So going by that logic, you could theoretically lease a more popular, expensive car that holds its value, for less money than you could a cheaper model that would depreciate faster.

Yes. I just started a PCP contract on a car and it worked out only £2 more expensive a month to get the 2.0tdi rather than the 1.6tdi because the residual was going to be more. It also made more sense getting a more expensive special edition rather than adding options as the residual value doesn’t take these into consideration.

With leasing or PCP (Personal Contract Purchase rather than angel dust….i think) you pay for the car on a lesser amount than you would with HP as you are effectively paying off the depreciation plus some interest. This takes into consideration a mileage allowance.

Your repayment can include a set amount upfront e.g. 3+36 or it can be without a deposit. At the end of your payment plan you then have 3 options. Pay the final installment which is the residual value of the car, hand the car back or trade the car in on another finance agreement.

If you trade in it doesn’t have to be with same dealer as they will give you a trade in value of your car which will hopefully cover your final payment. If you trade in with the same dealer they are likely to wave any excess mileage penalty.

Its a good hassle free way of buying (well leasing really) a car but doesn’t make sense if you are putting a large deposit down.

Yip mine too….instrument is an amazing DVD. Just need them to come off their hiatus and do a new album – which apparently is due in November.

If you YouTube the song “Waiting Room” – it was the song that originally sparked my interest in them. Asides from that try listening to “Repeater”, “Suggestion”, “Shut the Door” and of their newer stuff I really like “Break”. On the quieter side of things “Long Division” is a truly amazing song.

If you are planning a listen to AttheDrive-In and you haven’t already have a listen to Fugazi. They were a big influence on ATDI and everything they have done is…well….awesome. Also amazing live.

I put a 45mm stem on my T129 (large) and am really happy with the result.

Another with Angelcare including pad sensor. Has been faultless despite being dropped several times. A few false alarms with the sensor when she crawls to the very bottom of the bed, but despite this would recommend.

Abba are awesome – family favourite alongside Johnny Cash when I was a kid.

My guilty pleasure is the TV show Deadliest Catch….suppose it could be worse. Could be XDancingStrictlyFactorJungleTalent.

I think there is a vast difference in quality between big brand jeans such as Replay, Diesel etc and lesser known brands who think more about the jeans than the marketing campaigns such as Howies, Nudie etc.

They are all roughly around the same price (ish) but in my experience there is a big difference in the end product.

If looking in TK de la maximum a good jean brand that is usually heavily reduced is Scotch & Soda. They are usually last seasons but who really cares as they are well made. Also not tapered so you don’t feel like you have soiled yourself.

Check out Davagh forest, should definitely be on the list with Castlewellan & Rostrevor.

I would definitely recommend Nudie jeans. Although they are expensive I always manage to pick some up in the sales for £40 or £50 and they wear so well and last so long that if I had to I would pay full price for them.

I am loving the syro track….mmm jazzy. bits of it make me think he had squarepusher over for a quick bass solo.

Another black lab owner here and we couldn’t have a more gentle dog. It is brilliant around our young baby. We live near the beach so it does get the exercise it needs. She will do anything to get the ball….which causes problems when it sinks and she treads water for fifteen minutes looking for it. She also managed to bring ashore a dead conger eel….which my wife thought was a very large snake 8O

Am sure there are exceptions but generally I think labs make brilliant pets.

I have ordered from in the past as well and would recommend.
