  1. If you really don't fancy having a go at it yourself then try giving Andrew at Magma a call - he is based in Pumpherston, West Lothian. 01506 440144
  2. I've met John @ JKP - he was going to do my red blobeye but I ended up selling the bugger. Seems like a throughly decent chap who certainly appeared to know his stuff (and made a braw job of Brian's hatch). You might also want to try Ally at 360complete.net - I've used him (on my pishy focus) and he was good.
  3. Excellent work! I wonder if the detailing bug has now bitten the owner
  4. Looks superb Brian, the Supernatural wax really is great. Smells excellent too!
  5. I'll PM you a link Brian, don't want to sidetrack Gus's RO thread Cheers, i'll keep my eye on the events section.
  6. How about a ****ey auld leaky Ford Gus, would I be treated like a lepper if I was to turn up? All the folk i'd never met before would be able to recognise me due to the wellies i'd be wearing. Only way to keep my feet dry when using that heap of junk parked in my driveway at the moment.
  7. I have been with freeserve/wanadoo/orange back since dial-up, paying £17.99 per month. I just swapped (or I am in the process of swapping) to Sky - free for 6 months then £10 thereafter, for their unlimited service. I think that deal ended last week though. Just waiting for the swap over on Thursday. Hopefully it'll all go swimmingly. The reasons I changed were: a) I was fed up paying £17.99 a month and I have experienced a few outages with Orange over the past few months, all in the evening, all for more than an hour.
  8. Before our daughter was born my Mrs and I went to quite a few places round the med, including Menorca. The Menorca holiday was BY FAR the best one out of the lot & we are hoping to go back there again this year. It was Punta Prima we went to though. We did do one of those bus tours of the island but it was 5 years ago now and I can't really remember Cala N Forcat (I think thats how you spell it!) specifically but the whole island looked beautiful.
  9. Anyone ever read the story about the bloke in America who used a sock as a oil filler cap on his BMW (think it was an M3) and it got sucked down into the engine. That was a funny thread!
  10. Just remember the old saying I heard years ago - "There's no pockets in a shroud". Get the leggeras bought!
  11. Shockarooney - another deliberately provoking comment from our resident equine's schlong from Montrose.
  12. You can if it was 78.2 miles away from being funny!
  13. It was a sketch on Limmy's show last night on BBC2.
  14. Folks, The Limmy show starts tonight (Monday 11th January) on BBC2 Scotland - also on Sky channel 990. For those not familiar with his work - http://www.limmy.com/blog/ Limmy was the maker of the Snowball flash game that most of you will have had a wee shot of (there's a thread about the game on here every year) which was made when he worked for Chunk - he then started an interesting & often amusing blog when he travelled round the world for a year with his Mrs. He had a half-hour pilot on BBC last year and he has also appeared at the Edinburgh festival in 2009 & 2008. He's from Carnwadrick (sp?) in Glasgow. Might be jobbies, might be good - worth a wee view anyway I reckon.
  15. Best car: My 2003 Red Subaru Impreza WRX. Miss it Worst car: Vermillion Orange W-reg 1.0 Metro (CSC 778W). Rear subframe rusted through, blootered it into 3 fence posts (backwards) too, wrecked the MG Turbo alloys that I had on it at the time. Although it was fun jamming it into 1st gear at 40mph and hearing the engine & box scream. I think I owned this car back in 1989/1990.
  16. Lovely shots Gordon, lovely car too - I would LOVE an old Mk4 or Mk5 Cortina estate - is that one yours?
  17. Currently got the following sites on buttons along the top of my firefox window: Modelissimo - http://www.modelissimo.de/?Ident=1252415793&Sprache=1 (Model car online shop from Germany) Wikipedia IMDB Limmy.com (maker of the Chunk Snowball game, shortly to have his own 6-part series on BBC2) FFOC forum focusowners.com forum b3ta eBay Amazon F365 forum - http://forum.football365.com/index.php?t=t...amp;frm_goto=Go DieCast Central forum (Model car collectors forum) Project118 forum (Model car collectors forum) Pitpass F1Live Flickr Barryboys forum POTN (Photography On The Net) and lastly PistonHeads forum, where I spend too much time. (I also have an occasional peek at foobies.com, which is NOT work safe!)
  18. I can only imagine how angry you are Noel - as others have said, you've always been a gent every time I've met you. Just hope Karma (or you!) catches up with the culprit and their ability to continue to breathe in and out is removed.
