Re: World Cup Thread

That's it for another 4 years. Overall a good world cup with some memorable games. The final wasn't great but the right team won it.

Re: What are you eating ??

Its Friday so nice to have a bit of fish. Missus is murdering (allegedly a specialist method of burning / over cooking food that takes years to perfect ) some Dove sole whilst I sit in the garden with a beer for 5 minutes break from demanding kids.

Re: Pedrosa

True, but it was Honda USA that had the political clout to get Nicky Hayden on that very bike a few years back, and it was Pedrosa that punted him off from behind and nearly cost Honda the title as well. Repsol obviously stump up a fair amount of cash, but I'd bet Honda put ...

Re: British and French convoy

The tour is amazingly well organised. We saw a stage a few years ago. The gendarmes know how to ride and block roads.

Did the frenchies do the roadwork or was it the British police?

Looked really good on tv too :)

Not near us this year :(

Re: LED Indicator Bulbs

... see an auto electrician about it. With my OEM flasher relay, he said I didnt need a resistor and told me to swap the poles which I did. That was 4 years ago and (touch wood) they've worked ever since. I did go for a bulb with LEDS all over like the ones here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-of-Amber-LED-Bulb-36-LED-12V-Car-Tail-Turn-Light-Indicator-BA15S-1156-P21W-/251578207185?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a933acbd1" ...
