Sorry Mr G
But as you say better safe than sorry
No need to apologise matey, it prompted a good discussion and I'm happier now the steel ones are back on the car
We are here to help and as you can see no one wants to see anyone buy a "pup" so ask us anything you like when you look at the next one. Good luck with your search
Finally some decent music in this thread, I actually met Black Francis in the toilet of the Dublin Castle Pub
Why am I not surprised!!? Amen to that but real Rhythm and Blues, now that's a different story
Thanks for that Chris, I accept fully what you are saying but I'm about to do 2k+ miles to the south of France and back, I have the steel ones in the workshop and as there seems to be a plethora of 'fake' D1 spec's about and i can't be sure mine aren't genuine then it's a case of better safe than sorry.
We all managed years ago when there were NO mobile phones, yes kids got upset but as soon as they came to terms with the fact that they couldn't talk to their parents until they got home we just got on with it so from that point of view I do tend to agree that phones should have been a no no from the outset.
Having now read these, I think there are too many doubts in my mind for them to stay on the car, steel ones going back on in the morning:-
