Default Hi from the UK

Hi chaps,

Great forum here.
This week I bought a 2004 (83k) coupe with the auto box, in sapphire silver (or is it sapphire silver blue?) - more on that later!!

I've liked these for some time, and they are not a common sight on UK roads.
I look forward to picking your brains and chatting about them - loving it to drive so far.

As an aside, I sometimes wish I was born in the US. Always liked you guys and how patriotic you are. Also, I'm a shooter, love the outdoor life and an avid knife user / collector - you know, all the things our UK nanny state loves to restrict or ban!!

Cheers

Sid

Hi Sid, welcome to the forum, lots of info here.
I hope you make it to the States sometime, that would be exciting for you but you have to watch your back as you are 18 times more likely to be killed by a gun there than in that boring Nanny state you call 'ome. Stick with the terror attacks, you are much much safer.

Cheers buddy,

I'd love to make it over there at some point.
Always wanted to see some of the southern states. In saying that, I have several friends who've been to NY and loved it.

Hey 180, exactly where are you getting your figures from, web site???? And you're more likely to die from a terrorist attack in that Nanny states, than either the USA or Canada.

Welcome aboard Sid. Pay np attention to Mr. negativity (180), except when he tells you how to fix your xfire. We over look his negativity for his car knowledge. Just kidding he has a great sense of dry humor. Enjoy your car. We all enjoy ours.

That is true for now, but you cannot take one cause of death and quote it separately ignoring all others. We know who started all this mayhem.
