I thought they were ditched? Were they not the purple cards we got as EU citizens? - Ah, just googled, so a GHIC card replaces the one I was thinking of, cheers.

Happy Birthday you elderly gents.

I didn't realise one could do travel insuance but now you've said it, it seems blindingly obvious. I shall do that, cheers

It does look like the concept cars of the future, from my childhood.

The Volvo flashed an oil level warning a few tiumes in warm weather so my local garage siphoned some off as apparently if you fill them (Or 4 banger Merc engines) to the full line, they do that.

They also put adblue in.

Having done a few long trips in it, I definitely prefer it to the S5, I prefer ...

I am off to Spain with my no1 baby in a couple of weeks, just a few days visiting relatives.
The kids have always been covered by our bank account, but she has turned 18, very selfishly, so I was gong to buy
a years insurance as I assume that is the way to go.

She may not go abroad for the rest of ...

Way back from Edinburgh after my 15 year old had had a TP driving lesson spotted a light blue 288 GTO, then a few miels later two modern Ferraris.
A yellow 12 cylindri and a silvery white one, not exactly sure as I was driving into a roundabout and nebbing at the yellow one!

Ended up behind some new Vauxhall yesterday and realised the indicators on the back of eth car are pretty much invisible during daylight at least. Only realised it was indicating due to the tip of the wionng mirror flashing.

You would think that sort of thing would have been noticed before ...

I spent £40 on some Kicker ankle boots maybe 15 years ago or more, they are still like new, but I barely wear shoes nowadays. Like others on here, I live in trainers, at the moment Salomon rr0 139 bought from a discount onlin retailer for £60 and I absolutely love them.

I also have two pairs of ...

G81 Touring for me please.

No, I suppose it makes little difference, but if I left it the other way round, they would have to walk round the bin to push it, rather than pull it. I haven't given teh matter a lot of thought prior to this thread.

I pull it by the handle toward the street from where it sits, but I would spin it to save the scaffies a few moments.

My daughter's insurance is due for renewal in early May, I got a quotation for £184 for the year and knew it couldn't be right, it was cheap when she had a provisional, but the monthly payment wennt up to £193 when she passed in December.

Had a crack at the site, realised her details had her as ...

Nice, I suspect the S6 would have been out of my budget although had you kept it another year or two, I would likely have asked.

Having just got rid of the S5 and gone back to a diesel estate, I suspect I would get lynched if I suggested changing again! :D

I have seen the colour (I think) on ...

This is a great place to just write it all out. I am very lucky to have friends who I can speak to about pretty much anything, but having this place to just lay it all out is fantastic.

It is hard enough when it is a parent and they have lived into their 80s, but someone young (relatively so) is so ...

When one of my kids asked for a twin pack R8 and GT3 RS I had high hopes. Neither of them has an interest in cars any more. I still have a box in the attic of some of my old ones, ut alas, I decided to "customise" some in my teens so many just look effing awful.

Some nice displays there though ...

I haven't really taken any. It is a nice enough car but not really exciting. I will try and take a couple and get them up on here.

V60, I don't need V90 size and I slightly prefer the shape of the 60.

Has a lot of toys which is nice. Definitely doesn't me as nice a noise, but the HK upgraded stereo cover it nicely.
