Re: New Car

What can I add... That's proper nice... Jag have not only got the hang of making beautiful cars, but I'm betting it's well build and spec'ed up to the hilt with goodies.. I gave it a good clean today, Spudda would be proud of me, but it's also the best way to actually see how well a car is made and...

Re: Factory sticker removal

leave it in the sun, that should make the glue tacky. Peel off as much as you can by hand then use a label remover.

Re: The on-going tyre saga

I'm due some new tyres with the MOT arriving next month and my rear pretty much at the wear bar. I normally use Dunlop roadsmart 2's because I had a pretty decent 7-8k out of the last set I had but I have only managed 4500 miles out of this rear and I can't see the front lasting another rear. So I w...

Re: Factory sticker removal

An angle grinder gets stubborn stickers off pretty well and as a bonus, you have new stickers to hide the damage. winner

Re: And weird headline of the day goes to..

you wouldn't have fish swimming up those pipes to your toilet. they are pretty much dry unless you are flushing/showering/running a tap.

Maybe snakes and rats though, they could probably make it up to greet your bum. Oh maybe mini gators too.

Re: Brammo announce smart-phone, route-planning deal

The big issue with fully electric vehicles has to be range. A bike with less than a 60 mile highway range for me kills it. It's said to have around 130 city miles in it and a combined mileage of up to 80. I'd have thought reduced on windy days or hilly routes. in my opinion I don't think they are ye...

Re: someone wants to take the bike round the car park

I let a mate have a go on one of my old bikes just up and down his street, he almost got taken out by a car reversing off their drive and ended up hammering across 3 gardens trying to avoid it :D it was only an old wrecker of a bike though. my advice would be not to do it.

Re: If you could go live anywhere....

Out of all the places I have seen, none of them matter a shit to me because the people I loved weren't there. For me personally, myself and the mrs both have multiple family members in oz and others thinking about going over too. I think having people about is less of an issue for me than it is for...

Re: If you could go live anywhere....

I'd like to go to Australia. I'm in college at the moment, hoping to go to uni to retrain and get a job that will enable me more flexibility in deciding where to settle.

Re: Broadband Speed Checker

can't hurt to try a few?

I normally use http://www.speedtest.net/ or one or two at random from google to see if they all match up.
