Re: [All] [Generic] Hello again

pics in due course; a few things i have to do to get the outside looking right; then im planning on changing the interior from blue to black; half of its done already so i may as well finish it off.

i always wanted a white one so now white is officially the fastest colour :eye:

Re: Mark Edwards next toy.....

Interesting views! But if a person is driving around in a replica 355; does it matter that he's lying to everyone around him? The only people who should genuinley be upset are actual 355 owners.... these replica's must have de-valued them somewhat!... but who cares how the rich feel :) I cant see no...

Re: insurance cat writeoff question

From my understanding its MORE hassle for the insurance company to take it on as they have to pass it onto a salvage yard who will give them a fixed nominal sum. I thought insurance compaines will offer you the car to buy back at around the same nominal value which isnt alot really. They wont decide...

Leave the poor lass alone!!! Nah; i would do what Toni has said; then if you dont get a response in say 7 days; send a knocked up official looking solicitors letter (as suggested)saying that you intend to file a claim at the local small claims court (find out the closest one in brighton/blackburn).....

Re: R.I.P

okay buy the car back and strip it for parts.

with regards to the offer; reject it and send them ads for similar cars that are selling for around £5k.

they always offer less but if you can prove that they are worth more then they will pay more; just takes a little time

good luck

Re: [Mk2 ] Crossing fords (not the cars)

slightly off on a tangent but you know as we get more flooded roads here than we used to before, what is the best way to cross them??? what do you have to watch for??? is it mainly water getting in through the exhaust system??? or something else as well? or do you you just cross and hope for the best?

Re: Got Caught Speeding VERY LUCKY

no it's all legal, you aren't forced into a race you do it by choice. one of the reasons i don't "race" strangers, just have harmless fun with mates sometimes (very rarely now though) they have another trap were they leave a car unlocked or an easy target and rig the car to remote control...

Re: Which looks best??

You will have a CF bootlid (if the GB is sorted)... a CF (or even a CF look-alike) rev3 centre panel might look really good... need to photoshop it really!

but forget the rest... that rear fog is ugly dude... we need a poll on that and best position for it????

i vote the bin!
