      Google did indeed change things. I think I've disabled them but they might still appear if cached... I'll give it a day and see, let me know if they've stopped for you.

      Sorry about this it looks like Google has changed something without me knowing, I'll sort it ASAP.

  4. Hi guys not been on for  ages love to know who still on forum from  back in the day baja bashing 

  5. hey guys

     

    anyone invested in anything? lets say i have 100k, what would you lot invest in for growth? been reading alot about this but still quite confusing. in a nutshell, you lock your money for about 20 years then you can either get the money out yourself or the money can go into your bank weekly. i think that is right.

      Nice to see sensible answers and not crypto. :lol:  I've also read and heard property is the way to go but the tax/stamp duty is crazy for a 2nd property and the market is high at the moment. Paying off or part of your existing mortgage if you have one always seemed like a good idea to me too, frees a lot of monthly income.

  6. MSUK stickers  how long do they  normally take to show up

  7. just started a very strict diet.  I don't really eat fruit or veg.  But just had celery for the first time  i think i can handle it twice a week. I do eat beetroot  now and again and i like it.  So got some beetroot juice to try.  Holy mother of god  it tasted bad  im trying to force a glass of it down.

      Beetroot juice is rancid, not as bad as Aloevera juice though, my days that is vulgar.

       

      Celery is great with salad cream to dip it in, or cream cheese! Or is that not allowed? :lol:

      The forum is due a big update which includes some improvements specifically for spam accounts, but I just want to wait a week before doing the update to see how stable it is. :good:

  9. Rather like the new Modelsport layout. Works great on mobile!

      @PraetoR Yeah I created the new Modelsport site. 🙂  Okay I kind of see what you mean, I think it would look strange with the images centered though? It's tricky with large monitors. Have you tried the grid view, this might work better for you? If you click the squares icon next to the drop down Best Selling.

      Thanks for the feedback guys, @turok007, @PraetoR - could you show a screenshot or explain more what you mean by this? There shouldn't be any horizontal scroll bar. Thank you. 🙂

  11. Blimey, the GUI is way more tidy when gold. Wish I had gone gold sooner. Thanks MSUK - Cracking community here and I've made some really cool new friends 😁

  12. Just finished my second day in my new job since being made redundant earlier this year.  Feels good to be back in work.

  13. Where can I get a sheet of white PVC like used in roof surrounds and guttering? Need to patch a few old pipe holes.

  14. First day back on the 9-5 😭

  15. Just had an email that Makeitbuildit are stopping their welcomeback 5% off code this Sunday.

  16. Anyone else think YouTube adverts are getting a bit too much recently?

    1. Nick

      Nick

      I would get premium if it was less than £6, I can't justify the price it is at the moment. Netflix and Prime are the same price!

  17. Anyone had a UPS delivery lately?

    My Hero9 Black is supposed to be here today and just had a notification, due to Brexit 'complications' it isn't being delivered today, there's now basically no tracking information available and no scheduled delivery date or anything.

    Before calling UPS, just thought I'd ask.

    1. Nick

      Nick

      Neither are UPS. :lol: They might of just not scanned it somewhere. Is it asking for you to reschedule it? I've seen them ask this but they want a reference they put through your letter box (which doesn't always happen by the driver...).

      This sometimes happens if the retailer has created the consignment but UPS hasn't collected and/or scanned it.

      These are actually a good buy! Seen one in person and they get good feedback.

  19. What's happened to status updates?

  20. Is it normal for Traxxas to put so much threadlock onto something you can't actually do it up?

    I bought the 17mm hex conversion kit for my Senton, I can't tighten the wheelnuts up, there's simply too much threadlock on the threads, already knackered one wheelnut and before anyone comments, I DIDN'T cross thread it, it goes on by hand smoothly and fine up until it hits the threadlock... Tried melting it off and sanding it off, with no luck, it's like welded on there.

      I've used Hot Racing stuff before too, aluminium diff cup and it shattered into pieces, unusually brittle!

  21. Why do people have to use red threadlocker at places where it is impossible to take the screw out???? Now I have to dismantle the whole rear, cut out the axle cup, just because the previous owner had to use red instead of blue. This just makes me furious. Spent all evening to find a way to get it out.

      You could take apart diff housing and then the diff, remove the diff output and replace with a new one? Saves all the farting about. 🙂

  22. "Flash" Gordon Shedden back in BTCC!! :insane:

     

    Now we just need Mat Jackson to confirm his return and for Tingram to be competitive in his new Hyundai and I'll be a very happy bunny!

    Also, seeing the Subaru back would be great, but that won't happen.

  23. Old 2wd Stampede XL5 found at my parents, what to do with it? Needs a thorough rebuild so...? 

    Also found a early 1/10th HPI E-Savage and Tamiya Street Rover XB. Old me was a hoarder lol.

  24. By the looks my DB Pro, dispatched on the 25th, is still in the US and just arrived at the export centre due to weather stuff. 😞

     

    Guess i gotta buy a Typhon 6s then to tie me over.
