Thanks for that, I will go check them out!!

what about thermal shock adding to an already poor cast disc?

That is very interesting.

Could it possibly be a manufacturing failure with the disk?

So I am about to pull the trigger on a pair of the Berghaus trousers as recommended.

I will keep you all posted.

I am going to work towards doing This Event. (the marathon, not the ultra) Anyone done this race before?

I tend to agree with you on this.

I am currently living in SA (emigrating to the UK end April) i dont think a lot will change, as mentioed above, the culture of crime and corruption is so entrenched in the people and leaders. Its very sad, South Africa is a beautiful country, with loads of potential. We have decided to leave it behind, the crime is getting to much! (i have been held at gunpoint twice) google South Africa farm murders. ps: i am not a farmer.

Dunwich forest is great for a little trail run (and some cheeky MTBing)

Thanks for all the feedback.

It has given me some things to think about!

I have been looking at one of these from Decathlon.

They also come in a 27l size.

I have been following him. That was a crazy crash,funny how he was up so quickly.

Top bloke!!!

I am running WTB Riddler tires tubless on Stans Arch MTB rims.

The combination has proved to be very reliable so far!!!

Just spoke to the missus in Halesworh, (I am currently in a scorching hot South Africa) blown the roof off of the shed, and gate off it hinges.

Is that the landlords responsibility to repair, or ours?

How about a peugeot 106?

You could go cheaper – I have a Forclaz from Decathlon (https://www.decathlon.co.uk/forclaz-400-mens-waterproof-jacket-black-id_8302503.html), which I’m happy with. And £60 means you can buy almost 3 within you budget, or spend the other £115 on something else. It’s heavier than the Alpkit one, but . . .

I think I might pic one up later this week.

How would it work out as a biking jacket?

Obviously – if it tasted nice how would you be able to convince people its a special kind of medicine than makes you feel better than well. Everybody knows that medicine tastes bad (except for Gripe Water obvs) so by the very virtue of being both unpleasant (and even a horrible sounding idea) the only reason people would even be talking about it is because it definitely works wonders

I haven’t drank it a lot, but the Keto community use it as a way of adding fat to there diet.

The theorie is that if you are “fat adapted”, then it work wonders.
If you are not fat adapted, then its just rubbish.

😀 🙂

I dont think it is supposed to taste great (its not bad IMHO) I think people drink it more for the effect/results.

Is the insurance not a lot more on the older/bigger cars?

The reason I ask, I will be looking for a banger early next year.

Hi

What about something like this Helium 17l I am considering getting one for a general pack/bike touring bag.
Not sure what the quality is like though

I think feeling life that from time to time is all a part of life.
Very few people are properly content with life.

Dont underestimate the beauty and simplicity of a one or two night bike packing trip for the mind!!!

Start by very carefully cleaning the MAS. (mas air flow sensor) a few tutorials on google.

I have a traxxas rustler. I have done various mods and hopups. Its tough as nails. I clocked it at 43mph the other day!! Great fum, and relatively cheap for parts.

This Durafly Tundra is a great, fun, and strong plane to fly.

I have been using them for a few years now.

Its a great piece of kit!!

Just to round this off:

Got an ’07 Volvo S60 D5 manual. 73k. Full history. One (fastidious) owner from new. £2k.

Job done. Thanks everyone.

Awesome car for a great price. Do u mimd if I cast what insurance and road tax are costing on a motor like that?

Cool thread.

i am also trying to cut back (basically not drink on school nights)

I find a sodastream machine very handy. I will have a bottle of soad water with a squeeze of lemon instead of a beer.

Good luck guys, stay strong.

You must also check service history, and perhaps even call the local service agent to verify, and check cars history on the system (assuming its gone back to mini to have its services done)

Maxxis Ikon, light, fast and grippy enough for the off-road sections.

Thanks for the input.

I will give it a ago and report back.

Its a very sad state of affairs.

My daughter and wife leave for the UK in a few months, I will join therm early next year.

Dose anybody have a job for me.. 😉

Great news!

Thank for the feedback!!!

I am currently living in SA. The racial tensions is very high at the moment.

You almost get the feeling that it could properly kick off any day. (hope fully not!!)

Very very sad state of affairs, as SA is a beautiful country with loads of potential!!!!

Life is to short, If you want to travel, then travel. I am sure you will not regret it, your daughter will have a wealth of good memories!!

That looks great, well done great effort!!!

So, for that price I could get something “semi” decent.
I dont care what it looks like, as long as it passes MOT, and can fit my bicycle inside!!!

All valid points, maybe I need to raise my “run around” budget…lol

Would the proposed taxes not reduce the prices of Diesel cars significantly?

Hi Guys

Thanks for all the comments. I would not want to settle in GY (even from afar it look like a bum place lol) We were more looking to settle in Lowestoft (as my father in law lives in the area) Well, maybe I need to start shopping for a raod/CX type bike lol

eish, not looking good then…
