Re: Iphone help please

I've not done it but there is a company called "Connects2" that sells them. You can either get iDevice specific ones or something with a 3.5mm jack which will fit most mp3 devices.

Re: Name that car>>>>>>and petrol fights back!!!

Remember the Nova GSi's? Were they 1.8's in a small rusty shell = super quick?

My Mum had a R5 GT Turbo in a kind of pearl cream colour. Scared herself to bits in it....

Little update, I think I'm almost sorted.. Had it's VIC check this morning in Beverley. I had to get up at 5am to get there for 8am and be back in Leeds for 9am :shock: Of course it passed, the VOSA guy was a bit bemused why it had a VIC marker on, but said my car was really tidy for its age.

Re: how to defrost your windows-the easy way!

Slightly warm water and get ready with the wipers when you've put it on... that way the screen won't re-freeze. Win.

Take it your fixing it up then ?. Yep! It's at a place called Sprayteq having the green bumper repainted, then putting on the car, and the towbar end piece taking off. The car will be Cat C so will need to be re-MOT'd and then I should be back up and running. I toyed with the idea of getting a loan...

Is this wagon worth its money?

http://www.stratstone.com/VehicleSearch ... lse&type=1

£6424.

Not sure if it's fair because it's an estate and in a reasonably nice colour + SE trim or if it's over priced because of the mileage... thoughts gents?

Re: Cabbage Coppa no idea!!

This one is a similar thing, but this time 1) the guy holding the camera is being a bit of a rodder and 2) it ends in a bit of a scuffle. Video starts properly at 50 seconds.

Re: Shunted....

We still disagree on the valuation, they listed my car as being average for its age, but looking around at some of the B5's on the roads I disagree on that too.

In the meantime I have been looking at some B6 estates \:D/
