  4. Welcome to the forum TGM in Fleet and just off the M3 - a lot us in the SE use them. Although they built their reputation with racing Hondas they now know the ZEDs very well - quality work at decent prices http://www.tgmsport.co.uk/ ask for Tom and say you are from this forum

  8. Hope Graham told the good lady that the ZED he had really come to see was not quite in running order so there was no passenger rides from you going..............................just yet I presume that sheared bolt on the diff had not meant it had been hanging on by the proverbial

  14. Have a great day buddy and enjoy your night away - you are certainly racking up the miles at the mo. June sends her love but I'll pass going that far, knowing this lot on here
  15. In addition to what Stew has said about being careful what is posted and things easily being misconstrued, it is clear insurance companies also look for any avenue to decline a claim, as I have a relative who is employed by one and his main task is to check all sources of information as to whether there are grounds to decline a claim under their small print
  16. Its just like we see on here - some look to own a ZED but it becomes apparent they stuggle to find the means to support it, having borrowed for the purchase. Put temptation on the table and there will always be those who decide with their heart rather than their head. We live in a material age where having the latest what-have-you is king. If the potential to buy things on tick cannot be realised because the moneymen decide its too risky to lend on, then at least it dosen't all end up in tears. I see this with my two lads in their early thirties and the only thing that is helping them get by is the current low interest rate - sadly their future aspirations for bettering themselves are now very much on hold because of the current economic situation and having borrowed, like all their university mates were doing, up to the hilt - because it was available and was the 'norm'. Sadly, an awful lot of people are going to suffer for years to come.
  17. Opps, forgot about that overtake on the first hoon Or was it the one at Knockhill
  18. Supurb pics there Daryl - so glad we have you on here for some of these 'insider' shots and info. I'm looking forward to getting up close and personal at one of the GPs next year

  20. As they say, size is not the be all and end all
  21. In my last 10 years with a Local Authority I saw the salaries of the Directors and higher-end managers grow out of all proportion compared to the 'coal face' public sector employees who often have to deal with very challenging 'customers' and take the day-to-day flak in the face. Going back 20 odd years when this disparity really got started and the move for savings was seen as bringing in 'expertise' from the private sector, in my experience it just led to shambles because they were solely charged with financial savings and had little, in any, understanding of the public service LA's are under a duty to undertake by statute. Over that time we have seen the wage disparity across all work areas grow and those at the bottom end see little betterment in their lifestyles - more the opposite nowadays. Do we see those at the top end similarly 'suffering'? Certainly not in the area where I live given the various building projects I get to see I am just concerned that those who are not at the top end and so not able to 'milk' the system, whether they are in the private or public sectors, have disproportionally taken the greater brunt of cuts - whatever job they do. OK, so the same system is largely worldwide and I accept that keeping this country 'competitive' sadly means top-end salaries are unlikely to result in fairer wealth distribution anytime soon. The increasing availabilty of credit has, until very recently and made possible by yes, guess who.... using all sorts of enticing offers and with Governments endorsement, has been the single biggest factor that has got us in the situation we are now. When I was seeking my first mortgage back in the late sixties, even though me and my future wife were in secure jobs and could demonstrate we had been saving for in excess of 2 years well in excess of what the monthly payments that would be required for the mortgage we needed, we had a devil of a job getting one. The fact that since then those in the private sector 'handling' our money have gradually made credit more and more easier to the point both Governments and ordinary people were living more and more 'on tick' is what has caused the present mess. So yes, I do get concerned when I see those who have, or are doing very nicely out of what has been faciliated by the banks and succesive Governments, bemoan those not so fortunate finding themselevs less well off through no fault of their own. They are the ones taking the biggest hit on their incomes. Probably like most on here that post, I suspect, in order to keep a reasonable standard of living going rather than having a very very comfortable standard of living that is enjoyed by those who can usually dictate or control their own income and have access to good accountants. But then I come back into reality and know that nothing is 'fair' in this world and whatever I think or say ain't going to change anything, but at least I got it off my chest
