Zippykona… love it…

A while ago me and a mate were slagging off a colleague via text on our work phones. I composed quite a scathing message, chose the recipient and pressed ‘send’….

As my thumb was heading towards the send button i realised something wasn’t quite right but continuted uncontrollably until i pressed said button. I’d only sent to her the colleague we were slagging rather than my mate (from work). I willed the phone to break, took the battery out, but no, it sent…

Made an embarrassing Monday morning…

Had a F600 with fatty headshock a few years back in SoBe green. Loved it, sorry I sold it. No problems with it at all.

Recently sold a Super Six and replaced it with a Synapse which I love.

Get one, or two….

Edit – like this

I had a similar problem recently with a euro cylinder ( Yale ) and I wrote to them and they replaced it free of charge. Didn’t have the receipt but had something on bank statement from B&Q . They’re really helpful and even gave me a £20 cheque to cover the cost of the spare keys I got cut. Great aftercare.

Thanks for the replies, besides sabotaging his vehicle, i’ll get in touch with the local police again and get some neighbours to do likewise.

I know some of us hear have a heavy right foot ( I certainly do!) but there’s a time and a place I suppose!

Got this last year, daily ( only !! ) driver but great fun!

Billytinkle – love the Clio trophy ….always had a soft spot for them! Any more pictures?

I had a e90 320d tourer, which was great but the turbo blew on it which I believe is a common fault on the 320 Diesel engine, not sure if it’s the same turbo they use on the 330d? I think the 330d is a twin turbo, so maybe not?

Is it not always in?

A specific police forum may be best, like this https://www.policeuk.com/forum/index.php?/forum/111-police-jobs-recruitment/ you’re likely to get responses from those in the job or those going through the process. Good luck.

Or can use it for dealing / illicit affairs anything you want. Someone normally asks on here where / what to get, so there you go! 😀

Osprey. Comfy as a comfy thing .

Thanks for the link but it just directs me to the ‘normal’ front page. Not meant to be!

Likewise can someone send me the link. I can’t access via their site, emailed them and they said there was a problem.. Would like a VR jacket if any going.. Thanks .

Mail in profile .

LOL…. Did you actually laugh out loud…?????

Have an Ambit 1 and have done so for about 4 years now. Never let me down and holds a good charge. Use it mainly for running but have used it on the bike and skiing. Bit on the chunky side but overall I’m happy with it.

Pop the code in above ^^^ to get it for £119.00 plus delivery!

Edit – the Neo Alpine.

Data Protection Act will stop you i think! It’s a civil matter and doesn’t meet the criteria under the act for them to be obliged to disclose it to you.

Slimjim78 – I hear ya…

I’ve got a fiesta ST. Not withstanding the cracking ecoboost engine it’s a great car all round, comfortable, good level of kit and security and really good on fuel, about £40 fills the tank. A none ST version would be equally good I’m sure, probably better on MPG; I can get 47 on a long run, 35 around town.

You also learn that LWB means Long Wheel base at least 5 times! 😀

Macc forest or into the peak . North wales not too far away, but peak is pretty much on the doorstep.

the discloks above are good, i have one. I got one of the manufacturers website on the cheap because it was polished chrome! if nothing else it’ll dazzle the bad guys away. It cost me £50 with storage bag and delivery.

Halfrauds etc sell them too. Good bit of kit and quite solid.

They’re worth an email to see if they’ve any that have been used for Demo’s / photoshoots etc.

Can I be cheeky and have a copy of the GPX too please Tillydog? Mail in profile…cheers.

Great pics by the way. Love the ones off the top of Hellvellyn!

_tom : so you can get a bike in with front wheel off? I appreciate the boot isn’t the biggest but would like to know real world living with.

The dealer where I’m looking at this particular one is closed until Monday.

I done it with the military and it was useful. You are taught how to safely attach and detach the trailer and in the correct order then there’s reversing and manoeuvres as well as general driving with the trailer. Do your Highway Code too on driving with a trailer. Do you need to do another theory test? If so, swat up on that!

Only used it once since passing mind.

Joepose – I may look a tit, but I’m not bothered about that .

Ah yes not sure how but I forgot I went to goodwood FoS last year….great day out, nice and mellow and civilised and lots to do. They’re looking for volunteers to marshal etc at the moment for their key events. No pay, but free entrance etc..

I went this year (2015!) , it’s not 2016 yet!

Been to a few European Grand Prix, get a general admission ticket. Spa is a,good weekend.

Would like to get to Le Mans and maybe Spa 24 hour too.

Go to a lot of British touring cars and British GT.

IoM TT seems fun too !

His foot slipped….

We used a couple over the course of our dog ownership before she passed earlier this year .

Both were great and the first one was replaced as she moved away.

Our dog ( Heidi ) wasn’t keen on other dogs so had solo walks , costing £10 per hour. Some walkers will do group walks too which is good to socialise your dog and generally is a little cheaper than a solo.

Have a mini interview with them first, write a list of questions down that you may want to know…we asked:

Are you insured? I’d want them to be insured.
Crb check?
If the dog walker is a ‘one man band’ do they have someone to cover if the walker is on holiday / sick?
See how the dog gets on with the walker(s)? If you can go on a familiarisation walk together, show them maybe your local walks , areas of interest.

Our dog walker would ask was she allowed treats / medical issues / vets details / emergency contact numbers.

You should be happy with who you choose…as well as giving them the keys and alarm code to your house ( consider changing this if you no longer use them ) you’re also letting them loose with an important family member!

The walker would also replenish her water after a walk and dry her off if muddy / wet. Some walkers like to use their own lead etc.

I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker in Heidi’s last year. She was a absolute star and went the extra mile and fussed over Heidi which put us at ease. If anyone needs a dog walker in Stockport then give me a shout!

My Outlaws just gone. Had a good day and they’re no trouble at all and very grateful and easy going. A good laugh! And they done the washing up, so all good, can’t complain 😀

It’s on iplayer too. Listened before whilst sorting xmas dinner!

It’s pretty good , has a good range and choice on there too. I had it free with my EE phone account. Can use it on other devices and chrome cast too, however it never seemed to work on mine. Give it a whirl.

2 pints of hobgoblin – check
Mini cask of Adnams Broadside – check
Champagne – check

Headache – definitely!

Was out mine last night got home at 2200 and couldn’t be bothered…. Give it a quick hose and muc off and dry down. Locked up again.

Thanks for the heads up regarding the boot,space. I’d like be able to get a bike in with seats down. Not keen on racks personally.

Amazing.

Thanks for the replies…

My current car is a Mk7 fiesta ST. It’s nippy and comfortable but have to take both wheels off and lower the saddle , as well as obviously drop the seats to squeeze my zesty in! I’ve already scuffed the plastic a few times.

I like cars with a bit of poke but don’t intend on trying to boy race everyone off the lights or pretend I’m Colin McRae!

I previously had a bmw 320d (57 plate ) and had to drop the seats with that, I’m happy to do with the Impreza just want to make it easier and not have to totally take it apart!

Yes expecting nothing towards 30mpg , if I do a bonus!

Thanks folks. Yes I gather they’re a bit thirsty but commute to work most days on the bike so won’t be doing big journeys and yes the interior looks like my missus’ old Toyota Rav 4, but they seem to be pretty reliable.

Thanks. Not looking to mod it at all, 220 bhp is quick enough for me, just want to be able to take front wheel off bike and stick it in the back. With my fiesta I have to dismantle it virtually!
