  1. That is stunning John... "proper job" as you might say
  2. Got any pictures John, I'm planning a garden room when I get the time
  3. I saw something similar a long time ago, I don't know whether it's the same, but the one I saw was a pit mill. Where the bottom wheel was in a pit underneath ??
  4. The one I did the trip with was a 1998 auto, I was astounded how it performed and it had done close on a 1/2 a million miles when I chucked it in for a new one. The most expensive part it had on was an alternator in that time, awesome vehicles I've just got rid of my latest which had only done 45K, once the recession is over and I get my mortgage down a bit I may plump for a brand spanker
  5. Got rid of these two last year with only 3500 miles on the clock on the 1300, with the hope of getting another spanking new one when the ressession is over.
  6. Might be a tad controversial here and get some peoples backs up but... If people didn't expect too much, they would pay so much tax They expect the roads to be salted, even the little culdesacs They expect the pavements to be salted or they sue They sue if a paving flag sits up more than a few millimeters My local NHS paid out £5m in compensation in the last year to something like 90 cases with another 100 and odd case still outstanding People moan and whinge to local councils like there's no tomorrow. I bet a huge chunk of the councils budget goes on satisfying the whingers. Another huge chunk of their budget will go on backside covering to prevent claims. A huge chunk of the governments budget goes on spongers who would rather claim benefit because they are "better off on benefit" and would have to take a drop in income to be employed. How arrogant and selfish is that !! I reckon 50% of the uk population either want a kick up the backside or taking to the vets and putting down, that way it would relieve the burden on the rest of us
  7. How old is it Steve ? I got to Gravesend and back from huddersfield on a tankfull in my landcruiser, towing a bike trailer empty down there and with a small motorbike back up, so there was a little bit of drag. I brimmed the tank as much as it would take and it was on fumes when I got back
  8. I think people use it too liberally, they dont realise how valuable it is until its too late. Look at Ireland and the water shortage. With something as abundant as water, look what happens when it isn't readily available. I think people need to sit back and have a reality check, do I really need to run the kids to all those different activities every night after dropping off and picking up from school every day. I wouldn't be bothered if it hit £2 a litre to be honest
  9. My Landrover does less than 4K miles a year, very cheap to run IMO My Landcruiser Amazon has been swapped for a mini......sorted
  10. That is so sad My dad will travel miles to save a penny a litre. He is not short of a bob or two either It's much easier to just not use the car unless absolutely neccessary, he goes to the shops nearly every day instead of once a week. Perhaps people will watch their fuel usage now.
  11. I dont care either
  12. One of the "plus's" of being a bloke
  13. My dad was moaning about the vat rise today. To be honest I'm not bothered, it only £25 extra on a purchase of a grand and if your spending that you can barter a bit if your bothered about it. I also think everyone should be vat registered
  14. It should have had an antifreeze / anti rust additive in the system. There's all sorts you can stick in nowadays. So even if you lose pressure or have a power cut your covered. I can imagine yours was tied together with bailing band and wrapped in blankets to keep it warm
  15. I forgot I used to have one of those too, I think it was a puch. All I can remember is it had pedals and no way on earth would it go uphill without having to pedal like a madman. These modern scooter boys dont know they're born
  16. I've been catastrophey free for at least two weeks now Things are looking up. When you get the new boiler fitted Rupe, ask the engineer to install a frost thermostat in the coldest part of the house, you will avoid any future problems A lot of modern boilers have them built in.
  17. I took the pedals off and wanged them
  18. My list of bikes Yamaha FS1E Suzuki GT250 Honda CBX750 Honda XR650 Honda CB600 Hornet Honda Blackbird CBR1100xx Honda CB1300SA5
  19. I would have it down as a pressure relief valve back to tank return ?
  20. £50 a cube, is that cheap ? I take it it is measured by solid volume
  21. I'm broad Yorkshire, but I can still write in legible English. See...I can even spell my name in my avtar
  22. ....and here is mick ready to sort out an intruder
  23. I was just testing your reflex, besides....you were half asleep anyway... needed you to pay attention
  24. Baahh Humbug I'll just sit and read my new bound copy of BS3998 while xmas passes over
