That's cool. I was getting worried for a moment. Yeah, some of the Cadillacs look identical, and some have lights all the way across the back. They all seem to be a beige/gold color?

I see from your pics that you have some really nice looking sport seats. Are those part of the MV6 spec? My seats are pristine except the heaters don't work, so not worth changing but man those sport seats look nice!

On that subject why do driver's seats never go as low as the passenger's seat? Is it some universal law?

Retail MV6 (as opposed to ex Police MV6) have sports seats. Leather was an option on MV6. Sports pack for Elites also has the same seats...

Are your seats leather? Common for the heaters to fail, and needs a specilaist to repair (seat has to be unstitched)

As to heights, I'd never noticed Embarrassed

Rear heaters work but not the fronts. Having the upholstery off seats often isn't as expensive as you might think, but maybe still not worthwhile - at least until it gets colder. A big ol' hello back to all you guys saying hi! Theo

Ha, yes!

Comes with membership eh? "Welcome to the club. That will be 3 quid, and here's your DVD. Study it well for your initiation test, which may or may not involve sheep, but will certainly involve lubricant, strange metal implements, chanting, drinking, unnatural positions, scrapes, bruises, a sore back, and a very annoyed girlfriend."

Grin

Theo

p.s. I will figure out paypal and pm you my address.

Sep 2006 at 13:54 I don't know if anyone else here appreciates my humour, but I haven't laughed that hard in a long time! Maybe we should make that into a disclaimer for the DVD? Still laughing, maturity is an illusion! Theo

Hmmm, maybe the Internet has 'matured' a lot since the last time I used forums. At least it's not just me! I can't believe that people aren't guessing. I have left so many hints! No, I'm not Irish, one of the Irish members here has a little animation of our great leader Huh

Theo

Ah yes, somebody else from one of our former penal colonies Wink

The way things are these days I'm surprised people don't think we're a former colony for the mentally handicapped! At least I laughed about the cambelt initiation! Tough crowd.

Sorry, I know that I keep saying that I'll pm you my address. I put that in to ward off all the people that keep telling me that I HAVE to have the DVD Wink

You didn't like that bit about the initiation? That was just for you but I liked it so much I had to share!

Sep 2006 at 17:28 Unfortunately I don't have the facilities to host a cambelt party. Looks like I'm doing mine on Saturday. If someone does host a cambelt party later I should be able to help out. Know any other members in the area?
