    nice, but not as nice as the car that i want

    an Audi TT Coupé or Roadster not quite sure which one i want yet

    http://www.audi.co.uk/newcars/tt/

    currently the page doesn't work , but if you try www.audi.co.uk and go via flash i am sure it works then, but trust me it is a nice car

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    I wouldn't want one of those.. How can you have sex in the backseat if there isn't one?

    *Ahem* In all seriousnes, I wouldn't want one of those... The first thing police look for to issue a speeding ticket to is a small red sports car... And I just don't like sports cars very much...

    man! the chicks would be falling over themselves to get in the half-back seat with you!!

    But if you ain't speedin' they can't bust ya...something like that is just for show when cruising around town anyway.

    Ferrari's aren't "sports cars", they're "racing cars"

    I want a mini, have always wanted a mini, and probably will still want a mini when I'm a lot older and already have a mini

    In Manchester, the police have more important things to worry about.

    Hi

    If money was no object then I would have more than 1 car:

    I would have a McClarion F1 (can't be busted on GATSO's)
    Westfield HypaBussa (Tiny car big bike motor)
    Jag F Type (when it comes out)
    The new Bugatti (1000bhp w12 top speed 250mph+, also when it comes out)
    Old skool mini with 4wheel drive conversion and a mid mounted Cosworth engine, (p**s of the Ferrari owners!)
    And a nice sencible family motor the Rover Extreme (500bhp 200mph) nice!

    g

    Alternatively if a mini is a bit over protective and heavyweight one of these serious bits of kit



    Mark - I don't think many pimps or drug-dealers have these - althought it might be useful to them as I've found that if you own an old British sports car the police never stop you (except to say "I've got one like that - have you sorted the cooling in traffic/earth leakage faults etc . . .")

    Did someone mention Minis?

    If you look inside the Cooper variants, there is a sort of plague in them (certainly on the new mini anyway), which contains the address of where they are made into Coppers...

    ...which is the very road I live on.

    The first person to name that address wins a bag of fun dust...

    If you don't happen to be near a mini, check out www.johncooper.co.uk instead

    That level crossing you can see in the background is the very one I cross almost daily (and get stuck at a lot more)

    Who you referring to? British plates?

    They take this format

    A123 BCD. The "A" denotes the age of the vehicle. For example, G=1990/1991 H=1991/1992 J=1992/1993 and so on

    The rest is a random sequence of 3 (sometimes 2) numbers, and 3 letters

    You can also buy "personalised" plates, which can be things like your initials. For example, mine is W2 CJK (W is the age=2000, 2 is just 2, and CJK is my initials). That cost £700 by the way

    You could have things like CHR 1S, or PEN 1S ( ) or A1 DAN or whatever

    They're changing the system anyways, soon it will be regional based.

    Hasn't John Cooper just died? I seem to remember him falling out with BMW and being quoted as saying something like "New Mini's with the Cooper badge - over my dead body - and then he kicked the bucket".
