  1. It's probably doing you a favour. Either that or your Mrs has hacked ebay itself.
  2. Plumbase have just rang. It's plate day at Newcastle racecourse on the 25th of June and they have a marquee.I and partner have been invited for a four course meal, free drink all day and night, afternoon tea and Pete Tong on in the tent at night.Just so happens I'm fifty on the 25th too. Canny birthday treat.
  3. Yes, it's their own stupid fault. If they'd rather ignore the signs and not take a detour then fuck them. Anyone know how far the detour is out of curiosity?
  4. My 2011 107 had all new brake lines two years ago just before I bought it. Another common foible then.
  5. There's a place near me that rebuilds them and do a great service. They removed and rebuilt my transhit gearbox, fitted a new clutch and flywheel for £1250 iirc. All done in two days. https://austrin-engineering.co.uk/
  6. They are cool af though. I might just get them set in a display case for the mantle piece.
  7. I paid £160 for some Oakleys recently under duress from gf because I never treat myself. I haven't worn them yet in case I drop them or someone pinches them off my face. Not one of my best decisions. I still wear my £3 work ones when ever I go out.
  8. It turned 40k when I was in Scotland picking the C90 up. They put it on the diagnostic when they freed off a sticky rear calliper. The code said in tank pump but they said as it was running okat nust to leave it. Got some magnets made up for it too.
  9. Mine didn't have a rev counter (does now) but does have electric windows and remote central locking. It also has these black wheel trims which I thought were after market but apparently they are genuine pug. I paid £700 at a mates body shop to have a full respray as the body was starting to look a little bit rough after ten years on the street. I've also upgraded the four speakers which improved the sound loads. It is bright red not pink!
  10. That's not allowed!! I really need to go and see what's happening with the 300c. He's had the fucker since before Christmas. I miss not having a toy.
  11. Is the aldi still behaving? The van has a slight miss now and then when full throttle in 6th. I'm hoping to fuck it's the in tank pump causing it. I'm getting it changed when the mot is due in a couple of weeks. I love it though. It's ten times better than that shitty custom that isn't even fit for purpose. Calling that a van is libelous.
  12. How much you wanting for that merc? Asking for a friend..
  13. Get it in the air and try and rust proof the cills. I must do my own at some point. I've seen a few badly patched. My clutch is also quite high but I'm used to it. I must look at adjusting it. If yours doesn't have a rev counter they're around £60 on ebay and are plug and play. I love mine and it's driven flat out everywhere. Go kart handling too. I had a full front to back exhaust fitted in mine yesterday for £230. I fitted new discs and pads last year. They were only £50 to buy iirc.
  14. £92 to insure it this morning. Took it down the priory in Tynemouth in the van to get a picture. Don't have my cbt you see.
  15. I've met @gm on numerous occasions and he's actually a nice guy.
  16. A quick look on the mot history and it's pretty clean although 160k on it. I offered him £500 but he declined. Cunt.
  17. A mate's just paid £400 for this. 2.0tdi quattro. He was messaging yesterday to see if I had any smoke bombs for the air intake so it must be fucked in some way 🤣
  18. I've no idea. I saw it a while back and it brought back a lot of happy memories. I had a spare few quid after selling the transhit so I thought why not. I'm going to be running around on it short term. No idea yet whether I'll sell it later or just garage it for the future.
