  1. Look on the bright side. You'll probably buy something considerably considerably better.
  2. If you need some vaseline, drop Marc_P a PM (ref Rhianna ticket thread). He's just been outed by the membership.
  3. Yeah recovering from oink squeel piggy flu and waiting for a new shed to arrive from Santa.
  4. When it thaws and then refreezes tonight, you will find it nigh on impossible to open the doors.
  5. Well a verbal contract is legally binding but you have to go to court to prove it. So not worth it. And then you need to define what damages have you suffered? You haven't really because you never had the car to start with so technically you didn't lose anything. Put it down to experience.
  6. Having once lost the back end on a roundabout in the snow and headbutting the armco barrier, trust me it's not the mechanical and financial pain you suffer but also the humiliating embarrassment of having to drive a courtesy Micra with Nationwide Accident Repair slapped all over it. [sAD][/sAD][sHOCK][/sHOCK]
  7. Do yourself and the Bank of Mum and Dad a favour. Stick to the Corsa. As soon as you buy a Supe, your p3nis will shrink to compensate. [sHOCK][/sHOCK]
  8. Let me get this right. You bought a £5K Supe before you enquired about the insurance premium? And you earn £26K? And you got a fast track degree in IT? And all by the time you're 18? mmmmhhhh:confused:[sHOCK][/sHOCK]
  9. I'm waiting to see your next thread - "Killed my Supe while driving in snow."
  10. Yeah great idea. 10p each plus £25 p&p.
  11. Oh yeah I also meant to say, try Norgren Martonair, SMC Pneuamtics, GAST, Legris websites. These are just pence. We've got zillions of these in our development lab.
  12. 1/8 NPT is such a small thread size, it's quite common to use 1/4" BSPT. Infact it's common engineering practice to screw in a male tape into a female parallel. Not many people know this.
  13. You could plug in a multimeter but easiest is to note the kWhr used on your domestic lecky meter over say 1/2 hr. Make sure everything else is switched off. Simples!
  14. Do you drive your Supe 24/7 on full throttle and it giving you 10 mpg and budgeting for that? Or getting the worst insurance quote and not bothering with a cheaper deal because it's the most you're likely to pay? Nope I doubt it.
  15. Whoah. Not necessarily so. That would be it's max power rating and not the power it would use. A dehumidifier's work load would depend on the ambient temperature and the amount of water in the air. These wouldn't be constants and would actually vary during the day and the weather conditions.
  16. The easy way would be to measure the current drawn by the fan motor and the pump then work out the power used over the 6 hrs you intend to operate it. Or just have a peep at the lecky meter when it's on.
  17. It's the best time for a bust up. About 5 of my mates got divorced over some domestic that started around Crimbo. Conversely I seem to get off with more girlies around the seasonal fester-tivities.
  18. Well what did you expect! It's a main dealer.
  19. At last women who can accommodate my large personality.
  20. Summer holiday would be better when the schools break up in July. I can't muster up any sympathy when I've seen so many people lose their jobs in the manufacturing sector. Frankly I can't scrape up an atom of sympathy for those loaded enough to afford to fly out to the Maldives for Xmas too. Don't you know there's a recession going on. Bah humbug!!!
  21. Now now. The kid does have talent but sadly Crimbo should be all about Mr Blobby and Sir Cliff.
  22. Whatever you do don't buy chappatti powder at the same time or you may get a knock on the door from teh anti-terrorist squad.

    2 Wheel Fun.

    Only problem with track days is the yawning gap between the good, bad and down right dangerous. My mate got tee boned going into a corner by the guy following who was too target fixated to do anything except ram him. Bike written off, leathers and helmet wrecked and me having to drive across to Donnington to pick him up.
