  1. Check out decathlon dunc. My misses bought a rock rider 5 with dual avid juicys, rocshocs, SRAM x9 drive train, Deore cranks an a few other goodies for sub 500. I now it's more thenonly are wanting to spend but they have some cracking bikes for the money.
  2. Yeah, very sneaky that..
  3. Ha, cheers robin, dunno why I put august. Paul, got a full car already unfortunatly mate, if someone drops out thou I'll let you know.
  4. Actually, any good campsites near combe? Anybody else fancy a day at combe/evening BBQ an alcohol??
  5. Looks good dunc, good to see younger people taking to actual panel fitting an repairwork rather then just bolt on bolt off stuff. Combes the 29th august. Fancy a drive down together?
  6. Who's going to combe then?? Bet that filter makes a racket doesn't it Danny?
  7. Nah, plenty running 1380 turbos successfully. My 1293 has pretty thick borewalls.
  8. Hope Bennys engine serves you well .
  9. I'm diggin' it. Axs have always been cool.
  10. Only thing I've read about cheap air kits it the life span. The bags don't seem to last. Personally I'm gonna build up my own kit, pick of tank an compressors, management, an bags etc. Dan, I thought about the problem of it being a daily, I think I'm gonna do the boot install, run the lines, wire the management in an get it all working, then just grrr it on a lift an swap the struts. Think that'd be the best way for s daily....
  11. Yeah, looked soo good. My passat is getting ready for bags....
  12. I love the fact its an s-line. f**king idiot.
  13. Providing its stamped up accordingly there shouldn't be a problem surely?
  14. No worries, looks like it'll hit bikers quite hard too.
  15. http://www.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=46109&start=0 Just have a browse of that robin. Puts a slightly more relaxed tone on it...
  16. Oh no, you missunderstand me robin, I'm not against your points at all, I completely agree an understand where your coming from. It's definitely not a good time for the car scene if anything comes of this. My dads a self employed owner of an autofactors, all he supplies is panels, paints an materials. On the counter, probably 1in3/4 customers is buying materials for his 'drift car' or weekend toy. If this is passed that could result in my dad loosing a third or so of his passing trade as it'll be harder to own these cars an people will loose interest, not good.
  17. Probably google but I honestly can't remember..
  18. Hmm, I had thought about this, but then it sprung to my mind that 90% of these incredible euro vws an audis come out of Germany etc. Plus, if this is on the road I think there's hope for all of us...
  19. The few points you mentioned Robin make me think it'll be incredibly difficult for them to enforce/pass. Think of the size of the modified car scene, if that didnt exist think of the millions of pounds a year that wouldn't be put into the industry. Imagine the scale of job loss as JOM an fk didn't sell x amount of coilovers a year. As daft as it sounds it goes all the way down to the hundreds of car magazines that would fail due to the lack of advertising, lack of articles and only 'illegal' cars to feature. It'll be an incredibly sad day if it ever does come not force as I personally think the uk has a car scene to rival any, which'll become nothing. It's the same as the iva/sva swap they performed a few years ago swapping to the 8 point bullshit. I still know of and can find plenty of examples of cars passing mot's that really shouldn't have (take Nicks mini for example. Hell, even mine!), common sence an mot tester discretion comes into play when they bring this crap in. Most of the time it prevails too fortunately. Edit - they better not bring it in, otherwise the conversations I've had with plush automotive an the compressors/airtank I'm about to buy are worthless!!
  20. You should come an ride Nottingham dunc, be good to see thee again.
  21. That mk5 golf on air a friend of yours Bucky? Saw it on the show an shine Sunday an followed it home some of the way. Reaaally liked that. Shame it pissed it down all Sunday thou. My passat an dads camper ended up on the understated clubstand Sunday. Parked up in the carpark an 2 lads approached an asked if I wanted to put it on there stand, blagged dad a pass to which was cool.
