  1. God hes aged...surely the price should of gone down judging by the way he looks these days! Soz not a football fan I'll leave immediately before i get beaten up and called a faggot:p
  2. Wicked m8 can wait to see it...seeing one of those on the road is as rare as fcuk...
  3. oh thats wicked, nice one for getting the pics! 'Its a Mini metro you fool...they have just rebadged it Ahaa Allan' Does it come with a walnut gear Knob:(
  4. I like old people, coz they are so..... .............old:p
  5. Ok so theres a Vette C6 for £40k...say i bought a Supra for say £10k or less and spend £30k on mods, what kind of machine would i end up with, how many disputes with companies along the way lol but more importantly how reliable and could it be used as an everyday car...I bet £30k could creat quite a nice Supra! Lots have spent far more than that I know
  6. I think its a brillient show...Knife throwing people had me in stitches (almost had his daughter in stitches too:p ) The Monkey puppet singing Michael Jackson songs was funny too! And Mr Carphone Operahouse wow what a shock. The little lad that did the twirlling too was great...Billy Elliot type scenario. I thought it was great TV, preffered it to X Factor, because it has more of a surprise element...you dont know what the fcuks going to happen or appear next:D
  7. Hey thats not you Branners at the front is it? (no i havent seen his dick!) I know their problem! they all lack bollocks)
  8. I do like the 350z as say an alternative to a high end Audi TT. A mate bought one recently and i thought the dash layout with built in SatNav and Bluetooth kit was pretty cool (looked great at night in a fairylight kind of way) It is not a replacement for a Supra in my eyes...but then i dont think there will be for quite some time. Though there is a stop gap..but it aint cheap and thats the C6 Corvette! If I hadn't owned a Supra the 350z would be on my wish list when it came out, but i been spoilt...and id feel performance wise it would be a step back in some respects...nice car though..
  9. Awwww I'm so Soz Ed....hope the lill fella recovers... My dog used to play with the traffic, it got bought back by the Police once after causing a pile up on the A37 when I lived in Somerset luckily no-one was badly hurt. Sheena (Amazing Grace) has a cat with three legs her son nicknames him tripod but hes learned quite well to hop around and he seems very content... Si
  10. PMSL Poor fella, I guess ironically despite being unlucky enough to be wheelchair bound his wheelchair saved his life. I Did something really stupid and embarresing once in Oxford. I parked outside a pub on Double yellows...you know how funny they are there about cars. I kept an eye out to make sure no traffic wardens came and gave me a ticket, but some member of the public came in and said 'Who the hells parked their car on Double yellows outside?' I just thought it was some Green Activist Cyclist type..you do get em! So I ignored it and carried on with my pint... I took a peak out of the window and saw a man struggling to get a man in a wheelchair up a steep kerb..he was trying to get the guy in the pub and id parked blocking the 'slight ramp' upto the narrow pavement.. I then went out and apologised and moved the Supra...the two were shouting abuse at me....so i bought em both a drink and had a long chat with em, so much so i didn't notice the traffic warden sticking a ticket on my car..so i guess i got my just deserts lol...never made that mistake again...! Difficult to understand the day to day challenges of wheelchair bound folk..but it made me a lot more aware..and i 'think' a bit more now when parking!
  11. Get well soon Charlotte.... Sorry to hear this. Si xx
  12. Great Pics Wayne really tells the story....yeah nice to see people as well as cars i agree wid that. Nice one Dude Si
  13. I dont get what you're 'really' trying to say here...other than trying to say your not gay:p Do you have some issues with your sexuality? I mean lets look at Lifers in prison...your shacked up for Life you share a cell with a 21 yr old blonde lad or Thai lad or whatever who has feminine charectoristics...its only time before any man would end up shagging him or getting him to blow em off lol. Likewise if a gay bloke was with a young good looking women in the same situation I'm sure the same is true! I hope i never get offered a £million thats all i can say but if i was my answers would be slightly different than yours;) Infact id prob do half of em for a lot less and undercut you ha ha:d Edit: Actually...if anyone buys me a Corvette C6 ...erm:d
  14. I'm not working today and yesturdays given me a bad back so I'm gonna go buy Autocar, relax on the sofa and put the DVD on a loop he he...(then i check yesturdays Lotto Tickets;)
  15. If only i went to the right skool;) I try and speak from the heart, i get caught up in the emotion of it all... When Clarkson once said that the Supra lacked emotion hes so wrong, The Supra and its world with you and everyone else joined me up to one of the biggest disfunctional family's ever;) When things go wrong in my life i know theres a few people I can relate to as mad as me...I almost bought a C5 once...but I'm glad i bought a Supra only because there was more love on the Supra forum then... This is the only thing that scares me about having a C6...I feel i'll be alientated or have to grow a beard and listen to Kris Kristoffesen...but theres loads Vette owners on here now! I do think the Vettes are pretty unique, whilst i was seeing this car, a women with three screaming kids was testing the Mustang, i had a brief look at it...and the salesman was telling her about 'The Shakker' system (1000 watt stereo)...I guess she was hoping to drown out the crying kids in the back lol. I dont get this globalised form of customisation, its bit like the Mini's with the Chilli packs, yeah great so individual except everyone else has the chilli pack and the Shakker system. I badly need something like a Vette right now to whisk me away from reality!!!!
  16. Thanks mate (my attempt at being an automotive jorno ha ha..just wish my spelling was better etc:p ) Yeah i know didn't think they'd let me lol...I always wonder about how they define the difference between a joyrider and someone who wants to actually buy a car..not sure which catagory i fall into at this stage!!!!!, but i remember being turned down once to test drive a BMW 318... I then went and bought a 325 for a lot more money and turned up at the Dealership that wouldn't let me testdrive their car and parked the more expensive 325 right by the window where the sales bloke was sitting and went in and asked how to change the battery in the alarm remote...his face was a picture! These guys at Stratstones were really accomodating and nothing was a problem, they even said if i wanted to come and test drive it again i'd be more than welcome...great service...and im a sucker for good service:d What a wicked car though...more than worth plunging into debt for ha ha!
  17. Right ok..I better tell you about this C6 i drove last Saturday. Hidden amongst a sea of Volvos (I said Volvos !!! it wasn't one of those artworks involving hundreds of naked people:p )..was a Caddy/Chevy dealership. After a brief few questions from a very welcoming sales team (i turned up wearing filthy Lonsdale trainers and a McKenzie T shirt.) I was handed the keys....actually i wasn't handed the keys. infact i never even saw a set of keys during the whole test drive. I just pushed a button and instead of a roar of a lion being woken up by a tourist in Tsalvo East wearing Lonsdale trainers and a Mckenzie T Shirt...i heared the purr of a cat..yep it aint quite loud enough on tickover..but that can be sorted obviously;) Handbrake off in auto mode and off we go, kept wanting to vear to the right, but got used to driving by the pavement and watching the appreciative smiles of half dressed people...all tits n ass coz it was a hot day. Meanwhile back in the Corvette we approached the sliproad to the motorway, and put my foot right down as far as i could...and wow...fcuk me...lots of laughter, salesman hanging onto his silk tie for dear life....this Corvette suddenly turned into a ferocious lion, our prey for the day was a Saab Turbo in the distance...This car had claws, no movement from the back end (though a few bowel movements from the salesman:d ) I started to get used to the paddle shifts in Sports mode and things took off from there, Dismiss the bad reports of agressive jolts in full auto, it is no worse than a 4 speed auto in a Supra...the paddle shift worked really well but would of liked a chance to get more used to it...but it did what you wanted ...kicked down changed up instantly. After gobbling up the Saab, we looked for other prey..I was having far too much fun and because the roof was off i couldn't hear the Sales patter from the Salesguy..'Sorry can't hear you, did you say you wanted to go faster????' After we landed....he took over and i had a chance to check out the onboard sat nav with DVD player. Womans voice in English sounded like Annie Nightingale after 6 weeks at Rehab!...and lots of other related buttons! Amongst all the gadgets was a Heads up Display, which was great and prob looks even better at night, but the housing tends to reflect on the windscreen when the roofs off and would annoy me a bit... the other stupid thing i found was the electric power seats...great it goes up it goes down it goes back and forth but dosn't recline..so i was shocked to find a real flimsy handle down the side of the seat that felt like the arm of a very cheap pair of sunglasses...but not the end of the world i spose, just bit daft considering all the work thats gone into this car. All European spec C6's are fitted with Z51 suspension as standard I'm told, and to be honest it felt quite smooth and you could almost fall asleep, then you hit a pothole and theres a slight Earthqauke that runs up the back of your spine but only slightly and i found all the reports of the suspension being terrrible or whatever are grossly overexaggerated, its smoother than running on Bilsteins and felt far more controlled on the corners, plus of course weight wise this car is supposed to be 51/49 distribution so I'm 'guessing' it aint far off having the composure of midengined car. Yes it is slightly less involving than a Supra but only very slightly...but i guess if i drove it for a few hundred miles i'd feel more connected to it like any car...bear in mind i got out of a bouncy comfortable 4x4 and drove this..so there goes anybad news on the suspension. The Bose Stereo is amazing I'm told it adjusts its volume to the noise level of the car..maybe it even has noise cancelling technology but not sure..but it was incredible and extremely loud and responsive at all frequencies...some great bass, and all this was with the roof off. I didn't get to put the roof on so couldn't cast my ear on the suggestion that the road noise was intrusive...who cares it goes fast, it handles, it will pull women, men and small fury animals....Im hooked...now i need to find £39,990 (s/h ex demo) Its now my dream car....for under £50k Yeah the ZO6 is better im sure...but i want this one;) Next year they are launching a new engine for this the LS3 which as far as im aware adds an extra 36bhp...but not sure i'll be able to wait for that.!!!!! Edit forgot to mention the tyres are £235 each for the runflat 285/19's on the rear and about £215 for the 245/18's on the front...lights come on by themselves if it gets dark...and it has an auto diming mirror with a digital compass, its one of those cars you'll keep finding hidden surprises
  18. Beautiful..i drove a C6 last Saturday, im hooked...just need to get sum money to buy one...working on it though;)
  19. £5000 a tyre my god...£17k for four lol sounds like a Market stall holder. 'Apples 5p each 17p for four' Amazing what a good bodyshop/Valater can do short of painting great insight....where would Top gear be without people like that. I remember them once asking on their programme if any members of the public owning a Buggati Veyron could lend it to them for some track testing...yeah fcuk right off lol....i wouldn't lend em a screwdriver even ha ha. Thats a great insight thanks for sharing Chris:cool:
  20. Blooming heck... Sorry to hear that:rolleyes:
