    Perhaps not worded correctly – its the closest thing to a bike car-wise that I’ve driven. There’s still a gaping chasm of performance..

    Thats an understatement!
    I’ve just sold my MK Indy, 470KGs wet and 170bhp and 11000rpm. 954 Fireblade lump in it.
    That was the closest you can get to a bike, no screen etc…
    It drove like a go kart but could eat an F430 Scud on the track.
    I dont think the cupra could give anywhere near that thrill!

    I quite like my SAAB 93… yeah its a vectra but its nicer inside!
    It does however, have the most irritating seats that wont fit seat covers!!!
    Great on the S/H market… cost pennies! I got mine in top spec with everything but sat nav and heated seats for 16K with only 8k miles.

    Never had an Issue with CRC to be honest and i’ve been using them for quite a long time now. Some of the best service avaiable i reckon.

    I work for a lighting company in Southern Ireland and you cant always have everything in stock, people let you down, boats get delayed.
    Once we have the items, our biggest enemy is the carrier getting it into the UK (Plane) Then the UK Carrier actually delivering it, in once piece, on time!

    So hats off to CRC! Give them a chance on stock… you try keeping all those lines under one roof.
    If they dont have it, go somewhere else… you would on the high street.
    Im sure they’ll make it up to you when they doooo have that odd spare item you needed that no one else has!

    I’ll buck the trend then…

    I have ‘normal’ length seal skins and love them! Little but like wearing plastic bags i agree. But feet stay 95% dry, dont have an isses with depth of water very often.
    Great to keep out the quantock cold.
    Came home from 2 rides (Read WALKS!) in the snow over the last 2 weeks with dry feet.

    Im looking for some more, maybe a long pair so i can wash/wear/wash etc!

    You cant do that job without changing the grease!
    Im suprised they didnt tell you they were replacing the lot before you left it with them. If you think its a quick job, do it yourself surely?

    I hate the people who stand in the cycle lane thru taunton town centre.
    ITS IS NOT AN EXTENSION OF THE PAVEMENT! It has pictues of bikes in it for a reason!

    I also enjoy running studs down the sides of the parked cars mentioned above… or the idiot cutting you up!

    Bet ur Picasso has Traction control of some sort and crumple zones?
    Both of those are derived from F1 and high end motorsport.

    If i could have been ar sed to get the bike stand out then i would have.
    Thinking a little 4X/jumpy machiney thing really.
    Its a good few years old urrr… 5 maybe 6? so im thinking its only going to want 100mm ish rather than silly travel.
    Might have to gear it as its on vertical drop outs and i’ve had some nasty singlator experiences!!
