the insurance company paid out to replace the stolen cars, and my dad placed an order for the new M3 last weekend (dark silver, red leather) so that should be with us shortly.

Might be some OK deals to be had on the D200 when the D300 drops (paid just under a grand for mine with the 18-200 VR lens and the battery grip in pretty much new condition, really pleased with it).

you've got the 18-200? great isnt it. was that from ebay? let me know if you see any more deals on a 200 in that case Eye-wink

Nowhere to take a decent picture with the good camera in my flat, too much stuff everywhere, so they're all taken with the N95.
One of these days I'll actually make the effort and take a decent WAYWT.

Its actually Canon whos offering the cashback, send the the receipt showing a date of purchase thats before the end of their promotion period and you get your cashback. Jessops 400D are about £450 so even after cashback its still £400.

Cool best - hadnt seen the new m3 yet, looks good.

and ditto Homers question - what with the new revelation that trackers are pointless id like to hear at least that you get decent money back.

yeah we got a good price for both cars, the insurance company were surpisingly generous and paid alot more than we were expecting. obviously it wasn't what we paid for them when they were new but what was offered was very good. Altougth there was alot of agro involved we effectivly are getting free upgrades on both cars. Possibly getting the R8 or a secondhand gallardo to replace the porsche which is very cool (no topper)

Best, you drop at least £60 a week on trainers, you cant say u live on £60/week when you are looking at £300 coats…let alone having a Gallardo….although its your parents.

No beef, live it up, but dont say £60/week son, we all know its lies, like Homer saying he doesnt like Dior or Maccys, or Noble saying he doesnt care about shoe packaging.

I don't think much of Arsenal's third choice kit, it makes Thomas Rosicky's head look fucking massive.
