    I'm the same Paul, sometimes I have more fun making tools, solutions or templates then I do actually doing the job. Yesterday I spent the whole day making laminate templates for a machine I'm restoring, there's some horrendous shapes going on there but enjoyed that far more then actually doing the machine
  2. Can we have a bin/recycling gripes thread?
  3. We did have that.. Now they have given us a blue bin for glass, so now we have 4 bins and we got to keep the box! If I remember rightly it was 'ours to do whatever we liked with!' Generosity is off the chain.
  4. I dropped a glass bottle in the recycling bin once by mistake and they refused the lot! Had a full bin for a month nearly...
  5. 20th October. Be there or * be square... * Or don't, depends if life gets in the way...
  6. I'll say yes, but I know I won't show up..
  7. Push back to October.. should be ok... ... ...... ......... ............. ............... Should be
  8. 100% don't turn up at my house I'm gonna have to bail on this I'm afraid guys, got a last minute suit fitting on Saturday, which has moved a load of jobs over to Sunday for me. Plus the Fairlane is still sat broken. Upshot is my awesome suspension gear is finally ready to ship so will be with me in 6 or so weeks. Unsure wether to fix the fairlane now, or wait and do all the susp gear at the same time... Eitherway sorry to bail guys and hope you all enjoy!
  9. To be honest 35 quid a piece is cheap in comparison to chroming them. Personally I'd just get a silver aerosol and spray the lot. Chrome on plastic is a weird art form, I've not found anyone to do it yet, and all the chrome aerosols I've ever tried are awful. Wilkos cheap cheerful was the best, but even then it wasn't great...
  10. Can do if you want... my drives pretty long and plenty of street parking. Pub 100 yards up the road too..
  11. I doubt I'll have time to fix the headgasket on the fairlane in time, but if others fancy it I'll come in the Van haha
  12. I'll unleash 3.25 inches of fury on there bumholes.
  13. Anyone got any good security ideas? Whilst I was out yesterday apparently a white van drove past my house yesterday 4 or so times, then when they parked on the 5th pass my neighbour caught them snooping round the car. Thinking of an anchor point on the drive and chain the rear axle down or something...
  14. I usually drive on 2 ramps then axle stands. Seems the safest to me!
  15. I rode my buddy's carbon Bronson the other week and reaaaally couldn't tell a difference to my Five, obviously the geo felt funny for 5 mins but after that I wasn't blown away. It probably slots up hill easier but I thought it flexed the same and took hits the same. Couldn't really see the upshot and the extra 2k it cost him or whatever.
  16. MustangManiac - FelPro headgaskets priced individually at £48+VAT.. RockAuto - Full FelPro headgasket and top end gasket kit -£45 plus shipping.. Why do these specialists go for such dick prices? I'm sure it's so when they have your car in for repair they have you by the balls for a 50 quid gasket..
  17. What a day! Blow out on the A38 this morning at 70mph in the Fairlane, threw me into the next lane! Luckily no traffic around so managed to get it parked up and called recovery... New tyre fitted and off to Matlock we went as it killed out plans. On the way home the left bank head gasket has let go! Mother f**ker! It's parked now for the foreseeable, haven't got the time to sort the issues so it'll have to wait..
  18. K I think, but I'm not certain.
  19. Buying records pisses me right off. Buying the best records I can justify and there descriptions are f**k all like the actual item. I've sent 2 back now and getting bored of not receiving what I've ordered really!
  20. Greatest advert I've ever seen..
