    Driving other cars is usually restricted to cars you don’t own, its intended as a emergency thing so we don’t have loads of uninsured claims knocking around.

    As such your correct the old car needs its own insurance or at least adding to another policy as a temp additional vehicle until sold.

    Good luck

    So, we’re on to page two. Any ‘fans’ of Tony showed up yet? I’m not sure there are any in 2013.

    My point- I criticised him circa mid 2012 and was rounded on by the STW heavies, it was like saying helmets are pointless or something.

    Now everyone’s in agreement, he’s a douche.

    Who’s next to fall?

    IanW: was your Diablo within the warranty period?

    I did deal with them direct, so fail to see your point…

    Not sure if it was or not, I bought it from a lbs at a dusk till dawn who has since stopped trading. Exposure were in my opinion very good in fixing it both because I couldn’t prove any kind of purchase and the turnaround which was at short notice fro this years dun run.

    They also went beyond the minimum they could have done just to get it working, I wouldn’t want to say they did this and that in case it sets expectations they wouldn’t want to repeat.

    So my experience of their back up service is great.

    The relevance of pointing out how you deal with them, is your implied criticism by posting a question which is really a complaint.

    I imagine its pretty difficult running a uk company competing against imports manufactured with lower costs. You’ve had two and a half years use from something that now needs a new battery, they’ll do that at a reasonable IMO price or let you buy a new model at a discount. ??
    Would you like the repair for free? At what point would you not expect it for free? And have you told them what you would like before coming on here?

    Fixed my Diablo promptly and very amicably under warranty, cause i dealt with them direct rather thn through a forum. 😉

    1st thing I noticed driving on my return to the UK was the sheer aggressive aspect of driving here

    I don’t find reception the problem, its just an all round worse standard than FM which is just as, if not better sounding, quicker to locate channels and much less energy consuming.

    The only thing DAB has going for it is the content which is nothing to do with the technology. It’s also being superseded by Internet delivery so is in effect a dead duck.

    What i always thought was a good % paid by the employer for the last 12 yrs seems to have amounted to less than the amount paid.

    I have an option to take it in my salary (albeit minus tax) which Im now giving serious thought. .

    My father-in-law is over to stay at the moment and didn’t have my new mobile number so I gave him it. Instead of adding it to the contacts list in his phone he wrote it on the piece of paper that he keeps tucked away in the battery compartment with everyones contact details on.
    Brilliant!

    Which he will still have when your iTunes/Google acc has been corrupted and lost. It will also only include the people he is likely to ring as opposed to “Dave R” who you can’t remember.

    Btw I work developing new tech and use a basic Nokia cos its better than ur not so smart smartphones.

    Yes, It would be difficult to put the same sort of sustained effort in on a mtb that you can on a road bike. Particularly though something like quads. On a mtb you will be changing position to account for the trail surface whilst on a road you can generally focus on applying power to the pedals.

    I would suggest a route that’s convenient, time yourself and work on reducing it, stay seated and controlled and make the legs work.

    That said IME core strength exercises support knees as much as leg muscles, so you could mix a few of those in too.

    1.9tdi Avant , 55mpg ( at least) when I’m driving but I almost never exceed the speed limits and take and age to get close to them.

    50mpg when my good lady drives it like a normal person which you will all be glad to know is 90% of the time.

    It’s actually very difficult to get less than 50mpg, bikes hanging of it,roof box, boot full of wine, etc.

    Frankly the guy could retire now and still feel extremely good about what he’s achieved.

    No one is perfect, but he’s done a huge amount for both the image of cycling and British cycling in particular.

    Perhaps something along the lines of a CVT we saw in Daf cars of the 70’s and then shrunk into gearboxes in the 90’s would work. Build it into a unit around the BB.

    That would be interesting but until it could be serviced with a hammer and a screw driver unlikely to be popular.

    How can it be a psychological or physical issue?

    The Human race hasn’t just gone through a genetic transformation. Thirty years ago when I was at school there was one fat kid who probably did have a glandular problem, on today’s proportions there would be 300 obese ones.

    The program is saying its not their lack of activity. Its the ever increasing quantities of sugar rich food they are encouraged to eat more frequently and in bigger portions.

    Tax sugar , regulate the marketeers – humans return to a normal shape and weight.
