Looks like a headless dog walking on hot coals, sounds like a wasp.

Well done them, very realistic.

right now I'm eating a Rustlers Burger with Bacon and Cheese

Did you add the bacon yourself? Because the Rustlers down here, don't have bacon on them.

Now eating: Calippo - My local One Stop is selling them (as well as many other 'big name' ice creams for 30p)

I'll be there

After reading that appalling post, and checking your age, I can strongly advise you NOT to do any kind of overclocking. Just be happy with what you have got and don't even try because you may Harjun your PC.

My Dads PC has been acting a real arse for a while, he recently bought an external HDD and a few other things. He wants to put his XP back to factory settings to start fresh, but I understand Microsoft removed the option to restore back to factory settings in the "System Restore"

He doesn't have the original XP disk as it was pre-installed by [whisper]PC World[/whisper] but he has been upgraded so it isn't a PC World Product anymore

But how would he put it back to factory settings without the XP Install disk?

Bought this on eBay, haven't read it yet though.

Dairy Milk - Fruit & Nut

Yums!

Rugby? ROFL.

I'm not eating anything, just wanted to laugh at Nathan.

*hides*

As was the "old one" Joe

Gotta love the chain!

Congrats on your new job and new home

Nice to hear a happy story once in a while

Me? I'm working now, starting at 9am, finishing at 5pm. Going home to sleep, then I start work again at 3am, finish at 8am then I start this job again at 9am till 5pm. I live at home, but my cat loves me again...She stays in my room all the time >.<

But, but, but...HOW?

Quote from niall09 :

Who is this DR Niall you speak of?

You left or got kicked?

Mooney, I didn't it to sound like I was pointing out the obvious. I know how people put higher spec wheels/bumpers/etc onto their cars. I didn't want to say his car is a so-and-so, so I just gave you a nudge in the right direction as I knew what car Frenchy has.

Sorry if it came across the wrong way, thats a forum for you...

I heard V-Power is much better for miles too...

Motoring cost the same for everyone, but when you first start you have a lot more to pay for. Example using averages...

Lessons - £500
First Car - £500
Making Car Roadworthy - £300
MOT - £50
Tax - £100
Insurance - £1500
Full Tank Of Fuel - £50

Total - £3000.

The thrill of driving - Priceless.

Three grand is hard to come by when you only earn about £1000 (give or take) a month. Thus, you have to borrow money, then you spend ages paying it back.

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

Well maybe, but for its condition (MINT apart from the mark on the rear bumper...which is sorted now) and the mileage, i thought it was going pretty cheap. I may have exagerated with the "VERY" though

Jesus Jakg, she's a stunner!

I hope the "Niall" comment, wasn't pointed at me, rather than [DR] Niall

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

I have just put some new alloys on it to replace the M3 ones

The clue is in bold...

Can I smell piss?

Mods, the old people have wet themselves again!

Quote from spiderbait90 :

I dont really see the point... A better way of enforcing these people who at the age or 17 take their test and then drive like nutjobs after they get a licence, would be to double the fines, and points a driver gets on his licence untill he has held the licence for 5 years or so. Then the chances are the nutjobs will have had their licences revoked because of speeding.

Haven't they enforced this already?

Have they not thought of all the drink driving that will go on if the age is changed to 18. People need a year of near misses, or general idiotic driving to realise that drink driving is definitely out of the question.

Also, there seems to be a lot of people here saying that even at 18 people are still not responsible. Of course that does not account for everyone. I know 30 year olds that are not responsible.

9.3 is absolute bull...

Kia are not exactly known for squeezing everything they can out of an engine. Its pretty much impossible to get the full potential out of the engine when it is built down to a price.

Also, most cars these days, the speedo is about 10mph out - give or take...so you were actually measuring the 0-50mph time.

Also 11.2 to 60 is a long time and no where near Golf GTi standards. My 1.6 petrol BMW does 0-60 is 10.something seconds. I will not be able to beat a Golf GTi...

I'm in the same boat as McGas and I am actually THAT skint Bob, I'm afraid mate.
