    The 16v beats 8v moments... when someones keeping up with you off the mark up to about 3500 revs, then your 16v keeps going and their 8v tops-out, then the same again happens in each gear....

    Yeah Yeah, should have guessed when I went in to get it fitted and all the staff had baseball caps and Rockports on !!

    Getting it fixed next week or i'll be re-inacting a scene from GTA3 at the shop !!! Wanted to ask you, I got a 106 today as a courtesy car while my old insurers re-do the paint job they messed up. How on earth do you get in your g/f's 106, I can't get in without my knees touching the steering wheel - have you removed the front seat or what !?!?

    nah.. as its the QuikSilver its got a littler GTi steerin wheel and the GTi seats which apparently go back further than the standard ones... so with the seat right back and the wheel at its highest its not really a prob...

    so how's the alloys lookin?? you blown your wad on the tires for 'em yet?

    Honking and waving at the idiot that passsed you in an unsafe place (thinking he's god's gift to road hazards ) as you pass by him five miles down the road while he's parked on the shoulder awaiting his ticket from the law enforcement officer

    Erm, i was kidding m8e

    Not picked them up yet but they are ready... £300 all in for a full refurb on all 4 and Pirelli P6000's all round balanced and fitted - Well chuffed.

    BiggehXP - It's a custom stainless jobbie and the fitters are saying it's not them - so i'm talking to the manufacturer about it, have to take it in next week.

    Another one for the list from my g/f - parking when she's in her Cinq and it fits between the two posts in the multi-storey that shouldn't be wide enough for a car (same applies with an original mini I suppose - same width ) especially when the car park's full !
