[mikey093]

Just got my tax return so now i can go buy crap i dont need like nova things :)

[mowgli]

Getting some beer delivered, thankyou bathfart.


Finally seeing the back of my lorry.. Its taken 3 months, but its sold...!!!!!!!! Woohoo lol !!!!

[brainsnova]

Got my gearbox out and clutch slave in the box was jammed out so it took some pushing to get it back and working and the thrust bearing is shot so new csc will be needed and I'll access the clutch tommorrow

[brainsnova]

Bought a Luk clutch and csc and fitted both tonight so just need a torque wrench small enough to tighten up small nm then get it all back together

[paulyb]

Off to Sardinia at 4pm, can't wait to get into the 30degree heat for two weeks :)

[maddogdaz666]

Managing to find a clutch kit for the Signum today! After me and 2 mates ringing round everywhere too!
No one carries stock anymore! Prices changed from £140 inc vat to £318 +vat!!

[brainsnova]

Got my transit gearbox back in and the shafts back, not to bad on your own when Haynes reconned an assistant lol

[Stuart]

3mins per km on a 30km ride. Not bad for a fatty out of shape mofo

[maddogdaz666]

Missed an item earlier In the week on eBay but found his number on my phone as I'd messages him when he first listed it, to I text him and the winning bidder didn't contact him so I'm having it! Yay! Collecting a rear bumper with skirt for the Signum with dual exhaust cut outs for £20! Bargain :)

[Pulsar_stu]

Won a new radiator for a my sr £10 :) get in :) doubt I would get a used one that cheap? Lol

[Jeff16v]

Ordered the wife a new dress for a friends wedding and she modelled it for me with very high heels, bye, lol

[Mike]

Audi's

lol

[Stuart]

Leaving the automotive industry (again).... Might miss the cars but hey, got bored of million pound stuff lol

[MK999]

Well I was gonna leave it until I had the confirmation and all paperwork through but... joining the automotive industry lol Doing something very similar to what I wanted in motorsport and working for a performance/luxury manufacturer along with the opportunity coming up so soon and salary involved easily swayed it for me and I'm really looking forward to it tbh.

Had an interview with Jaguar Land Rover and they offered me the job there and then! Hectic couple of weeks sorting out a place to rent and all sorts of other hassle now!

[Stuart]

JLR are having a massive recruitment drive still. Picking up everyone with a hint of skill :) kept getting asked to go but didnt want the faff of going to gheydon lol

[MK999]

Yeah I'm just hoping the place I've spotted to rent stays put now given there's a flood of people heading there lol

[Benn]

Mark, what will you be doing there?

Stu, what is it you really do?

[Jeff16v]

Getting stopped by the police on the way home from work in the red one, gave me a chance for a chat and a bonnet pop.

[MK999]

Mark, what will you be doing there?

Stu, what is it you really do?

Springs, Dampers and Suspension Systems for new projects.

[brainsnova]

Got my van back on the road and maybe upgrade to a mk7 at the end of the year

[bazzap8389]

Looks like my work is going to pay for me to do a degree :)

[MK999]

Looks like my work is going to pay for me to do a degree :)

Just double check what they're actually paying for, and how many days you're working/doing a degree.

My tuition fees total about 19,000-20,000, yours will be 3x that due to the new tariffs... however that's a very small chunk of a 180,000 pie that includes living costs of around 42,000, loss of earnings of 90-130,000 due to full time education etc etc.

Assuming they continue paying you at the same kind of rate and your living costs are going to be similar though, go for it! :)

[bazzap8389]

I think everything except the books really, illnonly have to pay the money back if I leave within 2 years of passing the course. I've got my hnc just now so need to do hand and degree.

I'll still be on my same wages etc it will be a day realease course by the looks of it :)

[Benn]

Springs, Dampers and Suspension Systems for new projects.

Oh, kinda cool.

[brainsnova]

Finally started my step lol I can't remember when I done the outer red blocks

[raf24]

Taking my nova out for a run as it was a good night & feeling happy about it..i've had quite a rough few weeks as my dad passed away last month & we both used to work on the nova quite a bit so a lot of memories with the little car but i had a little smile to myself :)

[bazil]

Sorry for you loss mate, good to see your getting to enjoy something you both worked on,

I had a smile to myself today, using the nova as a daily driver lol

[Stuart]

Mark, what will you be doing there?

Stu, what is it you really do?

I take normal stuff that works fine, and add electronics to it to a) annoy people who hate the modern world and b) make it work better lol

I was responsible for the body electronics of the huayra (along with the head unit and HVAC control too). I have left that and will be working on the rail network control.... Can't make that any worse lol

[raf24]

Sorry for you loss mate, good to see your getting to enjoy something you both worked on,

Ive got myself debt free as of today :) been paying over £300 a week to clear it for a while so I'll have a bit more money for myself now and won't have to work as much over time :)

[brainsnova]

That's nice. Doing the rest?

Yes I'll be finishing it this year

[Benn]

Very nice, brick does look best i find.

[raf24]

Phoning up adrian flux to tell them i'm fitting an ashley backbox to the nova & fully expecting a battle over how much extra they were going to rape me for a modification on the policy...no extra charge :) this is the same company who wanted an extra £60 off me for putting on red dot grooved discs last year & thats about half of what my yearly premium is :tard::confused: insurance companies eh? lol

[Benn]

BRake upgrades mean you'll be driving it fast.. Meaning more chance you'll smash it up.

Back box can some times be just classed as for looks.

[bazzap8389]

Looks fun! Is that your contraption then?

[mowgli]

yup, the Bintley. made from a pile of scrap & an old wheelie bin.. total outlay £20.

[bazzap8389]

^ How did she get on then?

Seeing the junkies from across the road get their door smashed down and drugs raided :)

[brainsnova]

Got all my mitres cut and have a jig so I can put all the pieces to a corner in it and run the grinder down the cut for equal sand lines but I'll do it nearer the time

Roughly laid out to see how the cuts will work and there's 12 corners in total

Decent, you been boxing a while?

[mk1nova_rich]

Decent, you been boxing a while?

Only started about 10 months ago, only really to get fit at first but its addictive. Had a good few weeks off training recently cos had a baby but slowly getting back into it again

[mowgli]

^ How did she get on then?

not particularly fast compared to the winner, but certainly not a sloth. the fastest time was 20.4 seconds, by a bloke who does a lot of this & fabricated his at a cost of several thousands... rosie managed 28 seconds.. we had not managed any testing & only finished it 15 mins before booking in.. the braking was a compromise & on the 1st run, she clattered a barrier & landed on a drain grate, ripping the rh rear corner off.. the stewards were mightily surprised when i tore off in my pickup to a local farm & had it rewelded & back in the line in time for the 2nd run....lol lol lol

it is definitely getting some improvements & testing before next year..

[Stuart]

Surviving my first week of commuting to London for the new job, along with dragging some idiot tourists suitcase off the train as they blocked the exit with it lol

Nice one,what made ya think of boxing? or did ya go with mates?

Trouble is im that out of shape im nervous about starting lol

They were handing out leaflets as the gym was just opening so I went along to see what it was like. I was really out of shape so first session was a killer then gradually got easier as I went more and I really got into it. Even though some of the other lads had boxed before, because it was just starting up I wasnt as nervous about going along. Just try out a local gym and see how you get on.

Expect intense training - its great once you start to get fitter, hard at first lol

[Spudly]

The reaction my nova got at Billing over the weekend, saw loads of people looking at it approvingly, and a few times whilst i was driving here and there i heard people say "ooh wow look, an Antibes"

And Ian Coomber got very excited when he saw it on the parade lap, sounded like he couldve gone on about it for much longer than he did :d

[raf24]

There's a red antibes on the bay that looks worth saving,as you said spud quite a rare nova & it looks as if most of it is there :)

[Dan]

Hopefully now my lawn will not look like a desert

And no more flying rats (pigeons )

**** knows why anyone would let a tree get that big in a garden

[Novasport]

I had a problem with a tree in the garden backing onto mine. It must have been 70-80 foot high and was a nightmare. The roots were everywhere in my garden, it filled my garden with leaves many times over in autumn, it left my garden in shade in the afternoon and branches kept dropping down etc etc.
Woke up one morning in 2008 to find one of the main branches had landed in my garden, mainly on my shed which was full of panels at the time like new doors etc!!!!

I don't mind looking a tw@t too much as long as I see results from it.

[Benn]

You and me both hence why i do go, but i find it easier to crack on when you are in your own world (ie with headphones on) But still easy to feel intimidated/self conscious.

Yeah yeah :cry:lol

I don't mind looking a tw@t too much as long as I see results from it.

Sure you will notice.

Haha sounds familiar!! lol congratulations mate, its the single most amazing feeling ever when you see it for the first time :) mine will be 8 weeks old on Tuesday

[Dan]

The fact i woke up this morning knowing that tomorrow i get to come home and enjoy 20 degrees less heat and my own bed. Been in menorca for the last week and its 'averaged' 35-40 degrees all week and dipping just below 30 during the night times, which for someone who has never left blighty before is massively hot

[Benn]

Very very hot^

[mowgli]

dan, i went there one summer.... eff me it was hot then too... there was a massive construction project about a mile away from the hotel & you'd hear them start work at 11pm......

the thing that i remember most about the place was Cala en Bosch....yup it was full of germans on sun loungers, and the snack food stalls sold large sausages, sauerkraut etc... the other highlight was my mrs getting very tipsy in the gin factory at mahon...

[Spudly]

Setting a personal record on a short but particularly nasty rooty climb whilst out riding this morning, a few months ago i couldnt even ride up it, although im still fat and i drink a lot, my stamina and fitness is clearly improving :d

[Tanya.]

[Benn]

[Andy]

[Benn]

Oh, well it did sound good...

[Mike]

Oh, well it did sound good...

Oh aye sure sounds good, F1 teams are well clicky thou, I wont be making A grade crash structures or owt like that, just all the **** **** like brake ducts, suspension arms & fuel bowls etc, all the royal PITA stuff I bet.

[mowgli]

[Benn]

Oh aye sure sounds good, F1 teams are well clicky thou, I wont be making A grade crash structures or owt like that, just all the **** **** like brake ducts, suspension arms & fuel bowls etc, all the royal PITA stuff I bet.

Surely you start at the bottom and work up....

[Mike]

Surely you start at the bottom and work up....

Well its contract work so its only 6 months every year, its not PAYE. If the rate was considerably more they would have filled all 12 positions within a day, its been two weeks an there still vacancies lol flights & accommodation paid for, just gotta get to work & back everyday & feed yourself really.


i'd imagine toro rosso is full of brits already...

90% of the guys there are brits lol

[Benn]

So you'll save a bit of cash then, by a bike and cheap from the bin...lol

[Mike]

So you'll save a bit of cash then, by a bike and cheap from the bin...lol

I was gonna take my car over a they'll pay £250 towards fuel (I get 630 mile to about £90, its 1100 miles away) but Sky wont insure me for 6 months out of the UK :(

[brainsnova]

Drove my scooter up the hall lol

[Stuart]

Rode a route that in the past I've had to get off and push twice, but managed it all on the bike and at a decent pace too :) proper happy as it was up hills :) yay.

[mowgli]

/\ i did a hill like that in devon when i was on my hols... and i also passed 3 other cyclists.. i felt pretty good by rather tired after though...

[mowgli]

i just bought a mini fridge locally off the bay for 99p (new they are £75) with a faulty switch.. faulty switch is costing £2 posted...also from the bay. so i got a camping fridge for under 3 quid.

[brainsnova]

^ bargain I'll still never understand why people don't try to fix things

[mowgli]

i agree. its still not as good as my telly.....

the mother in law didn't have a car & lives 30 miles away.. we were visiting & she asked us to take her telly to the tip as it had stopped working just out of warranty. its an LG 32" hd flatscreen.... so i said i'd bring it home & have a look at it 1st. 5 mins on the interweb & i'd ordered a repair kit.. 6 upgraded capacitors were soldered in & we've had it for 2 years & it is excellent. outlay £6.

[Spudly]

Went riding with the RB boys today, started at holmfirth and did fifteen miles, and climbed over 2000ft, really enjoyed it and saw some stunning scenery, ace way to spend my b-day, now its time for beer :thumb:
