Best idea you stay in your gay area.

Today's bodge i am really pleased with. As you know I fitted some LED lights to the Beta, they have three functions, full power, reduced power and flashing which cycle in that order every time you switch them on and off. I thought i could live with it but it's bugged me the few times I've used them. After some research on line i find some info about disabling the flash function by soldering a 10k resistor across the C2 capacitor, resistors are cheep so i ordered some and they arrived today. I took the lights apart and the C2 capacitor is clearly marked It was a tricky job as everything is so small but i got the resistor soldered on And it bloody works every time i switch them on and off they come on at full power now but the three mode option is still available if you toggle the switch quicker than a second at a time which is also good because the Beta's charging circuit can't handle full power all the time but it ok at the lower power setting. Why the fuck these manufacturers think you need a strobe setting on lights is beyond me whats it for

Gave the bike a wash, then another one, then another one. It's looking oldish now, the mix of british wet roads and spanish motorway bugs was disgusting. Then washed the luggage, and the jacket is in the washer. A friend of Sofia gave us a little bit of a spice mix they use in Jordan, and now my rain overalls smell very exotic! Where is the "Pete washing machine" smilie when you need it?

I may upset the apple cart next month.

what do you call a ginger in a wheelchair... virgin mobile

What do you call a ginger in a porn movie the cameraman

what does a ginger do when he high fives a friend .... claps his hands

Thanks Caroline, I'm definitely getting the impression that he doesn't actually give a shit unless he makes money, I'll definitely be having it out with him tomorrow when I see him

@busabeast you avoided a head on collision and serious injury. That’s pretty cool driving. Yes stopping completely puts the law in your hands but sometimes you have to do the best with wot u got. And you did. Nice moves. Glad your ok. Your boss can do one!

I can’t hold my enthusiasm with expectations about what great pictures are going to be submitted in the next few hours!

No he just carried on, by looking on the bus tracker app it shows he was behind schedule so was obviously trying to make up some time ad driving like a cunt in the process I don't even do them kinds of speeds in the car let alone the truck

Dacia Logans and scooters.... im never coming to your town

wanker bus drivers fault , if you had to swerve.

Dereliction of duty Dave , you must do better

An old friend of mine used to have a mini and when his missus was driving he used to annoy her by pulling the handbrake up for some reason and then he got brand new Skoda Favorit and done the same handbrake thing, except the handbrake worked as it should in the Skoda the back wheels locked and his missus lost control of the car and spun into the crash barrier, they ended up in hospital luckily no one else was involved and they just had some minor cuts and bruises he never done that again

Sorry Bob, edited, I'll try harder next time.

I was torn between Six's and Sofia's, setting is important but at the end my vote went for Sofia. A fast bike traveling, and in the Mountain, gets my vote this month.

This is her natural hair colour i had to go back a loooong way for that photo Check out the plastic pig we had some fun in that lol

Says the man who's married to a ginger!

Still Waiting Something missing here

Welcome to my world.

Gingers aint allowed to go swimming in public pools

thats your village hall isn't it .. im deffo never coming to your town ... @Marcel is on his way though.

@Buckster was driving the bus .. he’s blaming you for losing the BOTM gig

I think you should have stopped Rich , bus drivers stop for no one even though they’re carrying human cargo

Swimming might be a bit too much cardio for someone who isn't used to it, too, you'll be finished in 5 minutes. Looking forward to the walk/cycle reports

Yeah in the bus drivers case

Working all day.......definitely be out tomorrow though.

Boomshakala ........................

We had Skoda Octavias as Doctors cars, now we have Kodiacs. Bloody good cars. Not without fault but our Octavias were hammered and not really serviced properly. Even so 10 cars over 5 years around 150000 miles each I think we only had 3 breakdowns and one burnt to the ground but that was user error.

As usual I've been watching tele most of the night. Kind of waiting for the MotoGP to come on I fell asleep and 5 and woke at 7.15ish so watched the last 8 laps of the sprint race. Shopping today along with painting the back gate/door. Tomorrow there's a vintage car event on Gorleston sea front,

Slightly? Part of VW for over 25 years and probably the best value for money cars on the market. Besides a Jap they'd be my first choice.

My car is fitted with a anti theft device on the front and back No self respecting crim would be seen dead in it!

Hmm another confirmed nut job joins the affray. Zzzak.. paging Zzzak, your people are assembling.

Still hoping for an enhanced sunset to bring this back to the golden days before all this negativity arrived.

Stop asking questions and just go take one of your 15 bikes out for a tide and take a picture. 1 picture!

Sorry master, it was ok

My youngest's 21st birthday so I'll be rolling down to Mugshots for a little bit of the secret library and some fine steak. You press a buzzer on a lamp post in the centre of Brizzle and get let into a tiny library shop front with a secret shelf/door. They appear from thin air and take you to their lovely hidden speakeasy. After some fine mixology you move two doors down to the restaurant where they take steak seriously. Looking forward to it. I found the worse pic of my son in his primary school rain coat with a tiny tiny rain hood that fitted no-one ever which I've had made into a stamp to adorn everything he touches. He looks proper mad.

Walking?

3 of them were only fit for the scrap yard while he owned them.... Original Mini, a iconic car, but now astronomical prices. I think you need a trip to Mathewsons Classic Car auction.

You think someone around here is squealing that you had it tuned?
