I'm so happy I've just gotta share my news.....My 18 yo Daughter has just won an engineering apprentiship with the RAF museum at Cosford, she is one of two selected out of nearly 80 applicants...boy am I....... PROUD!!!

Would this do the speed control okay Bud ? MLCS 9410 20-Amp Heavy Duty Router Speed Control Abit not sure of the 120v bit of description.

Has anyone got one or tried one before? Just i'm commuting 25 miles a day each way to work and weighing up if there's any way i can save any more money. I'm spending about £50 a week going to and from work so potentially a £200 a month save if i invested in a bike. I used to be able to cycle 35 miles a day without trouble but i think 50 might just be a bit too much for a fat old man like myself :rofl: I've been looking at the conversion kits and reading the word of mouth from a few people that run this guy's bikes and the feedback is good. Add to that the range is 25-40 miles and i can charge the battery up under my desk during the day and it soun…

Just for fun, where else have you seen your initials? and add to peoples lists if you think of any more! I'm talking companies or well known abbreviations not a few words you've chucked together :sneaky2: I'll start - BK Burger King BK Racing

i think they have a winner, this was a recording of a show to find the worst driver in holland and i reckon their is no worst, especially as he nearly killed the host, and destroyed 2 cars could have been a lot worse but im still PMSL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXjTDZwU8b0&feature=player_embedded [YOUTUBE]uXjTDZwU8b0[/YOUTUBE]

This may, even go a long way or crash and burn.... but lets give it a try i was talking to a workmate today, and he asked me a question. If you could have a conversation with 3 people whether living or dead, who would it be, and why?? 1. David Attenborough. He must have seen amazing stuff and be able to totally blow you away with knowledge. 2. Richard Branson. He is seriously cool, and has a great way of looking at the world. 3. Prof Stephen Hawking. This guy is on a whole different level. He could talk about stuff that will either confuse you or think more about things. Thats my starter, anyone else want to join in. Stu

hey guys, i was wondering if anyone in the know, could tell me where my friend stands in relation to the law, the man he knocked down was ok, just a grazed elbow and a couple of scrapes (i gave him a lift home with his bike in the boot) bike had a tiny bit of damage too. heres what happened....... i pulled out of a junction on the industrial estate in front of a bloke on a pushbike, then my friend followed in the van, but didnt see the bloke on the bike. he didnt quite hit him, more sort of that the bloke saw him pull out, went to swerve round him and went accross his bonnet and landed on the floor. no police or ambulance were called as the fella seemed ok, and …

just enough to pay off my mortgage if anyone win's please

does anyone know of anywhere that can do this in north wales/ northwest area. The place i used RSE motorsport has closed down :(

Very sad we lost a cat the other day in a road accident. We still have 3 and now very reluctant to let them out. Just Googling came across cat fences manual and electric ie like these Fence type or electric type http://www.easyanimal.co.uk/petsafe-smart-cat-fence-pcf-1000-20.html?gclid=CJLPu97X6akCFYUY4Qod2252Wg anyone ever done this or know someone who has? The electric one would be easy to install but not sold on if it would work and the fence type I like but would be a PITA to install plus secure every possible hole and would run into quite a few £££'s as quite a large rear garden.

Don't touch the pointy end on a soldering iron, it never turns out good :crying:

If buying a car that was a CAT D what should i be asking for or looking out for chaps? It was front end body damage i believe. cheers smithy

Decided to dig the old smoker out yesterday and smoke some Ribs, Brisket, Lamb and Pork. The Brisket came out so damn well. The pink edging on the meat is caused by the smoke, awesome flavour! Makes me hungry thinking about it lol

Thought I'd post this in the non z related obviously.... Gone to the dark (diesel) side.... Picked it up today - love it for refinements, comfort and style - does lack the power of the zed tho but 50mpg and tax of £110 per year....

I have got a little bored as I can't do much to the Zed until it comes off the road :sad: I could start the engine if I had the cash but need to wait a bit before sending it to Jimmer So I have picked up a new cheap toy to start on, the plan is to sell enough bits I don't need to cover the purchase price and I'm nearly there. Then there will be alot of time consuming fabrication to do which should keep me occupied.

As per title... :) I have been looking for deals but they are all quite pricey!! I am going to Lanzarote in a few weeks and thought I would try my luck here to see if anyone can get me a good deal! Worth a try before I book with http://www.go compare and rip everyone off .com :lol: Thanks

Gorgeous.....

Get re-subbed you tight arse. It's just wrong you being only reg'd :winkiss:

I'm just sat here surfing t'interweb trying to find (to no avail) a wiring diagram for my Toyota Granvia (everything on the van is in Japanese) and in the background I've got 'A Car is Reborn' on TV. Mark (the host) is rebuilding an E type Jag, which after taking the shell back to bare metal, showed a lot of pretty bad repair work that had been carried out over the years. Well he's just taken it to a classic car body repair specialist who's used a process called 'Lead Loading' to repair parts of the damaged shell. Very expensive and time consuming, but by the looks of the end result it's well worth the effort. It just got me thinking about how car e…

Ive got this new Halfords MOT station opened up a few minutes from me, its all kitted out nice compared to my usual which does look a dive. Anyway Halfords offer half price MOT which the chap their said was an ongoing deal. So I took my dads Bentley in as he does not drive it much (200 miles since last MOT) and they failed it on play in the front nearside wheel and having a chat with their mechanic he condemned it saying the car was extremely dangerous. At that point I was expecting my dad to have a heart attack. Halfords of course said they would not work on the car and we then booked it in at a Bentley dealer. Three days at Bentley dealer, car i…
