Well, the Renault, is a Renault. So I hope you are a good mechanic. Also according to customer satisfaction surveys and my friends who have one the Swindon-built Civic isn't brilliantly screwed together. The ST, according to what I have heard, is the Bargain of the century. But I say get a Leon Cupra... :p :D :o ;) :p :D :o ;)

No, as insurance on a cupra will be outrageous until i am at least 23 or so.

The passat is a great car (we had one) but i think gracer had more of a sporty car in mind. although if you wait the 3.6 V6 Passat R36 will come out, and i want one. the renault however...

Your looking for something sporty then, Hmmmmm, Mitsubishi Lancer, Honda Civic Si '06.

Ford isnt really sporty, More muscley. How much would a Lotus cost in the UK

P.S, Seats arent Sport cars, The engine is, which is why the insurance and taxes in the car are high

Focus ST, without a doubt!

If nothing happens with my current Focus 1.6 LX, I'm going to run that into the ground then get myself a decent 2nd hand Focus ST in about 4-5 years.

They look good, if it's anything like the 2003 Focus, it'll handle very well too!

The new focus is out soon and theres an St version. i wolud choose diesiel over petrol anyday. Alfa 159 is a nice car aswell.

I better not say what I thought of the game tbh!:rolleyes:
I notice that the FA are holding an emergency meeting this morning, its a bit of an ortopsy approach if you ask me. McLaren should have gone before now, I know its easy to say after the event, but I wasn't exactly inspired by the appointment when Sven was given the boot.
How long can England underachieve before the FA take some of the blame?
The squad need longer to prepare before games, even if it makes the domestic season longer by a month. Drop all the silly pre-season friendly tournaments so the players get a proper break.
I hope we appoint an Englishman again, because it stands to reason they are the only ones that will be passionate about our game.
Im not making excuses, but I did think the pitch was shocking last night. It doesn't help that american football was played on it, what is that all about?
I know all the rain didn't help, but for 750 million could we not have a roof?
Anyway, Im not as disappointed as I would have been at another quaterfinal or semifinal exit. So thats some consolation, I guess.:rolleyes:

Ps;
Glad to hear you had a good time Kez!:)

Im not making excuses, but I did think the pitch was shocking last night. It doesn't help that american football was played on it, what is that all about?
I know all the rain didn't help, but for 750 million could we not have a roof?
Anyway, Im not as disappointed as I would have been at another quaterfinal or semifinal exit. So thats some consolation, I guess.:rolleyes:

Ps;
Glad to hear you had a good time Kez!:)

I had a great time thanks!

England were poor all over... The pitch didn't help and I agree with you, there should have been a roof or heating or part astro turf. The amounts of times an England player slipped over in the box was unbelivable.

Thank god Steve has been sacked, as well as Terry, I wasn't happy about either appointment.

Hopefully we'll get someone who has a little bit of football aggression and can actually get us somewhere.

It's a real shame that a lot of the "Past masters" only want to be football pundits on BBC or Sky Sports.

Anyway rant over. :p

There are times when the players are more to blame than the managers.

However on this occasion FA have made the correct decision in sacking the pair of them. We've struggled all through qualifications when we should have been dominating a lot of the matches.

Definitely do not deserve our 11th world ranking!

Well in his time with us, his most used phrase was "Bitterly Disappointed" in the after match comments.

To be fair though, he did help secure promotion. I went to the playoff final with Mansfield at the Millennium Stadium at the end of the 2003/04 season, it was a great game, went down to penalties and we won 4-1. What a thriller!

TDI 1.9 Elements is okay for basic photo stuff, but the full photoshop has everything you could ever do. However I think that software called "Gimp" is free and has plenty of features. I haven't used it myself though.

Laura, don't go any where the forum is certainly quieter when you're not around.

Cute pets though. I love Labradors, I would love to have a yellow Labrador one day :rolleyes:

I used to have a sandy coloured floppy eared rabbit called.... "Sandy" I know, I got him specifically so I would could call him Sandy.

Instead I now have a black cat called "Meow Meow" and that's because that's all she does!

I hope us three (Laura, TDI1.9 and me) are not hijacking this thread too much. I just like talking to people.

:D

Nothing wrong with that :)

Guy's a great driver, TV personality and he drives a great car.

Maybe everyone else is in the off-season and will come back online in March?

hi kezza, i wouldnt worry about turning this thread into a chit chat appreciation show ... editor1 allowed us this thread so I'm sure if we were going out of line, they'd have said something by now!
I think it is great having a section where we can get together and have idle chit chat about things in general rather than motorsport all the time ... it is how we gel and anyhow I'm sure if we were down the local pub having a drink, our conversation would waver to and fro about different things so I'm sure everything is fine!

Tampere ... I've got a friend there! She's a penpal from when I was 6 and we're still very good friends now and I am 24! She has been to Newcastle to visit me once ... which she thought was wicked but we keep in touch by email, phone and letter. It costs me a bit to ring though and texts are about 40p so after a while the bill has creeped up!

Yeah, there was loads, a few kittens too. They clip their ears so you know they know which ones are wild. Some are also neutered to keep numbers down.

That's brilliant.

I think we all have friends that we keep in contact with no matter what happens with our paths. I certainly have a couple that keep coming back. :)

All good though and with the invention of Facebook I can keep up to date with them more often.

So fingers crossed.
