In my first reply I was adding how mine and yours situations aren't that dissimilar. You stated you had a girlfriend (I read that as a 'tie' such as work, or a mortgage) then you mentioned that you've never understood how a girlfriend is a tie, I was just echoing. Then again, I'm not that fussed by carrying on this debate. I know my ties, you know yours. You want to ride, I don't. Done

Just quoting you, hombre I understand what your saying and fully appreciate it. I didn't have to spend time working on the house last night I could've spent that time on the bike or such, I walk to work as its just hassle to get the bike out the garage, carry a change of clothes and change at work, then repeat at the end of the day. I suppose my careers taken place over riding, I want to push myself to the point where I have a reputation to stand on my own. There's not many nights I'm not working till 10-11thou. And the nights off I want to use taking the missus out or working on my own projects. I do still want to ride, don't get me wrong. But when I work late most nights, revolver who I ride with mostly works 4/7 nights it gets difficult to organize.

It's hardly an excuse. If I wanted to ride really bad, then I could but life does get in the way as you grow up. I have a girlfriend who I've just bought a house with therefore a mortgage to payfor, a full time job with a 30 minute commute each way, I build cabinets and paint various items for people afterhours. If I went riding last night, my customer wouldn't have recieved his items this morning, I wouldn't have been paid for the work and I wouldn't have gotten any further with my kitchen ceiling. If I wanted to go I could have, but as I said life gets in the way and priorities change.

It's an age thing to be fair. Once driving, work and lasses get in the way riding becomes a memory. Think the last time I rode was about 4 months ago but still come on here for the lols ect. Don't give up on the bike, just keep hold of it for the day's youfeel like a pedal.

Yeah there the ones Danny, aldi did them about a year ago. Loads cheaper and not Clarke but the same thing. Gonna keep my eyes pealed for more. Dunc, have you put anything new on? If it's sketchy on a cylinder I'd either recommend points/condenser, dizzy cap or leads and plugs. It could possibly be head gasket related but I'd doubt it.

There brilliant. I always just used to cadge carpet offcuts from the shop up the road and replace when they got to covered in mig splatter but these tiles are a different league when it comes to winter. I used to use a proper gas blow heater in the garage but now I only need a small electric fire to keep warm. Good luck getting insured on a caddy as your first car

Not tiled asin proper solid floor tiles, just those foam working tiles that are like a jigsaw piece. We had them in the garage at home and it's a much nicer space to work in with them,keeps the chill off abit too in winter not working on concrete.

Need to empty my garage, tile the floor then put the mini in and I'm onto finishing it hopefully! Can't wait to drive it again, it's been too long.

it's a bad topic but 'wi to lo' is utter genius!

Ripping the old ceiling down in my kitchen to put fresh board up, was all going well, next door asks how its going 'yeah it's going great'. As soon as I said that these last few bits of coving have been a right twat. Plus I was crouched on the worktop earlier, didn't realise I'd flicked a hob ring on with my feet, then melted the toe on my shoe! The room stinks now!

It's just gone 5.30 on a hot Friday. Love the weekend feeling.

So hot

Nick, wtf is that wing

Yeah I use mine for everything. All mine is really is some old worktop with a few countrrsunk holes to accommodate the router. Lovely bit of kit!

My Makita 3612 router and table, I've built absolutly everything with those. Then the same as Paul, Makita lxt drill, it's indestructible!

Sat in the sun on my garden with a few tinnies with good company. Happy chappy

That looks gorgeous Alex,the first picture you put up the wheels looked huuuuuuuuge!!!

If you spray from about 40 or more cm away its not quite so bad, it just colours up cus there's no proper build of paint on. You do have to watch out for streaks thou where it's not covered quite so well, no one likes a streaker.

Satin black aerosols Paul

No offence (love it when people write that) but you sound like a f**king idiot. If you need your licence for work, commuting and to generally survive living in the middle of nowhere you should look after it a lot more then you do. Weren't it only a month or so ago you thought you'd been caught doing 100+?

I noticed the camber on the front was abit excessive on a few cars, I liked this week's race, best one there's been in a while!! Loved the crowd cheers at vettel

It's a birch when that happens. My Lamborghini looked ducking stupid in grey.

Finally got our settees, I've finished up painting a few bits of furniture for our living room, it's 99% finished now. Soo chuffed.

Had abit of a weird belly ache all day, just let off the most rewarding fart and I feel fresh as a daisy now!

Lol, my modded mini running 100bhp with full cage was only 200 when I was 21
