  1. On contrary mate, there are not enough DECENT developers. Most just use Dreamwaever and the like.

    Fuck, really? I did a bit of freelance web design when I was 20 or so and I thought Dreamweaver was archaic back then, let alone now. I always did it the proper way, notepad++, Photoshop for assets and writing stylesheets by hand. Related side question, how's HTML5 to work with? Been thinking of doing it on the side when I start uni in September but haven't done anything related in about 5-6 years.

  2. hehe was suprised to see one, i said oo a starlet, then a ukso sticker on the side lol. noticed the gt seats also :)

    by the way love it down your way, and didnt meet 1 single nasty person! wierrd being back down here lol

    Aye, there's only one other I know of in Cornwall down Tintagel way owned by a 60-something woman. Gets lonely down here haha., only the mark 4 golfs to keep me company. Wish I could've seen your RX though, huge soft spot for those.

    Cheers :) I really love it down here, not looking forward to the uni move in September.

  3. I was just adjusting the handbrake on the Starbo in prep for her MOT in a couple of weeks. Adjust the brake inside the drum, put everything back together and went to move it down the drive to where there's more of a slope to test it and it wouldn't move.

    I thought I might've over tightened it for a second, but when it was jacked up I could spin the wheel by hand easily.

    5 minutes of working the handbrake and trying to pull away with and without engine assistance and I realised I hadn't actually taken the chocks from in front of the wheels. My neighbour across the road was pissing herself in her garden.

    This got me to wondering, what's everyone's worst knob moment when they've been working on their cars?

  4. Ask them for a breakdown of the fees they're levying. They're obliged to provide it. I'd then take that to your local citizens advice and ask their opinion,

    Also, did they post your policy documents to you? If so, your cooling off period starts from the date you received them which gives you 14 days to cancel with no punitive charges.

    ALSO if you paid the premium upfront, the admin fee shouldn't be more than £50 or so as there's no finance agreement in place for them to be losing money on.

    They're relying on you not knowing or bothering to fight them on it, so be difficult. Make them work for it :)

  5. looking at it id say there bolted onto the rear seat bracket that lets them fold but id still not trust it ha!. could be worse when i bought my car the harness had been cable tied to a strut brace and the seat had 2 bolts in it!

    Cable tied?! I've driven some sketchy shit in my time but fuuuuuck.

  6. For the sake of argument, if there were 2 averagely-weighted people in there of around 67kg each and they crashed at 60, there would be the equivalent of 370kg trying to be held back by that one 2-inch section of wood.
