i actually spelt it with a c at first and couldnt remember

Stephen, look at the strut tops on the gsi, make sure they aint fooked, they go easily, look for the usual rusty arches and have a good look at all ball joints and suspension as it can get a bit knocky. it is missing a bit of the trim on the door though.

Rubix_Cube · 07-10-2008, 22:14

Well got a lookie a the veccy in the daylight - seems better than before so going on a mega scrappy hunt to fix (Read : Cheap bas!ard ) and put the bus back together !

Walking to work is interesting though - I forgot how much effort it takes

Much work to fix ze cav dexy ?

Whats everyone's plans for the weekend - I need to find a decent night out somewhere

Mark_F · 07-10-2008, 22:47

My attempt at having a better day at work today was a turtle failure. I'm relaxing now with the best of SoccerAm. May sling on a doovdé?

how can you tell or do you know the car?

The rear bumper looks darker too. Maybe its the angle of the shot

Mark_F · 07-10-2008, 22:53

From the plate lad. Its either a 1.4 Merit or a GSI with a 1.4 Merit's reg plate on. Log book will reveal all.

Gaz-M · 07-10-2008, 23:00

Go onto askmid.com, its an insurance check site.

Type in your reg, If its insured it normally comes up what kind of car it is and the model.

Mark- read yer PM, those speedlines are mine!

Rubix_Cube · 07-10-2008, 23:31

Gaz-M · 08-10-2008, 00:05

Whe-hey i like that! Added to favorites for the occasional nosey check.

Used to be able to use Ebay aswell, use the auto-fill for advertising a car, type in the reg and it auto filled in the cars information!

I see, sounds fun. Take it you work on an oil rig? Do you get to go in a helicoper to get there or do they boat you in.

Missus got me the other one (first album?) for our anniversary today, way more dancey than In Silico, still like it though. As for seeing them live, it's on the to do list

Gutted for you Derek. Hope it's a simple fix with the 4x4 cause if the accumulator bulbs fooked and fuse 19 not been pulled out i think it's a new transfer box

rickisgrate · 08-10-2008, 09:30

Hopefully
