Re: Footpump recommendation?

I've had a Halfords double pump for the last 2-3 years. Worked fine. And it means I get to skip leg day.

I had an electric pump with the Merc and it was a loud as fuck. Would wake the street up.

Re: Just looking

There is a lovely yellow Exige Roadster which I could just about afford if I broke the bank at Oakmere. It's still there and it tempts me regularly. It was always my plan to sell the Elise and get the Evora, but the fact that I'm a big girl and enjoy converties does keep making me question my choice...

Re: Worst case of 40mph everywhere folk

Alot of these people passed their test 20-30 years ago (or more). Its crazy to think that in these days of OTT health and safety you only need a quick 45 minutes to prove you're 'capable' and you're all set for the next 50 years. Why were mandatory re-tests never introduced? Every 10 years, you've g...

Did they do a 5 door one of those?
The rear boot can be a door, if you want it to be.

He also says he doesn't like Japanese design. He's wrong. Possibly racist, but I'm not judgemental.

Because like in life, we should be putting things together neartly, not just throwing it all into one box. I mean, you don't put your pants and socks in the same drawer, do you? Were not savages.

Re: Postbot is drunk

Yeah it's not the best :( It keeps getting confused, the mod creator claims it's how some feeders ammend their news which changes the list, and so the Bot just dumps all the news again.

I might take it down TBH. I have to keep deleting the duplicates!

Maurice's Exige + Golf combo is pretty perfect in my eyes 8-)

I won't bother posting a picture of the Bora...because it's not worth the bandwidth. The Elise, however, is:
