Agree it's to much for a small car as you can buy big stuff for that age and mileage . Has the op though about auctions? Take a friendly mechanic with you and a bargain may be found

Large diesels do 200,000 + miles easily 112,000 is not lots for a seven to eight year old car .I am looking for a diesel Mondeo estate and an 02 plate with that mileage would not be off putting at all

1.4 Astra 160,000 still going strong after 16 years!!

Is this thread a wind up?

I may be blunt in the way I make points but I do give .The Red Cross get my dosh by direct debit monthly

Glad things are going well

Ah you mean all the homeless drug crazed **** I step over wallowing in a mire of their own making.I gave up on them when I gave one 3 quid for the bus I was on only to watch him piss off and not get it. He then tried it again the next day so I told him to get a job and no I wouldn't give him a job If they can afford to buy fags drugs and beer they can buy food and look tidy enough to look for work.Bring back the workhouse!

People live in poverty in this country mainly because they are thick retards who sponge off the state or can't be arsed to get jobs.There is to much political correctness about things here.

I have said similar for years whilst band aid was raising money to fund the arms trade .We stopped a shipment of Scotch going to the government of Ethiopia.I still think most of Africa was( like it or not) better off under colonial rule

Agree about vans I always take bikes and dogs out in a huge Renault Master which I have for work

I cut down to eleven last year + a tandem

YOU need to show proof of earnings over a period of time this may be a problem if you have only just gone self employed.Have you ongoing contracts to show future earnings?

I have horizontal dropouts on an Overburys and it has never been a problem can't see why any others should cause grief if you do them up tight enough and my fixies are ok without tugs one of them has quick release wheels as well

It could be worse ,have you ever heard Alan Brazil go on for hours ,it should just be called talk football

My dog likes the ones they put down!

move the seat forward and get a longer stem .Your back will still like it and your weight will be more over the front?

But ever seen a slow Transit size van anywhere?

60 on dual carriageways in a big van and 50 in a 60 don't know about the small vans though

The system works fine .It has safeguards against you taxing a car that may soon be illegal what's the problem?

Bogs opposite!!

I have employed people who skived on sick pay whilst I struggled to keep a small business going.Now I don't bother and work alone

Never heard of this bloke what band was he in?

Sack the lot and give the jobs to people who really want them .Employees are a pain in the ass.B A are trying to run efficiently and make savings ,save a bit now or the whole company goes tits up later ? Which way do they want it.Then all their glorified bus conductors can go on the dole

100mm hardtail, 60mm hardtail, rigid single speed so not overbiked

Had to turn back on a trail tonight on the Mendips as there were frogs all over it

Go to the doctor or get a shrink ?

Tell us what size chain ring first!

Saw the series and thought his attitude stank especially to the locals in India

old 26 inch rims are 590 or 597 not 559 so the brakes may be a problem

Land mines?

I hope 7 speed stuff will still be available as it clogs less.

Argos are one of the best for stove enamelling.It takes the knocks and lasts for ages I have had three frames done by them over the years

Wheels and tyres have done the three peaks cyclo cross 4 years in a row

How old is she? plenty of things are illegal if she is underage

cyclo cross bike has the same size wheels and is ridden offroad

I already have a 29er for off road it's called a cyclocross bike

26 v 29 er for tall people ,I can't see the 29er advantage I have the same seat height regardless of wheel size and the bottom bracket height won't be much different .Is it all marketing to make us buy yet another bike to go with all the other formats?

Any farmers on here to give their views on people using their land?

I have not got a link it was a long time ago and I phoned Somerset trading standards to check as I had to drive 20 miles to Bristol and park to change a video player (told you it was a long time ago!)
