Yea! The last couple I've had have been 85ps so I had a big smile on my face all the way up the road from Newcastle yesterday

Might have to consider the Bluefin option in the future though

Yea, I know the maltings. Those flats are supposed to be not too bad...bit pricey these days! The rent on the current place is not too bad considering the rental prices in town just now. I used to rent in Inverness and it was only £375 for the whole flat a few years ago! Dalry parking is a nightmare, got a permit for my own van but also got a MK6 LWB Hightop which has no permit......fun tryin to squeeze that in around here

I remember eros and elite well....stab central! I stayed well away, used to go to the west end subway when it was the bizz...there and centuary 2000!! Aye....the memories :oops:

I can identify with that....I was going from tarmac onto cobbles near the west end about a year ago in a mk6 same as the one above. Traction just went as soon as I hit the cobbles due to them being wet plus the angle I hit them at....only 25mph too! It went straight on and straight into the back of a Jag Soverign :oops:

£2000 damage to the jag and the van.....a cracked headlamp lens and that was it :lol:
