Wow, good luck...hope it doesn't come here to the US...lol

 

mad petrol disease...hehehe

 

Lol..nice....

 

racer, how was the stock market today....any day trading brother?

 

Lol...i need to take a break, it was ugly the other day....

 

yes it was.... just like the housing market. what goes up must come down......

I wish i was in the housing market few years back...darn, i would have retired right now....

 

lol, yeah I hear ya. We bought out beach house just before the prices when through the roof....man were we lucky.....

It amazing how the window of opertunity opens, and we just don't see it till it closes!!!! I must be blind...

 

Icky gas, OH NO! Well, If it were here in the US, I'd smell a lawsuit in the works. However, I don't know how the UK works. Here people sue because they were looked at the wrong way and it hurt their day!

 

Man I had that a few years ago in my Peugeot diesel at the time.....what a right royal pain it was too

Good luck my brit friends, and don't go to the markets to fill up!

 

Cheers bigdreams.........and just cross ur fingers u don't get it over there!
I was on the motorway when it happened to me.........total loss of power, loads of white smoke......then, nuthin. Nightmare.

JC

 

Ahh, that's a nasty feeling! (When your car turns off on you) Specially if you see smoke!

silicon?!

 

Err not good!.........
Hopefully they'll get it sorted sooner rather than later

JC

 

That sucks! Like I said, I smell a lawsuit in the works!

 

Lol.......it doesn't really work like tha so much over here yet bigdreams.........pretty much ( unless its some real bad scenario) they pay to get the car drained and refuelled back to original, covering costs of any replacement parts needed. Been there, although that was a few years ago now, and we're starting to get the sue everybody for everything culture over here now as well.

JC

 

Well, I hope the oil companies don't get screwed over cuz then they'll raise their premiums!

 

Yeah good point bigdreams05, I don't think it takes this kind of crap for them to raise the prices...what was their profit (record breaking at that) for the year? 36 billion dollars or something like that....Wonder why they had record profits for the year? I just can't figure it out!
