Re: All good things come to an end - Fat gits getting fit th

I have just bought a set of the Wthings scales and LOVE them........nothing better than seeing the graph change daily and even though you'll fluctuate naturally you see the trend. I have seen my body fat drop daily since 1st Jan using these. I was tempted to buy them for over 9 months and went for i...

Re: NLC - Car Finance

Thread resurrection alert ! If you read Evo then you'll know Chris Harris ( funny to follow on Twitter incidentally) bought a GT3 RS 4.0 on his journo salary. The resultant ( and on topic thread ) below is quite a read http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=1062532&r=19371448&hm=260975&m...

We aren't 40 until 2016, so the we'll have a sizeable pot to play with by then :thumbsup I actually did a tour round this neck of the w...

Re: Road Bike advice anyone ?

I have also signed up for the Etap for the first time. I am more of a MTB'er but bought a Spesh Allez Elite for fitness 2 years back. If the truth be known I would far rather be on the MTB but it's handy to got for a quick ride and not have to drive 20 miles and jet wash the MTB. Did a paltry 22 mil...

Well worth it !

Re: MkII Cooper Restoration

Good luck with the project Robin. Have sent my Dad the URL for this thread as he has a 1972 Cooper and needs a bit of prompting to allow his dream to come to fruition. He's after a vtec'd FWD or bike engined RWD conversion ( er....perhaps not in line with your goal w.r.t restoration) but has never g...

Re: LinkedIn

I use it two fold...... 1) to promote myself - I have been approached twice with solid offers ( and to be fair some dross offers too..) 2) to go looking for contractors that I need for my team If you make an effort to populate it well it can pay huge dividends.

Re: Scooby as a daily shed - Talk me out of it

( i.e you'll hit 70 mph rapidly with little effort) 3. if you dont get an STi model you wont...
