Blinding !! Alan........

We use them all the time in the work, any hardware supplier will probably stock them. I tried a tap at first, but it was too slow, no patience me !:laugh: The beauty of the cutting bolt is it takes about 2 mins to do one wheel ! Impact gun, or air ratchet on a soft setting, job done. If you need the self cutting bolt, let me know and I can stick some in a Jiffy bag and post them down to you, FOC. Glad to help out ! :rockon: Alan...............

WOW ! Incredible !!:clap::clap: Read some of the comments. There are some fuds out there !!:glare: Alan........

Green eyed monster perhaps Richard ?? Alan..........

Yeah, eerie ! Kinda sad as well ? Alan........

Dunno if this is any help ? Bought a set of American Racing alloys for my 93 Camaro that were in poor condition, and they had these plastic chrome coated kid-on bolt heads as well. I removed them, re-furbed the wheel edges by hand using various grades of sandpaper, finishing off with a diy polishing kit from Halfords and Farecla compound, final finish with Autosol. Painted the spokes a satin wheel silver and lacquered them last. I ran a 8mm self cutting bolt into each hole, which threaded each hole, and then fitted M8 x M12 stainless button head bolts, easilly obtainable from any bolt supplier. The wheels were kerbed, and plenty of crud underneath the original lacquer before I started. Finish result was like this ! If you need the self cutting bolts or owt, let me know ! Alan............

Sometimes I post up nonsense, in fact, mostly I post up nonsense, but spare a few minutes and watch this link ! Story goes; This video shows the winner of 2009's " Ukraine 's Got Talent", Kseniya Simonova, 24, drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II. Her talent, which admittedly is a strange one, is mesmeric to watch. The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the audience to tears and she won the top prize of about $75,000. She begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting holding hands on a bench under a starry sky, but then warplanes appear and the happy scene is obliterated. It is replaced by a woman's face crying, but then a baby arrives and the woman smiles again. Once again war returns and Miss Simonova throws the sand into chaos from which a young woman's face appears. She quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled and sad, before the image turns into a monument to an Unknown Soldier. This outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as if the viewer is looking out on the monument from within a house. In the final scene, a mother and child appear inside and a man standing outside, with his hands pressed against the glass, saying goodbye... The Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine , resulted in one in four of the population being killed with eight to 11 million deaths out of a population of 42 million. An art critic said: "I find it difficult enough to create art using paper and pencils or paintbrushes, but using sand and fingers is beyond me. The art, especially when the war is used as the subject matter, even brings some audience members to tears. And there's surely no bigger compliment." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOhf3OvRXKg Alan...............

Mental, My workplace is DAF agents and if the intercooler is away, its more than 4k mate ! Nobody killed, so not too bad. Still unfortunate tho. Alan...........

Found this on another site........................... USA - Three Reported Missing After Animal Rights Activists Take "War on Leather" to Motorcycle Gang Rally. Johnstown, PA: Local and state police scoured the hills outside rural Johnstown, Pennsylvania, after reports of three animal rights activists going missing after attempting to protest the wearing of leather at a large motorcycle gang rally this weekend. Two others, previously reported missing, were discovered by fast food workers "duct taped inside several fast food restaurant dumpsters," according to police officials. "Something just went wrong," said a still visibly shaken organizer of the protest. "Something just went horribly, horribly, wrong." The organizer said a group of concerned animal rights activist groups, "growing tired of throwing fake blood and shouting profanities at older women wearing leather or fur coats," decided to protest the annual motorcycle club event "in a hope to show them our outrage at their wanton use of leather in their clothing and motor bike seats." "In fact," said the organizer. "Motorcycle gangs are one of the biggest abusers of wearing leather, and we decided it was high time that we let them know that we disagree with them using it... Ergo, they should stop." According to witnesses, protesters arrived at the event in a vintage 1960's era Volkswagen van and began to pelt the gang members with balloons filled with red colored water, simulating blood, and shouting "you're murderers" to passers by. This, evidently, is when the brouhaha began. "They peed on me!!!" charged one activist. "They grabbed me, said I looked like I was French, started calling me 'La Trene', and duct taped me to a tree so they could pee on me all day!" "I... I was trying to show my outrage at a man with a heavy leather jacket. And, he... he didn't even care. I called him a murderer, and all he said was, 'You can't prove that.' Next thing I know is he forced me to ride on the back of his motorcycle all day, and not left me off, because his girl friend was out of town and I was almost a woman." Still others claimed they were forced to eat hamburgers and hot dogs under duress. Those who resisted were allegedly held down while several bikers "farted on their heads." Police officials declined comments on any leads or arrests due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, however, organizers for the motorcycle club rally expressed "surprise" at the allegations. "That's preposterous," said on high ranking member of the biker organizing committee. "We were having a party, and these people showed up and were very rude to us. They threw things at us, called us names, and tried to ruin the entire event. So, what did we do? We invited them to the party! What could be more friendly than that? You know, just because we are all members of motorcycle clubs does not mean we do not care about inclusiveness. Personally, I think it shows a lack of character for them to be saying such nasty things about us after we bent over backwards to make them feel welcome." When confronted with the allegations of force feeding the activists meat, using them as ad hoc latrines, leaving them incapacitated in fast food restaurant dumpsters, and 'farting on their heads,' the organizer declined to comment in detail. "That's just our secret handshake," assured the organizer. Original Article - http://www.outlawbiker.co.uk/news.php?readmore=10088 Cartman seems appropriate here ?? Alan..........
