      Don't get a black one, I was involved with certain elements of the paint development, and black is the wrong colour for this cold country. I can't say much more than that I'm afraid

    How is it possible that it would cost me the same to insure a T reg 911 Carera 4 as my T reg 1.5 Mazda 323?

      323 they named that wrong quite simply name it 321 and get murry walker to do the advert

      My Corsa should have been a 321 and sold by Ted Rogers

      It's now in the Andromeda galaxy, having been spirited away via a temporary wormhole controlled by Zillons from the planet Tharg

      But that common body fixing screw that you have dozens of - so do the Zillons so as soon as it passes through the wormhole they send it straight back the first sign of which is when it drops in plain sight at your feet

      If the job's going to be in Reading, presumably it's presently in Writing.

      Also, if they've asked him to run a demo at one of their shows, some people might have thought a little flexibility could be in order.
