Lovely NCT folk eh!:rolleyes:
I spoke to soon its all fine around the rear wheel but as I moved up more to the rear door theres a piece that go's up behind the sill its shagged will need replacing wire brush wont fix it :(
My apologies to the nct man :D
always had a feeling in most cases they just put that in for the hell of it, it's an easy extra 28 quid out of the car owner. Most people aren't going to argue, they wouldn't even know where to find their brake linesQuote:

I've just bought a new telly that's a bit bigger than the old one. Now I know it's going to cost a bit more to run and replacement parts are going to be more expensive, but can anyone tell me if I'll have to pay more to the government for the privilege of having a larger screen? Also, do I have to tell them if I'm not going to be using it for a while? ;)
Give it time. I'm surprised there isn't a scrapage scheme for old tvs to encourage people with 3 year old sets to buy a new one that they don't need. Wait til power city start lobbying :)Quote:

If anyone is interested in airplane stuff there is day out in Shannon at the airadventure place, don't know what's there but they have a aerobatic display organised. Looked good from my house a couple of years ago when they did it last time.
Not sure Gar, could it be this?;Quote:

Some pics for you:

Looked bigger then that john and the whole plane was painted a light grey colour with no writing just a red crown on the tail, was really big
I'm stumped Gar, there's no much bigger western commercial aircraft than a 747 unless you it's an A340-600, 777-300 or an A380
Hmm...
I knew I should have taken a picture but had no time to pull in , it had two floors in it is well two set of windows top and bottom but just a few windows they didn't stretch the lenght of the plane like a commercial plane
I think it's the Sultan of Brunei's jumbo is in for painting.
