone have a wiring diagram for an Apple USB lead? So i can see which wire is power and earth, and if there is a way to get sound from there to a stereo jack for the Aux in on my head unit.

I have an NA.

Ah, but I wanted the lid to shut when there is no phone in there. I only get a new phone once every 4 or 5 years, since 2000 I've had an 8910, which went in the stock ashtray nicely, an e65 which required a bit of filing to the inner ashtray and now the iPhone.

If you're anything like me than you'll know that hardly a day goes by without someone running up to me in the street or sending me a letter asking how to fit an iPhone 3Gs into the MKiv Supra ashtray. Its impossible you say, yet if I had a £1 for every person that asked, I'd have literally the same amount of money I have right now. "It won't fit, its just too big" We've all heard that before, eh guys? Yet now, just as then, a cutting tool is required. Disassemble the gear surround and ashtray parts. Grab your Dremel and do this....(pictures In the second picture, you need to grind/cut away the vertical "rails" that the ashtray slots over, leaving about8=10mm at the very top, intact. Cut away the front of the ashtray as shown, leaving about 8-10mm of slot, so that it still locates in and holds the lid in place when shut. The iPhone now fits and you can even install the power lead through the bottom so that it charges in place, if you can figure out how to wire in a USB tothe 12v ACC and earth.

The comedian Mark Thomas did suggest that if we end up paying for a state funeral for her, turning up with some coal and pelting the coffin with it would be a fun protest. I worked with a chap in Leeds, wee fella, but he was an ex miner and extremely bitter about Thatcher and the Tories to the point where it was uncomfortable to even go near the subject, but then I thought, hang on, he's now working in this office as an education consultant on a salary way over 40K. Had the mines not been shut down and the unions smashed, he'd still be underground digging coal every day. Maybe, just maybe, he is much better off due to Thatcher. I never had the balls to say that to him though, and of course, I'm only talking about his particular case. Privatising trains and buses was a bad idea of hers though.

I was going to ask, is that the Thunderbirds one where little arms pull the top off? The video already answers me though. Will be quite handy to park in small spaces, like in front of theatres showing musicals.

AFAIK the Nespresso capsules are just compressed coffees of different types. The ingredients listed are just the coffee, pre ground and roasted and the alumunium of the capsule. I presume the "specials" they occasionally do like Chestnut flavours are additives, but I tried one and it was awful. Chestnut and coffee? Bad idea. Some people like it though, as I sold the others oneBay for a huge profit.

IIRC, all the tiny coil springs and plastic bits of the TB are outside, so you'd have removed them anyway. Whats in that box? as if you PPC it the nuts will be coated in place.

Ahh, I loved Razorback, its got that whole weird Aussie thing hoing on, and Arkie Whitley is gorgeous in it.

Ok, ok I was wrong...but pan west a few hundred metres....http://g.co/maps/3rp6y How low is that Spitfire flying?

I thought the rear was the spoiler , but I don't think the bonnet is long enough.

Well I drove that way every day to work....if its a supra

Which one? When it said "really old school" I was thinking older than those 80's films listed. I was thinking more Hammer stuff and the portmanteau films (of which Cats Tail is a veryu good modern version) like Asylum and Vault of Horror, or that one with Joan Collins where the man falls in love with a tree and carves it into a woman and it comes alive

That was it, Christian and Jenny Doran. Last time I met them was at one of the first Bluewater meets. and the chap who owned it before I think was a Geordie, big fella with short grey/silver hair. He was mates with that other nice guy who had a purple Supra, who I caught waxing the glass at that first meet at Billings waterpark place. He took it to Islay and Jura, I remember the photos.

I've forgotten so much of the maths I learnt, its criminal. I remember there was a way of working out the chord length using Cosines but I can't remember it at all.

Ahh now, who was that couple, (lovely couple, blonde lady who actually owned the car) who had a highly modifed TT that they bought off another long term member, and it was forever referred to as "his" car, for years after,much to their chagrin? I seem to recall the original owner / builder having a falling out with either Leon, TDi or maybe even Mycroft and Justin.
