Looks like an idyllic place to live. [size=8]Just don't wear heavy boots if you're going out in the Omega.[/size]

Well, glad it got sorted out. A bit eye watering on the wallet though.

Might save a bit of tyre wear, but I wouldn't fancy changing all the bushes!

The cynic in me says that he's bringing in more tax revenue to the treasury than the average Joe so, whilst he's a bit of a rotter he's also good for UK PLC.
A bit like the third runway at Heathrow, us drivers of "gas guzzlers", etc..

In object to him being referred to as a 'Musician' in news reports
He's not, & for that matter neither are Drummers (the're just people to hang around Musicians!)
Well, don't knock it if it pays the bills with a bit left over for some boy's toys. This chap didn't do too badly out of idiotting a few skins with a couple of sticks.

Unfortunately I was born with as much musical talent as an angle grinder.

I was imagining something like a main spar in a lancaster bomber.
.. or having to fit windscreen wipers to the back window of the caravan and be VERY careful with the steering.

Yes, the estate is quite radically different from what I saw under Marie's car last weekend. Saloon towbar runs longitudinally, mounting on the bulkhead behind the front bumper and the rear crossmember by the diff.
Estate bar runs transverse and attaches either side behind the rear wheels.
Kevin
Sorry. Should have said Rear bumper.

Sounds like someone is sending spam spoofed from your address (not necessarily from your machine) and all the bounces are coming back to you.

I'm glad you are both OK. 
Sadly this sort of thing is under the radar unless a bobby just happens to be standing on the corner. Can't be caught on camera unfortunately. We can only hope he gets caught for something before he kills someone.

There is certain track days you can take it to V-Max do one. But the speed in which it gets to silly speeds is just rediculous!!!!! Last time we where out in it we out run a ducati 998 on the motorway i wont say what speed we where doing but it was fantastic and put gay biker boy in his place. He hasnt taken it to le man he has only just got it back cause some 87year old woman drove over the front of it when it was parked Ģ27500 worth if damage and she didnt even know she had done it!!!! Anyway its back now and is baisically a brand new car.
Before any do gooders for respect the speed limit dont do this and dont do that, i dont want to hear it, there was only us on the motorway end of story.
One of the guys I was talking to at Le Mans went through a speed trap in Belgium. They followed. He decided he was only a mile or two from the border and opened 'er up.
He later recieved a letter saying they clocked him by helicopter the wrong side of 200 MPH and that he's no longer welcome in Belgium.

No such thing as a good cordless alarm....much to easy to get round!
True. My parents have one of the better ones. Decided to give it a walk test before they went away on holiday and found out half the sensors had dead batteries. No indication at all. Just no alarm.

Good man nice to see you have your priorities right, I have just been down to Leeds not long ago to sort my mates garage out alarm with 127db master blaster siren burst your ear drums plus 4*8ft double flourecent lights it puts a spray booth to shame, but then it is to keep his 720BHP Ultima GTR warm and safe.
He He. I've even been getting away with a marine ply bathroom floor for about 2 years. Might have to give in and tile that soon though..
Ultima GTR?
Does he take it to Le Mans at all? Might have bumped into him if so. I often go to the same camp site (Chanteloup) that the Ultima club go to (in my Westfield). I can sometimes be found looking at their cars and druelling.
They are awesome bits of kit. Only thing that would put me off is that I can't think of anywhere (road or track) that you'd be able to give one of those a "proper spanking".
