  1. Happy Birthday Hicks!

  2. Happy Birthday Hicks!

  3. Happy Anniversary Hicks!

  4. In addition. Whereas before the 2IC of a section was a senior SAC its now a L/cpl as with the army and marines. Its a good move in my eyes.
  5. you did. The rank was brought in last year as our lads were missing out on tri service jobs open to lance jacks but not SACs. You did indeed, you're the 1st person to spot me. at last. Yeah i gave you a little nod. I was looking for stickers but didnt see any.
  6. Thats all well and good, but i have little control over future postings and if end up somewhere where LPG is a ball ache to get then it becomes a hassle. Atm im about as close to home as ill get for the next couple of years. just out of interest how much space does the lpg tank take up as i regularly car holiday levels of luggage around?
  7. That £10 a tank translates to nearly fifty a month though. the thick end of £600 per year! plus theres nothing worse than having cake and not being allowed to eat it so to speak. Having Celica-y goodness on hand and not enjoying it is tantamount to abuse of the car.
  8. Yeah thats part of it as well man. The final nail in the coffin was the missus suggesting a trip to Wales. Even 2 years ago when fuel wasnt exactly cheap I'd have have been "Wales! Hell yeah! bring on the twisty road glory!" Now my first thought was "I hope she drives (in her 1.2 Fiat 500) cos its gonna cost me a bloody fortune." Thats not how it should be, i LOVE driving and i never go out for a drive simply for the pleasure of it as i used to in my Yaris and my Gen 6 SR and the first year of my T Sport. To rub salt into the wounds ive gotta go grab a new tyre cos i suffered irreparable damage to one on saturday. No idea how. £45 down the drain. I have sworn i will own a celica again. who knows buy the time i can afford to do it maybe a gen 8 will be on the cards lol. I love the Gen 7 GT though so maybe a nice low mileage one for the weekends.
  9. Well after 2 1/2 years of glorious ownership my beloved T Sport is going. I just cant justify spending £250 a month on fuel. In its place will be a Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.9 TDI. only 0.4 secs slower 0-60 and 248lbs of torque at 1950rpm with 160 bhp so not ALL bad. plus 60mpg on the motorway... i.e. 51mpg in reality according to most reports...which is where i do most my miles but still some fun left for the odd twisty road. I REALLY love my Celica and have vowed that once life settles down again in the next 2 years I will buy a gen 7 GT. I'm probably gonna have to be taken at gunpoint when the switch over is made to the Seat. I really dont want to sell my baby but need must etc... I shall be sticking around the club cos its a cracker. A sad end i feel to 5 years of celica ownership. (God damn thieving b*****d petrol prices) Hicks
  10. Happy Anniversary Hicks!

  11. i could wear a dress if you'd like.... not sure that would really count though
  12. several stages of the man im on the far left holdin the jackson KVX 10 guitar Sirius (my former SR) and Ziva my T sport
  13. i went past a suitable window at about 5mph. it still blurred horribly, although thats irrelevant as i cant find the lead for my camera at the moment.
  14. been there tried that and she's having none of it..... literally lol
