Well, being as I went to the same gig and we didn’t get out until just after 1am… I’m guessing a 24hr Maccy D’s

🙄

Thanks!

the thought of seeing this at the end of July next year, filling me with equal happiness and fear!

how old is the car? is the work under warranty (guess not if you’ve paid £700)? if so I’d try and escalate it to Ford UK rather than the dealer/franchise, just have a good list of times/dates & work carried out so far.

If it’s out of warranty try a ford specialist, rather than a main dealer.

Use a ford owners forum to find a decent local place, or just to ask the same question about more ideas about the fault itself.

Cracking ride as always, bit breezy in parts!
Cheers to everyone for their company, and DeeJay for organising.

And for those who are wondering how DeeJay comes up with the routes on his rides, this is the picture that inspires him:

🙂

Weather….. actually looking ok (shhhhhh!!!) bright and breezy!

somebody say flapjack??? 😛

Taken in Santorini a few years back:

Another Salomon fan here…

My favourite so far of Jenson our new Springer Spaniel Pup. Also lucky to catch him in a moment of stillness and calm

Evening ride up the prom with the illuminations? be quicker than by car too!

I was just about to say about the ‘Alcohol Free Shop’ depending on your location in the north it may be travellable, it’s on the Oldham side of Manchester. I drive past it daily too/from work.

This sounds like a good idea…

Mixed Case

Try Superstar[/url] for pads, they have their lovers and haters on here… unlike Nick who just has lovers it seems.

One for your desktop wallpapers you lot… Nick clearly not on Sunday!

😉

What are brake pads?????

Excellent ride again, can’t beat a bit of grit in the eyes and a river in your shoes to make a downhill interesting. The two of us that cleared off just after the golf club ended up doing the first stretch from the New Delight down to Hebden again but downhill!! it was ace, if a little scary with only a front brake.

Can’t beleive there was flapjack and I missed it… next time!!!

You will find some differences in the shape/size of the 'nappy' bit in the shorts, I have some decathlon ones and a few pairs of others, I tend to use the decathlon ones for shorter rides/trail centres as they're not as 'restrictive' :cough: and the others, endura and pearl izumi are better for full days in the saddle as the fit is better.

Did the Decathlon shorts help with the numbness? If not it may be worth trying a different saddle instead, one with a bit more pressure relief.

Could well be up for this too, always good riding around there.

Cheers.

Until Xmas:

Les Dawson, I was about 7-8 doing the Manchester to Blackpool vintage car run, he was in the car behind all the way there, we (me and three others roughly the same age) spend the whole journey with us pulling faces at him out of the back window, and he was pulling faces and mucking about back at us. When we got to blackpool he came over to see us and our parents and had a chat. Legend.

More recently, Jimmy Carr in a Starbucks in Manchester, in the queue next to him, he could see I was doing a double take so actually said hi to me first. Came across really well.

Several corrie people and the ginger copper from heartbeat…..

not much info on closures etc, but here's a linky….

I'll be there too. Cheers

Any ideas as to starting/parking spot yet?

Chilli and Rice

'twas yummy too 😀

buy a hatchback, remove the parcel shelf & bob's your uncle a giant bin in the back of the car

Is this part of your 10 mile 'road' commute?… surely the only way it would be faster on a downhill bike.

How about just having less too break? or in this case if you decide to throw it at the wall you'd just hurt your hand….

Air Mouse

local shop location is just to the right of the two riders, as it was just a prefab for the show, you can make out Marsden in the background, and the straight road from MM's picture on the right

in fact one of those two specks is MarsdenMan himself chasing up Bunnyhop.

no issues here, my account got the 'makeover' the other day

only improvement I've seen so far is the nice image previewing thing if someone attached photo's to an email.

I would have said TVR but we all know what happened there 🙄

how about Melling Wildcat 8)

Or at least the AJP8 engine it used that went into it

Placebo doing Kate Bush's 'Running up that Hill' is fantastic 8)

If you want it light (& lighter than your Trailstar) have you considered the Scandal instead of an Inbred? Comes up quite a bit lighter and has the same (or very similar) geometry.

Looks like a great ride, sorry I didn't make it in the end… next time!!

Cracking pics lowey as always…. I do like this one, maybe it should be used for a campaign warning again the dangers of accepting jelly babies from strangers on moors.

😆

that's this one…. Courchevel

525 metres with gradient of 18.5 %. The airport's elevation is at 6588ft. ❗

Here until 5pm: 🙄

Then here….

You may be able to pick up a nice Toyota Yaris for that price, the 1.4d4-d engine is great and will easily do 50+, or the 1.3 petrol is also good.

Other small economical cars worth a nosey I guess would be, 1.4tdci fiesta, maybe an early Honda Jazz, Fabia (again with the polo chassis/engines). think the 1.5dci micra is also in the £30pa tax bracket.

Apparently neighbouring Dubai Television has refused permission to broadcast 'The Flintstones'.

A spokesman for the channel said:

"A claim was made that people in Dubai would not understand the humour… but we have heard that people in Abu Dhabi Do"

:groan: 😆

Sorry to here that Sheldon, wishing you a speedy recovery and hope the Alps trip comes good for you… in the meantime here's a couple of picks of your former self to enjoy and other people to point and laugh at.

I would be tempted to get a TT if I could get this boot lid…..

White are fine, but you may lose them in the snow 😆

One of my friends is using this on his core console because of the issue you've got.

Worth trying Samuri's idea 1st as it'll be cheaper, but if that fails….

Memory Module

I must admit I swap one of my saddles from my on-one to my road bike when I go out on it, the seating position will be different, but I still find it the most comfortable option, it's nothing special, just a bodyfit ti railed job.

Have a Charge spoon on my FS that I couldn't get on with on my road bike though so I guess it's just a case of suck it and see (not literally, that's be pretty manky!)

Run a 2.1 on the front of my full susser, great tyre for most conditions, roll pretty well on the road too.

Chew – YGM too, Thanks.
