  1. What can I say? I'm teetotal! And my mates are dicks!

    Andy Murray

    Lost first set 6-4.
  3. The statement I made was with the home games in mind. Just as well I didn't say that the ref standards were the only thing I enjoyed!

    Andy Murray

    Already a break down.
  5. They can't be much worse! One thing I enjoyed about Calderwood getting us into Europe was the vast difference between the refs we got then and the SPL ones we were used to.
  6. In/Out? Out Pre match? Hame Match? Radio/telly Post match? hame Prediction? Another 3-0 win for Killie.
  7. His contract will never run out because it's a rolling contract. Is that not right? Don't we have to serve him his notice?
  8. You'd back them no matter what, though. I agree that I thought the red was harsh but it wouldn't matter if he'd whipped a knife out of his sock and cut the guy's throat. You'd still claim it was harsh!
  9. We certainly get consistency from you.

    I tried to add him but there are hunners of them. Any way of telling which is the right one? They all have pictures of the tennis player too.
  11. I'd maybe buy it if I hadn't just read the most interesting part of the book in this thread!
  12. Jesus what a team we had. I think I'm going to greet.
  13. You're either with us or against us!
  14. Vegas is where it's at, min!
  15. Aye you're not wrong. The V-Tec give Hondas their power at high revs which is fine but not in place of a Turbo. I've always been an admirer of Swedish motors. Solid, well-built and fast enough too. That Saab looks awful, though.
  16. Don't agree with that. I wouldn;t even call that a lunge to be honest. A booking at the most in my opinion. We still got what we deserved from the game and I don't believe McArdle staying on the park would have resulted in a win.
  17. If you're not with us you're against us.
  18. May I add, as if we didn't already know, Scottish Football = Joke. And not even a funny one. More a pathetic one.
  19. But then that plays into Lennon's claim that only Celtic are being treated poorly by refs. And if they target only Celtic the death mob will be making their threats again.
  20. Timing belt slipping and snapping are two different things by the sounds of things and would therefore require different methods of repair. The fact is if my timing belt goes, I replace it and continue to drive. German cars tend to have interference belts so if they snap then you better have some money left over for the repair. Not saying it's a huge deal because anyone should be maintaining their motor and changing the belts when recommended but this is one of the points that to me shows that the Jap engineering is that bit more clever and their engines are known for their durability. Rattling? When I bought my Polo it had the loudest rattle I'd ever heard! It was a cheap and easy fix but rattles normally are. The hardest part is isolating them. It's complete nonsense to try to imply for a minute that the part in bold is prone to happening to Japanese cars in particular. All cars develop rattles and such like when they're 10-20 years old. I'd bet there are more 90's "ricers" on the roads still than 90's German cars down to be better engine quality and durability. Dated looks etc is all down to personal preference at the end of the day. Not really sure at the point you're making about the cars being assembled here? The ones for Britain and Europe may be assembled here but they're still designed at HQ in Japan and there are still massive Honda, Mazda and Mitsubishi plants in Japan. They don't get us to build their cars and ship them over there. BT have tech support in India and get the vast majority of their products manufactured abroad. The "type of drivers" argument could again be applied to pretty much any remotely desirable brand/model of performance (but affordable) car. All opinions. Car enthusiats will always enjoy pushing their cars.
  21. I can almost understand Alfas. They're a bit different but like all affordable Italian cars there's no reliability so fuck 'em. 99% of new cars look gash and have inferior performance to their older siblings. For example the new Civics are slower and uglier than the previous generation Civics. It's partly due to stricter emissions guidelines I think (hope). In the 90's Japan easily produced the world's finest and most reliable motors which is why you still see so many of them today. German/Jap? Each to their own. Jap owns German every day of the week for me. For looks, reliability and quality. Little things like my current Mazda having a non-interference engine (meaning if the cam belt snaps you won't need a new engine as it does no damage) whereas my Polo (whilst it turned out to be very reliable) had an interference engine so that if the cam belt went the engine would need to be replaced (as it would be cheaper than repairing the damage) make all the different in my opinion. Better engineering.
  22. Or for people who like cars with a soul and character.
  23. Funcy a job, Eck?
