  1. We have two of our transits in work in the garage at the moment one with an add blue system fault and the other with the dash lit up like a Christmas tree, still waiting to hear what the issues are with them
  2. My old school friend had one of those when he was about 20, stripped the entire inside out fitted a roll cage and one bucket seat spent a fortune getting it tuned and then dumped the crankshaft out the through sump, i remember following the oil trail it left for a few months on my way home after its demise
  3. There must be something lost in translation here, left over beer? not sure such a thing exists
  4. Next time If you see a bright light walk towards it
  5. That was my plan with building the bike garage attached tothe house if either of us get to bad to go upstairs it will make a tidy sized bedroom
  6. But I drive one for work I don’t own one
  7. My alarm will be going off 3 hours after yours, so far this week I've slept right up till it went off and up to each of the three snoozes after it so i don't envy you
  8. I believe these bits of wording are a legal requirement on new bikes/cars registration plates now
  9. Some are the legal size ones for the dirt bikes got them after the plod booked me on the 650 just in case and others are spares as they get damaged now and again. The P171 with the left side missing is one i kicked off swinging my leg over the bike before i bought flexible ones (not as flexible as Pete LOL) it should go in the bin but it don't eat no drink so it got as far as there and stayed
  10. A friend of mine owns an engineering firm and bought two lathes for £100 I got offered the small one for free just before i bought the one i have. I would have loved to have had that instead but it was imperial and about 6ft long there would have been no room in my shed for me if that was in there as well, he's converted it to a CNC machine now and it works well. The old stuff are the best
  11. I don't know if we're allowed to have two men with vans on here
  12. Mirror mount complete need to get out and see if i can break it now Road riding Trail riding
  13. Hope she is ok Bob i was wondering where you had gone
  14. Anyone else think this is a clever way of advertising Motea and unit Garage without it looking like spam
  15. This is blatant pity vote touting @Buckster ban him
  16. I see lots of bikes pulling trailers to the motorcycle rallies now and have to admit i'm really jealous of the comfort they bring when camping usually see the older generation pulling them but it's something i just cant be bothered with it rolls all the disadvantages of a car and motorcycle into one vehicle bit like a trike or quad
  17. @boboneleg i only just noticed the white horse on the hill in your photo your scoring extra points with me now
  18. I wouldn't say the worst it hasn't got a topbox on so better than all the ones with a topbox
  19. Yes it's still all good the parts I've made with it don't have to be that accurate but if you take your time with it it is very accurate, the only complaints i have is there is no powered cross feed and there's some backlash in the feed controls i could modify it to take that out but i can work around it so haven't bothered. Oh and i should have got the newer model as it had variable speed drive rather than belts mines a potch to change speeds so one speed suits all LOL
  20. Surely that will be classed as photoshop then
  21. Yes your right there I've been looking at various attachments and for the simple job i had today it would have taken hours to change from turning to milling and back again. if i get a mill it will be a stand alone one so no setting up after the initial set up is complete
  22. Just a chinky one from Axminster works well, its an earlier version of this one, the one i got was discontinued years ago oddly enough just after i bought mine LOL https://www.amazon.co.uk/Axminster-Model-Engineer-Mini-Lathe/dp/B0791KM6ZS/ref=asc_df_B0791KM6ZS/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=375427856764&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14538861943846071947&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007453&hvtargid=pla-813232330013&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=82457261451&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=375427856764&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14538861943846071947&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007453&hvtargid=pla-813232330013
  23. There is a milling attachment for the lathe available but its too tall for the space i have it in, might have to move things about a bit
  24. That's the one machine i want to complete my workshop but don't have room for one
