  1. Well that all sounds lovely but I've seen and heard of people getting sacked so many times for no reason at all and because these people had no written contract they couldn't prove that they weren't a temp or just filling in for xxx amount of time. It's quite simple, if it isn't written on paper it can't be proved. It's the same as a verbal contract which in this age when peoples word means so little to them unfortunately means nothing. I lost my job with a tree surgeon when I was younger, he dropped a branch on my head so I needed time off. When i tried to go back to work he had replaced me without even telling me and he refused to give me my job back. I went to see a solicitor and I was told the exact same thing I said above after he had had a chat with my employer... No written contract means that my employer could deny I was a full time payee, he said he employed me for the summer only. That wasn't what he told me, I was a permanent employee that he invested a lot of money in but because I needed time off because he injured me, he lost buisness so I lost my job because he got narkie. A written contract would of had my terms of employment layed out in them but I didn't have one so it was my word against his and he was a buisness owner. I was a teenager. I don't care what the law website "says" I've been there and done it. I've seen employment laws fail many times. Because we all know the law is always right a never fails don't we. *insert massive sarcasm here*
  2. But not having a written contract gives you no legal protection, they could deny he even works there if they wanted too. My personal advice would be dependant on your job. Obviously if it is skilled or unusual then you have a slight advantage when it comes to talking to the boss if not and any mickey mouse could do your job you need to be more wary. Not having a written contract means they can't place any provisions on your employment I.e anti competition etc. But it also means they can give you the boot when and if they want to for any reason without fear of reprisals (at least legal). The big question is what job do you do and does it require any formal qualifications?
  3. I can't remember where I saw it (I'm sure it was one of those police reality shows) but the police "CLAIM" around 70% of all homeless people are there by choice! Quite how that works I don't know but I remember hearing this pork say it as clear as a bell.

      haha liam (and me) loves that cartoon :P

  5. I think Il go with a similar setup to yours if that's ok bud? I have irc shocks and mounts too but mine are black. As for the throttle linkage I'm really not 100% what's stopping it from working. I know the tvps are wider than stock so some of the linkage parts were rubbing on the roll cage (I fitted the stock plastic roll cage, I now have an ally handle though so no more rubbing) but for some reason the carb won't open finder the strength of the servo even though its an upgraded high torque servo. Il,post a vid up soon to show you what I mean. It drove me mad so I gave up. Poor savage for I knew him well.... What?? Lol
  6. Has Looked and is looking really good buddy. I've still not been able to use my savage since going to irc extended tvps, I can't get the throttle linkage to work now. I know if I could get the ofna throttle mod it would work fine but I can't find the parts any where :-( How did you mount that spoiler on there chap? I'd love to mount a spoiler on mine but again, the mod kit that was recommended was being made in 2007-2008 and I can't find the parts any where. So sad, my savage went back in its original box and I can't fore see a time it will come out again because of the stupid b****y throttle linkage. Sad for my savage :-( it was only ever used 3 times from brand new :-(
  7. I got two. 1 for rc bits and bobs and the other for normal tools. 2years? That's some offer lol my hand held tool box cost me more than these 2 tool boxes combined, I was shocked when I saw the price and even more shocked that they are a good brand. They are well made aren't they. Really good for the money. I can't get over the fact they have been "offer" (I love never ending offers) for 2 years.
  8. You could get an aluminium under tray? This design isn't my cup of tea but I can see the appeal and I think its the first time I have not found stickering ugly.
  9. I saw this when in b and q so thought I'd share with you lot. I'm not sure if its as cheap as I think it is but I think its proper cheap...

  10. My two biggest tips for soldering (that haven't been mentioned) are.... 1. Use a natural sponge not those cheapo ones from Wilkinson as they will just melt and stick to your soldering iron tip. 2. If you are soldering something that is connected to a heat sensitive part I.e. plastic conectors.. use a heat sink. I use a pair of grip tweezers like these http://www.shesto.co.uk/p4469/Reverse-Action-Fibre-Grip-Tweezers---Straight/product_info.html attach those just up from the heat sensitive part and the tweezers will absorb most of the heat so you don't melt your deans connectors etc.
  11. Sorry to go off topic but what is a pit bike?
  12. My gt3c should arrive tomorrow. Need to sell my other radios now.
  13. Yeah but they were still official uber bumpers regardless of who sold them to me so I could of got exactly the same thing if I had ordered direct. I'm not happy with the front bumper either now I have looked at it closely, il post pictures up tomorrow so hopefully someone can confirm that mine is a bodge. If It's not I don't reckon much on their quality control to be honest. The thing is It's going to cost me money to send them back (the uber owner asked me to return the bumper so he can have a look) and considering they are quite pricey in the first place I could end up with some very expensive bumpers that if he says nothing is wrong with them, are of low quality. If he decides they are a second that has slipped through Q.C. some how then I still end up with expensive bumpers. They do look nice though :-)
  14. I will have the filter cover please. I can only do a bank transfer though is that ok?
  15. If you still have the blue lights and the shock covers in 4 weeks I will have them from you.
  16. A silver lining to every cloud, I like it!
  17. It does look easy buddy but I only have one functional arm (tore the ulnar nerve in right arm. Irreparable so legally classified as disabled) so what is easy for the able bodied becomes quite the ball ache for me lol.
  18. Will I experience the same problem with rear wheels or are they held on differently?
  19. Thank you topper. Legend. Does nitroholic make and sell them then hebby?
  20. The worst thing I ever did was link my bank account to paypal. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone but then again I wouldn't recommend paypal either. I won't use it ever again.

  24. Hi. Today I got to drive my baja for the first time and it was a blast..... For all of 7ish minutes. While turning the right front wheel goes rolling off in a completely different direction to the rest of the car. When I got to it I found that a (is it a c clip or an e clip?) Clip, the clip that holds the wheel on, had come off and was no where to be found hence the wheel fleeing like an escapee convict. Obviously I don't have a spare so again I can't use my baja :-( and I have absolutely no idea what size this clip was. I know there is another on the other wheel but I don't know It's part no. Or anything. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix for this? Where can I find the part info so I can get a new clip? PLEASE HELP ME!!
