Being reminded that you questioned one of the directors as to whether they really were that posh and demanded him to 'talk normal' at the conference in a drunken state by the man himself this morning haha it’s a good job he took it well!

My mate walked into the garage today, and said, "I thought you had a Mini in here!: I said, "Well, I have most of a Mini in here. The doors, boot and bonnet are in my wardrobe, but the rest is somewhere in here... Under the bench I think"

FAGGOTS. Had my car keys stolen for my mini this evening :( only have 1 immobiliser fob too so had to trailer him home :/

-
IainStallard
Keys were stolen nowhere near home so I think in that respect I'm safe, CCTV footage has been caught of the offender so hopefully they can be caught

My keys were in my girlfriends bag which was handed in when we went ice skating in Brighton last night. Her bag was handed back to a group of 3 girls who described her bag. She lost her bag, her house keys, her license, card and money along with my car keys. Fortunately the rink will be paying out in full for any losses caused. Just an absolute nightmare

My Vectra ticked over the 100,000 mile mark today. Its not as impressive though these days with modern cars.

Only problem with modern cars, especially diesels, is they cost a fortune when they do go wrong. I think 200k is the new 100k.

My old 306 turbo diesel passed the 200k mark recently. Still runs great and the original turbo is still producing factory spec boost. Great engines :-)

Why take the stereo out, unplug it all and leave it half way back in the slot then leave it, really glad I've leave my car unlocked sometimes as they could have smashed a window all for a stereo that you would be lucky to get a tender for then not even take it lol

Hate the awkwardness of accidently pressing add friend on a random persons facebook page

Not as awkward as deciding whether to delete them when they accept
