Work got a speeding ticket for one of our vw vans near to the Dartford crossing despite our vans never leaving the north east our boss asked for a photo,it turned out to be a camper van pulling a trailer the reg number was similar but obviously different they can't have looked that closely we never heard anything back

The only thing I don't like about those rails is why don't they do one that goes up to 32mm the same as most socket sets,great idea apart from that

It's alright buying cheap steel/coal etc from every other country but wait till they've closed every British industry down and the prices shoot right up then we'll be screwed

They were talking about this on radio 2 a couple of weeks ago so it's got all trendy and put the price up. Cheapest I've seen them is about 15 quid on AbeBooks - Used Books, Rare Books, New Books & Textbooks

If you think you've got too many tools try having a look at The Garage Journal and have a look at some of our American friends garages and tool collections

I passed one of the Dodge 50 series that these were based on in Washington today,an old recovery truck sat rotting away.can't remember the last time I saw one

It's on 4 OD George Clarke's Amazing Spaces - 4oD - Channel 4

Not sure if this has already been posted this vid's worth a look [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRQyEBY5YjQ]WHY WE RIDE: mid-life crisis philosophy & motorbike riding - YouTube[/ame]

You'll need to take a test if you passed after 1997,if you're paying for a C1 test I'd go for class C (old HGV 2) it'll cost about the same and give's you more options.Check with the DVLA about your Diabetes the rules were changed a while back I know a bloke on Insulin who's got his Class 1 Licence last year but I think it depends on your personal history

I've got a mix of stuff Snap on spanner set some Sealey stuff,old Britool,Gedore but for cheaper everyday use I like the Draper Expert (6 point) sockets. I've given them a fair bit of stick and only had to replace one so far,that's cos my brother lost his locking wheel nut key and I hammered the socket on so hard I couldn't get it back off,they're not that pricey to replace if you do lose lose/break one

I had my Escort van insured with Autonet I found them to be spot on to deal with and they were cheap enough

I worked in the construction industry years ago and the last year or so all the safety meetings would consist of the usual wear your p.p.e talks and then Sun damage to your skin lectures.If we get a sunny spell now our boss gives a bottle of sun tan lotion no one wears it but it covers his behind if anything goes wrong

Yeah go straight to class C then you're good for everything up to 8 wheelers. If you do don't worry about missing gears on the first day you'll be used to by the end of the second day

The other way round I think Crafters are Sprinters with a VW engine
