  1. Before I launch into this and thoroughly make a mess I just thought I'd ask, it makes sence in my head but not sure if it's possible. I bought a Linx Windows tablet to use for my business, I need to install a program onto there for paint mixing. The program is on disc and obviously the tablet doesn't have a CD drive. If I connect my the tablet to a laptop via usb, and install the program to the relevant location (F: or E: or whatever it is) will the program run or will I fail? I did consider copy and pasting the files from the laptops program file onto a memory stick then copy and paste onto the tablet, but pretty certain that doesn't work?
  2. Motown Sunday afternoon over here so it's The Temptations - My Girl
  3. I wouldnt Stress about it. My missus is deputy/assistant manager at her place and she gets all the stress/bullshit but a smidge of the managers wage. Really not worth it.
  4. Was looking forward to getting the bike out for the first time in months today but it's absolutely hammering it down. Booo.
  5. When you know a cars going sideways you look at the picture different somehow. Does look too normal to be skidding though
  6. That's perfect Andy, thanks. Jizzle it's been 4 weeks. Maybe I'll tell him to just cool it but after reading that from Andy I'm quite relieved.
  7. That's exactly how I was looking at it. I'm going to call the shipping centre later and get a progress update on it but in my opinion I've done exactly what was asked of me.
  8. So I sold a bass guitar to a guy abroad. I specifically put will only ship to UK but eBay launched that global buyer shit. The guy bought it and paid before it had chance to do anything so I decided to how ahead with it. He gave me a shipping address for one of these international shipping offices with a reference number for it to carry on from there. I shipped via TNT next day, it arrived with the shipping centre all was well. I've received a message via eBay from the buyer telling me he hasn't received the bass and wants me to chase the shipping centre up. This is where my issue lies, is this now my problem? I shipped to the address he gave, it arrived next day so my end of the transaction was kept? I know in the UK the seller owns and accepts liability until the buyer receives but I shipped the address provided without problem, from then on it's between him and the shipping company? From what I've read it seems a grey area but probably lies with me to chase it up.
  9. You've made a good job of that Greg, I don't envy you flatting filler down inside a circle, that's a bitch of a job. You might want to add a bead of silicone sealer/tiger seal type stuff around the edge to stop/hide any cracks if it moves at all.
  10. New wheels on the bus till I find exactly what I want.. VW donington rims with brand new 235/45/17 potenzas on. Couldn't resist them at the dollar they wanted.
  11. I made Jenny watch Rocky 1-4 a few months ago, disgusted that she hadn't seen them. Didn't bother with 5, it's bullshit.
  12. Jenny's dad told me the other night he hasn't watched any of the star wars films, not even phantom menace. This infuriated me.
  13. I could take Miata, and Eunos, but Mike just went full retard
  14. Weekend well spent, finished off all the silent coat deadening, all panels have been coated with an inch overlap. Then hit the whole van with 3mm foam insulation to keep the warmth when camping. Made a huge difference to panel resonating too, really worthwhile. Next up was the carpet.. Ply board to go down tomorrow with a covering as well as the 'headliner'. I've got to cover panel boards too which will finish it off nicely.
  15. Caddy is completely coated in silent coat, 1 full coat on 3mm insulation throughout with 2 coats on the floor. Carpet tomorrow ready for its maiden voyage Monday.
  16. In van news.. Silent coat on the first wheel arch and window recess just around the arch on the floor to, trying to kill as much road noise as I can. 2 sheets on the window recess to finished off with roof flashing to finish the panel off. Rockwool crammed into the quarters too which has done an amazing job of killing noise/resonance, shame I didn't research it properly first to discover how absorbent it is. Gonna pull it all back out an try without it for the time being, worst case scenario is I pull the 2 wheel arch trims off and cram something else in there. Only 81 sheets of silent coat to go! Then it's onto the 3mm acoustic underlay then 4mm carpet to finish. Probably have to remap it after all this to even get it to roll
  17. All 6ft4 of me fckin loves 650b.
  18. I'm currently putting this back on the road... It's cat D. My advise would be whatever you budget add £500 or so on top. Body shop bill was pretty reasonable, but mechanical parts I didn't expect at all have added up. Ridiculous things like ABS sensors and brake hoses are all little 10/20 quids but they soon add up to 3/400 if your not careful. The actual build though has been mad fun, I'm currently lining the back In silent coat deadening and carpet ready to use as a small day van to slip away with the bike etc.
  19. The codeine was released like 2 weeks after I bought my orange, I was gutted. I love my five so much, but those codeine a look awesome, especially the twenny seveun an arrrfs.
  20. My issue was the fact it took .2 of a second to take my money, then 5 days to put it back. EBay are just a joke full stop.
  21. I recentley had similar issues, ebay buyer kicked up a fuss about something I had sold, PayPal took the money back (close to 800 squidlies). Took eBay 2 weeks to resolve the non existent issue that this guy had come up with and PayPal took 5 days to reissue my money. They're an absolute joke and its the last time I'll sell through eBay.
  22. All was going so well today, whole interior pulled out minus the dashboard, airbag swapped, all plastics washed and dressed, floor washed and carpet wet vacced. All was well till I realised TPS have sent me 2 passenger seatbelts! f**king knobs!
  23. Who the f**k does that?!
  24. its home! There's a few tiny niggles I'm a bit unhappy with but on the whole I'm really pleased with it! Now to sound deaden it, rubber mat/carpet the back, add my coilovers and wheels then enjoy it!
