  1. Hi Hoff,

    The irony is, after stopping to see about the wounded, the badger just walked away. Absolutely bullet-proof (unlike my car).

     

    Chatted to Sky this morning, they tell me that there will be a 10% increase in my premum next year. Added to that the excess and I'm looking at change from £300.

     

    What's a bloke to do?

     

    I've been in touch with the traders and not many have anything in stock, so it could be that I wait up to 5 weeks for a new replacement or fix it.

     

    oh brother!

  2. 5 mins from home and..."bang!"

     

    A badger decides to cross the road. Looking at my options it's either get the front repaired or go through the insurance and (hopefully) get it changed for something diferent!

     

    It never rains but it pours.

  3. Gone in 60 seconds eat ya heart out!!!

     

    You're not wrong there! I wonder if we'll see highlights on 'Police Camera Action'?

     

     

    Phew, lucky I have an NA.

     

    Mine too! They won't know what they've got until they're behind the wheel. If it's an NA they'll probably just smash it into a wall out of frustration eh!

  4. Whilst driving up to North Wales late on Friday night, I was stopped by the 'boys in blue'. I thought I was surely going to see my license disappear (as I was pushing the rev counter!), but no. Phew!

     

    The nice officer (a dog handler who was pushing his Ford Focus to the max to catch up with me after about 4 miles), explained that car criminals are operating in and around the NW and Cheshire area. That's why he gave chase. He thought my car was stolen.

     

    They are stealing high performance cars and driving them to Holyhead, where they are put into containers and shipped abroad.

     

    So good people, you have been warned. Lock down your cars, make sure they're alarmed or hide them away safe, 'cos you might wake up in the morning to find your pride and joy gone!

  5. !7" or 18" Alloys with or without tyres and not any nasty stuff that needs refurb willing to pay cash or paypal :)

     

    Got a set of these - Diavaletto 17" wrapped in very good Eagle F1 tyres. Jay has them at present, but if they're not sold they're yours if you want them (for some green of course).

     

    Cheers,

    Gaz

  6. Hi Paul,

    I've been away for a while...but now I'm back

    in the club!

     

    I did a swap for a pair Gareth Eaves had.

    I still have his the old pair. (Soz Gaz!).

    Slightly yellow plastic ones but no leaks.

     

    If Gareth Eaves agrees, then you could be

    the new owner of the pair.

     

    Let me know (or Gaz Eaves) and we'll sort

    something out.

     

    Cheers.

    Happy New Year.

  7. Depends where you go.

    Most places will split the rims down to their 3 parts,

    repair the damage and re-fit. They'll probably charge

    you for new rivets too, as the old ones will have to be drilled

    out.

     

    Maybe see if they can mask off the inner wheel while

    the outer part is refurbed. That way you save money.

     

    I can't recommend anyone, as the bloke I took mine to

    in Ross-On-Wye was a waste of time. I'm currently looking

    to have two of my 19's done.

     

    Good luck,

    Gaz

  8. Hi Pixelfill (or should it be 'Studio Max' or 'Rhino'?)

    Obviously you're in the world of rendering, yes?

     

    Could have been me heading South around 6pm.

    Just finished freelancing in Warrington and came off

    at Jcn 19 to head for Northwich.

     

    Was it a silver veilside with 'bling 19" deep dish' with the

    roar of a lion. :)

  9. Sorry to read/see the damage, but as mentioned earlier, it's not too bad.

    If you're after another cover for the vent, email Chase on here,

    as I sold both sides vents to him and I know he only needs one.

    Not sure which side he used though.

     

    He could post it down to you, they're only plastic so shouldn't

    cost a fortune.

     

    Good luck.

    Gaz :whip:

  10. Go to http://www.purple-paw.co.uk

  13. Gaz,

    what route are you planning? You could do a shoot

    at several locations around old mills and/or countryside,

    rolling hills and the like!

     

    I'll try and get hold of those other two near me and we'll

    convoy to a meeting zone on route.
