So's harley of this forum *waits for you tube link*

Mighty impressive, Old Nail - tho' a bit of a pretentious d**k... Mind you, he can afford to be.

A Scottish version on 2 wheels...: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z19zFlPah-o

Haunting song too - running through my head until I had to buy the album. Turns out it's the best song on there Great voice. Terrible lyrics. (Tho' well disguised by the way he sings them.)

If you try SeaFrance's website, put "2cv" in the promotions box in the left hand lower corner(I think ) You'll get a club discount. I took my 2cv and Combi-Camp trailer tent (3.4m) over in May. SeaFrance was cheapest at £125, but by putting in 2cv it cost me £95, and that was out Monday 8.15am, return following Monday 8pm.

I have just watched a TV show on freeview channel 38 (quest) called 'Bangla Bangers', anyone seen it?

Focused on a back street garage in Bangladesh which turns out custom cars by hand, and I mean by hand. Those guys have no power tools, no hydraulics or electrics to speak of, they even stripped old paint off using broken hacksaw blades as they have no chemicals - nothing!

Body panels are made from flat sheet steel, then formed by eye and panel beating, it's truly amazing stuff. When the show was over I felt a real admiration for those guys. Dirt poor, yet maddeningly talented, they show how the human spirit and massive ingenuity can overcome some incredible obstacles.

If you haven't seen it yet then try it, you will be amazed at what they can do with so little.

that used to be on discovery, theres a new(er) series called chop shop where Leepu comes to london and they make some truly horrific and dangerous cars in an old unit under a bridge for celebrities.

Yes the Indians aren't big on safety. That Leepu guy is a fantastic designer but doesn't much care for practicality or safety, but that could also be said of the 'American chopper' motorcycle builders. I don't watch much TV but I'll watch that show again I really enjoyed it.

I've just signed up to BTfon it's fantastic!

Basically, if you're a BT broadband customer, it safely creates an access point on your BT home hub so that people outside your house can use you wireless Internet connection.

But it also means that you can use anyone elses home wireless Internet for free

Basically I'm chuffed because I have no edge or 3G reception at work, but the building opposite has a BT fon access point.

Finally I can get eBay at work

And i2F as well, schweet

Couple of video's showing the resto' of a ripple bonnet, he painted it in my favourite (for a ripple) Monte Carlo blue too, I'm well jealous.
