    You bought it or you sold it?

    It looks really cool with those spots.

    Bought it.......kinda. It's part of the furniture here for ages, gets moved from the workshop to the yard and back so I got it cleaned up and stuck it in the MINI showroom.

    Looks really cool alongside all the new models.

    Got myself a nilfisk power washer today. No stopping me now...once I figure out which attachment is the one for the car and which one pulls the paint off the car :o

    Tight lipped until I have it - with my luck it could fall through;)

    It's nothing special mind but I've wanted one for a while.

    Heres the way I see it - if you can afford to do it - and can do it - then its fantastic to be in that position - so fair play.

    Hope the new car works out well.

    Only issue I have is - I wanna know what it is :D

    Yeah, SG made me an offer I couldn't refuse on the diesel Astra. I've never seen anyone get so excited about an Opel tbh:p

    I wouldn't say it will make any difference to muppetcheck :)

    Out of curiosity is that a ford or engine or what's the story with it did someone say it's the same as the 1.6tdci just with a smaller bore.

    On an unrelated note, does anyone know if a car will fail the NCT if the rear electric windows aren't working? My Civic is going in soon, so far I can't find anything wrong with it bar that.

    Nope, only drivers window needs to open, for hand signals.

    It's like someone went out and brainwashed the majority of the population.

    The chap tax diesel craze is ridiculous people look at me like I have ten heads when they realise I drive a petrol engine.
