Just realised - First Day of Summer today
stanski replied to stanski's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Sounds like the Trafford Centre on a Saturday afternoon -
yeah a fellow Night Blue owner - so your THE OTHER one then? Yippee!!! Only reason mine is swirly is that its a former demo - if I had it from new it would'nt be swirly at all - not bothered now its there to be enjoyed not stressed over with .... just enjoy it and dont worry First service and front pads already???? Is it yours from new or ex demo?? That sounds a bit steep ? Its £212 for my P1 and about £230 I think for the next one in a few weeks time?? BTW - front pads from Brakes International £20 set, rear £18 per set - figure that one then! Not biased in anyway but stick with the Zed - and talk about rare Night Blue -just dont do a bank job will you or leave some illicit club in the early hours - it will be easy to spot you - ha ha ha Mind you they will think its black anyway

Of course its Peeing it down - ah its nice to know that no matter what else changes - £50 for a thimble of petrol or £20 for a crumb of bread - it will always rain in this country during Summer

Thanks Martin - Drew mentioned Auto glym stuff but as a former trimmer I still never fold the roof even when damp -it weakens the fabric as it streches and eventually will cause premature failure - i.e leaks!!!! -

Well yes you are correct unfortunately a rare day with roof up - it was sopping wet when I left home - never drop the roof when wet can damage the fabric long term. -
Hi KJS to the forum - thanks for that info - Great so thats 2 days without my Zed longest we will have been apart !! Wonder if its really been subcontracted to Alfa Romeo or something it seems to live its life in the Dealer network at the moment! BTW is yours a roadster or coupe KJS??

Yeah I know that now mate - when I was buying the thing I asked where is the bluetooth connection how does it work and he sadi oh sorry Roadsters dont have them fitted !!! Fekin Nissan but then you cant hear a thing in the roadster so it makes sense I think - anyway - why be distracted by the phone when I can listen to that fab engine -

Photographers -bargain of the century - ASDA Queensferry
stanski replied to stanski's topic in Off Topic Discussion
Yeah I know thats the one but for me with where I work etc and fuel etc it would cost me I was their anyway the £11 difference is immaterial to me. Its a nice Camera - everyone goes for Canon and Nikon - to be really honest and its my own personal choice as I have been a Pentax fan for years there is nowt much in it - you pay through the nose for Nikon and Canon sorry folks just my opinion - When I decided to break into digital SLR's I looked at Canon and to be really brutally honest the build quality was pants to me - the lense wobbled for goodness sakes and the same for Nikon - stupid money I have no reason to spend that sort of cash I am not a professional photographer, but I have covered 4 weddings for people , I have been to Venice, Scotland (all weathers) skiing in -30 conditions and the Pentax has never let me down - its built like the proverbial brick convenience - magnesium chassis with decent outer shell , thats the istDS this 100D super is a revised updated version which is a little chunkier and heavier but has new procesor etc much quicker than my own - anyway £200+ for this is a steal! Why buy a compact for similar money - when you have the flexibility of using all the Lenses Pentax made from the 1950's, ok you have to consider the difference in 35mm and digital of course but come on - I use my old 35mm film lenses - quality is superb -just make sure they are autofocus or just flick to manual mode for the older ones results are great - failing that just leave it auto mode - point and squirt! Sorry went on a bit there.. all you professional photograghers are probably laughing at this but who cares its one of my past times not my profession. Hopefully these should last me the next few years and only when I go full frame digtal will I buy again ! Still have my dads 1958 Voijtlander Prominent Rangefinder camera - and quality is better than any camera I have ever used today - what does that tell you ..... Oh considered the Leica range but just buy the Panasonic versions instead - your paying for the brand name folks dont be mugs! If you want to see pics just look at any I have posted (well some have been with the phone - but Scotland pics and Wales and Donut run are the istDs camera - here is one from the new one the other day - when I was trying it out. Auto mode on no photoshop work just resized - fresh out the box particulary grey and overcast dull day! -
If your into Pentax SLR's like me or just after a decent easy digital SLR as maybe your first camera in this field read on......... Been into Pentax cameras for years - always good build and lenses better than a lot of the other brands, anyway got the istDS when it came out about 4 years ago - cost me a fortune , 6.1 Mega pixel - ok so thats nowt these days as the new top spec Pentax is 14 Mega pixels - great but how often are you going to use that - exactly sod all! Anyway to cut a long story short - mine was replaced a few years later by some warmed up versions with a few toys and new better bits, so been keeping an eye on the Pentax K100D super which ASDA sell think it was originally something like £500-600 when new -£349 ASDA has had it on offer for a while now still is that price when you walk around ASDA stores- however at Queensferry its now reduced to £260 as they are not selling cameras and want to shift it!! Thats not the display model but a proper film wrapped fresh box with standard kit lense 18-55mm - Bargain or what! so new toy then - its supposed to be my backup camera - as the other cost me so much more I dont always take it with me - however been playing with new one and although not much different damn thing is faster than old one and better colour definition! Thought I would let you know - they have 2 left in boxes plus display model - cheaper than those 'icckle compact toy cameras for Children

I think its a case of my word against his - I should have noted more number plates of people he harrassed this morning but I was busy trying to watch where I was driving - just because I have a performance car does'nt mean I drive like a d***! -
Mates in a band and I did'n know it - check them out not bad
stanski replied to stanski's topic in Off Topic Discussion
I think they have only been going 5 minutes so give them time to develop - Kevs actually a really nice chap I did'nt even know he was in a band - very much the LEd Zep kinda dude.... I've not seen them yet but something tells me I will - I already offered to do some photos for them at a gigg! Not sure if I will go in the Zed that night though - depends on the type of crowd - my VW transporter it is then!! -
I dont normally do this but peopel like this need to get banned before they kill someone!!! RED AUDI A3 - Reg plate W99CAC (Apt plate actually) Driving in an aggressive manner - you know up peoples backsides about 2 inches from you - forcing you to pull over even though you and everyone else are doing a reasonble speed - he was not Police, Doctor, Secret Service , Armed response - just looked like a sales rep - proceeded to do the same to everyone in front of them! Dosgraceful - hope no one gets killed because of him! W****r!!!

Not bad really, first I heard about it - just sit back with a bacon sarnie and a bottle of durty beer and enjoy! -
I dont drink beer that much these days we are Pooosh in Bury (yes really) sipping my Rioja instead but fancied a change and first time I was out for ages - of course no kebab to sort me out later, well wanted to but would have missed last Tram home - thanks for deciding to walk me back when you did !!! Next time your in town I will give you a proper tour and of course your staying at Chez Stanski!
