    We joked 16yrs ago when we installed SAP that it stood for Stops All Production

    Turns out it was Stops All Payment too.

    2.5yrs ago…. 730bhp….

    1.8T Ibiza Cupra (210bhp)
    2.0T Mk5 Golf GTI (260bhp)
    2.0T Altea Freetrack (260bhp)

    Now 183bhp…. FML
    1.5DCi Gashqai 108bhp
    1.2T Polo 75bhp

    At least the road tax is cheaper

    No need to go onto the Isle of Wight for a week. Your kids will be bored to death.

    Go there for a day & drive round it instead (should be about £35 for a day return)

    Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is best done over two days I’d guess (the tickets are valid for a year anyway), Jurassic coast is awesome (and ‘free’ if NT)

    Maybe stop somewhere just west of Southampton as a base in the New Forest, that way you get the best of the road network and can get about

    25% in the HTB ISA, or if he can’t be trusted with that then take it off him & stick it in a separate account for him for when he does buy a house (or needs a rental deposit)

    My folks decided to charge me 25% of my first pay, which indirectly was the motivator for me to earn more money to move out…. and I never looked back.

    Typically knee pads unless it’s a proper XC slog.

    No elbow pads or anything else, I just learned to fall on my knee. So far, so good.

    Even Evans are only £40 inc Silver DB spokes and presumably nipples.

    I think you were done….. I’ve not built a wheel in maybe 18yrs, but I bet it still wouldn’t take me 3hrs

    Prime to the rescue!

    Of course…. you might have one in your old chainset? Looks like a fairly samey part

    Sounds like a duff bit then sadly.

    I assume you’re holding onto a thread? It’s just been mis-punched. Might be quicker to see if there’s a spare available than warranty the whole thing?

    Most places (big employers) only open the schemes for a fixed period (my employers is June) as it sync’s all the sales at the same time in so much as changes to pay roll etc

    I have a Qashqai, but I don’t think I’d want to tow much with it.

    I hired a container as a storage unit while we were inbetween houses.

    It had this stuff all inside it & had no issues with condensation at all. The owner swore by it

    Worth a look, I doubt it’s cheap but it’ll be good

    Flymaybe….

    I use them for work, sometimes every week & I can probably count on one hand the number of on time flights I’ve had last year

    I was talking to Al about his Deedar on Wednesday at QECP – he likes it (replaced a Bird)

    It certainly looked smart(er) than my old Inbred frame

    Nope, I spent my £10 voucher on £10 of stuff (discounted from £30!) – posted for free too

    OK, so of all my three orders I was fully refunded

    I got a working (and now used) £10 voucher

    And I received one of the things I orders

    I wish Cycle Surgery did these sales all day long… so far I’m £42 of product up on zero outlay! Thanks Harry!

    None of my orders were in stock.

    So I got a refund on everything.

    So I got sent some £10 vouchers.

    And also some shipping notifications :twisted:

    What visa is she on now?

    If the answer is anything other than ‘She is in oz’ you might have to look at other options https://www.gov.uk/ancestry-visa/overview

    2x 5 pack of Oakley Socks, a Knog set, and a messenger bag (from £55!!)

    All ordered separately just in case anything sold out while I deliberated. Paypal too, so I didn’t need to move :D

    They do an excellent warranty replacement service.

    I got a new 520 for £55 on exchange earlier this year

    they need better pay for the responsibility of driving a large bus full of passsengers

    Is that because when they took the job they were just driving a small bus with no passengers?

    We had one – gift from the teacher!

    shermer75 – the coin batteries basically start to dissolve & then give you chemical burns on the inside

    Can you get e-hub’s in 150/170/190mm axle widths?

    I think that’ll be the first stumbling block to clear – then decide on the frame

    Unless of course you got an ‘old’ offset 135mm like my charge cooker frame

    oldfart,

    We bought the same set for my daughter (was 4, now 5) and it’s had so much use.

    She can build off the instructions that it comes with, or those online… She struggles to freestyle at the moment, a bit like me.

    She’s also helped me build way more complicated stuff before & after, it’s really helped her dexterity

    Norco 7.1 (HT, so not totally relevant) came with 27.5+, and 29ers are smaller looking so loads of room

    Yup, settled cash in lieu twice now. Did literally nothing (aside from re-MOT) and kept using the cars

    What’s the market value of the car?

    m0rk

    Who’s insurance has made the offer? yours, or theirs?

    It’s your car… so you don’t need to do anything in a hurry as it’s still road legal (assuming no sharp edges etc)

    Definitely no whisky to calm your nerves before. Nor half a bottle like one chap did before meeting me once (for a very short time)

    What you really need to ask yourself is “what sunglasses for a mass produced italian car”

    For when you need to look cool while stood at the side of the road waiting for the AA?

    Serious thoughts though… it’s probably rotten through, so if it’s gone there, it’ll go elsewhere if the patching thought was serious

    Time for ebay trawling for a new frame for your winter hack

    Turn the bike the right way up and you can’t see it.

    It’ll be fine, just try not to huck to flat too much

    Or some time later?
