Hey, tomorrow I am going on a staff day out go karting. Basically everyone is a lot older than me and most of them can drive. Theres quite a bit of competition between people and im afraid im going to be really crap as I havent been in years. Should I try and take racing lines etc? My main 'problem' is corners Never know how fast/slow to take them! Thanks, Dave

99% of the time, stuff wont appear on ebay. Criminals have no time for it and its far to risky. Most of it will be sold in the street/pub. A lot of it will just be dumped and some bits might end up in cash convertors.

Yeah I remember a thing they did on Blue peter :$ where they left some really expenxive chop sticks on a wall and they were still there at the end of the day

We still have an Aldi (Medion) pc from a few years ago and its sweet...but yeh get there early cos they do sell out on the day their released!

Hey, ive been 18 for a while now and everyone seems to be driving already but Ive put it off a bit (Mainly due to cost!) Im quite intrested in Beetles. Im just wondering if anyone has one/had one and what the insurance was like? Are they tax exempt? P.S Im talking about old style Beetles not new ones Dave

While were on the subject, is there any way to get xbox live for free? Is there another service available or something? Also Im guessing its a crossover cable I need?

I got mine yesterday Best Bargain in a long time!!

Ok, so ive just realised how soon christmas actually is and I need to start thinking of presents for people (Mainly my gf) Ive usually got some really good ideas but im struggling at the moment...

They are really good for the price but they are heavy. If you can put up with the weight then there brilliant.

CERN Is a project which has been going on for years. It basically involves looking at particles and particle acceleraters..thats what the massive pipe is for.

Hey, does anyone know the offset of echo urban forks? Thanks, Dave

Thanks mike!!

Bump!! I dont have any calipers to measure my HD axle accurately

Im also after the outer diameter of the Heavy duty axle ends? (The part which sits against your dropout)

Hey just a quick one, is the diameter of chris king fun bolts 12mm? Thanks, Dave

Hey, Im not riding so much these days and im finding when I am out riding im getting quite a bad pain in my lower back. Ive had it since I started riding my pitbull. Ive currently got a zoo stem which has no rise (I dont think) Is anyone using a higher stem, if so which? And have you noticed any big differences? Thanks, Dave

Hey, thanks for the replies.I use power dirctor 3 to do my editing but im not sure how to capture the footage in DV? I can only see options for MPEG1/2 or AVI..Of course, it may not support it? Never really got to grips with premiere, I only really need to be able to cut and trim clips which power director does really well. Thanks, Dave

Thats amazing!! I thought some of the moves he was doing were only invented recently (hooks etc) Considering that 15 years old its really amazing.Im probably still not as good as him now!

Thanks beau, anyone else?

Hey, ive just fixed a Mini DV camcorder I picked up really cheap off ebay. Its a good quality one but as Ive never used DV before, which compression format do you recommend? Obviously I dont want it taking up loads of space but I want something with good quality. MPEG2? Dave

As mentioned above leverage really is the key to this. A scaffold/gas pipe is ideal

Thanks for your help This may sound stupid but when ive tried making the model as one, I cant seem to merge the tubes at angles The way im doing it is say creating the BB shell on the right plane then selecting top plane for the seat tube but then when I want to attach the seatstays I dont know how to get them going at an angle? Thanks, Dave

Hey, ive done a search but can't seem to find opinions on the new 07 26" Echo Rims? Ive been running an old try-all rim for about 2 years and its still true but Im looking for a new rim. Are they better then the 06 ones, spec wise they look it. Thanks, Dave

People who say things like "its not harmfull, we all die eventually" etc really annoy me. To be honest I dont care what people do to themselves but all drugs cause massive problems in respect to crime. You may be perfectly safe taking drugs and think its not affecting anyone else but it is. Smuggling drugs into the country causes lots of problems and is costing tax payers millions. It leads to theft, murders, fraud..You name it, drugs cause all of these problems..

Hey, Im really after someone who knows a lot about solidworks (2004). I have designed a frame in bikecad but I would really like to model it in solidworks (for several reasons) Basically I am having trouble where to start? Should I make each tube seperate and put it into an assembly? Also how would I mitre each tube and add welds? (Welds dont need to be accurate, mainly to represent) Thanks, Dave
