yeh i think it's ok, i've seen a lot worse on tv put it that way. loads of inconsitencies though, like that aussie farmers truck was red, but when she was pulling him outta it it was white :) and that little black kid was asleep next to his dad facing away, then when it cut close he was facing towards him :) interested to see who that dude in the suite with the white trainers is though :P spoookay :)

i ain't watched but is this the dude in green shorts that is on "stevo don't try this at home" where he asked people if they wanna ride his skateboard and then kicks it so they fall off? then later on he rides on some people cars and one dude confronts him? If so, on 'Steveo don't try this at home' they cut it off just before it gets violent.

just to give you some idea, i have a 1.2 clio on an L plate (1994). Its a small girly car, that can barley climb over the moors. The car itself was £600 (a bit overpriced but i knew its full history) annnyway, my insurance was £1400. And there was NO WAY of getting any cheaper unless i had a sex change. So basically, keep you first car small, and cheap don't go for any more than a 1.4 (cos even thats gonna be a stretch). and on your budget, the cheaper the better. I would say try and spend less than £700 on the car itself (depending on condition), also, choose a few cars you like, and get practise quotes on them, before you buy. becasue for example, a 1.2 Micra is probably less to insure than a 1.2 clio, and a 1.4 Fiesta might be more again. So summary: Select a few cars that fit the bill (Fiesta, Micra, Clio, Saxo, Corsa) Shop around for practise quotes (expect to be betweeen £1000 - £2000) I recommend Tesco and Direct Line as they were cheapest for me. Decide on a price range and get shopping (Autotrader, local garages, ebay etc) Once you find a decent car, go check it out (all the usual stuff on an old car - Brakes, does it start? oil leaks, does it have an fairly long MOT, rust) Shop around is the main tip, for both car and insurance. You might find a car you think is great, but you might also be blinded by the excitment of owning your first car, so take a few deep breaths and try and find something a bit better. :P

LMAO! ....judging by Hiroshima, i wouldn't bet on it. *scared* :P

i can't feel my arms, and i think my helmet has melted :) then i burnt my hands trying to drive back :) good ride though, the lads on the roadtrip from the south seems like nice guys, had to come back early though cos the heat exhaustion kept making me hurt my self. :P You missed most of the riders JT, about 3 more little groups showed up, :)

shame the SLR is a McLaren. :P and i stick by my word, Mercs are shite cars, very very poor value for money. Audi's are where it's at nowadays. And as for porsches, GT2 or nothing. :) Anyway, Cossie for the win every time, welcome to heaven ladies:

yeh mr. ali c did it as-well: think he just welded two together and laced them up using alternate holes. Don't think he still uses it though but not sure why. sure he'll post soon enough anyway. :-

Everyone knows mercs are shit nowadays.

yeh, but i'm sure prod lane is a dead end. if you ride from the station, you ride up a footpath and it comes out on prod lane i think. when i drive in, it's over the moors then turn onto 'glen road', which if you follow all the way along ends up becoming prod lane. if you can get onto West Lane, follow that (east?) until you get to glen road, then the glen is right in front of you. i ain't too good at geography though so someone should probably confirm that.

you getting the train to saltaire station?

i'm liking the glen at the minute, need to improve my natural skills, might drive up sometime around 12 - 1, see how my backs feeling. :sleeping:

how long has it been riden for? have you had it from new?

loving the kid at 7 minutes... "WHOA!"............"WHOOOA!" hahaha, quality. :sleeping:

Ok, your choice, but your gonna be very hard pushed to find anything decent for free. People don't just code software for the fun of it anymore. Nero is a mint peice of software, and for £4, its practically free anyway. As-for Anti-Virus software, i use 'eTrust EZ Antivirus' along with 'eTrust EZ Firewall' It's not entirely free, just 1 year free trial, but i seemed to have had mine ages and not paid a penny. Its good as-well, never have any problems with my PC. :sleeping:

CLICK HERE 20 mins left on that badboy. Nero imo is the best burning software, and for £4. you can't go wrong :sleeping:

yeh think so, i have two, one with the volcano, and the one thats flat. both same model, same size, same everything, just ones zero rise and one isn't.

haha fair enough, those stats are pretty similar :sleeping:" and yeh looking at the pictures they do look much identical, only difference is i have the flat zerostack cap where as you have the volcano shaped one.

you sure? i always thought the t-master stem was mondo high? *goes to check some pictures*

yeh good video, local spots for me too which makes it nice to watch. sketchy ain't a bad thing, adds chracter you could say :- :sleeping: enjoyed it alot, keep it up. (Y)

echo is about middle distance and imo perfect. bang one of them on with some zoo bars and you're away. *thumbsup*

Cheers guys for the nice comments, good to feel a bit of love on the forum :o" (Y) Big thanks to carl (calops) for most of the pictures :- And yeh, it was nice weather, sunny but with a breeze, even had a few clapping spectators at times, must be cos of the worlds or something. Always up for a glen ride cos it only takes us ten mins to get there. :sleeping: keep em coming :-
