I've used it for so long else where I can't remember the reason it came about!  

Was something to do with a drunken party and the disney film Snow White.

Some of the questions were just too ambiguous to answer. Question 2 and 4. Average lifespan for men (in UK) is 74, the answer given requires you to qualify you answer! inning can refer to Cricket or Baseball. Baseball is 6, 3 per side. Cricket can be either 1 or 2 depending on if you are talking about 1 team or 2 teams!

It has been "researched" on "Mythbusters" that a discarded cigerette will not light a puddle of petrol, though flicked in a window and getting the seats smoldering, I would guess woud get it going up big time!

how CAN you enjoy a book that you spend about 15 seconds reading each page??? It's not even as though it's in large print. I know I couldn't read ir anywhere near properly in that time!

« on: 20 July 2007, 09:52:46 »

Well I have had code 19 stored for a little while now (3 months ish!) and twice now I have had difficulty starting the poor thing (turning over fine not trying to catch) both times when I was trying to get to pick the little one up from nursery! Left it 5 mins tried again and it caught!

All my own fault! had the warning signs, knew it needs doing, not got round to it yet! will be ordering one today! only thing is the one thats on there is one I replaced just over a year ago and is routed well away frm the oil pipes etc (routed near abs module). So is it worth just getting another ebay one (or 2!!!) or should I go for a rip off Vx one i.e will a Vx one last longer???

Alright I shouldn't complain as mine passed with no real problems, but I just hate having them done, especially this time as I had to leave the car and pick it up later instead of standing over the tester as he did it (not that I don't trust garages or anything)!

Had some advisories but nowt to worry about:

Front indicator (both) slightly discoloured
Rear child seat fitted
Plastic sill covers fitted
Can not see condition or wear of front/rear break pads

Must admit I'm surprised the wishbone haven't been picked up yet, been meaning to do them for last 1 1/2 years (parts till in the boot!) as it pulls a bit.

Wehay, what a fantastic day it was (even on the sunday with a few light rain showers). Who said the Red Arrow trainer was just for the kids to sit in, the RAF bloke was more than happy to let me have a sit in it as well!

As my 1st air display I was more than impressed (although a little disapointed about the Vulcan not being there), was nice in the Jubilee Garden with the food / bar/ toilets without queues! needless to say I will be going back next year.

Tossers. Not the police, the prat in my street who rang them an hour after I finished taking the lights off, to report the car as abandoned.

They turned up at 8pm tonight to wander around the car with their torches. Now, this is interesting because as I opened the front door to ask if there was a problem, they asked me if I know who owns the car. Yep, me I said. Why? Then they revealed that 'someone' had reprted it as abandoned. I explained that I had only finished taking the last parts off this afternoon and that it was booked to go to the scrapyard on Friday. I then went on to point out that it still has the tax disc on it (March 31 2007) and that it is insured and has a current MoT..............

I think the arguement against would go along the lines of....It may well have had a current MOT certificate. but not a valid MOT certificate. So technically should not have been on the road. No lights on it, no reflectors, parked on the side of the road in the dark.......well you get the picture. Also if the phoned up and complained to the council, they could come and tow it away as it could be causing a nuciense (and on that score you couldn't just park it outside their hose for a few weeks, not in that condition anyway).

but all that said, I'm on your side! nosey gits should mind their own business. If they were that concered why didn't they just ask how long it was going to be there in that condition???!!!
