I'll be there, sounds good to me, will even be insured on my bestest
car lol -
Only met him a couple of times, but he made the impression of being a good laugh, and a sound chap, another tragic waste. RIP.

Just put a deposit on this.
1341cc
+ G Lader -
Engine: Petrol, This was on 95RON, Mr rolling road man told me I should run it on V Power though..
Size: 1272cc, Chip (with 8k limiter..) Pipercross, 4 Branch manifold, performance exhaust, P&P Throttle body, skimmed head (higher compression ratio..)
Model: 1991 Polo GT
Driving Conditions: Good run to watford (120miles ish) to work and back, half country, half A and Dual carriageway, so averaging a 'good' 60mph mostly!
Combined MPG: 42ish, Full tank, 189miles, required 20 liters to full up.
Rated MPG (manufacture) : No-idea, 30-45ish
Comments: Pretty pleased, thats with occasional limiter bashing, a close ratio box, with little concession to fuel economy when it comes to driving style, could increase it to 45mpg I reckon.

Not jumping on the 'I knew him' bandwagon, buut..
I saw him ride twice, saw him do the mental drop gap in bristol and he was a name and a person to remember in my head as being something special.
Tragic loss, condolences to family, friends and everybody who knew him better than I did.
RIP.

Bummp.. I've had it since about feb, I still feel gash. grrrrr

I have the 'proper' (i.e dangerous) Pro-tec bucky lasek sig white helmet, got it from US ebay couple of years back for 23quid delivered new i think. They fit well and look nicer lol.
-
Impressive work taking it upon yourself to organize this, 7th gets my vote.

Forgot this was on here..!
Cheers, pleased with it, only ridden it twice or so though, due to some shitness!
Rear rim is an Atomlab, um, cant remember which one, might change it, too heavy. Seat is a nitrox, will remove gash padding when I can be bothered.
I quite like the gearing, though it is a bit spinny!

Loverly stuff.

Absolutely shocking and gutting news. Met him at the DJ ride this year, and had a big conversation about our mutual VW interest, remember thinking afterwards, what a nice genuine guy. so added him to msn, where he was always up for a car related natter, and gave me loads of help and advice. Tragic loss of a seemingly brilliant, capable young man. Condolences to his family, and anybody who knew him.

Anyone got a 24" tyre I could borrow for the event? none of my lbs have any, crapppers, and mines not turned up yet:(
-
right.. this is really bugging me now i can't find any of the old polo-shirts (just black with halfords written on it, without orange sleeves) Dose anyone have one in a size SMALL i can buy for a reasonable price, search your clothing hole in your warehouses guys i want one i do.
Haha, thought it was only me who bummed those shirts, i have four, and it was well hard getting those lol. Mine are like XXXXS after being washed loads anyway.
-
Anyone know about trade discounts n stuff through halfords? I haven't worked there 6 months yet but i'm wondering if i can get one of the nitro RC cars they sell (HPI Savage specifically) on trade as i'm hoping it'll be a lot cheaper.
No.
-
Hope its alright lol. Impulse buy..

gashing, gaying illness and rargh.
Possibly may come for a trundle if my all NEW
:o bikes ready. -
Hmm, really want a tioga, one I had in 26" took a beasting, though have a feeling they were 32h only..
Remember breaking a rhyno lite in days, but I think It was 2nd hand..hmm
-
Hey, been a while since I've posted on here, could do with a hand though.
Looking for, pref a Tioga rim, in 24" 36h if they do them? Can't remember if they did.
Or a DX32/BMF to suit, anybody got any ideas where I could get one from?
Or any other decent 24" rims, if things have moved on in the last 2 years since i had my ashton.
Thanks
Rich

Go for the MK3 polo! Get an ABD 1.4l GT, with a cam and some choice mods you have 100bhp in an 780 kilo car, mucho more fun than a scirocco!
Or do what I've done and get a G40:)
Oh, and the handling isn't all that bad, when there on a decent set of shocks and springs, with G'laderseite arb blocks to help retain the castor angle once lowered.
