    I fear for the future.......

    Here is what I do in said situation. Stare blankly...pause.....and then say in stern voice. "Shut up you blithering idiot" and go about my business. As stated some people should be ignored. But some you can't let a god opportunity to make them feel like an idiot.

    In the end let her call the police. Your not doing anything wrong by the sounds of it and hopefully the police will warn her about wasting police time.

    ANY GOOD GAMES

    The Game I have gone back to play again and again and again is F.E.A.R & F.E.A.R Extraction point on Pc tho, but its quite old now and will run well on any newish laptop or half decent desktop. In fact I am tempted to re-install it now and play it. :) 

     

    And Projects Cars. but that's not finished yet.

    Here's a suggestion, protect the phone or use an old redundant handset! 20141104_103057.jpg

    That clear enough? ;)

    The ulysses app is my preferred poison, works well for me.

    Did I mention that you must protect the phone? ;)

    Ouch!! That's not great but a good sturdy cheap phone case would have possibly avoided that outcome. Not that I do often use my s4 for this kind of thing. It has come off on several occasions at 60 odd mph and been fine. On grass obviously. I normally use an old cheapy.

    Hi all I've been cheaping it for two years now with 2 x 10 motives e cigs and just refilling the atomizer my self. (Proper cheapskate lol) but have done the job until now. There are bit haggard now, don't hold a charge, and are a bit hit & miss on the vape side.

    Any way I've upgraded to this now. http://www.totallywicked-eliquid.co.uk/products/electronic-cigarette-starter-kits/advanced-kits/tornado-ego-c/tornado-ego-c-classic-650mah-kit-product.html

    There local to me which is handy. It's been great so far I should have upgraded long ago.

    Assistance needed please.

    Hi nitro, i've done exactly that funnily enough. I tried sanding the exciting ribs down a bit but that's easier said than done and just kind of roughed up a bit. I've gone round twice with gorilla tape so hoping that will work,

     

    Agree with you there Optimus lol :)     They have 100% positive feed back so hoping they wont want to loose that. I've sent them pictures and a youtube clip of the VP Pro evo belted tyre's and what they should look like  

     

     I will give them a chance before I slate the hell out of them on ebay feedback and all over other forums. :tank:

     

     

    Ps... thanks for confirming my suspicions guys.  :thumbsup:

    Hi all.. Recently I brought some VP Pro evo 803 tyres to try and stop or reduce my tyre ballooning at speed. these were pre glued and I had no real idea if they were belted. The shop on ebay told me they were. So i had to do a few runs with them and they seemed to balloon as much as normal. So after several runs and the rims of the tyres were starting to come un-stuck I soaked them in Acetone to see what was inside.  They were not belted. :(

    So I've contacted the shop in Greece via ebay and he has offered me these at half price. But forgive if I am wrong but these are still not belted but just have a extra lateral bracing.

    from what I can see on Google images the belted tyres look like this.

    Can anyone put me right on this?

    Hong nor x1 t-bones?

    Not sure, its possible but you may have to make some adjustments like drill new holes if it dose not line up.  I reckon a better idea would be either these what I use  http://www.dms-racing.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=2539&virtuemart_category_id=247 

     

    Or failing that I would imagine the X1 CRT T bone bumpers would fit as the chassis are almost identical except in length. Tho looking at some pics of them the front one is quite wide and you may have trouble fitting it between your wheels and sill have any steering. But the rear X1 CRT one should work ok on the front of the buggy.   Sorry its no definitive answer.
