Lol, Mark did you come to the X rally in a BX? If so was it the 16v on the very end with the big back box. Don't think I met you *scratches head*.

Bosch Silver ONLY for me. Around £50 in Costco with life time warranty. The one in the valver gets taken back to costco every 3 to 5 years (dependant on use) and swapped for a new one. I'm on my 3rd. Though to be honest, i can leave a fully charged battery (disconnected) for a good 6 months and the car will start first time on the button. Perhaps not quite what you want from a battery but excellent for me!

It was all in jest, along similar lines to Caffiend's "I didn't know you were getting a GT" remark! :lol: The Ken avatar was a bit of a giveaway...

Like Mulley (and I'm sure most people on here) it doesn't matter in the slightest to me whether someone is straight, gay, or even gets excited over an obscure French hatchback!

:lol: that's good then Matt, otherwise using that criteria we'd all have issues! Yea, that avatar was very cool, but also very gay so I thought i'd change it - that was before I came out on the forum.

What about obscure French hatchbacks, plural? :roll:

..that_ and that's how it should be :-)

If I can't find my underpants in the morning I get really annoyed - does that count as cross dressing ?

I dont think it counts as cross dressing, but it does suggest you need more than one set of under garments!

I was cross-dressed at the X-rally and no-one seemed to bat an eyelid.
