Cookies i made.feel sick now though lol
andy... cookies can't make you feel sick... are you coming down with something??
They do when you eat too many lol
i'm sorry, i'm not familiar with the concept of too many cookies..
Lost clutch action lol so once started I can't select any gears but when gears selected then started is goes in that gear so 2nd gear until I reached a hill switched off select 3rd roll down hill and start and 3rd gear home
you start off in third, rev it slowly to about 2000, let off the throttle and pull it out of gear, then into 2nd. it will go in. then repeat up to a decent gear. on the way down, you let off the throttle, pull it out of gear, blip the throttle to put about 500 extra revs on & slide it intothe next gear down..
its how people used to do it before synchros came along.
of course, traffic lights & reversing still cause a problem
I was out and about in the good weather today and came across these beasts.

A few beers with one of my best mates this afternoon,pissed & superb day :)
3 hrs till I finish work then off for 12 days going in holiday tomorrow morning I can't wait
A surprise visit from my mate Rob last night, few beers sunk with a curry and a few films, then got him out on one of my bikes on the local trails, eleven mile loop with some lungbusting climbs, he loved it, and i set a personal record on one of the steepest (albeit short) climbs, all on my rigid '93 Lava Dome, good times had!
Planned to use my van tomorrow with no clutch lol I shall set off in 2nd and once I get on the longer non trafffic light routes I shall be in 3rd. Tail backs will be lengthy lol
ffs man up.... i drove a sprinter thru the middle of london from the m1 to the m23 via an industrial estate behind kings cross station[google map it!!!!] with no clutch.....Quote:

i thought myself how to do that in my old bg van, just for the fun of it lol
I have passed them loads of times as I spend a few weekends in the summer time at Tarland. But I have never stopped to look at them. I will have a look next time I am up there.Quote:

the large house spider, "Igor", has taken residence in my room. i'm the only one in the family who doesnt scream and have to have him removed when he appears :D
(and it's not wierd to name him, he's been here for a good while now)
2nd gear is 15mph and if I get into bother I can switch it off and it stops within a metreQuote:

I laughed but I don't think the 20+ cars behind me and the oncoming truck were happy lol
Made my journey as planned and it was really busy so I only managed second and had massive tail backs behind me lol
Just got my summer holiday booked :d

Got the keys to our new house, decided it was a good time to buy rather than wasting all my money on my cars. Mortgage is less than our current rent and only moving two doors down so should be easy.
House needs quite a bit of work and modernising, pictures are a little deceptive. House is pretty much empty now.

Cars just about squeeze past the house down the drive but it is tight with the Civic, have to fold the mirrors in.
