Yeah, shame the second season was rubbish up until the last episode before the break, which was ok.

I hate to see it, but the budget issues were really showing

90% of the second series so far has been zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Watched it already… it’s good!

thank god!

cheers all, i think i will give the top tube one i was given a go on the weekend, as stated above it did worry me having the rear fixed one with regards stability, also i can imagine as above it will be less harsh and give a bit better control.

cant wait now, she will ‘hopefully’ love it! might be a bit messy with the gear and brake cable ontop

hi sorry forgot the important bit,

my daughter will be 2 in june, to start off it will be along the local canal and take the bike on holiday around the campsite etc.

i wouldnt dare go out on the road with her (just me !)

i was given the top tube seat but don’t fancy it to be honest.

i was about to type “they could have installed it on the other side of the roof”

I’ll get my coat

ps- they do look sh*T!

is the urban myth true aswell, you have to have them installed for about 300 years before you get any visible payback financially?

an old original ‘proper’ mini, had great fun messing with my old one

Leon if it were me (sounds like a golf ;), however as above it has the worst dashboard ever designed in the history of the motor car.

great win for the lads, triple crown fingers crossed, but still need to be more ‘clinical’. big thumbs up for scotland though kept on till the end, that hogg geezer top class.

I wish I could post something middle class, but the wife did the food shop in aldi’s, I bought a scratch card and sausage roll from the spar on the way to work in my 10 year old battered fiesta. oh, oh I did wear a blue shirt to work and sat in a warm office all day, does that count?

havent read the above but from our experience (limited budget/didnt see the point in buying new)…

just my views from going through it as it is a sensitive subject to some!!….

you can get good second hand gear off ebay especially if you want a flash travel system.

the way baby stuff is advertised/marketed its all to pull at your heart strings and SPEND, SPEND , SPEND!

i would avoid Quinny, totally form over function and we had a nightmare with ours.

good luck

haven’t checked above but have u lot seen the lovely ‘austin healy’ kicking off bigtime on twitter, the backlash after his pre match welsh comments! I bet his agent is happy! oh dear

as above they will set it all up for you, +1 for the hdmi cable myth , cheap v expensive no difference.

Wales deserved the win (ok biased), was touch and go there mind, think 1/2p will be taking over all the kicking duties from now on. hopefully be a grandslam finish Wales and france 😉

dont know if i can watch the welsh match!! the tension will be too much.

yes alot of youngsters in again due to injuries but i like this as the sooner we ‘blood them’ the better it will be for the future.

didnt everyone write wales off before the ireland v wales world cup match 😉

i think if wales have a sh*t game they will mix it right up selection wise which could be interesting.

looking forward to the england game, very intersting to see how they get on and the style of play.

don’t get credit

we had one of these fitted just over 18 months ago.

all in it came to just over £1,700, this was a local firm who were known not to be the cheapest but the best.

this was with a wireless thermostat, taking away the old boiler, moving the new boiler to another wall.

as a father with a 2 year in my honest opinion that is a little bit stupid.

im not a climber but why would you take a risk.

i wouldnt touch her with anyones sausage

I wish they’d drop the star in a car. Its too long and tedious.

i agree, they should actually go a bit 5th gear and review more normal cars as a section instead of star in a car, but still take the p*ss.

out yourself in the other guys shoes

can’t wait! roll on all the replies to this thread from all those that hate it but strangely watch the whole programme?! if you hate it, think its crap why watch it. hehe.

i remember my brother tried to get into the marines way back in 1982. dad took him down, my brother goes into interview dad waits outside, 15 minutes later my brother comes out , head down.

my father was asked into the interview room, he basically told my dad that your boy was too ‘nice’ and wouldnt hack it.

when pressed he went on to say they prefered kids from rough backgrounds.

i still wind him up to this day as he cried all the way home in the car

dont know if its changed but about 10 yars ago a mate had a huge extension built, he had a bit of bother when it was signed off as the RSJ wasnt ‘legit’ and he didnt have a certificate for it.

cant remember the exact details but the words RSJ + Certificate ring a bell 😉

Happy Fingers McGee

hahaha

dont rule one of these out either… avensis estate, the top one has tons of kit and looks more sporty than this one..

What Kevin and Sally?

pmsl!

made my day cheers!

a mate has a honda accord estate it is bl**dy massive you could drive a mondeo up into the boot its soo big.

kiln park here, a week in may!

walk away, she will fall for you and all the sh*t will start again.

just my 5p!

+ not fair on the kids!

1) yes over the bridge 😉

there was a guy on the news last night and he reckons it will have to be ‘chopped up’ at site then the bits taken away, due to the size and the type of damager… Hmmmmm

just getting back into it after a 20 year absence (was quite good when i was 14/15 but then found the joy of cheap cider from the corner shop)…. so funny seeing how far the technology has come , like most sports golf is very “all the gear no idea” had to laugh at the bloke going mental up the driving range with his new 8 million pound driver and couldnt even get the ball past 50yrds poor sod…..

as above most of our local clubs are screaming for new members, the days of waiting lists are long gone.

remember buying a new sofa in DFS and paid in cash, the bloke nearly sh*t himself didnt know what to do, had to ask about 5 other guys, took about 30 mins to sort out…

still havent forgiven my mother for throwing out all my BOXED original first time round star wars stuff, AT-AT, Scout walker, falcon, the works…. be worth a mint now

Still, there’s a plus side. In the future, owls get to wear fish bowls on their heads.

pmsl

havent read all of the above only your post.

but in this day and age even with camera phones etc etc there is no excuse not to take photos of the actual item rather than use ‘stock’ photos.

cheers all,

the steering rack was shot to **** at about 50k miles as it run totally dry beofore the wife finally came clean and said “the steering is making noises”

new rack has been fitted and i check the level every week and it has never dropped or needed topping up.

Will it do it at a standstill?

good questions, i’ll check

CV Joint probably.

(How did they “check” them?)

hes a mate of a mate (yeah i know) but he is trusted and said they were checked.

cheers,

dont know about the ‘support bearing’ will take a look.

there is no vibration whatsoever, the steering is spot on and no uneven tyre wear…..
