  1. happy ramadam guys! :)

    Correction Steve, Ramadhan or Ramzan :whistling: :winky:

    Got several minutes before we break our fast and well deserved ciggie right after that :blush: :winky:

    6.38PM here Mr Lex! Just got back in from work..

    You may as well give up smoking too..... :lol::whistling:

    6.33 down here :P :D

    Smoking....hate it until 6.33pm :whistling: :winky:

  2. Er... :duh: What have a started? :tomato:

    Sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone it was just an innocent well wishing thats all, same as we do at Christmas, Easter etc. I thought it would be a good idea to explain Ramadan and to provide a quick link inorder to prempt questions and help fellow members that may be interested in finding out abit more. Ramadan is not as widely understood in the UK as Christmas, Easter, Chinese New Year etc so I felt an explanation was appropriate. The link I posted was the result of a quick google search; I honestly didn't check what other sites it links too.. :D I WAS NOT trying to force religion on anyone.

    Agree with Lex-holic about things being too PC. My mum works in education and always tells me about new terms your not supposed to use; can't use the term whiteboard/blackboard in the classroom any more. You can't say "Black person", have to say Afrian Carribean Decent etc...... I mean come on, the same terms were used when I was a child and have been used for years and not caused offense...lilly livered liberals. :angry:

    We all know we are different, the differences should be embraced and celebrated, not covered up.

    You gotta question it, why PC is "too PC". As you stated about Black/White Boards and "Black person"....not too long ago the "N" word was "norm" (still is in some places but won't go into it) amonst other words and phrases. As time changes, people need to change with it or they will be locked up in this messed up and weird world!!! So to some "white board" can be offence and to some it isn't! You just gotta move with the time!

    "who moved my cheese" - personal joke, if you seen the film, then you'll know what I am talking about!!!!

  3. PS.  How the heck do you guys manage to fast for a whole month ?  I can't go 3 hours without calories.

    Dicipline!

    That's something I lack in when it comes to food I'm afraid :blink:

    lol...funnily enuff I love food and if I had the opportunity then I will eat 24/7 :blush: But I do, 11 months of it :P :D

    Lex-aholic, you should try to fast for one day...see what happends....only sunset-till- dawn :whistling::lol: :winky:

  4. The intention was not one of offence nor was I having a pop at Islam.

    My original post was compliant with the T&C of this site and is my own opinion, which I have a right to voice. The place for religion is in the home and the place of worship.

    That's your personal point of view, but "religion isn't just worshiping at home". It can be done anywhere. Clearly if you don't like it, you don't have to be there.

    Personally, if you didn't like the post, then you shouldn't have replied to it. Even though you saying it was complaint to the T&C's, it didn't come across like that. Everyone has right to make their views but there are ways of doing it! I am sorry but we do live in a world "political correctness".

  5. Drivers door only makes sense to me. It would be hard to drag the driver out through the passenger door, so carjacker would force the driver to go out the drivers door if they came in from that side.

    Also major pain in the butt to have to put the code in every time you drop a passenger off.

    Well its added security...and it makes sense to have all doors rather than one door only. It's not only carjacking...but theft as well...say they broke in from the other windows???

    Once you have the system, you can disable it for few seconds to let the passengers out without punching in any code....( :ph34r: ) ....

  6. It's all doors, not drivers only :winky:

    Depends on who set's it up i guess ?

    I thought it was just the drivers side door ...........

    Nope, it's meant to be all doors...if it's only driver side then the "carjacker" will always use other passenger doors to use the vehicle (that is if he/she knows about the blackjaxx system) :whistling: :winky:

  7. what does the blackjax device do? if the engine is still running at the time of vehicle getting nicked does it still immobilize?

    considering a gsm tracking device for next car, can any1 recommend any products?

    If you engine is running ............ and your drivers side door opens ........... you have a certain time limit (usually 30 seconds) from when you have to re-enter the code / pin.

    If the code is not entered after this time, the hazard lights and brake lights will start to flash on the car, warning everyone around you, then the car will come to a stop.

    The car will then not start again, even with the keys, until the code is entered !

    It's all doors, not drivers only :winky:

  8. Only seen it after being repaired. The owner is saying the bumper and one the front lights got damaged but all has been repaired or changed.

    Yeh...now im getting doubts on it...taking a mechanic with me later today for a better inspection but with all your responses and looking at other similiar models there are quite a few out there with better history/ no accidents.

  9. It's just one of those cars that looks "OK" and gotta admit I like it. Not for me though...for a family member. It's an Auto but bloody h3ll...I haven't seen a car that "good" condition for that age.

    Mr Scarface....tell me more (ding me or PM with details)

    So would you all say to stay away from it???

  10. Hey gang...

    I need somone to give fairly accurate valuation price on a car URGENTLY. Ideally if you got one those books or registered with valuation company.

    Obviously done the usual online but unbelievably prices varys from one to another. Some won't give "free" valuation as don't go pre 1997.

    The Car is VW Polo, 1.4L, 1996 N plate, 36K, no service history. Written off in accident (possible CAT C,D) but since been repaired. Only front bumper replaced but the car in immaculate inside and out....

    Is it worth £1300???

    Quick response will really be appreciated :winky: :)
