Agreed!

That copper's just as bad as them, he knows all the naughty words in the dictionary, I must congratulate him. Only in America.

How much did VED go up? I only heard a bit.

I don't hang it up, I know it's the proper thing to do but it's just sat in the conservatory. To be honest from what you describe it sounds like a perished seal. I'm going to have to get it in the car and down to the local bike shop to get it sorted out. I need to sort it as I want to sell it and buy a less full on bike.

All efforts are useless because you're sure to get some bimbo with her 50 kids in a monstorous BMW of some form parking next to you and knocking the f**k out of your car. It happened to me recently, thank god it was in my Audi or I would have lost my s**t. People don't care.

Never filled my 370, there's no point. I put in fuel, give it a good drive and put it to bed for the next time. For everything else the Audi soot chucker sorts me out

Anyone else thinking this is going the same way as it did with Saddam Hussein?

It came out of the lever and not the caliper mate. I'm more than happy to tinker but due to my ever increasing laziness when it comes to getting my hands dirty I may just take it to the local bike shop. I have a feeling it may be a seal as a mate recommended, it seemed to go after a fair few months sitting about and taking it for a ride.

Seems like there's a fair few knowledgable people around here with regards to bikes. I have a problem with mine, it's a Norco A Line and the right handle (front brake) seems to have lost all of it's fluid, the rear brakes works fine, they're Hayes Nine, any ideas?

Cheers mate I just had a look at the first post and there are no payment details. Do you mind sending them over and I'll sort out payment.

It's just a terrible catch 22. I agree that we must secure the safety of the Libyian people (read 'future oil supply') but I also disagree that whilst we are suffering huge cut backs another military operation is allowed to go ahead.

Thanks for the replies guys. Bit of info in my letter to the council I didn't state I handed over the v5 to the guy who bought it, I just stated I was notified that the change of ownership had not happened. In this case am I best of playing stupid and stating the dvla must have lost the notification? I can in a sense prove where I was on the days as I was in work, the finance director and MD would be able to state this. I even have letters regarding insurance change not that means a lot.

Right, I would appreciate some advice please. Back in October I sold a car to a friend of an acquaintance of my brother. He doesn't really have any contact with the guy anymore but to cut a long story short I sold the car and handed over the V5. Quite a stupid idea but as the guy was a part time car dealer and in the trade he said he would sort it out and send it off and I thought nothing of it. Hindsight taught me otherwise so please don't ridicule me for this. Anyway about a month ago I got the tax renewal letter through my door. I quickly drafted a letter to the DVLA to state I didn't own the car anymore, they wrote back confirming that I was no longer the registered owner so no problem there. About 2 weeks ago I got 2 parking tickets from Glasgow City Council. I've never been to Glasgow, never actually been to Scotland, have no links to the area so I was a bit shocked. Anyways these relate to the car I sold, it must have gone up north. I wrote back to Glasgow Council stating I didn't own the car and hoped that would be the end of it. Turns out it wasn't the end of it, they sent a letter back stating that they needed a copy of the invoice for the sale of the car, of which I don't have as the car was 1.5k and I really didn't have the time to mess around with that, there's hindsight again for you, totally bastard so if they don't get a copy invoice they'll take me to court. I'm worried as to what else will come through the post now. So in short, what would you guys do from previous experience (other than not hand over a V5)? Cheers

Let me know mate. I think I'll be on my own, my brothers headed over to the skyline stand so would be nice to get on the 350 stand.

I've only just realised I haven't sorted anything out for this. Is there any stand space or track time left?

I half hoped you'd end the mixtape with that line, one of the stand out lyrics of 2001. Fitting tribute

Ditto. As much as I respect the cause they've done it for I cannot stand Radio 1 or any of their talentless DJs.

Quality

Downloads fine on a laptop, Mr Gates 1 - Steve Jobs 0 I know that doesn't help you much but can't you right click 'save as' or something? On a side note, I'm loving the mix 'Thugs Get Lonely Too' first track - classic!

Some food for thought... UK Road Stats for 2009 2,222 dead 24,690 seriously injured 195, 234 slightly injured Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of small accidents that keep our insurance high... People berate the police and say "they should be out catching real criminals..." - real criminals don't kill and injure as many people as the above... And how many of those are caused by speeding? Not all of them thats for sure. Some will be caused by people texting, applying lipstick, poorly maintained vehicles, poor situational awareness, weather.......you get what I mean. Statistics can be used to prove anything you want. You just have to pose the question in a way that suits. Please dont just throw numbers at us. I couldn't agree more. To be honest speeding motorist probably prop up the economy, think about that one

The government makes far too much money off oil to even consider this petition. The only way to make a difference is to work like hell to make better money, that's what I try to do anyway.

Good pics, looks like a good show!

Because Saudi women put them together and won't leave? As the cheeky German says
