High Jetter Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Yup, that's what I heard too. Even in the UK, booking a car with Avis from Gatwick for a week is a minimum of £805.71, though may be cheeper through comparison sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyrew Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 And home, A great laugh with a friend, some good grub and a beer later, We are back. 26 or so miles later, my arse hurts and im feeling rather unfit. But £35 quid on two old bikes was money well spent. While its a bit small for him my mates taken his bike home and it will get a clean up and live on with him. My bike performed good enough, okay so im not able to select 5,10 or 15th gear but still it made it, i did however purchase one of those gel covers for the seat at a wilko in hemel. I May chuck that on my other bike thats kept at my parents. ive no use for mine and nowhere at the flat to keep it (currently shoved in a bush at the side of my home) Anyone want a free bike? Ill chuck an ad on here but as its worth nowt i feel it will just end up re donated. 10/10 would recommend doing this with a friend. neil1971, catsinthewelder, Tenmil Socket and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall a decent but older bike, univega alpina 501 seems to be from the mid 90s with a chromoly frame. Fancy!

Sunny Jim Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 @Andyrewcould you donate the bike to local foodbank? Someone needing their services might appreciate free transport. Where are you based? I grew up in Harpenden so spent many happy* hours doing school cross-country runs along the Nicky Line and through Rothampstead Park (it was better than playing rugby which was the other option).

I grew up in dunstable and recently moved to a wee flat in harpo town near the train station. It will probably end up donated again but ill try here first incase someone wants it.

The hire car AXA are providing me with while they sloooowly make their minds up about what they want to do about our car apparently is only costing €30 per day, albeit without insurance. I'm surprised they were willing to provide it for that price, although I suppose it's a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meggersdog Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 There is a sign by the entrance to my workshop that reads : Do not distract the tester : Yesterday afternoon some knobhead is hanging around at the entrance I asked if I could help. "what's the deal with nextdoor ?" "they've got a van for sale " okay I asked if he'd phoned the number on the sign. He shows me a photo on his phone.Yeah but no reply " this is so and so business park " yes it is " and that's number 8" err no that's number 6 there s a number 6 on the door and a window. The sign out front reads unit 6. Number 8 are out on a job probably won't be back until six o'clock. So after a vacant look he buggers off and I go back to testing. Spoke to the guys at number 8 this morning. They sold the van a year ago. This bright spark had been looking at a facebook advert from a year ago.

To be fair folk often don't delete their ads and it's not immediately obvious on mobile how old an ad is-"over a month old" is as much as it gives you. No excuse for bothering you though.

Bren Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Doing some crabbing in Torquay. Threw the net in - not quick enough to grab the cord. Lost the lot.

gm Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 while i was unknowingly winning a roffle peugeot this evening, i went along to a local car meet - what a lovely bunch of folk, and a great selection of cars - i didn’t manage to take any pics of my own as busy chatting to but this video gives a good idea. first wednesday of the month, north east restoration club, washington, tyne and wear the Exo seemed to be getting lots of attention, i'm glad i took it along some pics nicked off their fb page Vantman, Joey spud, Dyslexic Viking and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
