Sh1t the bed, that must have hurt! :nelson:

Dont know about snow but as I cycled to work this morning I had ice forming on my gloves. Brrr! Not looking forward to tomorrow as the old ladies in the queue reckon its gonna snow!

You can do 'rope ladder' climbing in the Alps. Basically steel cables and ladders that you clip yourself to with 2 lengths of rope called Cows Tails. Clip and unclip as you go, simple! Called Kletersteig (sp) in Austria. Were originally put up in WW2 to help the Allied soldiers escape over the mountains to Italy. There's your Saturday night fact!

Hell yeah! I'd love to give it a go! I get kicks from doing stuff like that :smash:

Yeah I thought Danny would be the best person to speak to! Cheers mate ;)

Yip, I got the shoe box set too! Cant believe they were doing the rounds. Definitly owe Iain a pint for keeping on at him!

Yeah, agree 110% with you there! I did order 6000K HIDs from a certain ****@greddy but 9 months later I eventually received the lights, albeit 8000K. Wasnt worth the pain and Iain's (MAC1) time sorting it out. The light is good, just that the tar on the road absorbs that freq of light as apposed to the white yellow light which it reflects. Do you know if it is possible to purchase 6000K bulbs seperately?

Whoa! Hold it there Missy! WTF?!!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

PMSL! But the Springboks dont need those rules while we have Ntini and Pollock!!

Maybe they seem brighter because of the way the lens spreads the light? Our lights are positioned rather low down and are set back quite a bit which will no doubt reduce the amount of light that is spread out onto the road. BTW I have 8000k and they arent that good at all! If I didnt wait 9 months to get them off an ex trader, I would've complained!

If you have the correct nut, take it to a place that sells taps and dies and compare them to the nut. Usually come in various cuts, 3 usually. Start off with the smallest cut to remove the least material, then No2 then No3. If you dont have cutting paste, oil will be fine. Sometimes I wish I carried on with my fitting and turning job!

Hi Richard Is it too bad to run a die with some cutting paste over the threads? Or perhaps run a smaller die over it and use another nut? Havent seen it so I dont know it either will work, just an idea! How are ya anyway? Back in Ipswich for the week then back to Reading til Sept. Andrew

We'll be branded Whenwe's shortly! Now we dont want that!

Its a done deal then! Tempo Bars, proper biltong, pronutro, I could go on and on! Yum!

Yeah, mainly money issues too with me! And the fooking MOD has sold off their wall in Reading :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal We are really pissed off about that, as you can imagine. And yip, getting lazier and fatter too!

That import stuff is rank! We have a SA shop in Ipswich, expensive but has NikNaks, mmmm! Loading sanza now. August, its on! With the Zeds :hyper: :hyper: I'm sure we could turn it into a meet, what do you say!!

Castle, mmmmmm! Where is it? I've heard it but never been. :headvswal Shamptom isnt that far! Plus I've already had 1 or 5 beers, cant drive, so get your @rse in your car and drive up here! :nana2:

Bugger, I'm in Kingston Upon Thames (posh place) tomorrow! Hows the climbing going bud? I havent been for AGES.

I'm here, my best mate just stood me up for the pub. Anyone in Reading wanna pint???????!!

Now that is a distraction! I spend more time looking at my speedo though those 'average areas' than looking at the road. I'd love to know how many tail end shunts there are in those areas compared to areas with the same speed limit and no cameras. In South Africa the speed cameras are hidden. So I just drove how I wanted and paid the fines when I dropped the hire car off. £55 for 3 fines, so cheap! And no points!

I cant wait!!!!! But think we'll only notice it big time in the winter because thats when everyone will be couped up in the pub as apposed to the beer gardens. Mmmm, nice fresh air, I can just smell it!

Oh dont worry, I agree 100% with you! I NEVER use my phone while driving. Never have done, even when I lived in SA and it wasnt law. Like the no smoking ban in public (yipee, at last) where is that gonna lead to in the future?? LOL at the BMW drivers!

Many :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: to that man! Downloarding one at the mo. 56K, its taking ages! Thanks bud! Andrew

But where will this end? Soon you wont be able to change the station on the radio, use your satnav, adj the climate control all because your hand isnt on the steering wheel! Who judges whether you are in control of the vehicle? :headvswal

Hey Everyone I'm after some PCB design software to download. Does anyone know of a site I can get it from? Like Daves Zed, I'm going a bit wild with the whole LED thing and am starting to need PCBs. Oh yeah, free downloads! Thanks peeps Andrew
