Sorry to hear about this. Shame as it looked like a really nice car. Glad your ok though :)

Well I've just had a call from my insurance company about the incident that happened so obviously he has gone through his insurance company to repair his car in the end anyway. Basically my company just told me that they had been informed about the accident from his company and they have been...

Thanks for the kind words Gemma and Tom. Yeah I hate it as much as you do. Everyone seems to make a claim for whiplash these days whether they are actually injured or not. We all end up paying for it in the end in higher premiums. I guess its the same for any system where you claim money...

Sorry to hear about your neck. The thing is though, I don't think I have whiplash severe enough to want to make a claim for it. I hate this idea where we live in a society where we claim for a broken fingernail these days. If you genuinly have a neck injury and you have to miss work, etc then by...

Thanks for the replies. Neck is fine now, just a bit stiff, but I'm sure I'll be fine :) Ok, to start with, we did exchange contact and vehicle details, so thats not an issue. If he wants to go through his insurance its upto him as far as I'm concerned but we agreed that there was little...

I know I don't say much on here but I just got back from college after an incident this morning I thought I'd tell you all about. I came off the A38 dual carriageway on the way to my college in Burton and approached a roundabout at the end of the exit slip road. The traffic was heavy so I...

Saw that on Richard and Judy. He looked like a little kid in a sweet shop. Bless :wasntme:

Just to add, I've got a 94 L-reg with a sun roof, slight rust just starting to bubble at the rear end of the sills on both sides, treated them with waxoil stuff a few months back, but probably won't make much difference as I only did them on the outside. Front ends of the sills and...

My L-reg LX has one so looks like you have one but it needs repairing/replacing

I totally agree with that. It seems very suspicious that this has suddenly come out so recently after the massive objections from motorists about road charging. I do detect some government spin here. I think that current government policy on cars has very little to do with road safety or the...

Congratulatiuons and just take it easy for the first couple of years :)

Ok no probs :)

Just to say that anything thats not sold on here by Friday afternoon will be put on ebay with the exception of the motherboard and RAM as I'm still waiting for confirmation off Goldstar about this. I need to get rid of this stuff fairly quickly otherwise my girlfriend will kill me for having...

Thats pretty wild. I stayed in St. Johns, Newfoundland a few years back on the way to the U.S. and the snow was like that. I fell down a snow drift at the side of the road and nearly got myself killed there, but thats another story :) Makes the stuff we got over here last week look pretty...

Best of luck to ya and let us know how it goes :) Oh and if you do fail, try not to let it get you down - it took me 2 attempts.

Firstly: As said before by someone in this thread, if you like it then do it and sod everyone else. In my personal opinion, it depends why you want to do it really. If you think its going to make it look like a sporty beast, it won't. I had a thick black stripe going along the centre of the...

I agree with you there, its not all Americans. Just to make it clear I met some wonderful people over there, not just idiots. And I agree with you that if you drove around rough areas of Manchester or any large city with cars with "Man love is good" scrawled on the side, then you'll probably...

Doesn't surprise me at all. I lived in Georgia for 6 months and I got people calling me gay because I had an English accent and wore black socks with my trainers! Christ knows what would have happened to me if I told anyone I was against the Iraq war. I'd probably get tied up and dragged behind...

Thanks for that. So I think I know what I'm doing with the engine capacity, but there seems to be no space on the V5 where the vehicle model (eg: LX, SLX, Super-S, etc) can be changed? Is this a case of sending off a covering letter to the DVLA in the hope that they will amend my vehicle model...

Thanks for the replies guys. So if I understand you correctly Phil, your saying that you go ahead with the 1.3 conversion, re-register it with the DVLA on the original plate as a 1.3 super-s (or 1.3LX or something, I say super-s as practicaly all my mods so far have been super-s parts!) and...
