Merry Christmas guys  !!!!!

Watch out for the invisible man that pushes you down after too many bevvies

Merry christmas all. finished work Friday and dont go back till the 7th Jan, benefit of working in the building industry ? so already have had plenty of beer and will have a hell of a lot more  ?

I'm off til the 7th of Jan too. Hope everyone working or not has a really safe and happy Christmas! ?

I love the Hong nors, X1 pro's. Hyper is almost as good, benefit is spares are easier to get new. 

Really need to get a hyper soon! Will start looking for a project after Christmas 

Yeah I think my X1 Pro feels marginally better quality than my H7's, not necessarily stronger, just a little more refined, looks more expensive (and probably was back in the day).

Code is: PEACHY ?

evening buddy  

Evening y’all ? 

We got very lucky, the ghetto flat new tenants gave me the game all straight up. So lucky this time. Mayb karma lol. 

I found 280 in a cash point after seeing the woman storm away from it. I just shouted her and pointed. A week later i saw her again on the bus. Turns out shes a neighbour lol plus was a neighbour at the old address too. 

I stunned an old guy in his tracks lol. 

Turns out my ebay money off vouchers were probably bcos i hadnt used the account since 2016 and only ever brought one item. Sold 1 item. 

I saw a £10 voucher i thought i used but didnt have the code thinking it was auto. 

But last week saw another for 15 and the code so took a pic of it luckily cos i never found it again. 

Ill update it and leave it another two yrs. 

Small consolation - spoke to eBay chat - they linked me to a different feedback summary and I was able to leave neg feedback - they claimed there's a bug on my purchase history page that doesn't allow me to leave feedback for cancelled sales.....

Karma - seller who cancelled this morning - parcel arrived this afternoon - addressed to me, but with a shipping note / receipt attached in a clear pocket - with someone else's details - low and behold other persons item is inside.... I've messaged the seller to advise them they've breached the GDPR.... and I have their item which there welcome to pay for return postage for.

Bargain.  I had red, though blue is also nice.  Black doesn't seem to suit it in my opinion.  

Yeah I was torn between the red and blue, red more period correct, but as I won't be applying decals I thought the blue looked particularly nice plain.

strange thing is the ebay email confirmed the 30 quid discount but the PP confirmation I just had through stated the full price... Why isn't anything ever simple.

Strange, PP email said 195 to be debited from account, but when I actually logged into PP, it showed the two separate trucks (different sellers) at the correct discounted price...  Saves me the pulling teeth scenario of contacting ebay/PP for a refund ?

Gutting for anyone paying near on twice that though.  

Same for anything though, when it goes on offer, it's usually me who has just bought it at full whack  

Tower hobbies were doing Deadbolts for £116.00

Lmao.... This made me laugh.... We have charger Thief in our house....it's the invisible Man I reckon, as when I ask... It seems no one is responsible

Most annoyed! There's a pot in the utility room with USB plugs in, no charge lead as they all have their own. Must be ten, twelve plugs in yet the only turbo 12v charger has walked. Bar my nexus no one's devices can even use it so it'd be functioning as a 5v standard one anyway. Buyer has been a star so no harm done bar two hours wasted turning the man cave, lounge, utility and bedroom upside down searching for it. 

welcome to windows....

Carpmarts M5 is a beast, It would be worth every penny.

Knowing Harvey's love for all things shiny and fast i'd imagine beast is an understatement!

yeah its lovely they wheels sit so nice on it, personally i can appreciate modern cars but being a petrol head my heart will always lay with the classics which makes picking a sensible daily for myself a nightmare have found myself owning 20+ cars in a year and a huge headache. currently settled for a Mazda 3 MPS Practical, Fast and reliable but sucks on MPG

low offer or scammer

Low ball of £20 for a £50 item - thing is I have half the £50 combo (2 items) listed for £26, and often get offers of £20.  I didn't read it fully (ebay mobile app) - so countered with £23.  Posted single item this morning, went to relist this afternoon and realised the mistake.  Sent buyer a message, offered a full refund inc postage, or a £5 disc to keep item or offered to send the other part for another £10 - i'm still loosing but i've 100% feedback since yr dot and am very annoyed to risk it.  Buyer so far is being very reasonable...

A few... that's being generous.

Yeah... £220 I'd buy one and worry about it later... I know I should get that if I decide to sell my Bomber, which I probably am going to... Hmmm, cogs turning.

There is a 10% off code Hobbyking10 brings it down to £229 

That’s my Xmas present sorted  

Back before I decided to run newer cars with warranty's my local MOT place were always fair. Need a number plate bulb? Yh it passed, bulbs on the seat, fit it yourself.  My experience of sandicliffe is no better than stratstone BMW before this, all a cash grab from them. Bought that £13k pre reg from us... Yup we'll wring you so hard for cash you won't come back. Seems a crappy way to do business.

Funny thing rushboy last year the only rectification work was a wiper blade..... They serviced first that time, refused to NOT MOT before I could get over after work to swap it and thus I paid £25 for the privilege of new dealer wiper blades to save a fail, and the 2hr round trip for a retest.

Nitroholic - ditto

There's a reason their nicknamed stealerships....

Late 2013 - have an odd noise at speed, only noticed this week but I usually have stereo a bit loud.  I think it's road noise, starts about 60 then gets louder to somewhere past 75 then settles.  Dropping the clutch and freewheeling makes no difference so I assume that means it's nothing (major) gearbox / engine.

Uneven tyre wear? Pressures way out?

Equally worn ( only ever replace pairs ) - my little digital gauge had them spot on - was my first port of call - rubber band tyres so can be easy to miss such things.

This is where i'm at.  I've shot the seller a message - I'm a small business myself - don't want to be petty - so long as there response is reasonable i'll leave positive but mention the dispatch time etc - if not it'll be a negative.  eBay didn't even give me the option of clicking 'did this item arrive before.....' like they usually do.

if it's free P+P  then the arrive time option goes away

Im in similar after ordering drive shafts for my mauler pickup, ordered from one seller, it arrived last saturday took a week to arrive, wrong part, kicked of with that seller and now waiting for parts from different seller....one day i will get it working

Wow Gaz, done well there.

There were 4 rigs in total, last 4 to be called out and me and daughter won first three on trot, last one was a Rc4wd gelande 2 110 defender.

Just need to get them packed away now....

I'd imagine a lot of other envious drivers!

I'd love to go, work commitments this wend unfortunately! Looking forward to the pics!  

Ooh me sir, I shall be there 

@Tug

The yellow one on the right. It was at an official ROSSA event so I'd assumed it's been filmed but I've not seen any footage yet.

I’ve been to Rossa a few times and they don’t always film the runs, they have 2 calibrated timers so that’s proof enough 

Martin is on here, though doesn't frequent much and I've forgotten his username.  You'll note a few key changes from stock just in the photo above but in essence it's a VS.

Who's this?

Thankfully no one on here!

@Nitroholic I would say that I support a referendum on the final deal, as we will have a few more facts and certainties, instead of blindly going into the unknown. 

If remain had won by such a small margin I don't think there would have been as much uproar due to the fact that things would have continued like they were before the referendum. People are annoyed due to the lack of clarity and leadership.

If you remember, May only kept her job as PM by buying support from another party, magic money tree I suppose.

We pay in to the EU and we get a lot of benefits along with that. It may not be a perfect system but much better to try and change things whilst still a member.

Also as stated there have been many referendums over the years, about various different subjects, and they are not legally binding in many cases.

A no deal Brexit is looking like a very possible reality, so when there is no medicine available for the sick, and no food on the shelves of supermarkets (short term problems) please do tell me it was all worth it. Again this might not happen, but the government are stockpiling certain medications in the event that it does, doesn't exactly instill confidence in the whole thing...

Oh and Democracy means you can vote for things over and over again. So the democratic thing to do is allow the people to have the final say, at least then there will be more information and clarity as to where we stand.

So we have a no deal? Why do people assume the apocalypse follows? Better no deal than a bad deal.

Every decision our parliament makes affects us. We had no referendum about starting illegal wars in Syria, in Libya and in Iraq. We had a referendum on Brexit.....now you want a referendum on how we Brexit. What will your next referendum be on? Surely we should have had a referendum on buying two huge aircraft carriers at the cost of billions for which we have no planes...and the planes we planned for them are not available.....

The issue is not that we need a referendum. We don't.

The issue is you, and many others, have absolutely no confidence in the professional politicos in this country to perform the only task they are paid to do. Namely run the country. We do not need referendums if our political system reflects the will of the people, as it should.

That's everyones fault who does not vote EVERY time there is an election. Which is about 65% of the population.

Incidentally..I voted remain. But I would not do so again.
