Re: Z3 Owner's pets - My Dog "DICK"
That's one cool dog and aptly named but is it true what they say about dogs and their owners looking alike. Have you been to the hairdressers lately.(Could be a bit embarassing)

Re: What planet do insurance companies live on?
Yep I had one from Saga quoting my car (z3) for as little as £126 if I went back to them, unbelievable I thought and so this prompted me to try them out, thinking it was just a line to get me hooked. But lo and behold I insured my 1.9 for £124. I am always slating insurance companies but this year t...

Thanks for the comments Mark. Yes I think the way to do sales on here is to keep the price between the vendor and the purchaser and I can't see the value of putting it on here for anyone who is not interested in buying.
