What is your favourite tool?
I bought one of those professional sets from halfords recently, well impressed, snap-on quality and warranty with a fraction of the price.:thumbup1: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_177693_langId_-1_categoryId_165572cm_cr=No+Campaign-_-Web+Activity-_-07-FEB10-WORKSHOP-M-1-_-PRODCAT_ESPOTMAIN_165532-_-07-FEB10-WORKSHOP-M-1

Inflation hits 'Fudge'! Now 17p!
Yeah, think space raiders are 20p now. Can remember when snaps first came out, they were 2p, other crisps were 3p. 20 fags were 80p!

rogue customers
I did 8yrs in the double glazing industry, once heard of a well known company having probs with a customer paying up, they called round on the pretence of doing some service work. They then removed all the opening fanlights, put them in the van & drove off. Said customer then got a phone call from the company stating that unless they recieved full payment, the sashes would not be re-fitted, the product remains the property of the supplier until full payment is recieved. Needless to say, payment was promptly recieved! Hate these sort of people, they agree a price, then refuse to pay up when you do the work...:mad2:

is a grand to cheap for a tt zed?
If the guy selling it only thinks it's worth a grand, and you think it's worth more, then yes it's a bargain! How much does the seller know about Z's? To some people they are just gas guzzling macho man cars, to others they are a classic sportscar, depends how he see's it really. A friend at work has just paid £1500 for a TT auto '91, which is a bargain. The car has had new tubs, fsh (cambelt, oil changes etc) even had the dett sensor done properley, heater matrix, propshaft mount etc etc It's still restricted to 112mph too! I've known the car since it came into the country, i know the first owner, i know the second owner, i recommended it to the 3rd owner too. Who knows i might buy it myself one day! It has a few cosmetic issues, rear spoiler is mullered, one of the targas leaks a bit, thats about it really. IMO as long as the engine/mechanicals are all working fine, it will be a bargain. There are lots of bodyshops who can fix any cosmetics with it, but very few garages that know enough about them to able to diagnose any problems and competantly fix them.

The lie game
Wrong... i rode a timed competition, if you could beat his lap time, you won a brand new BMX, i had 5 goes, managed to get the same time as him. Just couldn't beat it, was at Earls Court motorbike show iirc.

The lie game
Evo-3 Bigmincey-2 1. I once appeared alongside Ronnie Corbet in 'Sorry' 2. At a BMX challenge in the 80's, i posted the same laptime as BMX legend Andy Ruffel. 3. I once cycled from landsend to john o groats.

Offers
Yeah, it's really annoying, you either want to sell or you don't. The other one's that get me are, when you see a car parked at the side of the road with a4 sheet in the window, declaring fsh, mot etc.... but no ******* price!, some don't even have a number, just 'apply within', apply within where? The car is on a grass verge at the side of the road! These ones are usually in a hard to 'quickly park up and have a look' place, so they should have a price in BIG numbers on the screen to catch your attention as you drive by and not waste your time having to do a 968 point turn in someones driveway to go back for a look. Also the adds with 'POA' (price on application) after them, wtf is that all about! Do i have to apply to buy your car? Do you actually know how much you want for it, or are you just going to make up a price depending on what time of day it is when i ring you?:wink:

astra mk2 gte 16v or primera egt
Mine was blue too, a h-reg. The wheel arches fell apart. Had a good engine though, done 140k and still going strong.

astra mk2 gte 16v or primera egt
Thats the earlier model, mine was a 1984 B-reg, was a hatchback, really wanted the saloon, but they were very rare. I'm gonna upset you now and tell you i also had a 16v Calibra too.:whistling: But it fell to bits!

astra mk2 gte 16v or primera egt
A mate had a 16v astra years ago, very quick car, crap handling though. Can't speak for the primera, never been in one. A good astra will set you back a few quid now, quite sought after.

Lets hope the guards/doctors treating him took their time getting to him, perhaps finishing their teabreak first.
