Got in touch out of the blue, and before I knew it he was driving off with my pride and joy.

In all seriousness, very fair and easy to deal with, no probs at all. I wish Greg all the best in his new project and look forward to seeing it unfold

The future may very well be horse and cart after the implosion of civilisation due to overpopulation, but that's another debate

Roboscot

I can see the point in electric vehicles in cities but they will never be the future of motoring unless/until there's a massive breakthrough in battery technology. Even if this did happen tomorrow it would be too expensive for joe public, and even if it wasn't and everyone went out and bought an ele...

Good point though

One balances out the other

I would defo have a Smart if i needed a local runaround. A few years ago i bought a fiat cinquecento for £300 for just this purpose so I clearly don't care about image :lol: Most of the human race are sheep and conform to what is expected of them when it comes to what they own and are seen with by o...

I think it's fair enough to blame the bankers for a lot of it :lol: And the government for allowing their actions. What's this obsession with constant "growth" in this imaginary "global race" we keep hearing about :? Boom/crash/boom/crash/boom... How about stability? There's a no...

Don't forget the income tax threshold is going up to £10k That's going to make a real difference to lower paid workers. I didn't see NuLabour doing any50p rate thing like that in their 12 years in power... My sarcasm radar is struggling with this one :lol: :sorry: This is where the imbalance is - l...

Political debate on an open internet forum... http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7n9y4VJhc1rvvt9fo1_500.jpg Seriously though... most people would agree that the benefits system needs overhauled but some of the changes the government has made just leave you shaking your head in disbelief. It seems in...

Hey guys, just remembered this thread. I wanted to come to this but as luck would have it I have to meet someone at Edinburgh airport that day to sell my other car. On the plus side my coupe isn't sold so hopefully I can make it next time (central or eastern would be nice :D ) Have a good one :thumb...

Worryingly i have seen one fitted in a pug 205 which was operated from a button on the dash

Roboscot

Why wait for a gear change to get your whoosh, simply fit an awesome electronic dump valve and at the push of a button you can dump at your leisure while avoiding the running costs of a turbocharged car

Roboscot

I've been having headphone issues too. The set that came with my old ipod maybe 6 years ago are still going and have good sound quality, but the grippy coating that helps hold them in place is coming off so i've been looking for a decent replacement. I bought some cheapish branded ones from amazon o...

My local pub kept all their 500ml empties for me and they just kept on piling up in my garage, i couldn't brew beer and drink it quick enough to use them so just kept a sensible amount.

I have about 150 bottles of homebrew in the garage and another 100 or so empties so that should do me a while.

Roboscot

Good plan, i did that after a couple of batches in plastic. Ended up with too many and binned about 160 glass bottles last week

Roboscot

Got to love that smell

18C or over will be fine, maybe just take a little longer to ferment. The first few I did at 24C were ready in 5 days but at 18 it was nearer 10 days.

Good luck with it

Roboscot

Would like to do another meet myself, I used to be a regular but haven't been along to one for years. Haven't met most of the current crowd, bit of a trek to paisley but i've been further :D I was half expecting to sell the coupe this month but the guy works offshore and I'm not sure when he's due b...

Roboscot

Got my kit today so going to start tomorrow brewing. Tesco kit £31. 1 question is tate and lyle sugar fine to use?? Also and hints and tips will be very appreciated. Normal table sugar will work fine but the brew is much improved by using either brewing sugar or spray malt like this - http://www.eb...

I personally dont see why it being a K plate and a UK car makes it worth less?? Condition is the most important thing to look at Agree with this, when cars get to this age it's all about condition not year. I'd much rather have a 1992 car in excellent condition than a 1996 car in good condition. We...

Roboscot

Everyone's a winner here i'd say. Good price to get for the seller, and for the buyer what looks like a cracking example of a rare and interesting car for the price of an old mondeo

Roboscot

dalelifeguard, i recognise that username, think that was the guy who pm'd me out of the blue offering £2800 for my car when it wasn't even advertised for sale. It reeked of BS from the word go so I didnt take it seriously

Roboscot

This always cracked me up from barryboys

Roboscot

"Mint" or "immaculate" are overused words and seem to mean different things depending on whether you're a buyer or a seller. In reality there are probably very few actually mint coupes around and you'd be lucky to find someone willing to sell one. There are plenty of very good on...

Roboscot

That pint looks good :thumbup: From the kits i've tried i've found that anything made to over 6% is bordering on becoming too strong, the usual 4.5% is just about right for taste. I normally brew slightly short to 20l instead of 23, it leaves a bit more space at the top of my 25l barrel for all the ...

Roboscot

Just seen this, so you finally went for it :D Haven't tried the canadian blonde yet so would be interested to hear how is turns out. I haven't done a brew for a few months but ive got a huge stash in the garage to last me a while, i keep drinking all my favourites though so i'll have to get more on ...

Roboscot

Yep, i've found a place that does 500ml brush on landrover paint for the same price as a 300ml spray can so it would make sense to go that route. If it was a newer, better bike i'd have probably got it blasted and powdercoated but i just wanted something to do really and rescued my old bike from my ...

Roboscot

As title, want to give my old bike a budget paint job and was thinking of going army green. For some reason it's bloody expensive and I can only find it in tiny 150ml cans (or large pots, landrover paint). Anyone ever sprayed a bike frame who can tell me how much it takes/how many cans of colour coa...

Roboscot

I meant the black one but both really

Roboscot

Ooh 7 years old now, looks like its held together by all that black hammerite

Seriously though that is one nice truck

Roboscot

It was a couple of years ago but i used senditnow.com for a coupe bumper from down south somewhere, think it was only £11.99 so maybe a few quid more now.

Roboscot

Sounds nippy. Hopefully you will have full finger function once it heals? I had a comparable incident one morning - suffice to say i was attempting to separate two frozen sausages with a brand new diamond-cut knife. It was totally painless and I didn't even know i'd cut myself until I saw the spots ...

I give alot of it away to mates as there's too much to get through myself :lol: It's actually really interesting when you get into it and there's such a huge range of beers you can try, that ebay shop has alot and the coopers brand is a good place to start. You can tweak them for flavour and/or alco...

Roboscot

cheers for the info mate do you have to drop c02 balls in? and are all bottles caps a standard size i can see me and andy becoming alcoholics ha ha i bet you grab one everyday after work I've used the carbonation drops a few times but no need really, now i either just put a half tespoon of sugar in...

Roboscot

ha ha like that what kit you using? This is the kit I bought to start off, and i get everything from here now. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Complete-Home-Brew-Lager-Beer-Making-Starter-Kit-NEW-/390201946735?pt=Home_Brew&var=&hash=item5ad9d9326f The plastic bottles that come with these starter ...

Roboscot

liking that so what is your pint coming in at me and andy have done a calculation at 58p a pint Well if you just use a basic kit and white sugar you're talking about £13 for 40 pints so in theory 32p/pint. But you can get much better beer by using brew enhancer or malt extract instead of sugar whci...
