Aye, she just followed the van without looking. Everyone was grand.

Be sore in the morning I'd say, not necessarily "OMG I'll never work again, not that I ever have" kinda sore, but wrists, shoulders etc will know about it. Silly stuff. As mugmugs said, the other car was moving alright, considering.

Is the audio lagging the visual a lot in that video?

I just found this site cars for under £500. I've been looking through it for the past hour, and can't stop

. Some nice looking motors, lemon or not I'm sure there would be some. Anyway enjoy: http://carsunder500.co.uk/

Mad that the lot of you can't get quoted.
That's with Xs Direct, worth a shot.

You mean the same XSDirect with €3000 excess? It's not worth having insurance you can't use, imo

Never saw the point either. Surely you're just better off with third party?

Suppose a comp policy may satisfy finance companies!

Indeed, seems to be a good few seconds behind when I rendered it, not sure why it happened.

The 3k excess is for situations you are out of pocket though your own fault/liability, its still legally full insurance for people that couldnt get insured elsewhere. Also they have variable excess amounts pending how much you pay (from 1 to 4k IMO).

If you caused 40k worth of damage, that 1-4k excess doesnt look so bad, compared to 3rd party only. Without XS Direct I wouldnt have had half the cars I did, you start with them then grow into proper/normal insurers.

CianRyan · 13-02-2013 9:47pm

I put in a voluntary excess of €200 but I presume it's massive in the full details.

Got a free front wing!

Just after the lights now.

I think someone needs a dictionary with the word "Clean" open

MugMugs · 14-02-2013 12:05am

Just noticed Kbannon is now completely demodded. Any plans to return? Sorry to see him step down. Haven't seen him post in a while mind.

Toyotafanboi · 14-02-2013 12:28am

was thinking of doing Drive 4 Charity this year, just as a bitof a notion i had taken. thought you could sign up, get sponsored and rock up on the day/ weekend in question and drive along.

300 quid up front reg fees and minimum sponsorship of 600 and if you fail to make those figures, you're out, you cant come along and the money you gave up to that point is gone also. thats me out.

Yeah none of us have seen him in a long while too. He was removed as a mod just in case he was getting PMs from people who thought he wasn't responding. He's welcome back any time

Big Nasty · 14-02-2013 7:27am

Was having some 'quality time' with the woman this morning being the day that's in it. When things started to heat up I released the brakes and the 'piston' really started to pump away. Just then I shouted 'V-tech just kicked in yo!' - she didn't get it though.

Happy Valentines Day y'all!

Soooo... I had to get up at 6. So naturally the alarm didn't wake me and I woke at 11....

On the plus side, calm and dry out

if it stays like this I can get some cars cleaned

Oh and happy forced affection, flower murdering and marketing day everyone

akelly02 · 14-02-2013 12:45pm

I did that yesterday with three alarms set :eek: Right pain

I'm starting to miss my car. Not liking this whole public transport to work buzz

Sitting in my car munching on a beef roll; merc estate pulls across and goes to reverse into the space in front of me. Looks tight, he flips it into reverse and I hear a roar - 6.3 AMG - and he manages it in one. Perfectly non descript 50 year old bald guy with a savage car.

advertsfox · 14-02-2013 2:40pm

That's it - no more excuses, the car is being cleaned with weekend and I'm actually going to fit that damn rear window regulator so it works!

CianRyan · 14-02-2013 2:51pm

I'm now thinking even if I don't put my car to rest... I might still buy an MX-5, wait 'till I get my full licence and switch my policy.
Some one tell me why this is a bad idea.

Give us a broader pic of that hit Cian. I'm fascinated about what hit her.
