Some of the best cars I have ever seen were at No Rice. On a retail park with Halfords, DFS, Wicks, B&Q and Halfords in the background. I quite like seeing pictures taken in retail parks, it lets me feel like I am "there" because it is an enviroment I am used to being in when looking at cars.

Took my niece out for lunch today. First time I have seen her for a few weeks, she was so excited it was unreal. I love kids, they are so care free.

How f**king badly has he kerbed them?! I knew selling him that car was a mistake. I cannot believe that fanny is running around on my wheels. f**king dick, I would have refused to give them to him.

Dan. http://www.thedatereport.com/dating/sex/1475-the-9-rules-of-booty-call-etiquette/ Sounds like you need to lay down the law with her and get her involved in some FWB action.

Confusing wanting a f**k, and love. That's a predicament that has gotten me into trouble lots and lots of times. Contrary to that, after wanting her for the best part of 6 years, and feeling I have made mistakes with LOTS of women. As of last night my current head ache is unofficially officially mine. Been staying round at hers a fair bit, just chatting and generally doing all the shit that you do when you hang about with women you like. Went out last night with her and got smashed, rolled in at 4. Woke up about 11, and I walked down to the butchers and got us some amazing bacon and eggs and some nice bread, knocked her up a shit hot scrambled eggs and bacon on toast for breakfast, bumbled around the house with her and helped her mark her school kids home work. Went for a walk with her to get our hang overs clear and on the way back she started talking. Saying she felt so comfortable with me, and that I have made her want to be with me. Basically saying that going out to town with me and spending all night feeling comfortable about being able to talk to people and have a good time was the final test she had for me. Shits good, and althought I had to wait 6 years I am glad I did. Just got to roll on as I am, no pressure and easy going. Yeah, I'm happy.

Super pro.

Awful compared to what though. Won't don't you like about more power more of the time?

Disagree. What it does do, is make them faster. Everywhere. People go on about turbo lag on bigger turbos, as though an NA engine would be faster below 4K or something.

Boost fixes all.

You will be amazed how quiet they can be, Nicks car is SO quiet. Have you seen it since 064?

They ran off down the road with the bloke. It was literally like something out of Grand Theft Auto. You know when you get really bored playing GTA and you try to drive like a "normal" person but the controls are so on/off and designed around driving fast that you crash into EVERYTHING no matter how hard you try. I imagine that's how this guy last night felt.

Haha, you said pervert.

Yep. Positive things happen to positive people.

I got drunk last night and Facebook stalked some girl I wet to school with, just straight off the bat sent her "I'd f**king ruin you." She replied with "I assume you are still terrified of my mum. So I doubt that." Bravo. I do stupid shit when I get drunk, not as stupid as the man who knocked on my door at 2 this morning. Pissed up with two prostitutes he had stolen an Audi A8, crashed it many times and driven it to my house on two wheels. He wanted to use my car to get home. Sounds like he had a good night.

I love snake bite. Used to drink it all the time.

No, that's nothing like what I said. I CAN and HAVE done it before, I have done pretty much everything before. However, I have many people around me who can do it better (IE quicker, more efficiently and safer) so why would I do it myself. The theory of how it is done, and the actual doing it are great. But I am messy, I leave tools every where, and I refuse to work on axle stands with hand tools. That's my problem. Give me a ramp and my dad's tool box and I can and will do as much as the rest of them. I also hate getting dirty, and fiddling around in stupid tight places trying to put nuts and bolts in. Which is why I am very happy my dad has a ramp in his new unit now so we don't have to borrow his neighbors.

I have done it before though, and I have also watched countless people struggle because they are doing it wrong. I can do it right, as I am sure George can. And in the grand ol' scheme of things, a cambelt on a 1.8t is a fairly easy thing to do. Not only because of the mechanical simplicity of the job, but as in my case because it is SO well documented that any troubles you do come up with will be because you haven't followed the guide you are reading correctly.

I love how every time I comment on anything mechanical, you all jump on the lack of DIY element to my motoring. To give you a similar example of why I don't bother doing it myself...Your mum's better cook than me. So she makes me dinner. Doesn't mean I can't cook though. I tried to pull the pin on the tensioner like it was a grenade with my teeth, actually the most painful thing I have ever done. And I had to reclamp the tensioner and find the pin and put it back in.

What?! You remove the PAS res, the water res, leave the mount in place and jack the engine up?!

I've lost a stone in 21 days. No fad diets, just not eating shit and lots of exercise.

1.6+turbo+14.7PSI=3.2. It's science. (Potentially not an accurate quotation there...)

This makes me happy.

No response required. Just play it cool Dan. Playyy it cool. Who knows, not saying this is what you want now of cause however you might spend a week apart and think "you know what? I'm better than this." And decide actually, you don't want to continue this relationship. And if you do that, it's only fair on yourself and her that no contact is made. Regardless of if you or her thinks she is making a mistake, because she is on the back foot now is the golden ticket to leave her if you want without feeling guilty or regretful. However, this opportunity also allows you to use it as a tool to make your relationship stronger if you decide this is what you want. I have stayed in a horrible relationship (Rainbird will vouch for that!) with somebody who made me miserable, who controlled me and made me an utter twat. And I can honestly say I made that person feel exactly the same way. Splitting after four years, living together for that long and building a life with them was really hard. But in truth, it's the best thing I have ever done. Anyway, I'm rambling. Basically, I am sure you will be ok as long as you just sit back and accept that this is a good thing for you and will allow you to do what YOU want.

You'll be fine Dan, I promise.
