Well I heard they were hard, strong and with the caps quite shiny. Who doesn't like hard, strong and shiny :)

Oh boo, must've been something bad in the mini atmosphere with recent issues!

Yeah I think you're right. Bad mini vibes.

What's that Vinay? Been a member for more that 12 years and haven't seen it??

Apparently people in the US and UK can ship stuff to the export centre and then the buyer sorts out shipping from there. Or at least that is what I understand about it. Hence the question, I am quite confused

Surely it is illegal for a seller to offer international shipping and then after you win the item, they turn around and say they don't

Commercial site or Ebay?

Could be because of ebays new international thing, which you had to opt out of, if they didn't realise then they'd be offering international without realising.

I haven't paid yet and I won't until they sort out the shipping thing. I guess if they cancel the order, so that I don't pay anything I will let the item pass... It was on ebay. OK so they can cancel the order then?

I think I need to delete my ebay account... this is getting expensive :(

Haha, it's weird but I think we all think like that!

No! You can't just go cold turkey on ebay. You won't cope and will end up binge bidding. Cut down gradually ...with support from your friends and family.

if you place a full stop after the address for the website you access a secret level!

Guessing it isn't really worth it then. Still these speedos are so accurate that it will say 150 when you are really doing way less :P

actually yours will be in km wont it?
Feb 01 2015 07:36 PM -
Vinay-RS
It is. I thought we were talking km/h :) The mph values are on the inside. So my clubman speedo goes up to 140km/h or 90mph

Looking at some of the really rusty projects on here, I realise that "scrapped" cars over here can really be saved


Vinay-RS
It is rather annoying when a deadline a far away but you already know you aren't going to make it

Vinay-RS
Yeah that is not fun. An open office space should have a good vibe otherwise what's the point

black smoke, for a couple of seconds. Though the if there's smoke there's fire didn't happen. I saw no fire

maybe some petrol oil or other liquid burning off?
Jan 24 2015 05:26 PM -
Vinay-RS
Possibly cause it hasn't come back again. Hmm one of those weird mini things I guess

any suggestions?
Jan 22 2015 10:13 PM -

dive in with you max bid right at the last seconds, risky and I've left it to late before. bidding as you go just pushes the price up as someone will see it and increase their bid and so on
Jan 22 2015 10:17 PM -
Vinay-RS
ah, yeah I kind of bidded to my max value early and then it sort of skyrocketed at the end

I don't know. A mate of mine bought a fancy 100mm speedwell rev counter from the UK. How much do they cost on average?

should be able to get a good second hand one though for less
Jan 21 2015 06:52 PM -
Vinay-RS
yeah that is a bit pricey... plus when you add shipping and 40% for customs and VAT it becomes unreasonable. Guessing ebay might be a better bet
