  1. yeah your right, it cant of been A1 condition...we tried to get my money back by reporting them to trading standars (selling unworthy cars or somthing)....but that fell though. I am gonna keep looking for engines...I was told by a friend that over £150 would be very exspensive for one, but even the cheapest one is over twice that! god I hate cars!!
  2. allo Heres the story........ Last feb I passed my driving test. A couple of weeks later I bought myself a Daihatsu Hijet MPV like this one I payed £1500 for it as it was in A1 condition and had cheap insurence...I drove it around for 2 days and then left it for another two. I did less than 200 miles. On the 6th day of owning it I then drove it and a couple of friends to north wales for the indoor comp in march. We got most of the way there and the dam thing fluncked out, luckily we managed to get a tow home. My garage said the headgasket had gone and the block? had warped, new engine was best bet. Its now nearly been a year and its still just sat there with the engine in the boot. I have (well, my mum) rang a couple of scrap yards across the country and a couple have engines to fit...but the cheapest one is £300 not including delivery, VAT or fitting. Is it still worth paying that much to get it running? If I did get an engine for it, I coupd possibly sell the whole car for near to what I bought it for and get somthing different. Or I could sell it for parts. What are your views?
  3. not too bothered that it looks pink in the pics...but if people come up to and ask me what I have done with the pink parts it will save time if they know its more red in the flesh. and I cant get over how nice the dam thing rides!!
  4. its a lot less pink in the flesh though
  5. cleaning a really tough section with a couple of seconds left on the clock and being exhausted!
  6. bikes more or less finnished...might as well show some pics....shame they are pretty crappy pics though. I dont remember taking so many photos of the front wheel anyway, this thing rides like a DREAM!!! best riding bike ever!

    http://www.frappr.com/riddenrl I invite you to subscribe to the map, but PLEASE respect the following rules: There must be the following information in your "shoutout" in order not to be deleted from the map: Required: Complete Name What kind(s) of riding you do (ex. Street, Trials, DH, Bmx, XC, FreeRide etc) E-Mail Address Optional: Phone Number Personal website There must be a shoutout with the required information, nothing more, nothing less. Don't write anything else in your shoutout. -- The main purpose of this map is to unite riders from all around the world so that they can check who rides what and where, and then contact the person to ride with him or her. This map isn't a forum, it is used strictly for informational purposes. Please follow the rules and you won't be deleted. Thanks! -- ******************************** CORRECT FORM EXAMPLE: Elliott Verreault BikeTrials, FlatlandBmx. (...)@hotmail.com www.RiddenClothing.com ******************************** -- The website doesn't take postal codes outside of the US. So click on " Not in the US?" (which is most likely because it's the TrialsUK forums) and write your city in the appropriate place. Later on, you'll be able to go adjust your exact position by going in your profile and modifying your location and clicking on " SAVE MARKER POSITION ". You can include a picture. If you have a pic of you wearing Ridden stuff, it would be awesome! It is the RiddenRiderLocator isn't it? Give this link and explain the procedure to all your biking friends. RiddenRL must become a reference! Where you can contact riders from all over the world for a group ride or just a chat! That's why I ask you to respect the rules. That way it will be much easier to contact a rider than if the info is scattered all over the place. Thanks a lot! Elliott Verreault @ www.RiddenClothing.com
  20. I have the new urban ledgends sitting right here on my lap.....they are nice and shiney
  21. I had a 110mm x 10 degree hope stem on mine, it was one of the best riding bikes ever....though I recken a bigh higher bars would have made it more fun (ps, hope you like the bars Tom )
  22. some people will tell you they ride nice, but to me they are the worst riding frame I have ever had the misfortune of riding on!
  23. lots of money to be a guinepig anyway, as fat mike was saying, my coust pads should work on any rim really, so I could just get a normal erveryday alex or somthing.
