They never checked my battery in the test. I guess they couldn't find it.
It's under the floor at the drivers feet. :pac:

They never found it in the Defender either. Hiding underneath the passenger seat in a little sealed compartment.

Ah music peaked in the 80's really. I like anything from thrash metal to glam rock to death metal to country music.
If you see my ipod it will have Brad Paisley or Steve Earle mixed in with Steel Panther and Deicide

I was only taking the proverbial in the rest of that post haha

If you hadn't said glam...
At least you haven't publicly announced you like Avenged Seven Fold.

Uugh!

Got a RedC poll in my email on public transport. It asked me if I'd take a bus or car in certain scenarios.
However, the car in the picture was a Fiesta ST. :pac:

Guess what I picked.

Down my way they would be confused as the people that picked the fiesta would call it some bus to go

Other than the headlight lint I also think it looks class!!
Those wheels are savage too, a third of the price wrapped up in there, easily.

So yeah, do it.

The 1.8's are low compression as standard and mad for a bit of forced induction!
Go for it man!

One window later and I have Central Locking and the e60 back

Looks skangerized, plus there are lots of skidmarks on the road beside the car in the last pic.

JapScrap imo!

I found that once you get past 25, insurance gets more reasonable (and the late late show gets more interesting)

I swear, that term should be a perms bannable offence, especially when the poster owns a diesel BMW.

I've found the real reduction comes when you're 28, especially when you want to buy something fast.

As for the Late Late show........:D

Now now, what has the 516d got to do with this?
Won't have it for long anyway

- not redneck enough!

I'm hardly that ferocious. :pac:

Having trouble getting quotes on my car without NCT on it... May have to get some one to trailer it to an NCT centre for me.

YbFocus · 13-11-2013 05:15PM

We have a trailer here for the drift car man if it suits, There wouldn't be a prob some evening I reckon!

To hell with it you could probably bring it in the truck!

CianRyan · 13-11-2013 05:32PM

Cheers for the offers, lads. Still ring around as of yet. How big is that flat bed?

Aviva gave me a heavily discounted quote of €3300 TPFT, it's high because it has a big engine. :pac:
At least they didn't need NCT I guess. Haha

Sure she's a Japanese touge monster, no way you'll get a better quote :pac:
That's a ridiculous quote!

you could try XS direct, I am sure you could get a quote for around €1000 or less.

CianRyan · 13-11-2013 05:40PM

I've been trying to stay away from them but I think I will give them a go, I'll just try hard not to crash my little hair dresser touge monster.

Sure the excess with XS direct is 3-4k, if that is the sort of quote you are getting anyway, makes sense to go with XS direct

Or try Britton Insurance, I always found them cheap (that's who I'm with for the bmw @750 p/a with 1 year NCB and a previous claim in the past 3 years)
Although I am old!

I think with a ramp up she would fit in the flat bed! Certainly would have in the f350 but this one is a bit smaller so I am not positive.

maceocc2 · 13-11-2013 06:14PM

I went with XSDirect for the E38, I took the 3K excess, and with just named driver experience (Zero NCB) I was fully comp. insured for €690.

I was finding the same, 3-4K with other insurers, so for me it made sense to take the excess.

Autosport · 13-11-2013 07:13PM

Well I must say the Dutch seem to like their cars, have spotted 2 Audi R8's, Jag XK, Bentley which I must say took my breath away and some sexy Astra's

I must post up a pic of a beautiful Volvo I spotted earlier today a pure classic

P.S Avenged Sevenfold are brilliant CianRyan :P

I don't appreciate pseudo metal.

Going to throw a breaking ad up for the Almera, don't sure how to word it exactly.
I've not got the tools to break it myself so it's a come and take the part you need off yourself deal... Hmm.

Tbh you'll probably be a while trying to sell it like that. Best to just weigh if in as is
