    My mum said this to me once. I ended up taking my dad a packed lunch and a flask of tea a for dinner a few days later when he was waiting on the side of the A41 for a tow truck to pick up his focus.

    If that's the case get the most recidulously powerful supercar you can. Like a 600bhp impreza. And say it's reliable, modern, and safe with enough power to drift... Then see what they say to the mini lol

    He made them suffer the process of 'let's have a look at what you could have won'And it was a set of kitchen appliances.
    One thing i never understood is most of the contestants are mates from the pub so how do they share a caravan or a car or as you say a speedboat?

Such a nice feeling when you've finally finished something that you've been dreading and putting off for ages.

Big decision to make, stay with what I'm doing, or go to Uni...

    Completely agree with the above. The experience of the apprenticeship will be more valuable than anything else in my opinion. Have you spoken to your current employers? They may be able to get you the same qualifications whilst employing you at the same time.

    if you like it where you are stay. don't get in to debt if you don't need to. experience and a god reference will be worth as much as a degree anyway!

Why do people advertise stuff, take your money and then inform you 48 hours later that they don't have the parts and they will be on a back order. I won't be getting my koni shocks in time for my MOT so now have the hassle to cancelling the order and sourcing them from elsewhere. Thanks for nothing demon tweaks.

    I've dealt with minisport as well before. I am happy to deal with them at the shows but I will never order from them online again.

    its always an important bit too, like a gearbox thrust washer out of stock for a kit they send out, so you can only build a little bit untill its in stock 3 weeks later

Just missed a lycra-clad cyclist who cut across an intersection illegally while I was turning today. When I tapped the horn he flipped me the bird and proceeded to start yelling at me. All I could make out was "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM, TOUGH GUY?" Awesome. Next time I won't hit my brakes and we can see who wins in the collision. >:(

    It's well known that lycra-clading gives super hero type powers and resists all but kryptonite

    Seems to be alot of cyclists like this in Cornwall at the minute, most them in the middle of busy national speedlimit lanes.
