bmwhere?

See what you're saying there Stu! The guy I share an office with got done for GBH when he hit a burglar with a golf club. The scumbag got away scott free for the attempted burglary and got compensation for being a victim of crime for GBH! That just sucks! At the same time though, people shouldn't have to defend themselves or their property - these things just shouldn't be happening!

Signed after some effort.... ...should get the email tonight! Must say though, the non working mum driving her kids to school has no excuse! The school run is something that has always annoyed me - I used to walk/cycle to primay school and took the bus to secondary school, I don't see why kids nowadays need to be driven!

Mine would be the chrome STi tyre valve caps that got stolen after less than a week [:@]

That looks fantastic [Y] Looks like the raffle is my only hope of getting one though! [:^)]

Hmmm... not fair! I want to go too! Might have to go skiing to make up for it

Do the JDM's have exactly the same size (width) rims as UK cars? If you go for that tyre size on a UK car, you'll be 1.4% bigger radius, which is OK, but will mean your spedo under-reads by 3 or 4mph, so watch out for the speed traps!

...oh and I need new brakes - disks and pads So the conclusion is... November is an expensive month!!!

Hard luck Stu! Costly times, clutch and winter tyres Mind you, I just got my insurance renewal through

I did this for a few years when I first stated driving! Wish I hadn't though as I lost several years no-claims which ultimately has cost me more money in the long run!

I have a German car and as far as I know its not undersealed, but I can't be 100% sure!

Another dissapointing result for Subaru Great result for Stohl though

Quote from WRC.com "Petter was another driver to be plagued with problems early in the day. His intercom failed on the first stage and then he suffered a broken driveshaft on the third, as well as having completely the wrong tyres. He still maintained six place throughout the day though." "Petter Solberg got his tyre choice wrong again for the afternoon stages but still posted a third fastest time on the penultimate test to hold sixth overnight."

Yeah, know what you mean! Does it to me with Firefox 2 too!

Would have thought if he had a speed gun and no camera he would have to go after you and stop you! I think you'll get away with it!

Just read that on the BBC News site and for some reason thought of ScoobyNet! [*-)]

Ahh, there's a part B... seems a bit more like it! Still shocked the 911 didn't win though! Porsche must be cutting back on the press bungs, probably because they've just seen profits rise by 70% this year!

Ahh, the good old days of 5th Gear! Brink back the Angelsea track and bin that tacky cafe and that to$$er of a presenter with it!

Somethings not right there... I thought a 911 always won! [*-)]

Lol Snap! Rossi is 23rd, but came 13th on SS5 so could maybe start climbing up the leader board tomorrow!

A lot depends on how brave the rider is! You can drive a car fast without too much fear, but riding a bike fast requires a lot more guts and experience! I've had quite a few run-ins with bikes over the years and on flowing country roads its generally quite even between a Scooby and a decent sports bike! As you say, the car always wins in the corners but the bikes make short work of the straights, so it really comes down to the road! What's really nice is when the bikers wave to let you know they enjoyed the competition [] I once had a biker do a U-turn just to have a bit of a play and over the summer driving the Splugenpass was warned of several speed traps by a number of bikers!

Just found the EH72 with 25HP []

WOW!!! The EX27 is a whole 9HP! Wonder if you can do a straight swap into a new age STi???

Saw it a couple of days ago! Always great for a laugh []

Hi heard if you push it too hard you can have a really bad accident! [8-)]
