That wouldn't be hard, the Road Jeans I bought a few weeks back feel like wearing waterproof trousers. hard, noisy, don't breath. Utter rubbish.

I had also heard from quite a few people that Patagonia jeans were utter shite too.

Might give them another look but a -1 on that recommendation for me for now.

Good thread!

Best because it appear to be made out of some NASA material that makes it ridiculously easy to clean (that kind of thing pleases me)

Best because it's 'gert lush'.

Best because it was the most fantabulous car I ever owned (However I no longer own it and it was many years ago, so just abused the OP to post a pic anyhow - pic not the actual one; it was pre-internet 😀 )

They make a mockery of bolts that have eluded even 6 sided face drive sockets and been rounded off.... My caliper bolds on the jeep and the manifold bolts on my v8 both came off with ease using these.

Why ive struggled so long without em i dont know- although has removed the manlyness of grinding bolts off and welding on nuts.....

Now i want the deep drive version- they are about 60 quid.....will wait till i go stateside for them.

Thats the base set plus the expansion pack a bought from amazon as they wee cheapest for both. Iirc it was either 36 or 42 for the twinpack. My caliper bolts fell right between sizes so i bought both in the end.... 40quids worth it not to be removing cailpers and drilling them out then rebleeding imo 🙂

Citra IPA out of M&S, simply lovely, real ale out of a bottle.

Real worldd cycling needle roller bearings for shock mounting instead of DU bushes, a proper solution if somewhat overkill.

Shure SE425 headphones and iPhone cable. Makes good music sound great, can take calls on them but I do look like a tosses walking down the street chatting away to myself.

New rear springs for their motor, what a difference that's made to the ride!

You're wrong. They've been making proper cider, from apples, for over 300 years.

Aspall .....You're wrong. They've been making proper cider, from apples, for over 300 years.

Hmmm, they appear on both these lists of shame. One of which is Camra

[url= http://www.real-cider.co.uk/ciders-not-recognised-as-being-real/ ]Not real 2[/url]

Having said which I'm not too bothered about added fizz, as long as the main ingredients is apples. I'll try it again next time round.
