Jake.

f**king hate that. Usually end up just sticking my fingers down my throat to get it over with.

Also just figured out why my ex of 4 years didn't work out, incase any of you saw that f**king essay of a post. She didn't like pizza. Also a girl I was seeing for a while I kinda called things off cause she was mental. She didn't like pizza either.

Problem?

Also if you're holding yourself back at all you're doing it wrong, there's tonneessss of them don't be afraid to f**k about and take the piss. I mean we're all different but yeah at the end of the day just don't hold yourself to someone haha, and the more creative you are with the initial few lines is what decides how interested they'll be.

Haha no worries, it's almost an art to master in a weird way and sorta a lil bit harder being deaf as most people can get a number and call it, meet in a pub/restaurant and not worry about mishearing etc etc. Feel free to steal the bio or change it completely, you're from Devon and I'm in the South East so they wouldn't see both of us anyway . Well the current one I've been talking to about pizza for a few days, started off by asking if she liked humous and had ever tried licking it off a cock. She stopped talking then a few days later I said "My cock is covered in humous come help me clean up please", then she goes on to say I have an obsession with humous. At that moment my inner pizza came out and said "Noooo. Honestly Pizza is the obsession. Srs please tell me you like pizza." Now we're kinda talking about meeting up and making a pizza with a humous base. Sounds weird but, think how many guys they're gonna have saying like "Hey pretty, how you doing today?". Literally the worst thing to do, be different.

Mate my tinder bio is "Anyone got a fetish for deaf guys?" haha. Little awkward being deaf and all but as long as you're not a creep, and genuinely get on with them it shouldn't matter. A girl came down from London and we got on really well, then she stopped talking completely, and it's been about 3 months I look back and actually realise how hot she is I wish I tried harder hahaha. But there's no use getting in a ruse and holding onto anything, expect people to stop talking altogether, that's the beauty of it. I tend to take the piss loads as that's my humour and the occasional one that catches on I tend to have a laugh with. Only met two girls off it though, although I haven't tried that hard really.

Mate it improves your riding 10 fold! When I used to have one I could sidehop 5" higher than normal.

Just noticed Hippys profile picture was of me and him after spending a good while trying to figure out who the f**k it was in the picture haha.

Red? Or how about Purple?

Looks like jitsie, they were on tarty a while back.

My gf

South East might I add.

Anyone in the South that can do welding for cheap?

Nice job Luke. Also- just realised Caddy has mot until end of Feb. Do I tax and insure? She's reliable as anything, I almost don't want to spend the money and carry on cycling to work but god it is cold and I've luckily not ridden in the rain.... Yet!

Haha I usually don't care and see it as banter but for some reason it actually pissed me off cause Jordan's a good lad and isn't the type to be like "phooooaaar just did a 54.37" side hop!! Gonna try get 54.38" next time!". Maybe I'm missing the point but he hasn't been riding a massive amount of time, and I'm not even sure he knew about the "tf tape measure". I did originally find it funny but jeez if I'd not been riding long and people got picky on me saying the height of something I'd be pretty put off the sport. Also those of you saying go pros make things look bigger, haha shut up, fisheye makes things look smaller towards the outside of the image and the ramp was in the bottom of the video... Can't even believe people went there but yeah. The lad went out for a wet night ride at a skatepark by himself, put a video up of something he was clearly happy he did and stating a rough height. Then he gets called out for lying. Also Ross don't take this as a personal insult, I've got nothing against you.

It's appalling how much snobbery there is these days, don't get me wrong everyone's nice but there's a lot of snide stuff lurking round.

Maybe a grand or so if I'm lucky, if I split, 200 from turbo, 200 intercooler, 100/150 for wheels (pretty much brand new tyres and a spare wheel with brand new tyre). Brembo disc and pads on the front I haven't fitted so will hopefully be able to return. Cruise control stalk may get a bit of money. Then scrap value, that's 800 easily worst case scenario... Yeah that's actually a very good shout, always despised them but just had a look and they seem pretty cheap + can't imagine insurance would be massively high. Having a real good think about this. Gonna try solely cycling to work for a while, and maybe- just maybe I'll be able to hold out for a few months then stick at that to make my life a lot easier/cheaper and up the fitness too which is a bonus. Cheers for getting my head straight man.

Personally josh if I were you spend the money doing your genesis mod up. Personally josh if I were you spend the money doing your genesis mod up.

Y'all gonna think this shits gay but this cheered me up a lil. Expanding on what I said a few days ago I've seen a quote that sums up exactly how I feel. "I have this strange feeling that I'm not myself anymore. It's hard to put into words, but I guess it was like I was fast asleep, and someone came, disassembled me, and hurriedly put me back together again. That sort of feeling." -Haruki Murakami

Brad seems to break everything though haha!

I do have a road bike, I do ride to work. It's not neccessarily a hard ride, takes 30-40 mins if I push or 50 if I cruise. Spending 20-30 minutes before and after work plus getting changed isn't fun, and nor are these weather conditions. Maybe I'm just being bitter and used to being lazy, but I proper loved having a bit of fun down the country lanes every day! Also the freedom to ride my trials bike whenever and wherever I want (it lives in my boot). I guess over the course of this next month or so I'll have to man the f**k up! Even with the caddy running I like to think I wouldn't use it as a daily, I used to go to the gym a bit but now with cycling I have no energy to do anything and barely see friends too. I'm saving to go travelling so maybe its my calling for this to happen.... Either way the caddy is still gonna get looked at and welded!!

Thing is the caddy although with its faults has always been driveable, just aesthetics and things that could "improve" which if I don't touch won't make a huge difference to performance but will make a big difference to my wallet. I could quite easily get the caddy welded, brake lines done and it'll pass the mot... Having that lad look at it on Monday to give me a proper idea for cost- although I have a rough idea, the actual person doing the welding will obviously give a set price. I could drive a shit car and look uncool for a while which I may do... As long as it drives ok, commute is only 11 miles each way through 2 car wide country lanes. Could do what Sam did and get a car dirt cheap, but at the same time it may have more problems. Meh, maybe a cheap 1l clio/corsa/saxo/arosa/polo/lupo... Could have picked that golf off you Luke, know if the new owner is using it?

Got paid a grand or so a month ago. £400 in my bank, 500 added to savings.

That's a good point, the caddy has already been converted though and done by a garage... Wouldn't be willing to swap the engine on it for a long time as it's reliable as is- I'd only swap the engine when I'm older and have a daily which a decent income and can use it as a bit of a toy. I was genuinely thinking of just picking up a small car on the cheap to last me a while but I dunno. Really want the space the back of the caddy offers or an estate...

Yeah just been trying to forget about it Tried to fit a3 seats for ages but gave up, they live by my bed now. I was considering lumping a pd130 in but it's had an engine conversion to a non turbo diesel 1.9 1Y mk4 golf which is meant to be one of the most reliable engines ever made in the VW scene... But the word reliable is become something of a joke to me nowadays haha. Previous owner said the new engine is on 80/90k miles, although clocks say 71k- which I put 3k onto. My Dad happened to reverse into the ibiza which consequently rolled back and hit the Caddy too, so need a new front grille and indicators for it. Need to try bend the bumper back slightly too and maybe even a new reg plate also as current one is now cracked... :/ Realistically with the caddy- just to get it road worthy/legal it needs welding to back half, new brake lines, and the lens/grille sorted out. Then tax. So under a grand quite easily... Any of you guys done engine swaps before? How hard are they? I think you've all just convinced me to get the caddy going again . Ideally I really wanna strip the caddy down to a shell and do her up pristinely but that's gonna cost me the world in time and money. I really want to stick new carpets in it, new doors, new windows inc seals (rear sliding window), fix the rear tailgate- it's bent but I've seen a few methods of fixing- if not I've got a bully net which I can also use although I think looks a bit chavvy. Sorta using this as a log so sorry for the long post. Forgot to mention it has a GTI 5 speed gearbox in it also, they usually are only 4 speed. Also big question, the fan on the radiator sometimes doesn't kick in. Easy fix or new radiator time?
