The grandfather of a school friend bought her a 120 as a joke, it cost him £45 from a neighbour. Wicked car. We were all rolling in metros so a bit of extra room made a big difference. Then another friend used to borrow her dads montego turbo and that was the car to get a lift in. Quick as fuck when you're 17, no idea how she was insured as it was a company vehicle.

Go to Peaslake (North Downs) and follow some riders. There will be loads of people there, just rock up and go for a ride. What do you ride?
How weird, there's a pic of my mate in the bus shelter.

Minus points for GTR
- Hideous
- Too wide
- Having to explain why you sold your Porsche 911 Turbo to buy a fucking Nissan to a potential lover
- General owner perception is of PH twat / compulsive masturbator
- Everyone on trackdays will think you're talentless, no matter how fast you lap
- You could buy an NSX for the same money

If you're talking about your car to a 'potential' lover then there's a fair chance that 'potential' is about as near as you're gonna get. Though countless numbers of hot bitches (my Mum anyway) get into my van and go, "ooh, I like this, it's very high up, you can see loads more." Never underestimate a van...
The rest of it is all legit though.

I've just re-wrapped the handle on my old survival knife. I used the last bit of twine camping last year. It's been wrapped and re-wrapped on occasion since I got it aged 11. The handle is hollow and is the perfect size for storing matches. The saw blade on the back is very effective but as it is quite a short cutting edge you can generally break any branch that the saw could cut. I have only used the saw for notching things allowing me to fit two sticks together before tying over them. The origin of the saw is not for woodwork, but for cutting through polycarb aeroplane windshields and possibly even thin alu 'plane panels. These were initially called 'Egress' (to leave) knives. It has the classic Bowie style clip point (front end cut-away) but this is not sharpened as it's unnecessary and weakens the tip. The spine is fairly wide to allow you to bash the back of it with a mallet / heavy stick to make controlled chopping easier. I've only done this a couple of times but it's the best way to get through skinny rabbit bones if you've nothing more appropriate.
It's from a company called Scalemead, they were UK based and sold a lot of stuff like this (and air rifles and such). The other side of the blade says 'Vanadium Stainless Japan'.
I imagine kids these days don't go camping much, let alone carry a 5" blade, but this was a vital piece of kit for me, I could pretend to be Rambo all day, and cut sausages up for dinner. This is obviously not an EDC knife, but it has it's place in a camping scenario and has been used relatively regularly for over 25 years.

I'm with upsidedown, the soul is good for 140mm but even cotic recommend it is fitted with 120mm forks. If they are 150mm then cotic warrenty is void if it snaps (it won't, so who cares) but it'll lift the bb and make the steering a bit ponderous. Slamming that stem will improve the front end, screw the aesthetics.
I'm back and I'm bad, this much is true
But I'm rolling on my own, got no sweet fixeh crew
Like a cross of Messyrage and yer man Johnny Rau
If you buy from me you'll likely say 'Ow
Bollocks' Yes, I'll sell you a pup
Moan on the forum and I'll say shut up
PayPal gift for hundreds of pounds
Under my bed is where I've got mounds
Of cash, a stash, a wad to flash
More money in bike parts than I made in selling hash
