    Saw them a while ago at the grand in Leeds. Went with a group of guys from work and thought it was a bit amateurish to be honest. They have probably changed a lot since then. We ended up leaving at half time to get even more leathered than we already were. The worst bit was a guy with a wooden leg having it cut as if it was real on stage then see him hopping back stage via the bar as we were leaving. also wasp boy wasn't much to write home about either.

    I was in the Navy 22 years ago for 6 months. At 16 not having lived and I also struggled with the academic side decided not to stick it past my pvr date. I was training to be an aircraft engineer. In hindsight get some qualifications go in at as high a level as you can. don't go in straight from school live a bit first. You will know if it is for you or not within 6 months. Being told to be back on base upright and sober before midnight didn't help really either

    Iam contracted to 38 hrs a week hours or to suit the needs of the business. I usually work 7.30 till 5.30 mon to thurs and till 4 on fri with 1/2 hr lunch. If you go at 4 it is seen as going early and aweekness in your character. If I work any more than 46 hrs a week I get an o/t rate. For the last 6 months I have been doing 46 hrs a weeek but for 20% salary reduction hard times etc. Last week I approached my boss to tell him as they can no longer afford to employ me full time I would be taking 1 day a week off to seek other employment to top up my salary. Hey presto we have a meeting the same afternoon and they announce we are going back to full salaries. :D wish I had mentioned it sooner.

    Try them with quite low pressures they tend to perform a bit better then. Mine are the supersonics and they are only ok, sketchy on loose corners so dont inspire confidence.

    I think the info you 2 require is on the tft site I asked Tim earlier this year and he said don't let anyone tell you you need to have a new cartridge just clip the spring and replace the lock out lever for the manual one and a different "o" ring to stop it slipping. That was for revs by the way

    I thought tax was based on your vehicle emmisions there for bikes have no emmisions like electric cars so no payment required. The flaw in the scheme is the sorn declaration, take it off the road and dont have to pay tax but you can have it sat there on your drive with the engine running and not pay.

    If the A/C needs regassing it has a leak. Don't get it regassed it will just come out again either get the leak sorted or leave it. As for brake discs and pads about £30 for the set and 1 hour max to fit. Calipers Probably just need a good clean and working in and out a bit seal kit at worst 1 1/2-2 hours. Springs are just a nuts and bolt job easy diy not sure how much but I guess £50 the pair tops. Valuation I think is a bit steep £1200 max sorry if the last bit offends.

    It's the inside of a Jiffy Catering Truck we want to put a vinyl on the outside of the door so when it is shut people can see what the vans carry as they look just like any old van otherwise. Just some marketing/advertising really.

    Just a note some cars dont like you to just tap into the light wiring these are usually cars with can bus system (signal sent down 1 wire to a box that sends a feed to correct bulb. As said earlier use the manufacturers socket if it has one.

    google search for 7 pin towing electrics to confirm pin alocations and wire colours. Trace the wiring back from each light to a point where they come together as one loom and break into the wiring at this point this makes sure all the connections are in the same place for tracing faults later. If it is a newish car you may be able to locate a socket that they use for oe fitment of towing electrics use this if possible. Dont bother with the relay cos it is most likely just the audible warning to let you know you are towing or using a trailer board. Use a trailer board to confirm you pick out the right wires if you dont have a tester. The sounder is just 4 wires, two from the socket l anrd r indicators the other two wire to the indicators on the car and there might possibly be an earth to connect. Please solder the joints if at all possible those scotch lock type things are just shite and a pet hate of mine

    We are trying out our new to us cabanon stratos out this weekend in wales. We opted for this one because the awning section only needs 3 hooped poles so should be reasonably easy. Famous last words.

    Doesn’t look like very good penetration round the back to me! Welders need to get good penetration.

    Same happened to us recently 20% pay cut for salaried staff (me).Hourly paid 20% pay cut but 50% work one week the other 50% next week effectivly they work week about but get paid every week less the20%. salaried staff though expected to work as normal which is 48 hours a week although the contract I have is for 38 hours. I do get paid over time after 48 hours. I find it very difficult to take the unpaid day (20%) off without thinking the knives will be out while i’m not there. Iam the only person considering doing it.

    Have you looked at mad suspension systems? We use these at work on citroen vans progressive or helpers might suit your needs for towing. We fit them because our vans run fully loaded all the time.

    tinribz thats correct they do wind out and can be fitted vertically or horizontaly to just about any door probably. The foursided key has a dimple on it to indicate which way to put the key in. Only took me about six months to work it out :oops:

    Google pacri bolt I have a lock up in a not very good area and have fitted them. only time I have been broken into was by the police with a locksmith in tow it took them 3/4 of an hour to get in eventually using power tools. If they had rung the council they would have told them who rented it and I would have opened it for them then they could see it was not a drug den.

    A taylors ice cream machine wont run from an inverter cos it has a voltage latching relay that cuts out under load. I Will just have to eat all the ice cream before it goes off or change relay for a contact breaker the decission is yours.

    Ive just read through this thread and feel a bit smug sorry. I rang cotic on christmas eve and bought the last medium soul in black they had in and to top it all it was at the old price £410. I have ridden an inbred for the last few years and at first didn’t feel the difference but after about a month I am now convinced it is just better balanced it feels right and begs to be thrown faster and faster into corners. I love it. :D
