Send me the cat, I'll wire you £50

I'll have two cats to dispose of if of interest. I plan to remove cat off of mine and use the spares car exhaust pieces to make a decat pipe so will have 2 2.0 hdi cats. Both not very old. Exact age though is unknown. Mines been on about 2 years I think.

You can buy dimmable remote control bulbs dirt cheap off eBay. I got 10 GU10 type complete with 2 controllers for £18. They can change colour if required and can be set to about 8 different intensities.

I don’t think the bulbs are replaceable

That’s a bit crap, on some you can get them out the back so might be worth a look.

Whereabouts you moving to?

 

Aberdeen.  Well, in the area so Inverurie, Banchory or Stonehaven probably.  Quite happy with that, lived in Aberdeen 2001-2004 so we know what it's like and have a few friends and acquaintances in the area still.

Its not been rat-looked, that's what the early ones look like now when no one empties them and they just rust and blow the powder coating off!

I need dimmers (house full of VERY bright LED downlighting in abundance which I have confirmed as dimmable) but I want smart control too ideally

Talk of RC elsewhere on here had me looking at them. I really like the detail in the chassis. It really is pukka chassis design in miniture and plastic.

I like to build one but would never use it so it would be a £200 ornament.

I think I could recreate one in Lego Technic.

For Valentines Day, why not buy your loved one a discounted oil filter?

Bub - is that breaker picasso a 90hp 2.0 ? They only break rockers when the belt goes . Not a massive job to fix

Yes,2.0 hdi. I was originally told it was head gasket but speaking to owner he said it starts and runs but when throttle pressed it pops through airbox which sounds timing related. It's been parked on grass for a year though. It's a long time to be stationary.

Council road sweeper goes past, one of the big ones. Comes back down and stops, the driver gets out and starts talking to Old Man who's under the 850.

Turns out he has a manual saloon 850 and lives in the house behind my old one.

Bought a VERY loud megaphone off someone I purchased an old bike off before. Tomorrow at work is going to be immense.

Had to rub my eyes and look again when I saw a red reliant 3 wheeler heading to the local tip, roof rack on with at least 3 big matresses and towing a trailer stacked higher than the car itself, was an unfucking believable sight but couldn't get a pic

I posted a while ago about an old blue colt hatch at a scrapyard near me with the intention of someone spotting it to save the parts, was glad to see it had been intensively stripped when I went at the weekend, any ideas who got them ?

Started with a shovel tonight and began reclaiming driveway from the grass.

Still needs cleaning but now it drains much better. Bloody St. Augustine grass.

 

Looks tidier too. Also took a section of turf and put it where the new mail lady likes to stamp on her brakes to put the mail in my neighbor's mailbox (which is, for some inexplicable reason, in my yard).

 

Slowly tidying up.

Should have used engine oil or banana skins.

Then she'd end up totally in my yard.

 

She drives a beaten up old mid 90's Jeep Cherokee, which isn't in the best mechanical shape.
