  1. Still got trams in Barrow
  2. And try driving through a tunnel WITHOUT dropping into third!
  3. Scuba gear may be more appropriate at the moment.
  4. No wheels though! And before anyone starts I was born there.
  5. Have a contact who is involved with area so will e-mail him and post the official and working versions when he replies.
  6. Believe me, i am so ssiped off with this weather I would build my colleagues dad a garage.... but the weather isnt good enough. Will come up with a solution long term but since I got the Z I am 18 again and want everything now!. ( actually just had my 50th which makes it worse).
  7. Slightly more serious ( but not much), one thing that does start to get annoying is when you are tootling along on dual carriageways. Cars are zipping past but then stop just on your quarter to see what you are. You are then blocked in. Ah well, into 3rd again.....
  8. No mate, Lakes as in Cumbria but work down here 2 weeks on/off. Weather still looking iffy so may be Friday or Saturday or if wet then not at all. Will lt yu know.
  9. And when the weather gets better the itch gets worse. You then think some people may not see you so you fit a Nismo exhaust and pop charger. Alloys would be nice............... Dont think it will go away
  10. Cheers bud, cunning little plan coming to mind, wife has friends in Chester. Will watch with interest.
  11. Ever thought of making a tv series.......
  12. Just to save me trawling though, Take it its Pulfor on 14th July but what sort of time. I am 120 miles away so kinda depends on departure time.
  13. And all the time you have to look cool, meant it really
  14. I am sure with all the motoring programmes and media in general at their behest the government could have said "look this is a terrorist issue, get satndard plates or else". Got to be cheaper than having their cars chasing number plates, unless they just want a chance to stop people and claim expenses at £30 per shout!
  15. Not too technical but understand a little how the brains in they cars work. Worth another try, sometimes may take a bit to settle down after a wash. If he dont go this time pm one of the clever fellas. Best of luck
  16. Must learn to use this keyboard or get spellcheck. POUR the gin
  17. Careful how you pout the gin, these things go in threes!!!
  18. Know a company in Wrexham that will do it. Not too familiar with their work though. AW Services N/W 01978 810055. They reckon they powder coat just about anything. May be worth a visit.
  19. The puddles where I live a bigger and peramanent! Flash mate of mine was launching his new speedboat from a trailer on the back of his sports car in a local river. Brkes failed, backed car into river, speedboat floated off and had to be revovered by the RNLI. Car full of SALT water. Hole is so small so you cant put a diesel hose in by mistake.
  20. Never give up Nixy, youre not the first and wont be the last, maybe you are just more honest. Least it wasnt diesel!
  21. If I could find one politician in one party that had any sort of grasp on reality I would vote for him tomorrow. Problem is, anyone who wants to be a Politician isnt suitable! Emporer ( PM) Ming excepted of course!
  22. This of course will include the police? These EU politicians should all be rounded up and shot!!!!
  23. Not cameras but just as annoying. Our local "main road" has a 60 speed limit although most people havent a clue and cruise at 40-50. There have ( according to the sign) been over 750 casualties in 5 years so it is dangerous. The latest idea is to have the "slow down" signs which flash on approach. Good idea in theory but for a tourist doing 60 to get one of these flash up in front of them causes havoc. Heavy braking and having just come off a dual carriageway, total chaos. Have tested them and you have to be down to about 35 for them not to flash. Better to lower the general speed limit for the whole road.
