I've got a guy coming to hopefully buy it this week but if he lets me down and it fits, do you fancy it?

Rivington eh?

He's claiming on twitter that 50,000 viewers became stuck.

A few STWers have joined in this group.

One Photo A Day.

Been forced to take a picture a day and post it up for judging really improves your shooting

Didn't work here either

My Civic says 76mph while the sat nav says 70mph

Count me in, I'll give Mike a run for last place

Did you do the big ramp off McMoab Simon?

and 5200ft of climbing

The one I test drove had a massive wallop of torque at first but more than about 3.5k it lessened, so you had to change up at that point to get the next wallop.

That's my fuel economy problems with my 2.2 Civic (above) heavy right foot all the time :oops:

Stafford and back today only 45mpg, but I might have broken the speed limit once or twice :twisted:

I know what you mean.

BTW mines a 2.2 diesel 135bph, metalic light blue (which it looks like they don't do now), EX model with electric everything, cruise control etc, etc (no sat nav)

There are a couple of scuffs from bike forks on the rear plastic part of the back passenger door, and a little scratch on the front bumper when I clipped a car in the B&Q carpark, plus a scratch on the wind mirrow from a bin truck on a narrow lane. After a full valet (to get rid of dog hairs)it would be perfect as long as your right foot isn't as heavy as mine.

If you are interested then let me know and I'll phone the leasing company for a quote for you.

I'm based near to the the M6 and M62 junction.

the civic I drove had a crazy spoiler on the back, not sure if they all have that but it meant you couldn't see a thing out the back window.

They are strange but I found it was in a perfect place to cover the following cars headlights as night time, reducuing the glare in the rear view mirror.

Company Mondeo for me from Xmas

molgrips – If you want a cheap one and can wait until late December I hand my leased one back then.

I leased 3/4 of it and can buy it from the lease company for a 1/4 of it's value, the value won't be much because of it's 110,000 fully serviced mainly motorway mileage and it's only had me as it's one owner.

As for the fuel economy I mentioned above, it could be down to my heavy right foot though and the course ride because I ordered the bling low profile wheels :oops:

I've the new shape civic and after 110,000miles and nearly 3 years I wouldn't buy another, great for gearand bikes (as long as they arn't large framed bikes), not as economical as it statesand the ride is crap.

DON'T go for big rims/wheels, if you do get one with bigger rubber as the suspension is as bad as my rigid bike over rocks (nearly)

But doesn't the Jetta have a boot, go for the golf instead

76th in 3hr 44min, I was aiming to beat 4 hours and did so by over 15mins, very happy

I also think there should be a single speed prize/group

Sorry – Trekster but I'm not in the slightest bit miserable in my approach to life, he made me that way because I never wanted to be like him.
So, I suppose I have something to thank him for.

Cheers neverfastenuff.

I don't have/want kids to be a miserable git to anyway.

Maybe I should have waited for this shot as my "Photo a day"?

Thanks for all the above.

I do get on with him and we've never fallen out but as we've nothing in common conversations only seem to last 10 minutes before we run out of things to talk about.

I guess it's because he was a strict prison officer he must have brought his work home with him.

Let me guess it's your photo of the day?

Oh look there it is, nice one

I must be looking forward to it so much that I've actually cleaned my bike 8O

Fancy a gentle ride along the old train tracks, up Ballacotch, a quick lap of Chibbanagh finishing through Port Soderick and along Marine Drive.

Aiming to leave the Sea Terminal at around 3pmish tomorrow afternoon once we've dumps our gearin the hotel?

Don't hold your breath, I've got 2 mates who've bailed and there are ferry spaces as well as the transfers and the event places going for just £25 each and I've had no takers.

http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/end2end-bring-it-on

His new show tickets have just gone on sale at £30 each.

Although I like him he'd need to work his magic on me to part with that sort of cash, what are these entertainers thinking of with such high prices, then there's the booking fee and the credit card fee.

I know the big stars charge nearly £100 but a magic show at £70 for 2 people I ask you…..

Rant over

From Manx.net

"Okay, it's confirmed by my colleagues at Ronaldsway Met. Office & the latest charts from UKMO & the model from the American GFS that the settled spell that has started today (as predicted) will last for several days. So it will stay dry now up to & a few days beyond Sunday, with moderate or light breezes — that's also good news for the many riders & friends coming over on the ferries. The ground conditions will gradually dry out & firm up in many places much more than the soft & damp or wet / soggy mud mess at present.

Sunday itself is going to be fine & bright with a good deal of sunshine in prospect, breeze averaging 10mph from the N or N-NE (behind us :D ) & temperatures rising from around 12C initially to between 17 & 19C at best in the afternoon / mid 60's F."

Saturday afternoon bimble.

Anyone fancy it

It will be a very short & gentle ride along the tracks, up Ballacotch, a quick lap of Chibbanagh finishing through Port Soderick and along Marine Drive.

Ask for The Woollybacks or Bonzo

The balls didn't move all show, so I guess we'll find out on Friday

It's official we've had 2 last minute bailers.

£25 (each) get's you their foot passenger ferry details (£52) and their End2End entry places (sold out so priceless).

Email me at johnmoore200 @ aol.com (no spaces) if your interested

There will be 4 possible 5 End2End virgins on as foot passengers on the 11.30 Liverpool ferry, don't forgot your bike locks for the hold in the boat.

We may have one or even 2 ferry space/s and event entry/ies available for £25 if anyone's interested.

You will need to change your name though ;-)

Testing, testing 123

I've got the Montane Featherlite Vélo Jacket and the Montane Stormrider Jacket, just don't wash them in the washing machine, hand wash them in clean water and they are perfect, if a little smelly.

Sorry but

On a borrowed bike and no witnesses

“I was riding the bike (along a cycle path) and must have fallen as next thing I knew I was coming round and the bike was nowhere to be seen."

Could he have lost it in a bet or sold it on?

Number 693 what is your number?

Five of us on the 11:30 ferry from Liverpool Friday.
See you there.

Same here, you going as foot passengers as well?

Have you tried welcome cottages?

Cheers for that, it wouldn't fast forward on Sunday.

No commentary made it feel as if you were there.

I can remember driving home after the first plane hit and watching it all unfold.

I hope you enjoy the End 2 End on Saturday.

I'm doing it with the other 998 riders on Sunday.

Weather looks promising from Wednesday to Sunday BTW

Is Avast free for the 2nd, 3rd years ect?
