Long time no speak! Just thought I would say Hi. HI!

Hmmm well TomTom One Europe with optional TMC seems the best thing I can see.... but then this happened: http://www.tomtom.com/news/category.php?ID...D=511&Lid=1 So maybe I should wait for the new model to come out....

I have never owned Sat Nav but should really get it, although I do have fun navigating and getting lost. As someone very wise once said to me (well I assume they were wise although thinking about it they may have just been stupid)..... why go straight on when you can turn right and probably end up at the same place but have more fun on the way? Anyway thats all pointless. Whats good in the world of Sat Nav? I want something I can buy, thats new, should prob cover Europe and doesnt need to make the tea. Speed cam locations and traffic info would be great too. cheers!

Gordon Ramsay's Shepherd's pie served with pan-roasted carrots recipe (from http://www.channel4.com/food/recipes/chefs...ecipe_p_1.html) Serves 4 Ingredients Shepherd's pie 2 tbsp olive oil Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 500g minced lean lamb 1 large onion, finely grated 1 large carrot, finely grated 2 cloves garlic 1-2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 1 tbsp tomato puree Handful of thyme sprigs, leaves picked 1 sprig of rosemary, needles chopped 250ml red wine 300ml chicken stock 1kg Desiree potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks 50g butter 2 egg yolks Parmesan, for grating Olive oil Sea salt & freshly ground black pepper Pan-roasted carrots 2 sprigs of rosemary Small handful of thyme sprigs 1 garlic clove 500g medium sized carrots, peeled and trimmed 2 tbsp olive oil Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Few knobs of butter Method: How to make shepherd's pie 1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C/gas 4 2. Heat the oil in a large pan until hot. Season the mince and fry in the oil over moderate to high heat for 2-3 minutes. Stir the onions and carrot into the mince then grate the garlic in as well. Add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato puree and herbs and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour in the red wine and reduce until almost completely evaporated. Add the chicken stock, bring to the boil and simmer until the sauce has thickened 3. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until tender. Drain then return to the hot pan over low heat to dry out briefly. Pass them through a potato ricer then beat in the egg yolks, followed by about 2 tbsp grated Parmesan. Check for seasoning 4. Spoon the mince into the bottom of a large ovenproof dish. Using a large spoon, layer the mashed potato generously on top of the mince, starting from the outside and working your way into the middle. Grate some extra Parmesan over and season. Fluff up the mash potato with a fork to make rough peaks. Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes, until bubbling and golden brown 5. For the carrots bring a pan of water to the boil with the rosemary, thyme and garlic. Boil the carrots in the water for 3 minutes to soften slightly, then drain and pat dry. Heat the oil in a large non-stick sauté pan then add the carrots and some seasoning. Brown the carrots all over until just tender, adding the butter towards the end of cooking

hello there I am doing this www.calais2casablanca.com has anyone done any banger rally's before?!

Things get better.... sorry to hear its all a bit crap though

I thought VW actually made a batch of early 5 speeds with an uprated 'box that actually made its 0-60 around 5.6 secs, just what I heard though.

thanks for the replys style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Hi Fran, Hi Nicki style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> I am alive! Ah well I havent got 25k as such, just car allowance for work and bit of money saved up. Decided its no fun being sensible - the diesel is driving me nuts! Si: I want to do a jonathan palmer day!!!!! Hmmm anyone link me to a nice skyline?

alright Si how is life ?

and sorry but that A3 is too dull, even in that colour!

haha at the odd 350Z and the Mustang... interesting but not my cup of tea. Its an every-other-day car and I will need to do no miles some weeks, lots of miles other weeks. It MUST have air con but thats about it - an Exige is technically fine style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> RS4 and M5 nice, but depriciation is important - so as low as possible would be good.

So.... hello everyone. I haven't posted on here for ages, but nothings changed. I still have my Golf TDi and it must be said its a lovely motor after all. But its a bit boring. So what would you buy, I can spend up to £25k, don't want it new and it must be fun and rare enough to look nice. Any help gratefully appreciated style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I love Amsterdam...... its just odd everywhere u go oh hello everyone

Sky + anyone?
