Is there a page telling you where and when these south west comps are held? I'm a bit out of the comp loop...

So once again it depends on what you're after. South west for me, I lived in London for 18 years but the SW has more of what I'm after. I've travelled to and spent time in most parts of the uk and still prefer the south west, but I've only lived in London, Plymouth and Exeter so can only give proper opinions on those 3.

I'm on a 7% return with a couple of Fidelity Equity based ISAs. One is up 10% and one is down a couple.

Very first black logo try-all carbons with the 'traditional' carbon lay up, about 4 years old and still in one piece (fingers crossed).

Nice! Cligga and...? Rough Tor?

Have you been up to Haldon with her? Been up there with my missus and rented a couple bikes, went for the first time a few weekends ago and hit half the green then moved onto the blue for the rest of the day, Then went again last weekend and did the blue a few more times then did the red. She did really well It's pretty tame and well set up so could be a good first stop on your way east.

Sorta a shame that back in the day people used to go to the woods armed with a bottle of wine and porn mag and wank away merrily in a bomb hole, and now its reduced to being able to get it anywhere at any time. Less of an event.

Yeah my vanes are sticking and the moment it senses it's overboosting it cuts power and goes into limp mode.

Ahhh... Fair one. I put 2 and 2 together and made brothers.

Potnentially, yes. Who is he?

Completely unrelated but do you also have a brother who hangs about in West Bay / Bridport area of Dorset? Also rides bikes?

I just spend what I need to when I need to, when I've built up what i'd consider 'enough' I dump it into my ISA and start again. Some months I spend a lot, some I spend not so much and I'm not the kinda guy to give myself a definitive limit to my spending so it varies and as such a structured investment strategy doesn't really work for me.

What was the most impressive bit of kit on show?

Suspected sticky turbo vanes on '03 octavia 130 asz with 175.5k on the clock. VWS in exeter want £250 to remove, inspect/ clean and refit the turbo. Sound about right? Not got the time to do it myself.

Yes, why not. Try it and see, no right or wrong.

Or cut patch from old tyre / tube and glue on inside. Basically anything along the lines of all the ideas on this page.

Dan the pussy slayer

So basically terrible.

Of all the people in the world who could test your pads properly, and you send a pair to that clown?! I don't want a set, just sayin'.

Heat the ADMs up, boiling water works. Put them in a pot, boil the buggers, use pliers to pull them apart. Might need a few goes. Careful, they will be hot.

I use my foot and stand on the cont.

Says 9.5ft on the fb page? Anyway, cool.

Jitsie and Hebo gloves are my favorite.

Went to a site the other day that had japanese knotweed growing next to himalayan balsam, gutted.

I guess you could say it's pretty serious.
