take a look at the top gear £6K second hand episode?

As an alfa fan:
GTV Cup
147GTA
Early Brera

will all put smiles on your face
(3L V6 of course !)

Blimey omin that is a good enough reason to stop! Mine was a live of girls and drinking when I went to uni!

U lot trying to scare me off with your injury stories? Or does everyone stop hockey following massive facial injuries!

Cheers guys, good to know there are some people out there.
I’m sure i would enjoy getting back into it im just worried that i might not be able to commit to many saturdays and therefore might be more trouble than im worth to a club. I also got rid of pretty much all my kit so it is going to be a bit of an investment to get going again regularly.

Do you regulars find enough time for riding, hockey and partners/family?

I also played left back and would probably still like that position. I love the feeling of a well connected, accurate reverse hit up the line 🙂 I was always a TK stick fan, i think the main reason was the fact i liked the elephants symbol!

My current plan is to go along thrusday nights for 3-4weeks with borrowed stick and pretty much no kit and see if i am still motivated. then i can look at getting stuff. It will also depend on if i get moved from practicing with the juniors soon! (i am not used to watching my language!)

Pretty much only an Alfa if i could pick one from the range that would do what i need.

they get under your skin, not convinced the guilietta hasnt lost its soul a bit in being too good/sensible but at least it will keep alfa afloat 🙂

I feel like flouncing but im not enough of a big hitter for anyone to care.

this thread is really depressing. cya another day when its gone

i get very annoyed a walkers multipack bags.
they have nothing like the same flavour as the single packs. They are clearly saving money by just flavouring them less. to the point where i am thinking of buying six single bags next time i go to sainsburys

Grrrr

so much for this being a cycling website…

There is no way (ChrisS) that this is the cyclists fault and responsibility to pay for damage. Yes there are thinks that he could of done to reduce the likely hood of it happening but it is still the passenger who shouldnt open a door without looking endangering others.

I would go to the police only to make sure the guy isnt after you and explain you left the scene because of his behaviour then your ass is covered and you have dont knowthing wrong.

Ask on here about re-mapping :

My mums an 18, 25 years in acedemia (in one institution)!

I got fed up with my phone dropping signal and being non-responsive while trying to talk to my girlfriend that i threw it very hard against a tiled floor……. it didnt damage the tiles….

+1
very good at keeping your eyes free of much which is the only important bit right?

ps the longer travel you bike, the bigger that gap is, the more noticable effect it has

ive got a 1 and a half hour drive to do to get home, your all lucky gits.

Might go out in the dark and rain on my road bike once im home though 🙂 (i may be insane)

it will be harder to go uphill

More importantly, Does it come with a crown race??

I was trying to make the same decison a while back and got a cannondale six 105
the current eqiv is the supersix 105 and very smart it looks too.

otherwise id look at canyon, maybe Giant. maybe just find a good local road shop and get something they stock and recommend?

the definative article:

Or at least the best ive read

If I were you id get the police notified to insure against the above/ any other dodgy dealing.

if you fancy keeping it though, just move it 🙂 ( although surely ALL your financial dealings are now very vulnerable if some dodgy scamp knows everything about you)

south cotswolds: pipehouse nr Bath. pictured here:

FRONT:

Troutie lumen lib mk3
Exposure little 2 led Race
A cateye backup/commuter
and a little 5 led keyfob sized backup

Edit: forgot my 2 £10 tesco torches of a couble of years ago for occasional helmet mounting with a joystick bracket

REAR:

two decent cateye rear lights and a knog rear light which is crap and let in water and stoped working which i cant get my money back on coz i dont know if i kept the receipt and im not going to search the house looking.

could be just what i was looking at but a surprising amount of both pedestrians and drivers in their 70’s- 80’s

Really tough situation, I just wanted to re-itterate Stuey. listen and dont be tempted to try and fix or find a solution. Works in every part of a relationship, just because she shares something with you doesnt mean you should wade in. Listen, support, let her lead and let her move on if thats what she needs.

Sorry SamB i hope someone has actually contacted you in a thoughtful and considerate fashion but im not hopeful.

I think TJ has gone quiet because he was a bit winded after being pushed off his high horse by coyote up there.

i hope he stays off it ( along with the rest of you)

Alfa 147 or 156 GTA 🙂

get a very tidy example for 10K and take it to Autodelta to be played with 🙂

edit: one autodelta already played with, 3.8L v6 with 300bhp

2007 ATA on XC700 was a waste of time. they need an acronym for slowly reducing travel over time ….

My first Car was a 1.6 Tspark 147
second was a Mito
Third will be a 4C

nothing wrong with Alfa’s 🙂

apart from my dad’s 2600 Sprint a few years ago, Money pit!

the Spider[/url] he has now is much better

Really like the 159, watch for front tyre wear issues and check out Alfa owner for other stuff to watch for

key question for me is do you have a road bike or other spare bike you can leave a slick rear tyre on? (Or does your back wheel have v-brake surfaces?)

if the answer is no to this then get a static excesize bike. if the answer is yes then get a turbo ( or rollers – keeps it a bit more interesting!) and download some sufferfest videos on a laptop in front of you to help you train.
remember to use a big fan to get some air flowing over you, makes it much more comfortable

I concur with lotus notes being awful

secondly ive not used SAP as a user but as a source for my systems its an absolute PITA anyone else found their KUNNR table yet 🙂

Someone mentioned MS Analysis services, as a specialist in it i would disagree its not hard to use its hard to learn!

im getting a 404 just getting to the home page

lol at the idea of someone really suggesting a trail centre, laggan is fun but im sure there is so much out there that is danny mackaskill/ hans rey techy.

What i suppose you really mean is what is ridable by the average STWer?

Been to dunkeld and would aggree its pretty tough

I would have thought that alot of the larger companies have resort managers / more senior people. you might be able to use your age/ experiance of doing other seasons to wangle a higher paying season job?

I just hit 6 years a couple of days ago, i am going to pop the question in the next few weeks :S 🙂

give it a chance, riding a road bike is uncomfortable and nervy to start with.

Windows phone 7 really is very good, has the iphone thing of just working and doing everything u need.
Its a bit less cluttered on the front screen too. ilike 🙂

ive had success ‘pushing’ 2 full sus bikes. my ibis especially it removed the high speed spiking when you hit rough stuff fast.
Deffo recommend tf and PUSH 🙂
(one standard float on my titus and an rp23 on the ibis)

😛

Taz your not giving us too much to work with coz uve pretty much ruled out every option except a mythical winged beast 🙂

Rule 9 🙂

i was under the impression that any kind of oil/ wd40 would be a bad idea as the carbon can absorb it and swell….. wonders if thats bull…..
