Who was that with? I got a quote for £200 for the screen alone, labour and VAT were on top.

It was a company called budgetwindsreens.co.uk

I was quoted £185+vat to get my screen replaced with a heated one. Was wishing I'd done the other day when the car was a white block of frost.

..... makes 2 of us!

Sorry to see RRP leaving.

Whenever I get a new car/bike I always search for a good owners forum/club and use the traders recommended. If the traders make the effort to support the club, I like to do my bit to try and support them.

Thanks for being a supporter for the past 3 years.

My current Halfords charger no longer works and it's only a few years old.
Thinking of getting a decent charger/starter next then I won't have to use my spare bike batteries to start the dead cars.
What to get though?

Hoping to be there as I'm on the early shift that week.

I went to night school to do a car restoration course and we learnt with gas torches. I had a set of expansion chambers (GT750) that needed some work so the cost of the course was covered by fixing them myself. Tried MIG and found it easier after the gas welding. Now use TIG at home. The course was ...

Anyone else here or did I miss you all or go to the wrong pub. I usually get lost getting home from pubs

I run approx. 150ml of 2-stroke to a tank of fuel. Last MOT I forgot to run it down and fill with no 2-stroke oil. She still passed the emissions test.
The car came with a sport CAT but I don't know anything else about it. It does bring up the error code on longish motorway drives if I cruise along.

Hope to make the 17th.
Be nice to see the new meeting place.

I haven't logged into spotify since the first year it came out. I should give it a go though. Thanks.

Fitted the Aux Mod to my radio so now I can get music and directions from my phone.

I just need some better music on my phone now!

Paid for Friday, Saturday night, novice sessions and 2 evening meals.

Sorry, completely slipped my mind.

Saw a black 8 parked outside the Tesco's in Horley around 12 today. Mine was parked almost directly opposite.

Hope to be there.
Will hang around this time until the parking has been sorted

When 2 vehicles are caught in the same speed trap they use the 'ladder' on the road to confirm which vehicle tripped the speed camera.
I don't see how you can acoustically isolate a single motorcycle in a group of bikes?
Safety in numbers?

The rotary gods must be smiling down on me this month. I'm supposed to be on the late shift, well I am, but working from home Wednesday as I have some extremely boring online training to complete and snoring at work is frowned upon. :z :D Might be the 3 of us if Aaron is allowed out late on a school...

Had a nice envelope turn up today with my shiny new locking wheel nut key! Managed to strip and rebuild the drivers side front calliper and now the brakes are working great again! Might be a good idea to do the passenger side as a bit of preventative medicine but going to enjoy driving the car for a...

My Rover 75 insurance was due in October, £280. Since Jessica now has a little automatic Lupo to run around in, I changed the RX8 to my name and insured it for £169.

Specialist HIend Transport

Not sure what we could use for an acronym though

If Shell have to use a marketing word like "Dynaflex" to describe it's 30% more cleaning molecules in V-Power, then I wonder what a load of old crock it must really be. On a recent bike trip to the Ukraine I came across a lot of stations selling 100 octane fuel. I rebuilt the engine recently and thi...

Leaving in 20 mins, should be there around 11:30.

I completely missed that this was from 2013. Wonder if the discount still applies?

Hi Nigel, can you add Jessica please.
Thanks
Geoff
