Re: Mountain Biking general thread

Is anyone looking for a new bike? 30% off all Vitus bikes at Wiggle/Chain Reaction. I know they aren’t the trendiest bikes around but they are very well equipped for the price. I’ve got the Vitus Zenium road bike with carbon frame and Shimano 105 which is now reduced to £840, absolute bargain.

Re: Your fleet running reports

I opened the bonnet on our motorhome for the first time in months yesterday and found rat droppings on the top of the engine :evil: No sign of any chewed bonnet insulation or wires so I'm hoping it was a fleeting visit, wishful thinking maybe. I've purchased an ultrasonic thing and a bottle of peppe...

Re: Today’s want

Who fancies driving it from Southall to Sheffield for me? :D If you're serious, and want to cover my fuel costs + a McDonalds lunch, I could trailer it to you. I've a soft spot for Scimitars and have time on my hands atm, it'd be good to see it saved. (petrol Cayenne @ not much over 20mpg when towi...

Re: Remote Controlled Cars

I've just bought a Traxxas TRX4M Defender for the boy, and it's epic 8-) I've been looking at crawlers for the last year and do like the look of these. The internet says they have a weird steering issue where lock is better one way than the other. Probably not noticeable for the average (me) user :)

Re: The Watches Thread

It's the later model, on a rubber strap. My rubbish photos don't do the watch face justice so I won't bother :)

Re: The Watches Thread

I think my Seamaster 300m is my favourite watch. It might get relegated from use when I buy a new watch but once the newness wears off that I usually return to the Seamaster on a regular basis.

Re: Top Boy final series

I watched the final episode last night and also thought the ending was a bit rubbish, almost as bad as No Time To Die. I did enjoy the series though and it's a shame there won't be another.

Re: MX5 test drive

The handling is a bit roly poly as standard so I had the Mazda/Eibach 30mm lowering springs fitted to mine. Much less roll and of course an improvement in the looks too.

Re: MX5 test drive

If you like grey then Polymetal Grey is nice but very rare. Also, Soul Red is different from Soul Red Crystal although I don't think Soul Red is available on the mx5 184.

Re: MX5 test drive

I bought the RF as I prefer the look of the coupe over the pram hood ;) To be honest I would still have bought the RF even if the roof didn't lower.
