Thanks Vince. Obviously not what the director drives then!

Yeah, I think I need my head checking sometimes. AND he never has to wash his car as I wash it after I've done mine most weekends!!!

Get an ant trap - seriously!!! It's a round disc thing that you stick some sticky stuff in. The ants take the bait back to the next and then they should all (hopefully) expire.

Bl**dy short cuts

I've got an IS200 and it cost me something like £120 ish for Dunlop SP9000s at Kwick Fit in Slough

Thursday night is badminton night - oooh, what an exciting life I lead!

One of our directors here has one. I discovered that when he nearly drove into my car

On average, how long does the aircon last? I'm sure mine isn't as cold as it should be!

Bit of Red Hot Chili Peppers always does the trick - just play it loud!!! B) Older stuff would include a bit of BBM (Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker and Gary Moore), Aretha Franklin...

You'll have to ask my husband LOL

A mild-mannered man was tired of being bossed around by his wife; so he went to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist said he needed to build his self-esteem, and so he gave him a book on assertiveness, which he read on the way home. He had finished the book by the time he reached his house. The man stormed into the house and walked up to his wife. Pointing a finger in her face, he said, "From now on, I want you to know that "I" am the man of this house, and my word is law! I want you to prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished eating my meal, I expect a sumptuous dessert afterward. Then, after dinner, you're going to draw me my bath so I can relax. And, when I'm finished with my bath, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?" "The ****ing funeral director," said his wife.

Thought the 'Fro brigade might be appreciative of this... :zee:

Just got back from seeing T3... the Terminatrix (looked worringly like Tamsin Outhwaite from Eastenders to me?!) drove an SC430. Least she had taste :winky:

If there any GOLD members interested in this sort of stuff, check out the GOLD discount section for my post on the AutoGlym version.

My main bug bears are people who can't stay in their lane when going around a roundabout and who cut me up, and people with their front fogs on when it's not needed.

Happy birthday :D

Dunno about 6-pack - I've got a Party 7

Hi Teddy, Yes it does make a difference, I've noticed that on my car if I have the aircon on it saps a little power from the acceleration. It's been like that in the other cars I've driven too. Not a huge affect on performance, but I have noticed a small difference!

On my way to JAE I filled up with Optimax, at JAE Wildrnes came over asking for £3 to buy me some additive stuff to make the car run even better....brilliant, certainly made the car kick - must have been like running on 100 Ron

From a health perspective this is terrible. The level of weight training he's have to do to 'sculpt' his body like that is too much for someone of his age. His bones won't be fully developed/strong enough and surely he's opening himself up for problems later?!?! What happened to kids his age playing footie to keep fit

I like the mini's but it is ridiculous the cost of extras - makes it a very expensive car to buy considering the original minis were cheap and cheerful

Definitely the GS430, it's a fantastic car and I prefer it to the IS300

Steve, cheque'll go in the post this weekend. Thanks, Claire

I've always used Autoglym for the interior - dash spray and leather cleaner. Since a recommendation from Matt McNally, I bought the Zymol leather cleaner (available in Halfords). I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it smells good!

Simon and his mate had a great time and he mentioned he'd seen you Ian and Loz. Apparently he parked up in the Honda and stuck on the LOC plates! He's definitely a Lexus convert and we both love the GS430. If we start saving now, we might be able to get one when we retire
