Registered.

I put in the daily as the car i'm taking but no doubt the wounders may have something better for me to take

Maybe wambulance camping?

maybe the vehicle I have for the next challenge?

maybe just a boring daily 

I'm in...

but you didn't feel a thing did you?

On copper pipe?

Sale went hard on price.

Yes on copper pipe, I also used it on alloy heater core pipes.

Out of interest, How much did they sell for?

Not that I'm going to sell them, the copper mine in the tunnels under the hospital has enough unused copper pipes to ensure our christmas parties are banging for many many years

I've got one of these little swagers (just the main part) and never knew exactly what it was. This one is more complete with the 'inserts' that allow it to be used for different pipe sizes. Quite cool

(kinda pricey though)

We still use this same set at work

I find it interesting that both these brands are not mentioned here

DeWalt 54v flexvolt at work, cordless grinder goes hard even when leant on, I know your metabo one would give up when you start leaning on it. We are slowly building up a full set, The battery vacuum cleaner has been a godsend

Full AEG set at home, and its been fucking awesome, grinder doesn't have as much grunt but that's to be expected

At the same time? wow you are getting friendly with your clients.

I do like this design more than the original, I also did like the weird looks I was getting when towing it with a shitty e30

Is this still carrying on from the canvas skinned caravan or is it a different customer?

You buy 2wd shitbox and participate in the next challenge.

Don't think, just buy

One of us... one of us... one of us

Oh hell yes I would! but i'm in the wrong island

It's a 90s(?) Carib, surely it'd only have rudimentary abs and nothing fancy? 

Honestly I was surprised it had tyre pressure monitoring 

If it has stability control then yes it can activate an individual wheel, detects slide, calculates which wheels it needs to brake to correct it. In some vehicles its used to keep traction when stuck too, it will brake the wheel with no traction 

If it wasn't for this my dad would have sent the s4 into the first ditch he seen, He admitted later that the car had corrected before he realised it was sliding.... "I have never driven this car, oh its a v8?! let me just fucking floor it in the wet" ...  idiot

Being a early Carib, I assume it uses indirect sensors rather than the direct battery operated fancy schrader valve thats mounted in the rim?

What's the tyre condition like in relation to the opposite side? 

Exaggerated but a new tyre on one side and a worn tyre on the other side would make it think its tyre pressure is low, Daughter been doing some mean one wheeler roll backs g?

There's 4 G60 patrols just chillin at the bro in laws, his good one is really sweet, so sweet that I managed to hand crank it and she fired straight up 

Audi one is too small sorry, 240 x 200 x 50

I have removed one of the 2 auxiliary radiators from my Audi, I will measure it up and get back to you. 

It may be suitable, it may not

With all this weight added, Its going to feel slow.

Better be safe with more fuel and all of the boost

My one is hardwired in the S4 which needs it the most, but I use the supplied ciggy plug adaptor when im using it in other cars

In my experience you pay for what you get, If you are thinking of buying one then you must need it and it will be worth its weight in R32 GTRs which is worth more than gold

I run a Escort Redline and its been epic.

Best result so far in optimum conditions has been a weak alert about 8kms away

I do agree, Great coffee, very cuddly, best suited as big spoon

Hi, I'm Graeme

Where: Hamilton

I stumbled on this forum while looking for parts for my newest purchase: a 1965 Humber Super Snipe.

It appears this was previously owned by "The Pog", so it was interesting reading about its previous history.  I bought it off TradeMe, from I presume, the purchaser who bought it from him.

Unfortunately, circumstances changed, that meant it sat in a small shed for 5 years without turning a wheel.   My first job was dragging it out of the shed and then removing the drums to free the brakes - a full mornings work.  With a bit of work I got it going and was able to drive it home.  It was looking very dirty, but seems ok mechanically.  Lots of things to do though and my current issue is that the left bonnet hinge has collapsed - so I need to find one.

I'd be very keen to find the chrome wheel trims that were discarded, or mags that might fit.

Cheers

Graeme
