  7. some nice cars you got there especially that mk1 gti, im a mk1 gti fan, had lots of them some years ago.

  15. could do with some old skyway mags they were meant to be indestructible
  16. my mountain bike is a Giant Terrago 2009 model i think i know ive had it a while. Just put new forks on it, big disc conversion on front and some other bits n bobs. Hey Hebby one mans garbage is another mans treasure, i think i may have lobbed them out a few years ago ive never had a folding bike but i remember bombing round on something exactly the same just not folding, i crashed mine down a "massive" hill as well and bent the frame Been working on the green one today, got 3" of snow so nothing else to do, its getting near road worthy.
  17. we go away a lot in the caravan, the kids always take their bikes and sometimes i take our mountain bikes, but our bikes can be a pain to lug about, and i dont like leaving my bike in the awning or caravan while we go out. So i thought i might buy a couple of new folding bikes, when i spotted these on ebay under 5 miles away and thought what the hell, i love getting old stuff working again. The guy had them on for auction starting at
  18. i like looking through this thread, there are some simply stunning photos. i may get good one day note to self, "get camera out more often"
  19. fill it with water add an egg cup full of viniger and a good squirt of lemon juice, boli it a couple of times, empty fill with water boil it, empty and you should be good. as far as this thread goes, everything bugs me i regularly get called a grumpy git
