My Z4 3.0si coupe is going into Infinity to get something checked over. I've to drop my car off at 11am tomorrow. They said they have booked me a courtesy car, wonder what it will be??

Very nice.

 

Wish my employer appreciated the hard work me & my colleague do.

You get paid! That's thanks enough, lol!

I do get paid yes but not for all the over time we end up doing because the boss is rubbish at time management.

 

Haha stuarty, are you his boss by any chance?

Bl**dy sounds like it, ....Lloyd is that you?!!

only joking guys. People work hard and should get paid for overtime. I work in NHS and although I never do any overtime, the guys i work with do and always get paid for it at enhanced rates.

Haha stuarty, are you his boss by any chance?

No and thank God for that! My pay is thanks enough, lol.

Yea, well happy to be appreciated and have new pressure washer

I thought I deserved a thank you for all my hard work so just bought myself a pressure washer myself! Lol. If it dosen't move it's getting snow foamed! Lol.

Very nice.

Watch 2 mins 50 secs, snow foam lance looks good!

 

Can't watch videos at work .

Can you recommend a good snow foam applicator compatible with nilfisk and a good snow foam?

Watch 2 mins 50 secs, snow foam lance looks good!

Just noticed that it comes with a chemical bottle/foam bottle, is that a snow foam applicator? It's £21 to buy on its own!

What's the best one of those 2 folks, i badly need one to pressure wash my driveway and decking?

 

Well, they'll will both do the job fine. The Nilfisk one comes with the patio cleaning kit so has everything you'll need for £70.

The Aldi one you need to buy the patio cleaner separate for £25 (which they also have in store)

 

The Aldi one is slightly more powerful in pressure and flow and has a longer hose, a storage reel for the hose and a longer warranty.

 

The Nilfisk is well regarded (a lot say better than Karcher) and is easy to get accessories for (snow foam lance etc...) Although I'm sure you could get one to fit the Aldi one easy enough.

 

Your decision mate. I went for the Aldi one for the reasons I said above, but I doubt you'll be disappointed with either.

 

Cheers mate, just ordered the Nilfisk one. I borrowed my brother in laws Karacher last year and it had the patio cleaner and was awesome.

Good excuse to buy a snow foam attachment now, lol.

Well deserved!

I really only use it for training info and keeping in touch with training partners/friends etc.

Does the forum have a Facebook page? Also what forum members use Facebook?

 

Funniest thing i ever saw was a Japanese girl singing the old Cliff Richards song "we don't talk anymore" on a Karaoke machine!

You seem to be a very sensible fellow Stuarty.

 

You obv havent read his other posts

Where you teach TKD Flex?

 

Norwich

what organisation mate?

 

Having previously owned 2 Mazda 3 MPS's, im aware of Autotraders issues. Since the 6MPS is AWD it had a habit of auto completing the for sale sheet of a 3MPS as AWD. Plenty people were caught out by that.

 

 

I had to keep searching both 370z and 370 z when buying mine

Why does the 350z not have this problem?

I can only assume that when entering the model of car, that sellers have entered '370z' and also '370 z' therefore both are picked up when applying filters.

 

This is purely a guess though.

That sounds about right, thanks for clearing that up. But would the same not happen with regards to the 350z?

Whilst searching for a 370z on Auto trader I noticed that their is 2 results for 370z's. I first thought that maybe they had separated the coupe from the convertible but this isn't the case.

Anyone know why this is?

I've been thinking about changing my BMW Z4 3.0 si coupe. I narrowed it down to either a cayman or 370z. I initially decided to buy a cayman as I had a 350z in the past.

After serious consideration i decided on a 370z and I've been looking all week.

If you don't mind me asking, why you decided to sell?

Hi everyone, I'm thinking of buying this plate UR 510W B (UR SLOW B ), what you guys think?

when I saw that the first thing that came to mind was "your 510 watt bulb", but that's just my opinion. Good luck!

I see why you cancelled the 370 test drive now stuarty.

 

Never had any injury like this ~ closest I've come is after I crashed & rolled one of my cars down a local hill at speed when I was younger. In the crash I dislocated my shoulder badly but because of the shock & possibly being KO'd for few seconds I didn't realize.

 

Thought I'd got lucky and only suffered cut's & bruise's in the crash but a few months later I painfully dislocated my shoulder whilst closing a door of all things. Managed to pop my shoulder back in place myself at home (not at all like Mel Gibson did in Lethal Weapon I may add) by ignoring the pain, trying to relax & gently letting the muscle pull itself back into place with me gently pushing.

 

Still being 20 years old at the time and super tuff, I carried on. Didn't even visit the doctors. It was only after I dislocated my shoulder a further two times over the following 12 months that I finally went to the doctors.

 

Ended up having an MRI scan (they injected some dye in my shoulder), Xrays and they decided it had been left too long to operate. I had broken some bone clean off from my shoulder and my body had weirdly compensated for my injury, developing some of the largest muscles the doctors had seen in some strange places.

 

I had to go through physio at the hospital for over a year with continued physio at home (basically lifting weights in special ways to re-develop shoulder muscles where they should be) for several years.

Suffered spasms & pain in my shoulder for years afterwards but nowadays it's pretty good tbh.

 

Good luck with the knee injury stuarty.

Offt, I've dislocated a few shoulders in my time (not my own) and it's never nice!

Ruptured ACL rollerblading back in the 90s. Was serving at the time. Leg swelled up like a balloon. Had a lot of physio to strengthen the leg and it did a good job. 2 years later saw the surgeon and he basically gave me the choice but what clinched for me was the younger you are, the easier and faster you recover. My ACL was repaired via hamstring but instead od screws the surgeon used some bone and the operation was a total success. He advised not to take the p*ss and be sensible on what I did so the contact sports stopped and I went down the triathlon sports route and now aged 50 get by on spin classes and swimming a few times a week. The knee is a strong as ever and have also played a bit of squash but the key was the pre and post op physio. Hurt like hell at the time but my advice would be. Be sensible and don't take the p*ss.

Yeah, Physio was intense for me too. I had a lot of support after op. Best thing was the Cyro cuff and I had a machine that moved my leg back and forward for 8 hours a day.

But my problem is that I cant do 75%! The week before I tore my cartilage i was squatting 190kg and leg pressing 390kg. Not bad considering i had an ACL reconstruction a few years earlier. But that's me had my warnings, I've been training TKD since I was a kid and I'm 40 this year, so I'd rather train light than not at all!

I took a low tackle in rugby when i was 23. folded my knee 90deg the wrong way, tore and shredded my acl - and lost the meniscus, which was found on the other side of the knee. The operation was a little painful and i was told it would be better not to play again. Sod that. I'm 38 now and still play rugby and have been a kickboxer for over 15 years. Get it sorted. and get back training. The knee surgeons these days are amazing.

Good advice, I'll be back in no time!

This is my knee. I broke my leg just below the knee joint in a motorcycle accident bit also damaged the ligaments as my knee bent in a direction it's not meant to

 

The reason I'm sharing this is it also stopped me from TKD training. It's never been 'right' since (the metal work is still in there) and I have not returned to TKD. I did try, but it just never felt strong enough.

 

You have my empathy and sympathy mate. Although I never reached the level you have at TKD, I do really miss it.

 

 

I wish you a fast recovery Sir

Holy moly, that's nasty. No wonder you never got back! Respect for trying though!

Kwon.
