  1. Anyone got a link to a working download? Trying to learn some of it on guitar. cheers
  2. Seems very cheap to me. Have you HPI or Autocheck'd it?
  3. Paul Whiffin: Toyota 6 speed gearbox £2771 UK retail £5075

    4wd Supra

    Maybe he was in a Subaru. That old chestnut, but at RRG ? Surely a mechanic would know the difference. He did say *Supra*.

    4wd Supra

    but he was adamant, like I knew nothing.

    4wd Supra

    Mechanic from across the road: "Is that a 4wd Supra" Me: "No mate, they don't make a 4wd one". Him: "Yes they do. I was at RRG in Stockport the other day. I was in one." Me: "Nah mate. It was probably a Celica GT-4 or something. They didn't make a 4wd Supra." Him: "I was in it the other day. I'll bet you my house, my car, everything." Me: "You don't want to do that. Honestly they don't. They don't even make the Supra any more. This one's a grey import. They stopped selling them over here in 1996". Him: "No. It was a new one. 4wd." blah. blah.
  7. I thought that might be the case
  8. E and C are typed by the left hand on adjacent fingers in Qwerty, while the T is typed by the right, and in rapid typing, the E and C are often typed by the left hand in a drumming motion before the right can get the T in between the two. (paraphrased from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teh ), and it's true for my qwerty typing but then I wasn't taught how to type properly. Perhaps etc is meant to be typed all with the left hand?
  9. Virgin Radio Classic Rock?
  10. I just tried the quote anyway, and it says "unfortunately we are unable to offer you a quote due to the type of car you selected". I guess they don't insure imports?
  11. Thanks. I had a look, but the very first thing it says is: The car has non-standard alloys, non standard exhaust, and the registered owner/keeper is a business. Since I need the insurance to actually cover the car in case she crashes or it's stolen, I can't go for that. The £660 quote from Lancaster included all that.
  12. I don't get it. The Why page doesn't say why. Is it meant to play a voicemail message that his missus left him or something?
  13. Well we have it down to £660 with 1yrs no claims, so it's looking promising now anyway. To be honest this is the sort of price I was expecting for a 32yr old woman with our postcode, but confused.com was throwing out figures of £1500 or so.
  14. This might help: http://www.miic.org.uk/public/form_ind_inf.htm
  15. Hmm. But when she took out her current insurance, she stated that she only had 1yrs no claims, because the year before that, she was taking out insurance after the last insurance company went bump and she figured that meant she had 0yrs no claims. That does make sense but you might have to read it slowly. Do insurers automatically know about previous insurance history? If you didn't shop around for insurance every year, I can see what you're saying, but if you're jumping ship to a new company, they're not going to have that information are they?
  16. We are trying to find insurance for the missus on the Supra. She doesn't know who her previous insurers were, apart from the last one anyway, but she's never made a claim in her life. How might we go about tracing insurance history or proof of no claims? Is there some way we can find the insurers based on the car reg or her address, and then get details from the insurers? She says one of the previous insurers went bump which made her think she'd lost any future no claims entitlement, and she can't remember their name. Any ideas?

    No V Power

    I love the Tesco stuff, but we moved house and there isn't one nearby now. Used to be at the end of our road too.
  18. I had a constant battle on my hands to get the kids to wear their seatbelts, and my mum, and a lady at one of my customers apparently doesn't wear one either. Photos like this need to be distributed more often.
  19. Has anybody seen the hole in Graziano's head? (not for those with a sensitive stomach) http://www.livevideo.com/video/8D1CE4FCBACF43B8B6BFDF0EB39A772F/graziano-s-hole.aspx That's gotta be a good advert for seatbelts.

    im confussed

    I paid £3200 for the first year of my Alfa GTV. If you've got that amount of spare cash (wish I did now!) and you're really into the idea of having a particular car, then I guess you're gonna do it. I pay £600 to cover the Supra & the Civic (coming tomorrow!) now, so it's all getting back to normal now

    No V Power

    No SUL near me either. I guess they are prioritising the tankers.
  22. Dave isn't on Freesat yet I don't think. I don't have it anyway, but then I have to scan manually for channels.
  23. Thread should be deleted for being a complete waste of time.
