I'm all for the social aspect of it and it is good to see the youngsters out in groups using the clues to find the little Pokemons! but now not only are they not talking with their mates, but some are taking no notice of the roads...2ft and a swerve of the car saved me from striking down a nipper this morning as he walked cluelessly straight into the road! No thanks! just a load of deadbeat glances, working out why I was driving on the road in the first place.

Again! There's only one thing for it, we need to raise enough to buy this turd of a car and get it off the road once and for all!

Given my extensive experience in these matters, had you re-fitted that rusty steering wheel?...almost certainly the problem, Lol! Glad your up and running again!

:punk:

Good call! I'll have to make a note of that next time around. By the way, I know I shouldn't ask, but if there is such a thing as fuel economy....what is it. Lol!

Great turnaround, love the colour and the truck. Great workmanship on putting together to the finished standard. Really wish I had been able to buy back my Bmw when it got stuffed recently, but I guess not all insurance companies offer that option.

Your bang out of order Chris, perhaps even ignorant or naive to politics or the political discussion on Brexit... If you believe that everyone voted only on the issue of immigration then you are doing yourself a disservice to yourself as to why you came to your own decision. My decision (out) and many others I shared that vote with, voiced many concerns on why we should leave the EU and immigration was just one of them. The only bigotry is shown by those that cannot cope with an alternative viewpoint or opinion than there own and resort to labeling and insults to cover there inadequacies. Feel for you mate, that out of all this your only concern is not actually for the Migrants nor Trading tariffs, authority of our own courts, imposition of laws and regulations from an un-elected body...no none of this, but how much your Zeds car parts may cost you!

The Dollar is sitting 7 cents less than it has been on and off for the last year! The FTSE market fell this morning to a low which didn't reach the stage it was two weeks ago and has now recovered to a level comparable with the last year and the Euro is strengthening to just 2 euros form it's level of the last 6 months... crash! nightmare scenario, I don't think so, the press are talking about a one day currency fall on the dollar to its lowest ever, but that's due to the FX markets inflating the dollar to 1.50 last night a level it hasn't been at for over two years. There are uncertain times ahead, but Europe needed to wake up and it needs to return to a free trading market agreed between nations and not the ambition of an autonomous single president and government ruling un-elected as a head of all states. The UK is Europe's single largest trading partner, it will not levy trade against it but I think it will open the door to a new way of trading between countries as it used to be and should of been without all this upheaval.

As in am i professionaly linked with the technology or its implementation, no! However ideas a umber of reports end of last year and earlier this year about the installation and intention of the HADECS cameras in there new locations. It doesn't take long with a Google search to find the press releases that were issued at the time and the level of prosecutions these cameras were churning out when first installed. http://www.saga.co.uk/magazine/motoring/cars/using/2016/motorway-cameras# I understand there is however a petition going through parliament to have these cameras painted or removed.

Not entirely the case as the new Digital speed cameras going up on the east of the M25 and M20 (no doubt elswhere) have a zero tolerance for going over 70mph or the regulated controlled limit that may be in place. Many drivers already cruise around at speeds of 80+mph which is acceptable in the right conditions, but of course they are the ones most likely to cause an accident when they spot Plod parked up or cruising ahead, usually blind panic sets in, followed by a deft slam of the breaks and a perfectly executed cutting in of the traffic causing the unique sight of a concertina mayhem...all in the avoidance of being caught at said speed. Not an excuse of course, but I am sure more motorists would travel at 80 but not necessarily above as i think most people except this as a comfortable cruising speed that works for the modern car, makes tangible progress on a journey and is not to fast that you can still react to and from other motorists and situations around you. Speed awareness courses are government funded therefore have an agenda, they also still believe the motorist is responsible for everyone and everything not on four wheels, irrespective of the behaviour of other road users, powered or otherwise.

Petition should be against Alfa romeo to make, just for once a car that the number plate doesn't look like a complete eyesore! :lol:... as for the getting rid of the front number plate, it will never happen and I would rather see am 80 mph limit raised as a more productive petition.

Great game! only Germany to go now......:wacko:

Hmm! not sure its all as it seems, has a trading history of all sorts of wares including cars, a lot of which has shipped to the states. Whatever his circumstances perhaps its a wake up call to get his c**p together....after all he is a Geezer apparently.

I asked them about the add and they replied that the son had put the details up as a TT, no suggestion to revise or remove...trying to get away with it i feel!

If the Owner doesn't know any better, then nor do the bidders! Obviously the lure of body kits, turbos (or not) and a little known GT has got a few peeps blinkered in excitement!

Oh lord!...Son wants to go to a slammed show this weekend at Goodwood, fear I would get thrown out for laughing hysterically! if this is what's on show. God Awful!

MB World use the track just after the banked section for their driving school days, we took my Son down there a few weeks back to have an hours lesson and i was blown away to see the banking section (still with concrete partially exposed from trees/ shrubbery etc) in such a state of repair and such an ignominious end to a historic part of Motorsport history. That said MB World is fantastic and although i didn't visit it, I hear Brooklands Aviation museum is a great visit too! I understand there is a funding program to get the remaining part of the circuit back to it's former glory, although it won't be used for racing...

"I am the greatest".....and he was. RIP Champ.

So sorry to hear of your loss Jeff. Pet owners especially dog owners will understand that the passing of a loyal animal can be as deep and traumatic as that of a human. We live with these pets as owners looking after and taking the decisions they cannot take for themselves always in the mind of doing the right thing. If it is to play God, then it is to show humanity and compassion to take the hardest decision. Perhaps in time you need to fill the villa with a new young cassie and start the adventure again!

I remember camping as a nipper in and around Wales and visiting places like betws y coed, swallow falls etc. I would like to go again with the family before the camping interest wains as it's a stunning part of the UK. Nice to see those Photos Dan.

Well watched the whole show and it seems the first 20 minutes was a marker for the rest of the show. Evans as ever over hyped, Leblanc narration could send you to sleep and the challenges inevitably have been done before. The audience seemed very lackluster which I understand may be explained due to the repeated shooting of the sketches which ran into the evening when they were meant to be finished by mid afternoon. I read the first original guests pulled out and at the last minute they called in foul mouth and the US side kick. I'm sure they will get more comfortable with it if they keep the series running (ratings dependent) but it won't be essential Sunday night viewing for me anymore.

Nice run Dan, but get your big bike glove finger off the lens..lol!

Rally/Tarmac challenge a better idea!

just watched first 20 mins...first impressions, predictable and lacking energy...still, give it time.

Keep up people! :biggrin:
