    I need to find out the manufacturer of them first. I don't want to have a mismatch. They are D1S 12v 35w and I *think* 4300k.

    All OEMs are 4300K AFAIK.

    They're completely different cars, despite the engine. Someone looking for a 320d won't be happy with a 75 and money in the pocket.
    Besides, some of the diesel 75's are actually quite pricey.

    Did some serious sound deadening moddage to the wagon recently.

    A special acoustic foam, placed in each ear for motorway running. :rolleyes:

    =(

    I love my wagon but the wind noise is horrible for a guy with tinnitus.

    I wonder do those wind deflectors actually cause more wind noise. . .

    In my experience yes. They are really only any good at keeping rain drops at bay when you open the window slightly.

    So I guess this would make more sense here than anywhere else. Is it strange that I don't like the driving position of the BMW 3 series from the late 90s? It's pretty poxy to check over your shoulder etc. Or do I need to adjust the seat more?

    I just found €200 in my car in a blank envelope down between the seat and transmission tunnel :eek:

    No idea who owns it but it couldn't have come at a better time :D

    Maybe this is the cars way of saying sorry for recent problem :cool:

    Lads when flying to America, is it better to go via London or somewhere in America? I can't fly direct to where I want to go. Not sure whether two medium flights > one short and one long or not.

    When you're making chicken tikka masala, do you guys find its better to add the coriander stalks before the paprika, or after? I find it has that bit more "zing" if added after.

    If you gave it a decent clean since buying it it wouldn't stretch the imagination too much to reckon perhaps the mechanic who had it for a fortnight recently mightl have dropped it :pac:

    Wha? I normally go for pizza. Regarding the anonymous envelope, I wish the Alfa'd send me one too. It's friggin' alcoholic. Guesstimating 25mpg at this point! Then again, I have been ragging it, it sounds too nice not too. What a relevation compared to the Corsa.

    Since you asked, whichever option leaves the least time sitting in an airport between flights, I spent a day in Gatwick once, sweet Jesus, unreal boring.

    It would sell for 500 with an NCT though. Not that I'd pay that, but I'm sure someone would. :P

    Coriander always at the last minute to get the full benefit of the flavour and aroma. ;)

    Always as late as possible, but there are soooo many Indian dishes which are better than Chicken Tikka Masala tbh.

    Yep the MG has been locked up and in bits since October. Hoping to finish putting it back together over the new year in time for being back on the road towards the end of Jan.

    I have to pick up my new hard top in it as it won't fit in the Passat

    Got a bargain so couldn't leave it behind. Looks like it was only ever fitted once or twice. The headlining needs a scrub though. She is happy enough to store it until I collect it. Gave me a VERY good price as I was fixing up an MGF and she had happy memories of hers.

    Friendly, single, blonde milf in her early 40's if that is any encouragement to collect
