It's a rally car actually! But you weren't far out. I think that's what brazilianwax has.

I'd love one of those, but too expensive for me

I though I was doing pretty good to know it was a car:rolleyes:

Its one of my favourite places in the UK:D

Better than Lakeside:D (sorry Jeannie:D )

Don't apologise - hate the place. Don't like Bluewater either - I'm not a shopping precinct type of person, too many people getting in my way.

I'm loving your husband - he has excellent taste. He'd get the Spurs thing

I'll show him it:D

All his brothers are Millwall fans (Actually I think all his family are Millwall fans).

When they mention about being a turncoat (not supporting the local team), he says its coz he actually likes football that he supports Arsenal & not Millwall.

Yeah so shes high anyway. A group one/two/three new car will be much the same as a 10 year old Nova.

Anyway, when does the next plate come out? Is it September?

Actually no, because the value of the car DOES affect the cost of the insurance as well .

I would suggest test driving the cars she likes for her, and then looking for an ex-demonstration model from a dealer. Having worked in the motor industry, and been the poor, unfortunate Customer Relations Assistant on the end of the phone: I can assure you that the first year in the life of many a car can be more problematic than the following five! A friends daughter had just been out and bought a one year old Focus - which is absolutely immaculate with only 4K on the clock - and it cost approximately 45% of the "new" price - and came with a few extras that the "new" one would not have had - like a very high end stereo.

Her Focus was unfortunately the result of an older gentleman passing away - but those sort of bargains are out there - and make much more MSE sense than a brand new one:D . I have personally had two ex-demo cars (whilst working for said manufacturer) in my life - but I would never buy a brand new car (even if I won the lottery - lol) because I would see that BIG depreciation as you drive off the forecourt as a total waste of money. I've always said that I'd rather buy a year old (or even two or three year old of some makes) car, and have a big party for my friends with a fraction of what I saved on the "new" price.

I love parties:T . A car is just transport!

Oooh not Millwall. Remember the Millwall v West Ham fan clashes? Not nice, good your husband changed over to the Gunners.

Youngest son is up the Emirates on Sunday (he'd be there Sat as well if not working) - tournament on over the weekend, be prepared to be ignored MrsE - Sky one are covering it.

And when I said street car - what I actually meant was street legal car.

Pretty sure rally cars can go on the street, you usually see them racing about muddy places more suited to a 4x4.

I "think" top gear said its the fastest street legal car in the UK, but I could be wrong.

I think it could even be number one on the race board on top gear.

bang on MrsE!

But not sure on the last part - could be. Love the threesome on TG.. still missing Top Gear Dog tho.. think he lives with Richard Hammond.

It's not

They are superb though. A veyron is street legal and is 3 times the horsepower it's 30 times more expensive though.

Hubby never followed Millwall.

One of the nicest guys I ever met used to be quite a top member of the bushwackers (it was bushwackers wasn't it?). Funny that, he was such a sweetie, you would never think it.

Millwall are bloody stupid anyway, because they go everywhere & smash peoples areas up, when others went to millwall they wanted to smash Millwalls local area up, but Millwall are so thick they do it themselves.
