Good to meet you guys today and it was great to finally get to see some trials riding for real. Now i need to pratice,pratice,pratice. Hope you sorted your tensioner problem out Lee! Pm me when your going riding in Northampton next time Adam! Cheers, Mike.

Anyone riding in Northampton today and want to teach an old dog some tricks?? I really want to learn how to ride properly befor we loose the summer completely. Cheers, Mike

Hey dude,I just suggested that lol!! :$

Dude,i'm married and have been for eight years now,all of them happy ones so far.My brother's a Taurus and i know just how stubborn you guys are but you do need to sort this out for your bride to be and your own sake.How do your parents feel about this?? May be try to have a family meeting including both sets of parents to clear the air prior to the wedding day(you don't want any upsets on the day,it will spoil everything!!) Good call for your brother in law to be to support you and his sister,and he could help further by trying to talk to his dad! Sounds like there is obviously something other than not being asked to his daughters wedding,or you only being concerned about what he's going to wear bothering him. My mother in law used to embarrass me at every opportunity,sometimes,in front of my Mother,this really wound me up so we had a family meeting and i told her straight that i don't appreciate the way she treats me especially in front of my Mum.I found out that it was just her nature and that's the way she was dealing with the whole wedding thing(It can be quite a trauma to some parents!!) after that meeting,she couldn't do enough for me,My Mum has passed on now and my mother in law has assumed the role of mum,i feel like she was testing me to see if i was strong enough to be a good husband for her "Rose" and i feel that i proved myself that night we had the family meeting! Did you go to your bride to be's father and let him know your intentions for his daughter?? Seriously dude,it could be something as simple as that and may be he feels that you have been disrespectful in some way,but do your best to find out what the problem is and rectify it,because it's hard enough to be married with the support of both sides of family.much less than having on side of family that doesn't want to know,you just don't need the added pressure. Well congrats and blessings on your day,and most importantly,ENJOY IT!! Mike.

Mark that Steven Hamilton vid in your sig is awesome Mike

Check the speedo cable connection at both the gearbox end and at the rear of the clocks.Also check your ecu (passenger side scuttle panel!) it's really prone to getting wet on Mk2's and corrosion in the connecting pins can cause some strange symptoms!! Mike.

Dude,the condor is well dialled but suited more to vert and ramps.If your gonna be doing more street type riding then go for the Disrupter! Heres mine and she's well sweet! Mike.

AIDAN REPLYING, Shalom my brother. OK,I now realise what you need to do to get onto the trials forum, and seeing as I don't ride trials (like I said) I'll continue to post through you, if you dont mind Cheers man. Just a few things I want to say... Hey again everyone. Sheesh, you guys have posted loads since I last looked (before I went off to Israel 2 weeks ago, that was). I just want to know, if you are adamant that GOD does not exist, why are you still posting? It seems to me that deep, deep, DEEP down inside you, you know there is a GOD, but you don't want to believe because you know if you do you will have to change the way you live your lives (perhaps) and you don't want to. So while you're posting to try and 'prove' to me and Mike how GOD isn't real, you are actually trying to convince yourselves that He isn't real at the same time. This is the work of the Devil, to be completely blunt with you. And that should make you feel scared, cos the Devil ain't nice, I think we all know that (even if you don't believe Heaven or Hell exist) He doesn't want you knowing GOD, so he tricks you into making you not believe and making you convince yourself GOD isn't real. There's a fundamental mistake/misconception that's being said at the moment. The fact that GOD created everything so He created sin, right? WRONG! Read carefully, GOD made the world in 6 'days' (or periods, or whatever) but then on the 7th day, GOD RESTED! I.e. He stopped creating the world, it was all done, and "He saw that it was good". And sin came into the world after the 7th day, because the Satan worked his 'charm' onto mankind, and they, using their FREEWILL, choose to fall into temptation. Mike has answered all the other stuff, just cos he got there before me! I just felt I needed to point that out. Cheers man.

Cheers dude! Mike

Would be rude not to add a few of mine really,(coppied from Terror-Error's thread!) I do miss my dubs from time to time! Have a look at a couple of my X Golfs Mike

Not being funny dude,but did you fit them with the lead edge of the pad angled slightly so that it contacts the rim first(sorry if this is obvious,not teaching you to suck eggs) it makes a big difference! Mike.

I didn't know that Max,they seem to work well on my chrome rim! Mike

G LO was ALL done by Awesome GTi store in stoke-on-trent,the interior was done by Andy from Snappy Gaitors(the first cream leather interior on the VW scean!!) and the engin was done by SLS in Germany! Later on,i had an accident and Premier Vehicle services(steve Denton and crew) repaired her for me! Mike.

Michael, I feel qualified to answer here as i went through this two weeks ago.I know Mason who owns Custom Riders and so i feel his advice can be taken as very good advice.He recommended the Odyssey 1x4 for my chrome rim and the Tektro 2 for the front black rim. They feel very good with plenty of modulation on the rear but still locking up when you need to.Give them a shout on 0870 3308460! Mike.

Yeah i had sold G LO by then,at the dubfreez show my mates were telling me that the new owner was telling everyone that it was all his own work,i just don't get people like that! Mike

Bruntingthorp in Leicestershire has what your looking for dude but there are a few others around the country aswell,Took my R6 around Mallory last year,awesome! Mike

Yeah,the tailpipes were an American style thing of less is more,they tend to stay away from the big bore tail pipes and go for the more flush look! Thats an uprated back box on the 20vT made to the oe spec back box style!, Yep,i'm deffo not making this all up,i've spent a fortune on moddin VW's,been in to them since 1986,my Dad was a VW technician for 30+ years,been to Germany,and Belgium to show the G60 and i imported the Rallye personally(what a fantastic couple of days that was!!) Unfortunately i don't own a VW at the moment,i took a break from them last September when i sold the VR6 Highline and tried my hand at a completely standard and mint example of a Renault 5GTT in silver,this thin is an 18year old brand new car,totally awesome and a nice break from my German cars,but i'm sure my next car will be a VW again when i've finished the R5! Mike.

Lol at telling everyone my age dude (well not till December anyway!) The Green Mk4 is a 20v Turbo modified with APR turbo conversion! she was well quick,upset a few unsuspecting drivers on the road! Mike.

This Mk4!!! was also a German import,imported by Awesome Gti store and had a full APR turbo conversion (305bhp) yum yum! Mike Dude,i do work you know! Seriously though,i'm an electronics/electrical engineer and at the moment i work for Xerox on colour printers and the pay's ok,but i don't smoke or go out drinking so the added pennies fund the toys!! Mike

No disrespect taken Mark,these discussions cause somone like me to have a good look at myself to access if i know all that i think i know,or should know about being a christian.I'm allways left feeling that i need to constantly be on top of my game and if i slacken one bit,there will be somone to pick up on it!! It's all good though! Mike. I can't answer for Mark, Noz,but i'm on a 12hr night shift for two weeks ,and this is my first week lol! Mike.

Have a look at a couple of my X Golfs I've had a few more Mk1s,another Mk2 and two VR6 Highlines in total but i've been in to VW's since 1986 Lol! Mike.

Mark nobody knows all the answers,most religions rely on a constant teaching of some shape or form,My father in-law is 65 years old and he admits he's still learning and he has a wealth of knowledge whit regards to his Christian faith! Mike.

Seriously Mark,do you think that you will ever be satisfied with any explanation to your questions?? Mike.

Sorry you feel that way Mark,didn't think i was going to change such a negitive point of view.Very early on i did mention that the difference between me and you is my total belief in the Holy Spirit and your total disbelief in the same we simply wouldn't ever see things even remotely the same because we are worlds apart in our views,I've tried to meet every argument with what i considered to be a christian point of view but your never going to understand that because you don't believe in what i believe in! and i'm not saying you should either,afterall nobody forced me and i'm totally comfortable with my belief,Seems to me like you would rather pick holes in christianity than actually discuss points with a positive frame of mind,the point i made about the doctors being blessed by God to do the work they do is something i really believe in,but you just rubbished it with no regard for it being my point of view,Thats all good though, I'm never going to change your mind,and i'm definitely going to worship God till i die so i guess thats that! Mike.

Never looked into it man,so i can't realy comment! Mike.
