Final post A word of thanks to the member who left my only negative rep; without identifying themselves; and with the comment "See ya!" Thats the attitude I will not miss.

Well said. Shame others don't.:confused: Bloke puts up a post. other rip into it. Think I'll call it a day here as well. :( Marc

Cor ! They went cheaply.

Our yahoo homepage lists all all sorts of site categories that can be accessed from cars to travel. I've noticed however that the "Personals" category in the list is in purple, while the rest are in blue - and so to anyone using the computer it looks as oif the last site visited was the...

For a while I have been concerned about this and also the tendancy for certain members to be very vocal and opinionated about others' modifications and cars. To the point that it seems downright rude, although I am sure that this is not their intention. All the more ironic when one considers...

I was appalled to hear the outcome of this case. Perhaps more in the context of the comparison of the 2 sentences. Taking the bear 8/9 months Steal a car. No insurance etc. Speeding. As if thats not bad enough. But to then kill a pedestrian. 12 weeks...

8.15pm Wednesday - just had a look at the forum - 621 members on line - wow! No shortage of Ford owners then

Sad news. Its a shame when you have to resort to actually not using your car in order to protect it. Is there no chance of simply ignoring it and hoping its a one off - CCTV set up for the future? Better still, one of those South African anti hijack devices that sets off a flame...

Just read this. Can't beleive what UK's coming to. Last week at traffic lights in central London, I'm there, window down, music playing enjoying the day. Smart car (of all things) pulls up beside me and both guys in the car start mouthing off and trying to start trouble! Calling me all sorts...

I'm with Peter here. The letter doesn't give any ultimatum. It sets out what you would do if they say no. If you really want a swap, then you'll need to be seen to dig your heels in more - even if that includes referring to legal advice in the letter etc Good luck marc

For what its worth I say keep the car and resolve the problems. My W211 was one of the first in the UK, and the catalogue of problems has been great. That said, I stuck with the car - perhaps for similar reasons that you might - I'd agonised over the decision; I'd waited a long time from...

So impressed by them I have bought a set. Thanks

Mine passed - the space saver is about 5 inches wide, the alloy 9". I guess they are running on roughly same diameter if correct profile tyres to the larger alloy

as in lizard? In the tyre? Bizarre :eek:

We were there yesterday and saw these lovely cars in the flesh. Good pictures. Nice thread.

Having done 340 miles yesterday returning home from Paris - on a space saver -(max speed 50mph) I would vote for an equivalent alloy wheel in the boot to use for when you kerb one of the others. This is the first time I've needed a space saver. It was 6 hours of hell. Bad handling and barely...

I've just paid the price for not checking the pressures on my tyres. They are only a "30" profile, and the rears, unknown to me, have obviously been running under pressure. This resulted in yesterday's blowout on the Paris autoroute. The surviving rear tyre was at 20 psi and was already...

I figures that as we were technically mobile theyt wouldn't want to know. We tried 2 tyre depots and an Audi dealer and all agreed getting a 19" tyre would be very very difficult. They had none in stock. So decided to trudge to the ferry as we were in danger of missing it.
