At the Beginning, The Middle or at the END or anywhere in between. Just jump in and have a good rant. I can't stand people who don't know where to start! Brendan |

only slightly, I did have one event several summers ago where a White van man insisted that he had the right of way and I should revers my John Deere (7900 series I think) complete with dolly wheel + about a 6th drawbar that was attached to a 40ft artic double stacked with round bails so he didn't have to reverse all of 5th.

Shocks,
Just been searching the forum and the web trying to decide which front shocks to buy to smooth the ride a bit. After an hour's search I am still none the wiser and really confused on what is best for a std 90! When I hit a bump or pot hole there is just no give at all and I thought I would try a change in shocks first. But which ones................ BM52 |

One of the things during my time in South Yorkshire was the amount of blatant fly tipping. On top of that, just the general amount of litter on verges. We lived on a C road with no pavement; the road looked like the entrance to a tip....nice area, just the attitude of the local kids. McDonalds have a lot to answer for! |

One of the reasons for more fly tipping?
The beauocrats in Brussels. Get rid of those idiots and our lives will be better. Ferking EU will fine any council in the UK who do not conform to their undemocratic decrees. One is about rubbish and recycling. So councils put restrictions on taking rubbish to recycling centres. Hence more dumping. Also hence more bins with some councils having people use up to 9 bins! Result blocked pavements where you have houses street lined i.e. no gardens. Wonder how many pedestrians have been hurt because pavements are blocked? Soap box away Brendan |

Whats realy getting my blood boiling at the min is stupid highways departments putting trafficlight crossings in at roundabouts, so someone crosses the road everyone jams up the roundabout, then everyone just looks at each other !!!
Next Why do people feel it necasary to brake on a motorway or dual track before they go up the slip road that is about 800yds long especialy as they were only doing 60 in the first place GRRRRR !!!! Next AND TURN YOUR BLOOD FOG LIGHTS OFF !!!! count to 10 and relax ahhhhh If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

also - how many cars and vans do you see with only one head light on. sometimes it is really difficult to see how wide the vehicle is and which side is broken.
so bl**dy dangerous on dark murky nights ...... after-all it only costs a few quid to replace a bulb BM52 |
