hmmmm wonder if he has ever met mr walther ppk..............

Chrisstone

Cant belive what am hearing about the car jackings,good peace of advise though carry a can of de-icer with you,if somebody does try and get in your car blast them in the face with it you'll blind them litrally for about 10 mins then its painfull for a bit afterwards they will survive and the police cant say anything because you were using it in self defence. Also while they are blinded tie a rope around there feet attach them to towing hook at the back of your car and see how far you can drag them before anybody notices that you have a THEVING SCROWT atached to the back of your car.Bet they wont do it again in a hurry.

i drive with my doors locked apart from 1 back door on my van i do alot of work around ince and highfield so i'll keep my eyes peeled and remember to turn my engine off because i run up peoples paths and leave it running normally because im only 2 mins there.

AndiThompson

Yep, my alarm locks the doors as you drive off. Scary stuff though

donnas roo

Mine also lock, but how scary is that. I have avoided Wigan areas for 8 months now as thats were the scroates that nicked my Roo where from.
mmmmm ! wonder if it's the same group of scroates, hope so as i believe cops know who they are....

never saw Andy10 when I lived around the corner and now I am in atherton dont think I ever will!!

Had a laugh the other day, some clown in a rs turbo cabriolet shot up my rear end (this is on the long road from the east lancs that goes past halfords, asda and towards gadbury fold etc) then kept dropping back and shooting back up again. I just stuck to 40 laughing with the mrs. He didnt try to pass though as I would have put it in to 2nd and smoked him!

There was a nice porsche carrera on the same stretch earlier going in the opposite direction but I dont think I would have stood a chance with that one

Been working in Exeter since January but back to my hard earned retirement now. Car is fine although i've been stuck in the primera whilst down south. Good to be back in sunny Tyldesley. (Never thought i would say that).
Hows the new house, married life and the dog jay? And you (forgot about you)

jaytc2003

iTrader: (1)

house is fine, lot bigger than what we had and on 3 floors as well so lost a bit of weight as well. Married life is well married life, you know the score, dog is still a little b!tch at times especially with her biting she just doesnt seem to learn (unless I put the electric dog collar on her and zap her.)

You not sold up yet then?

andy10

You not sold up yet then?[/quote]

House is completed and valued. Just needs the for sale sign up now. Buying houses up there is a bit long winded but we are planning on buying a few so that we can renovate them at our leisure. I don't mix well with working so they may take sometime to be completed.

51st state

are you a lottery winner andy10
or have you made it in the property game
i have an interest there

whats with exeter

andy10

Electrical testing down in Exeter on large site. Property in the Highlands and the islands off Scotland are so cheap compared to what they are around here so we will make a good return on the renovations. E.G. 2 bedroomed cottage. 1 acre of land with sea view £39000. Not bad when you cant buy a 2 bed terrace around here for less than £80000.

AndiThompson

Alright, whos is the DBM with my wheels on, I thought I was being really original

gonna try and get myself a big brake upgrade done today. Pads are a bit thin (as told by my mot tester) and the discs have a bit of a lip on them. Then all I need to do is fix my power steering leak (After locating it) and finding my log book so the car can go through the mot as a decat!!

jaytc2003

iTrader: (1)

got a big brake kit, ha ha didnt realise what I was missing. now the proud owner of a set of prodrive/ alcon 4 pot calipers with 330mm discs. To say they stop the car is an understatement!!

AndiThompson

*******, how much did they set you back? Really want a set myself..

jaytc2003

iTrader: (1)

if the missus asks £400, real price ** cough cough ** £1024 inc of vat.

AndiThompson

I prefer the missus price

Not too bad actually though, usually about £500 more than that.

Stephb1986

spotted a blue one this evening about half 6 going onto leigh road in leigh not far from b and q any of you lot???

s80wkr

Prodrive/Alcon brakes are spot on

Until you need some more discs or pads

I managed to get some calipers & nearly new pads from a breakers for £175

Part worn discs £60 and I got 8 months out of them so not bad

Just get a set of Prodrive discs in good nick for £170 off ebay

Just need some pads now shame they are £120 a set

You can tell the difference between Alcons and normal 4 pots!!

jaytc2003

iTrader: (1)

I cant compare to the normal 4 pots but compared to the standard 2 pots its just unreal. I used to have a sunny gtir many many years ago and got tarox 6 pot brakes fitted to that but these 4 pots are in a different league to them.
Just a slight touch on the pedal and the car just comes to a halt rapidly. I am scared of testing them by trying to press all of the way down as I think I would probably split the rubber hoses!! (got the braided items coming today)

The car is just so much quicker because of it as you can brake far later knowing you will slow down.
(may get some caliper paint and become a tart)
