Puppy isnt mine anymore!! Our family dog died last month and mum didnt take it too well. She kind of leeched onto Tiger and last week after having my new fences done and also spending more to get extra timber put into the ground around the fences (to stop dog from digging) mum asked me if she can keep Tiger... I said yes lol We decided to buy a kitty instead... bit easier to maintain so I think we've settled on the Burmese kitty, just waitin to move in first and then will go looking for breeders 
I don't mind cats (less work) but I'm allergic to them (seriously), so that's not an option for us.

Get a little doggy. I want a dog someday but not yet. I think for now it will make it a bit hard for me if we wanna go away and stuff. The cat would be easier to just leave behind with lots of food and water lol I think Nate is allergic to cats but he seems to not mind it if I want 1 cuz it make me happy awww lol
and Trev............ it wouldnt only be Nate with the issue, it also be mrs Enforcer hehehehe

Thats feral looking car!!
Well I honestly have NO idea what kind of practical car i'd end up with. I keep liking these silly cars .. I think if I had to buy a car right now I'm really liking the new Audi TT. Also love the 335 BMW. The wagons and hatches out atm dont catch my eye........ Id be more prone to keeping the 8 or getting something else like the TT and trying to convince mum she needs a new car and I can have her Astina hatch lol
Yea I think I'm growing up but I still cannot put aside my ridiculas car for somethin more "normal" yet ... lol

Were lucky we don't live in the US where in some places flirting is illegal...
In Little Rock, Arkansas, (home of the famous person saying "I never had sexual relations with that woman!)...an antiquated law is still on the books where engaging in playful banter may result in a 30 day jail term.
In New York City, another outdated law mandates that men may be fined $25 for gazing lasciviously at a female; a second conviction stipulates the offender wear a pair of blinders whenever he goes out for a walk.
In San Antonio, Texas its illegal for both sexes to flirt or respond to flirtation using the eyes and/or hands........we are in the lucky country!

lol @ those laws! You'd expect those laws to only be seen in very Conservative countries in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, etc. But then again, the U.S is both Liberal and Conservative at the same time, quite Contradictory indeed.

bah! just get a new driveway. You know when it came down to choosing a house to buy - my driveway and garage was the most important lol Houses I didnt even bother to enter once I saw the steep driveway. What's even better about my driveway is its kind of joined onto the neighbours driveway after the footpath bit, so its extra wide and I do beautiful angles when entering and reversing. It's awesome! Only think that sucks is 2 car garage - the 1 on the right I actually scrape! the corner is slightly bumpy. So I am restricted to the left hand side garage where its perfect! Call me crazy... but hey nothing nicer then a flat driveway!!

I like the new TT too Kall but having done the kid test at the motor show, the 8 is much bigger inside, etc. Haven't had a good look inside the 335i (was hoping to do that yesterday but Gibbo couldn't make it).

Well the driveways LOOK nice, but they are not very practical. Architechs and whenever else decides to design their own home I think a lot of the times they go for what looks nice but forget about what is practical and the smaller things that can make the home just more cosy and easier to live in. I love my new little house. Easy driveway, nice garage, when I come home I put it in and go straight into the house as oppose to my parents house u have to get out of the car open the stupid gates and put the dog away agh its so damn annoying! Ive always said I like the KISS principle... hehe
----------------------
Dave, the TT is HOT lol But I cant see myself trading the 8 anytime soon. I like the Liberty wagon if I needed a bigger car.. lol

No I shall not, I kept it on topic by replying to something you said. You have to remember that not everyone on here is technical minded and by using shorthand in threads and then telling the person go research defeats the purpose of someone coming on here to learn. My problem may help others with the hymee exhaust also if they do similar driving to me. It is related. If you chose to not reply to me that is your choice but I shall not revert to going and researching something that could have been simply answered. If I had asked something that has been discussed a billion times fair enough but I dont recall ever seeing that MAF word in the time I've been here!

No, I don't think so. I see no problem with delving from the topic of discussion. You're not a moderator, that's not how this site is ... if you want to run your own forum like that, do it by all means.
Go home Gomer ... come back if you buy an RX8!

This is a thread on Hymee exhausts. MissyK's fuel consumption issue has nothing to do with Hymee exhausts.
A search will reveal 100's of threads on fuel consumption. She's got over 5000 posts FFS, she should know how to search.

I hate my driveway. 
It's got an annoying hump, right before it dips to meet the roadway, which is excessively convex btw, so even the Mazda 6 scrapes its little rubber strip at the front if you're not careful.
When you add that the cretins who owned the place before us decided to have a Backyard Blitz moment and filled the gaps between the concrete strips with frigging river pebbles (which are always getting dislodged), you have something that disgusts me every day, even just walking on it!
'Er indoors craps on about redoing bathrooms. I just want to get a landscaper in to redo the front drive!!
