No you wouldn't. We all know you have a sadistic streak! ;)

:lol: Dammit man, for someone who hasn't met me yet you have a remarkable awareness of what makes me tick. :oops:

Hmm, you're not by any chance "The Masked Rider" on a certain "other" forum are you? :P ;)

FYI the green Diahatsu Sirion parked near the entrance is my daily hack - was a free car that does 50mpg before you all start berating me... Good Autoshite car though, has one of their stickers on it and everything.

Daihatsu Sirion ? Where ? ......I dont see one, I see something else.Hard to make out really.This one?

Rich, does your computer ever work properly? If you are still running Windows XP may I suggest you install firefox, chrome, opera or any browser other than IE7 and have another go.

It's more likely France that doesn't work properly, even I couldn't blame Windoze for this. :shock: ;)

IE's fair game though......

The slow download is possibly a poorly PC but more likely to be your internet connection. if you visit www.speedtest.net you can check it and see.

I think we might be needing to look at the other map chaps, the one of the publishing house, if you follow street view to the car park there is definately a small green car that might, just might... be the offending motor vehicle.

I couldn't look too long for fear of damaging my already deteriorating eyesight ;)

that coming from a fellow who collects any old sh**e is probably quite hypocritical :oops:
