i loove ur sig pic btw
It's very creative n artistic
heheh well thanks... here's the method
1. take random pic of car with passenger seat removed and dumped at closest spot after turning 180, not quite managing to stand far enough back (against wall of house!) to fit either the whole seat or the right of the car in
2. shrink it to (a little over ;)) the stated max sig pic width then crop down to similar height
3. wipe the numberplate and add text
4. um..... save it to disk?

:D the most "arty" things sometimes just present themselves through nature happening...

nothing wrong with cadbury purple (or imperial/royal purple to give it the right name ;)), its quite lurvely. particularly in metallic. must be something in it that strikes bells in the human mind.
dont know why you'd want to change the turkish delight pink for that though... its a nice unique shade in itself.

Tahrey1043, hehe it's such an ace pic, i shud do something like that, i'll av to fink of sumthin crazy... :D

The colour isn't turkish delight pink, but i'll call it that cos it sounds so much more girlier and prettier than boring red, hehe :P

I want purple with lots and lots and lots of glitter on it, i want a gorgeous glamerous car, i dunno if u guys watch "pimp my ride" on mtv, but west coast customs do up old banger cars, like totaly make them over, n they had this girl, called Nile in the shop, with an old cadalac, n when they were done with it it was sooo nice. :D

They gave it a custom colour, now that was turkish delight pink, soo pretty, and just so many cool features inside, they put a waterfall in between the seats in the back, like an armrest, it was so creative.

That was such a girls car, n its what i hope my car will be like. :D

When you do that lot, I'm really going to have to see it, sounds superb :D My original plan for my car was to paint it all deep metallic purple and make it into a true pimpmobile.. I think you seem to have had just the same idea :D

Ohh i drove my car for the first time yesterday, i kept on stalling it :cry: , cos it's soooo much difforent to my instructors car :?

I drove all the way from Northwich to Nantwich, stalled about 10 times but still kinda got the hang of it, it was my first time in that car. hehe

My dad was in the car with me when i was driving says he would give me a B+ for my driving, which i think is pretty good 8) hehehe

I think Polos are really easy to stall anyway, well mine is anyway. You have to be so light with the clutch.

My record for stalling mine (I'm still getting used to it) was 7 in my grans driveway (where it currently lives). My second attempt at 7 point turning resulted in stalling twice. I'm getting there.

thats how i finally decided my clutch was shot - i could put it in 1st, and put the throttle down (from idle) simultaneously with popping foot sideways off clutch, usually a recipe for instant engine death....... and it would pull away smooth.. :lol:

I always found mine really easy to pull away with.. always used to have problems with other cars at first, but got straight into mine and pulled away no problems.. it was changing into anything other than first that threw me though.. on the drive home with it I just got it in 4th and kept it there the whole way back :D

Yeah my biggest problem is pulling away :?
I have to give it loads n loads of revs, n if i do it wrong it either jolts n i get away with it or it stalls :?
And changing gears, it's quite difficult to change gears cos it's quite an old gearbox, i find i have to fight with it, lol :x

I am gettin a bit stressed with it, but im gonna keep trying because it's a new car n difforent to my intsructors, it's totally opposite, his car is a renault cleo, n his is designed not to stall, lol, but I still manage it easily sometimes :? :oops:

Don't worry about stalling it, you just need to get used to driving it more. I remember picking up my blue GT and it took me a while to get used to it. Before long you will find it easy to drive (and better than a clio).
