    Never really got into bike racing. Grew up on F1, but the last few years have been boring as hell.. I think since Senna's been gone I've lost interest. I'll watch it if it's on, but it's not the must watch that it used to be.
  3. My UK 93 car came up as a non cat test.. Cannot say for others though.
  4. I wouldn't coast in an auto in N, you cannot tow an auto for the same reason. I think putting it in park when you stop is fine, takes the strain off the clutchs, but not while moving.
  5. Also ctrl and scroll wheel on Mouse.. 15mnt old loves ta do this.
  6. Had a bit of a back and forth with Adrian Flux and Sky and Sky won. AF first quoted me £620 (£711 after installments) without agreed value. Sky came back with £580 (£625 after installments) - With agreed. AF then quoted £550 (£615 after installements) - With agreed. Sky then bettered this to £551 (£601 after installments) - With agreed. I know all insurers seem to do this, but knocking £70 of you renewal quote smacks of hoping you'll just renew at that value. Thanks to Luke at Sky for taking care of that for me. 35, 9yr NCB (Put as 6 I think). Car on Drive and Cat 2 alarm. UK 6 Speen Manual mods as in Sig.
  7. I hate smoking, the smell of it etc, but I don't hate smokers.. Lets get that clear first. As much as I would love to see no one smoking ever again, I cannot see it every happening. If the Gov made smoking illegal, then this would not be the answer. One of two things would happen. 1) Everyone stopped smoking. The Gov would lose billions each year, but we would have the same medical costs for smoking related illnesses for years to come 10/15 years.. 2) There would be a rather large black market and most people would carry on smoking. The Gov would lose billions each year, but we would have the same medical costs for smoking related illnesses for ever. So maybe it needs to be down to making the evil cancer sticks healther for smokers, if that's possible. Just my two pences worth. The Gov would los
  8. A drought order means that all non essential water use is banned, including cleaning cars by any means.
  9. You gonna keep your car like that as it's looks pretty good.
  10. Thought you'd finally cought up with Laura:D Well done for sorting it, do you want to come over a sort my dash lights now..
  11. What camera have you got? Can you google it.
  12. As I said I would have made the C Drive 40GB and the D drive the remainder. Then as in this case, you can blitz the C drive and start again with a nice clean install.
  13. If you click on my computer, how many drives do you see (Not CD's or DVD drives). If you only have a C drive, it's not partitioned.
  14. msconfig does work with XP (Just run it from the Run option in the start menu, but I'd go with there has been a load of apps installed over the year(s) and it's just too many things to start. Hopefully your drive is partitions.. 40GB (It's big, why scrimp) and the rest for your data. Then if you do reinstal windows, you don't risk losing your data.. Good luck.. I hate computers.. Guess I shouldn't work with em, or pi$$ my mrs off by spending all my time on em..
  15. Sounds like you have a lot, and I mean a lot of software starting up with the PC. Maybe if you uninstall some of the programs you no longer use it may help. Failing that a full format/reinstall will help thing out no end. Mine doesn't take this long, but I have ~10 icons in the system tray, ranging from my Blue tooth connection to Zome Alarm.
  16. When you get insurance you're asked for the value of the car. Normally you say £12. You then wrap it around a tree and they give you book prices ~£7K ish. Agreed value is you agree with them £12K. Same tree comes up, but you get £12K.. A lot of companies will only give you book price unless you really kick up a stink.
  17. I agree, my eyes hurt now..
  18. Even if you don't replace the pad, you'll still need to take em out to replace the disk.
  19. I just hope you don't work for Branners. Here
  20. Had my MKiii and dreamed of owning a MKiv. Did some looking around the web and found here in 02. Signed up and by the time I could afford a MKiv, you had to pay to join.. No I wonder where all the subs go...
