My list would be:

air conditioning
power steering
built in sat nav
reversing camera
decent radio
blue tooth (for phone)

You seem to have forgotten:

"Sports" exhaust
Digital dump valve sound replicator
Go-fasta bodykit / stripes
Chipped engine
Massive alloys
Under-chassis blue LED downlighting

Time to take a break, whole site's down with a hideous error message (annoying as I was accessing the db 10x every 4 minutes with updates). Looks like the host had a big outage 5 days ago and it was hardware related, so I bet they are swapping out a disk and thinking nobody will notice.

Support call logged.... time for a chat.

Ok, thanks. That's £250 saved. I'll just to it with diet unless it gets more serious then.

I am not naturally 'faddy' so it just seems a bit uncharacteristically to both be going off foods I like and also be showing lots of 'into.erance' symptoms all the time.....

For the record, in the meantime, if you are avoiding all eggs and have a cake yearning, there are hundreds of eggless cake recipes out there ... and lists of egg replacements.

There are features listed above that I've never seen!

I want: good carrying capacity, good fuel efficiency, reliability, remote control locking. Ideally the smaller the better, as that does mean there are more parking slots available .... but that can clash with the requirement for carrying capacity. Currently driving something far bigger than needed... far bigger. Next car will be same style (boxy), but dinky.

He's not that old yet ... when he hits his mid life crisis he'll be out buying that gear and fitting it ... not just listing it on a website

Over these past few weeks we have noticed that our ageing German Shepherd seems to have developed an ache in her legs that she tends to put her feet into her mouth and nibbles at them mostly in the evening.

Last thing at night she pops into the garden to make herself comfortable before bedtime but last night she found it almost impossible to get her back legs to work and I thought about one of our cats a few years ago had the same problem but his was a terminal problem and he passed away shortly afterwards, so I was a worried bunny when I saw her plight.

It took a little time to get her to rise and she wobbled like a drunken sailor but made it outside for her comfort call and made it to her bed.

Well me being me kept awakening and checking on her condition and she seemed ok. This morning when it was time to get up she was back to her normal self to my relief and my OH.

My OH and I took her to the vet first thing this morning and he checked her over and found that she had the symtoms of musculo-skeletal dissorders and prescribed Metacam for her to take with her meals.

So a happy ending was had by all except the vets bill came to £91.00 ouch but then she is worth every penny if it gives her a better quality of life.:)

We will be watching her closely for any side effects that may develop from this drug.

This sounds like a novel way to send grandparents away on a mystery holiday with all paid for.

I am only joking really.

Oh yes, air conditioning. I love air con. This car has air con, but it doesn't work :mad:.

My air conditioning doesn't work either. And I paid just over double your budget :eek: I must chase up the previous owner, who promised they would get the air con fixed for me this year. Hopefully my mum will be more pleasant to deal with than missk's garage
