    Sale prices only

    It’s nice, but not ‘twice the price of everything else’ nice

    Don’t use Wren

    Complete cowboys

    My kitchen is still half finished due to their half arsed work and non existent customer service

    I’m not having Miliband leading the country

    Not sure which of the other less rubbish parties I’m going to vote for yet

    I’m sure the first series showed more work being done didn’t it?

    Also Ant seemed to be doing the work instead of buggering around while his minions are in the garage until midnight

    Looked great in the end

    I’ve had a few mk1’s and looking at the state of that shell, I think I would have binned it and found something more solid to start with.

    I wanted to see how they patched up the windscreen pillar and sills. It is a good programme, I just want to see a bit more of the work being done

    Santa Cruz?

    Is it 3 times the price of similar bikes?

    I feel the same

    I’ve no wish to check out, I just struggle to find meaning in anything. I feel like a robot, and constantly wonder what’s the point?

    I think in my case there are 2 reasons. My health isn’t great and that prevents me doing a lot of things I’d love to do. I also get paid just enough to cover bills and food and getting to work. No spends for anything extra, even going for a few pints isn’t happening.

    I think some of us think too much. I’ve been like this since being a teenager. I remember standing on the platform at piccadilly train station, when I was around 18,looking at guys in their 50’s and thinking ‘is this it?’

    I think the key is finding something that you are comfortable with. Looking back my happiest times were when I worked in menial Summer jobs (NZ and USA). No responsibility and laid back people to be around.

    Ideally I’d like to bugger off to France or Italy and and work in a completely different field.

    For me new experiences are what make me happy and at peace. I’m not really healthy enough at the moment. For the OP, if you have decent health, then try something new, it’s the monotony that’s dangerous

    My lower legs on the outside started going bald when I was about 38

    Inside of legs is fine

    No idea what causes it

    I’d love to do a road trip like that

    I did see him go to Italy in his Lamborghini

    I still don’t know how a magazine editor has so many expensive toys

    The Testa Rossa though. It’s an awful looking thing.

    Quentin Wilson did a feature on it the other week. It’s so ugly. It’s neither delicate nor purposeful.

    50,000 is nothing, but if you’re in no rush maybe you’ll find something with lower miles

    10,000 a year is about average. Maintenance, especially oil changes, is more important than mileage

    As for if your wife is right, of course she is, always

    The large was twenty odd quid earlier

    They have increased the price, luckily that gives me an excuse not to buy another jacket

    Looks great for the money

    I really really don’t need another jacket though, do I?

    Nice work on the Mk1 golf

    I’ve had three, sold the last one a couple of years ago

    Did you have lots of rust around the fuel pump? It wrote off my second one

    Suzi Perry is awful as a presenter. No conviction whatsoever. Shopping channel is about her level.

    Jodie Kidd sounds like she’s talking to 4 year olds. Her reports are OK, but in the studio…

    The GT Grade looks all kinds of wrong

    Looks like 3 or 4 bikes thrown together

    The Cotic and Niner look lovely

    Some total knob walked over my mx5 about 6 months ago

    Dented the bonnet and boot

    Even now I’m annoyed about it and I’d like to use his head to try and fix the dents

    Yup, more actual work on the car would be good.

    It’s often the case that these shows get dumbed down a bit to appeal to a wider audience.

    It looked great when done though. They do a proper job. Just wish we saw more of the work being done.

    Pizza has to have black olives and anchovies

    The garlic ones are good too

    Lying on the beach just as the sun’s going down and everyone has left, listening to the waves, birds, and the faint noise of civilisation in the distance.

    Also the stillness after a good snow fall

    On the other hand, a Ferrari flat 12 at full throttle

    Are we really going to have Miliband leading the country?

    I’ve seen a documentary about Beretta before

    The cutting of grips on the stock and engraving the metal side plates is amazing

    Just one little slip…

    They showed how accurate they are by putting a piece of paper (think it was a £10 note) at the end of the barrel, then trying to close it. It wouldn’t shut

    Impressive

    I’d love to go and live in France, but I’ve no idea what work I could get there

    I don’t earn enough to save up anything either

    If you come up with a cunning plan, let me know

    The 10k you’re getting could be a useful way to get settled somewhere and learn the language

    Gravitysucks- that’s going to be tough enough on an xc bike

    Hats off for doing it on a fat bike
