I have recently discovered that if you make a huge fuss about something at the pumps at sainsburys and stay firm but polite the staff have the ability to suddenly give you 12p off a litre! i was a bit peeved after waiting ages the other day and told them how ridiculous it was to have one member of staff on the till when they have 18 pumps to serve! she gave me a huge discount ....result 12p off every litre! i will be finding things to kick off about quite frequently and will be visiting random sainsburys to kick off in!________________________________________ Formally team BLAZE now Team bianca recuperating from multiple organ failure nicely! items replaced so far, clutch, cambelt etc, radiator, exhaust, most of front running gear, wish bones, drop links, ball joints, track rod ends, bearings, brakes, calipers, discs, and pads, brake lines, front springs, brake balance compensator thingy, hand brake cable, throttle cable (twice), coil pack, door handle, windscreen, wipers, head lamps several sensors and bulbs  .rear beam new throttle cable, new battery. .......... yeah man, team money pit! but shes still rollin! |

It was 129.9 here last week, tesco just put their price up 1p as they are offering 5p off vouchers (thanks a bunch!), most garages I saw were 136.9 So come on, who's got the worst prices? Londoners? £1.50 for petrol £1.52 for diesel in shetland  |

small diesels are almost making a premium at the moment as everyone trys to off load a gas guzzler. i was sort of put out initialy when i sold my scoob and saw the guy who bought it put 3k on the price , do nothing to it and put it up for sale......5 months later i think i am glad i got out when i did and his price has dropped 2.5k and now there are 12 cheaper ones for sale on ebay, and all the bits i took off it make the difference between a good scoob and just another scoob for sale for too much money.it is sad to see these supercars going for pittence, but the middle/ lower classes are being forced out of their bm's and into these flid cars as we are the biggest users of petrol/oil which the good ol governement would have you believe is just a blip on the ricotor scale of what oil is used for  ________________________________________ puglessPhase 1 GTI 6 1996-1997 Subaru Impreza GB270 2007-2008 rare spiderman comics same day international courier |

Does 0-60 in 3.5, 140mph and 50mpg when plodding along. I can get home from work in 16 minutes instead of 25 in the car.  |
