Re: Gritters

I drove round Norway in march (absolutely stunning country), but it amazed me how fast the locals drive on roads laden with black ice - now i'm no slouch and would consider myself fairly confident as a driver, but I had people overtaking me on said black iced, winding single-lane mountainous roads a...

Re: what difference will 3 points make to my insurance?

Short answer? none.

i got 3 points about 4 years ago and it didn't (seem) to affect my premium at all - I think with all the speed cameras and checks going on nowadays it's generally "accepted" that people are gonna have some points.

Any more than 3 and you might start seeing a problem.

Re: DRL's can't now be turned off!

not entirely bullshit - i have a week 45 roc and the indicator method doesn't work for me at all! (trust me, i've tried everything)

i'd be inclined to believe the dealership on this occasion...

Re: Anyone go to a David Lloyd gym?

i'm with you spiney - why pay money to use a treadmill when you can jog around your park for free?

however, it really is a motivation thing i think... i took up running at the end of summer, but since the weather has been sh*t of late, i find myself staying in more than going out for a jog :)

Apparently it still says "on ship", but was told that'll be out of date as it's a day behind?

Re: DYNAUDIO SETTINGS

you have fitted it to your car?

Are you saying you had it retro-fitted?

Only reason I ask is that i'd love to do that, but was told it's not really possible :/
