Why has he gone somewhere? But it is quiet.
You can find him on face book praising people impersonating police with xplod volvo's... Think everyone's at Halloween parties. I'm in bed with less than 3 hours till due date & cack in my pampers. Oh & I'm up at 5 for work. Bummer.
I was thinking that. Used to get 3 pages of new posts. Tonight I had 1 :(
Definitely quiet, but it;s that time of year, show and race season is over, and it's getting colder and wetter so people aren't working on their cars so much.
Plus christmas is not far away so funds are low!
[QUOTE=stribo;745768]Definitely quiet, but it;s that time of year, show and race season is over, and it's getting colder and wetter so people aren't working on their cars so much.[/QUOTE] Lol. it should be getting colder, but the warmest Halloween on record at 19-20 degrees. Should mean more time on here if we're not working on our cars so much.
I'm glad it's warm, got a weekend of working on the V70R to get it through it's M.O.T.

[QUOTE=stribo;745768]Definitely quiet, but it;s that time of year, show and race season is over, and it's getting colder and wetter so people aren't working on their cars so much.[/QUOTE] I sit in the back row and watch whats going on. I've noticed that the weather/time of year makes no difference to the amount of projects that are being started/updated.

[QUOTE=Ettienne;745781]You thinking another BBQ lol[/QUOTE] TBH we've only had BBQs to fix other people's cars, and I think it would be a bit short notice for tomorrow, plus I haven't got any food in. ;)
Me and rob are out on a parts trip tomorrow, so won't be about, then another parts trip Sunday morning

She's had curry, fizzy orange, pineapple, raspberry leaf tea, a bumpy ride in the volvo, a good rogering & still no sign bar contractions & the odd bulge. I'm working all weekend & missing the evo triangle run as this will count towards my Christmas pay cheque & being closer to my do88 rip kit. :) Obviously if junior arrives work is at the bottom of my list. :)

i just been busy with partys and general life! for 4 weekends on the trot now ive done on average 600 miles a weekend. been putting some miles on the old girl!
Well I'm still washing my car and working on it regardless of the weather conditions but don't post about it much as most aren't really interested. Tend to knock about on tnuk.com at the moment.
Nowt wrong with a shiny car dude. I've been doing stuff to mine but it's not gonna appear on forums cos it might be a bit naughty ;)
I'm hoping it will be shiney next year after more paint. Naughty? Lol
Yeah, naughty ;) If you use WhatsApp, PM me your number and I'll send you a vid.

[QUOTE=oblark;750200]It looks like we are the only two doing anything with our cars :)[/QUOTE] I did some work on the V70 Saturday :P
i am waiting for ARP headbolts to land from the US. I believe they're made of unobtainium
I rebuilt the stub axles on the piglet on saturday and washed the sweed on sunday :)
u sure they were the stub axels?
Had a quick view around some of the forums that I am a member of. General lack of forum interest all over and it appears to be getting worse each month. What is depressing is that if you look at the posts they seem to come from the few regular posters. I can see a number of forums closing. I remember this forum 10 years ago it was then very busy. T5 forum seems to be very busy. Lets hope it gets better.
[QUOTE=Wobbly Dave;750209]u sure they were the stub axels?[/QUOTE] Rear wheels mate ;)
Im still ducked off still havent got a car to do work on
I've lost interest here abit, same people posting and same cars getting attention, tend to look more on t5d5 seems to be abit more varied and interesting.
its cos i'm hardly posting thats why its quiet on here lol
[QUOTE=T5frankie;750225]its cos i'm hardly posting thats why its quiet on here lol[/QUOTE] I haven`t made a noise lately either.........but i am still here!
I'm here in the background quite a bit, but with my reduction in Volvos I have less to say really. I was taking note yesterday of the time gaps between posts and they were longer than I've ever seen. Anyway, I'm not ruling out another Volvo next year, depending on what comes up for sale and I would really like a saffy V70 R at some stage(wanted one since joining this forum).
Guess everyone is out on the piss then :)
[QUOTE=Jamest5r;752217]Guess everyone is out on the piss then :)[/QUOTE] not me, at work at 3am
I'm here having a catch up really, as I been busy on the kitchen so not on here as much as normal, hope to finish soon and spend christmas messing with gearboxes and the like
I've got 2 weeks off now, so will be catching up with the work that needs doing on the cars, rear brakes on S60R, new exhaust manifold gasket on the C70, possible turbo on the S70, and possible gearbox for the V70R (though that will be farmed out).
Same here, finished today until the 5th Jan. A few car jobs planned, weather permitting as I work out on the street.
My mother is getting married again on Sunday :), then back to work Tuesday off to London on Wednesday for 4 days :)

Hi, just thought I'd pop in :)

[QUOTE=stribo;752237]I work outside, but not exactly on the street. ;)[/QUOTE] If we didn't have a caravan taking up the drive then I'd be on there. However, it's case of mechanic's mat and grin and bear it on the front.
Always use my mat mate, though it's getting quite grubby now, might have to invest in another one if you do another group buy. ;)
Unfortunately, there lies a problem. Due to a pricing error by our factory, we had to put the price of the foam up by 20%. The mat guy now either won't make mats at all, or will use our competition. If he goes for the latter option, then I can still get them, so I'll find out what is happening.

[QUOTE=V70 Graham;752282]It has been used Mark, probably not as much as many I'm guessing though.[/QUOTE] Mine could have been used more, but I forget about the mats until after I've finished the job usually.
My fatboy mat got used today when I changed the inner track rods on the piglet. I forgot I have the work crimbo doo to suit-up for tonight so there's gonna be some serious scrubbing occurring later. I hate wearing a suit - people always mistake me for security lol.
