    Cheap Tools! Or are they??

    I have just bought a mixed lot of ''used spanners'' on an auction site. I found them, and no one had bid. On closer inspection, I found that the two adjustables (6" and 12") were bahco! Reading the description, it said it was all bahco! There is two adjustables, two sets of grips, 8 closed...

    Rossi is still the man!

    Well, if the Quatar Moto GP has proved nothing els, it has proved that Rossi, the GOAT, has still got what it takes. It was a shame he out braked himself in the opening laps, because it would have been nice to see if he had the pace to pass Georgie boy.

    Is it me, or has the price of oil come down? I looked to buy oil middle of last year and I was quoted £50+ for 6L of 10/40 Part syn. I bought some last month, 5L for £16. I have looked on some auction sites and you can buy a case of 4x5L 10/40 part syn for £50. Has the price come down?

    Turbo change on my Volvo

    Hi all, I have recently had a bit of bad luck. My trubo on my 1.9D Volvo has gone. The garage I went to quoted me £400 + Vat + 3-4 hours labour. Since looking online, I eventually got one for £240 + Vat including Gasget and free delivery (too me that is quite hard with an IV postcode). So...

    Bearing gone :(

    Just spent a fortune in a Miti specialist. Driving up to North Wales and find out I have a loud hum when I take a left turn. From what I can hear, its the right back. Makes no odds as its a 4x4 so every bearing is a big job. Do you think I should have a go my self or take it so some...

    New Car! Kind of......

    Just found out the Misses son has just bought a Honda Civic 1.5LE 1998. From what I can gather, this particular model is quite rare. As they were only made between Jan 1998 and Jun 1998. Its the 114bhp version and tops a staggering 112mph! As he can't drive, has no licence and is unlikely to...

    Insurance time!!! First time ever it has gone up!

    For the first time ever. My insurance has gone up. Just had my renewal quote, and it comes in at £1075.04! Slightly up from last year if I remember correctly. The renewal price doesn't usually bother me, because usually I check out the usual price comparison websites, get a good quote, tell my...

    Im Sorry Loz.......

    A few weeks ago we were discussing the ''4 best looking jap cars'' in a thread. Mr Loz put a picture of a FJ Land Cruser and I automatically (without actually seeing one in real life) took the mic as it looked a bit plasticy and a bit ''baywatch'' Since then I have been driving around (in...

    Yet another team pull out of Moto GP :(

    Suzuki have packed it in http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motogp/15789305.stm Its a shame. Over the last few years we have lost Aprilia, Kawasaki and now Suzuki. It wouldn't be to bad if we had other companies coming in. MV Augusta were meant to a couple years back, but no sign of them.

    Younger Drivers - Incorrect instructions?

    The last week, I have been in a car with two younger drivers (17-19yo) and the experience was not pleasant. Now, I know I own a 4WD car, but surly the technique should be the same. I'm talking about cornering. The two (who are boy racer types) seem to accelerate up to a corner, then turn in...
