    On the Jag? No would be my opinion, only for German cars, but then again I'm sure Jags in Germany have them on:D

    its 728 right? as much as i can see, there is not that much of difference between 728 and 740 powerwise ( in real world ). i know V8 rumble is awesome, but i would not write off 728 :D

    My BMW failed the NCT for corrosion on the brake line, there was tiny spec of rust about 1cm which was so tiny, it cost me €150 to have them renewed and my mechanic said they were nothings by a shower of @%$£;'s to fail the car on it and the reason I failed it was because I hadn't left something in the ashtray.

    called my insurance just to ask for qoutes.

    i thought there will be changes when i am 26 with 5 ncb! i was wrong :D

    not a single car they will insure me on. pure refusal or have to be 30. i even told them that you told me that twice already when i got mx5 and skyline, but you still insured. his answer was: we cant give qoutes, with no reg bla bla.

    so its once more buying a car and calling to "update" my policy :cool:

    Hey all, was just wondering if any of you's could help me out with regards to a slight bit of a pickle I am in..

    During the week, I booked my mothers car in For an NCT test in Blarney (Cork) for tomorrow (Sunday) @ 11.15... The problem is, I have ripped the house apart over the last 2 days looking for the Vehicle Registration Cert, but with no joy. :confused: I was just wondering if there was anyway else I can get the test done, or am I up the proverbial creek without a paddle?? Tried ringing last night and this morning to cancel before the 24 hours, but of course the call centres are closed for the weekend -_-

    Having had a 530i which was more powerful than the 728 and having a 540i now, I can assure you there is a world of difference between the two. If you are happy with a 728 (and that 6pot is a good motor dont get me wrong) dont spoil it by driving a V8 (ever)!

    I did not wanted to steer the thread to "damn banks bla bla", but banks here are really damn useless!!

    2.5k instead of 25k... Did they fixed it?! A lot of hassle?

    For me so far:

    Applied for car finance once and was told I will be contacted same day. 3 days later I came in to the branch with "wtf?!?! Attidute". Answer was great: no one called you? Oh very sorry, but it was declined.

    Other situation: applied for small loan. I was told money will be transferred in x days. In about x + 5 days no money and no contact. Walked in to the bank with "wtf attidute " again. The answer was priceless: " oh sorry, we lost your documentation and forms ". We can fill that in again now...

    How the feck can people who are responsible for money be so **** at it!?

    They sorted it straight away. I dont want to go ot but it happened a friend of mine who lodged a cheque for 40k and she put 40 euros on the slip. He wrote a good few cheques and they bounced too so maybe this is what happened to the op. Still though I would ring Shannon Tuesday morning just in case.

    I was like: WTF?! They are both alive and kicking! One is in Sweden other one in Norway!
    Oh sorry, it's different person. Your goes up, because of you being overweight.

    I'd trust a skinny chef to cook my food, certainly Marcus Wearing, Kevin Thirnton or last noght's experience Philip Howard. Other than that, I am with Julius Caesar.... "let me have men about me who are fat as they can be trusted".

    I want your job.
    Seems no one wants a 21 year old baker with no experience though. :/
