    Saabrina passed the nct today. A glorious day since it broke down on the way to the test 6 weeks ago and I was told it was an economic write off.

    Another victory for us bangernomic-ites, :D

    Yeah 2.0D

    Was curious so found em on rimmerbros website, uk got them too.

    On a side note, I checked the site on the new price on the 17 inch sport wheels on my S.

    http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-XR843333

    €1,824 inc VAT :o

    That's not even main dealer.

    I'm guessing the boggo spec was for fleet purchases and the like.... Unlike here :pac:

    That's eye watering that price :eek:

    Sounds decent depending on the asking. What year is it, mileage and where you get it from? Did it have a decent history?

    Gets me thinking, would I make anything breaking the Jag? I'm sure I'd only sell it for under €500. Don't know if there'd be much call for body parts and the likes.

    Now I like the sound of this :cool:

    Potentially more to be made that way rather than selling a whole car

    It'd be a shame to break it up, but to be fair its days are numbered with the massive tax rate.

    How bad would a Cat D write off be?
    Is it usually just cosmetic damage or could it be anything?

    Probably nothing major.

    I wouldn't mind a crashed car as long as I knew where the damage was, ie. front and not the roof etc.

    Depends on who does the quote to fix it sometimes, lol.

    I saw a repair quote for a Mini in the thousands for something that would of been done for a grand. The quote had all brand new parts, all emblems etc.

    Turns out the Mini Cooper S was only a Cooper, was previously crashed and also was previously silver (was white now).

    That's dodgey for ya :pac:

    Just noticed brining afew mates and my brother to the pub there that the lights on the dials below my new head unit don't work, the a/c temperature and fan setting ones.

    Confused, did he steal their power feed as a shortcut or ?

    Was hearing really loud as fook exhaust noises all week in the new house - here's me thinking it was a boy racer with a monster exhaust or a motorbike of some sort which I was used to in my last place. Was walking to the house back from my car yesterday, hear it again and I think "ah ha, I've figured out the bastard" and turn around...

    Orange Lamborghini Murciélago convertible booting it out from the estate opposite! My face in the same spot for 5 minutes???

    Just happenned to be off there today and tomorrow so thought i would ring NCTS for the craic while having a cup of tea and feeding the pooch to see if i could improve on 20th July booking i got on the 10th of may (headed up to blanch later in the week and nct being out 5 months = not good)
    and got a date at 9.35 tomorrow :)

    Weather allowing got a nice list of stuff planned for today.

    Wash/detar/wash/clay/polish/hoover and clean out my interior.

    Might even try out my new axle stands and paint my calipers and put on my new dmb decals.

    But for now im doing a fry up while watching premiership years on sky sports and bringing said pooch for a ramble.

    I've heard he's gone.
    Didn't spot a prison thread.

    Myself and James had our clashes of opinion but he was a good lad for the forum. I'll miss him about the place.

    He picked out/suggested my current motor :(

    Ive never had a run in with him, must be down to a mutual dislike for a certain car brand :pac::D

    There was a prison thread alright, 'took it' with dignity.

    Think he's gone, doubt he'll rereg, he still lost his bet though...:D

    We got on well I think, both tended to just take it easy and not clash often. :)
