  1. No problem!! Well JUST a little one!! You will need to sit on the floor, as I only have a lightweight drivers seat fitted :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
  2. My Binmen always seem a happy bunch too!!!!! :D :D :confused:
  3. Has some merit that idea. Garanteed holidays with pay. Sick pay. Index linked pension plan with no risks. Work clothes provided. No financial risks. Virtually no risk of reduncancy/bankruptcy etc........ Im not saying that self employment doesnt add up. It has done for me. But sometimes I wonder at what cost. Ive just pointed out some of the actual work I do which is not always obvious to someone with no previous experience of self employment.
  4. Well here comes some negative aspects!!! New business startups have a high failure rate, often due to lack of funding, cashflow etc. Dont forget about the long number of unpaid hours you will NEED to spend doing tax returns, VAT returns. Writing and implementing Risk assesments for Local Heath n Safety inspectors etc. Add on the time spent researching and implementing personal pension plans and arranging/ negotiating appropriate insurances etc, not to mention dealing with your friendly(not) bank, who will charge you for every penny they handle. Oh and dont forget to make provision for slow settlement of monies owed to you, but the instant payment needed for vat n tax. And then be prepared to write TOTALLY off some debts. I have been self employed for 22 years now, and every suceeding year becomes more difficult. All the above based on the assumption that you actually find a business that is viable in the first place! And that in itself is no mean feat in this present financial/ economic period
  5. I am working Sat AM so wont be down till about 3.30 -4.0pm. Im staying overnight nearby and will be there bright n early Sun for a final attack at the strip this year, weather permitting.

    Get in touch with one of the clubs traders/garages for advice. :bow: See traders section. Also speak to John Dixon(forum member). Knows more about mapping ecus etc than the rest of the membership put together. :bow:
  13. Lookin awesome already.Ill be over in the morning!!!
  14. Muhahahaha!!!!!!!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: WICKED!
  15. Nice one Steve! It is indeed a worthwhile mod....BUT.... Decatting on its own will not really produce much if any increase in BHP on its own. What it will do is allow the engine to breathe freer. A sparper throttle response might be noticable .So look to be breaking into that 15 sec bracket Steve!!! :D Upgrading the whole exhaust side of the engine is the way to go to get noticible power gains. What needs to be remembered with ALL NA engines is the fact that there is no one single mod that will give big power increases. Its a case of selecting a batch of mutually synergistic mods. And dont bother posting "Just get some turbos" THANK YOU!! :mac1:
  16. Welcome to the MADHOUSE. Smart move there.... Gettin an NA... All the pose without the woes!!!! :hyper: Shame about the colour! :D But hey nobody gets it right ALL the time :rofl: :rofl:
  17. Like the guys have just said. We are cheaper than Autotrader tho!!!! :D :D
  18. Best Wishes Mate! Dont get too ratted will ya??? :rofl: :rofl:

    Welcome aboard Mate. Nice choice of motor. Short n Slick. :bow: Just bein nosey now? Have you just got it? And if so was it Manchester way where you bought it?? :confused: :D :D
  21. SUITS YOU SIR!!!!!!! :D :D SORRY! that was a poor attempt at humour :x:
  22. You need to look back at Trinity's threads mate!!! :rofl: But what you guys said is true. IF she is genuinely interested in pursuing some dialogue then a subscription will be the proof. If she is/was just another bored college kid. well so be it. Nothing she did was offensive or insulting, and that makes her an alright person in my book. As long as the forum is open we are always vulnerable to this type of thing. So long as it is well moderated(AND IT IS :bow: :bow: ) then snakes are Dangerous idiots will soon be found out and banned. And dont forget we have the SUBSCRIBED MEMBERS DISCUSSION forum. We dont seem to make enough use of that do we?? :confused:
