Thanks for the replies guys, I will try for a dual scart socket over the weekend, try and keep it simple for the kids (and me with Sega GT). All this technology is a nightmare. Cheeers John Crisp

I have recently bought an X-BOX for my kids, but with them having a PS2 in their bedroom also, is it possible to get a dual scart socket that both PS2/X-BOX can be plugged into so that both are connected to tv at the same time and either can be played without the usual pulling out of the telly to swap scart sockets, plus so I can get my tv downstairs back as the x-box is plugged into it just now. Cheers John Crisp

Delayed reaction here Alan......am always cheered up.....except when my pc goes tits up like it did, so no net for a few days, good to be back online now though. John, is your ZED red as i've started seeing a red j-plate 300 in Paisley and once in Barrhead recently. Cheers John Crisp

Yeah its kinda wild but its the same all over the country, good and bad bits. Cheers John Crisp

Small world or what Jock.....where i stay i look onto Auchenback. Cheers John Crisp

Aye and so is fooking 24 on SKY ONE Cheers John Crisp

I meant the larger holes on the inside of the tailgate...not the ones covered by the spoiler :headvswal

Cheers for that....did u fill the holes on the inside of the tailgate or did u just gromet them. Cheers John Crisp

Anyone have any pics/info on fitting the as above mentioned spoiler to my tailgate. I guess 6mm holes through the outside tailgate skin then maybee larger diameter holes on the inside to access the 4 bolts to secure the spoiler. I was gonna use psychoflex (Psichoflex????spelling) as well. Any help much appreciated. Cheers John Crisp

Honest I am a joiner and I work here........I am fairly sure that 300 is an NA and its going to Jap Parts Scrappies, Helen St, Govan, Glasgow as I was there last weekend and the guy showed me piccies of a black 300 with the high back spoiler. HTH John Crisp

I got new discs/pads for the front of my 300 tt from Brown Brothers locally here in Glasgow but I think they are nationwide as part or Partco.......160 quid with vat. HTH...John Crisp

I bought a set of small circlip pliers from Snap On a few years ago, maybee a bit expensive though for using a single time, they have mobile dealers in vans, phone their main place to get a local dealers phone number, I think I paid about a tenner for the small pair I have. Locally we have a guy selling all different types of tools from a van, surely there must be someone local to you that wont be as expensive as Snap On in the Yellow Pages. HTH John Crisp

:smash: I heard through the grape vine it was a Skoda but my sourse was kinda unreliable :xxx: Cheers John

Cheers Alan...everyone ok apart from a few pairs of underpants owned by me and the lorry driver who was on the pavement at the time of the bump. I think most if not all broken down vehicles should be recovered from the roadside but thats another story as probably most can be repaired within a short time. Alan the driver was a complete dick....he blew up another Scania the same night......no warning lights, no noise.....just BANG....so i have been told he done 40 grands worth of damage that night with the crash and blowing the engine. Cheers John

He actually couldnt say what happened.....he was at the end of his shift and had been driving up and down that street all night, seen the lorry broken down from about 1am......typical spaced steering wheel attendant..... Cheers John Crisp

2 weeks ago while on a call out at 7am in Glasgow quite close to the City Centre, a First Glasgow Scania being driven by a brainless steering wheel attendant ran into the back of the lorry I was trying to start (it was broken down in the bus lane) at about 25 mph while I was standing at the front drivers side with the cab up turning the key. WTF he aint gonna stop......he did after a short skid and BANG........but he was so lucky as if he hit the lorry straight on he was a gonner, just lucky I guess it was early on a sunday morning without much traffic about and at least no one was hurt, even the passengers, they just got off the bus and went to the nearby stop and got on the next bus. Hope the pictures I have posted show how lucky everyone was...but the aim of this post is if anyone breaks down at the roadside........................................................................................... BE FECKIN CAREFUL AT ALL TIMES as there is danger everywhere at the roadside. Cheers John Crisp :smash:

Chris I have used winmx, kazza, also http://www.easynews.com but its http://www.vip-torrents.com for me as I also have a 576 k connection, so far it is by far the best site I have found for downloading music, films, pc games etc. Download the program that runs everything from this link http://www.bittornado.com/ and download, easy as that. HTH Cheers John Crisp

I just checked a receipt from Brown Brothers, they are part ot PARTCO Limited, 2100 The Crescent, Solihull Parkway, Birmingham Business Park, Birmingham B37 7YE Tel 0121 717 0001 http://www.brownbrothers.com . HTH Cheers John Crisp

Chris I know this phone number I have isnt local to you....the company I got mine from was called Brown Brothers, I think they are part of a larger UK company 0141 8874754 This company is in a town called Paisley, about 5 mins from Glasgow Airport, maybee they can help u mate. Cheers John Crisp

Cheers Andy HSK was in my mind for some reason....SKF is the one mate. John Crisp

I got a bearing from a local motor factors....80 quid i think...was made by a quality manufacturer with 3 letters that right now eludes me....but it was like the bearing and the carrier that bolts onto the car so thats why its expensive. I work in the motor trade Chris...when i phone for parts say that u work for a local garage or something to the company u are phoning....u might get a trade discount as usually i do. HTH John Crisp

Lookin good KRS, I think mine's gonna be black but not sure yet. Did u spray it with an airbrush or spraypaint?? Cheers John Crisp

Cheers guys I am gonna order the discs from ScaleAutoStyle but I have model kits coming out my ears here as my eldest son has taken an interest in the model building also but maybee less time for me online create time for my models. Cheers John Crisp

Anyone else started building their models yet, i'm kinda hooked again on model building life i used to do before kids came along and time went out the window, I am kinda dissapointed in the Tamiya 300 as I thought the doors would open but they dont, as I wanted to try and super detail the interior with the doors open. Also I have been surfing looking for detail kits/accessories for the kit, to my amazement there are companies making 1/24 scale replica 17/18 inch wheels, body kits for skylines and 350Z's, and even slotted or drilled discs ffs. http://www.scaleautostyle.com body kits http://www.scaleracecars.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Session_ID=abfa4e34f65184fe830c82e3a663ae99&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=s27mo2401-34&Category_Code=&Store_Code=S FFS Ineed to get out more................... Cheers John Crisp :tongue: :duffer:

Alan When I was recently in Sweden...I kinda pissed off some Swedish cyclists.......hopefully attached piccie will let all be revealed.... Cheers John Crisp
