DirtyDT

I almost brought an Anglia but my first car was one of these;

Loved that Drewps. I thought of Bell helmets for some reason a third of the way through but it could have been my mates and I who were doing the same things, at the same time, about 15 Miles away.

No win, no fee..................................... Get in there girl!

Hi and welcome. It seems you are a similar age to me, I guess. I am trying to make Stafford but will be in the car as I am looking for parts for the restore.

Didn't watch the video as there seemed to be quite a religious overtone on the site. Not really a God worry'er myself.

Hi and welcome. Great introduction and background.

I was going to buy a new mirror, but on reflection, I will look into it.

Here??????????

The wheels on the link went for £40. I do like the supermoto look. I recently sold my SLR650 but would but another. The problem is that unless you have a fair few quid to throw at the mods, happy in the knowledge that you will not see any of it back, then that is OK. Plus the insurance will be a killer.

Hi and welcome. I am a little down the hill from you! half a dozen M1 junctions.

It does look odd. If you look at the spark plug hole on in the second picture there is the same type of run on the top of the head. It was a good bargain.

I would agree that it sounds earth related.

Cheers 2 wheels. I hate punctures but good luck with the lottery. I need a big euro win. £100m should do it. Not sure what you mean OG? Can you see a problem? If you are talking about These; They are just paint and not elongated holes.

G'day and welcome. Great intro. Good to see you are throwing a couple spanners at the carby

I think the ginger prince should go on Jeremy Kyle and demand a DNA test! Get as far away as possible from Charlie the clown, princess horse head and Phil the Greek!

:lol: :lol: Arthur Dailey / Del boy Trotter special.

It was supposed to be called "subtlety"

Happy birthday Paul. Fabulous song from one of my favourite bands. Best listened to loud.

Now that would be cruel 'bille de grande proportion'................................... Isn't he a porn star?

Yep. I forgot that. I once had to go to the bank to pay £20 for an item and the bank (Nat Thieving B4stard West) charged me £20 for the privilege. That was lucky. The import tax is hit and miss but if you have to pay it they tax the postage too so be prepared. Only had to pay once and that was a piece of junk from Canada for the DT. And it took 3 months to get here Also people need to be a ware that the customs folk can make up the "actual" value of the item so writing $5 - gift on the customs label may not work. I try and keep everything non eu to around £20 and anything bigger I budget for the tax and it is a bonus if I don't have to pay it.

where is the groan icon when you need it? I think it was hansoffmedaughter Hoard, I say!! I have SV, DT and TS parts in the shed at the moment. You never know when the next DT of other will come along

My Mum said I shouldn't talk to strangers

Thank you very much I look on foreign ebays now before the UK one for bits. You just need to be careful of pattern parts sold as NOS and any import tax liabilities if outside the EU. I have even forgiven the Germans for bombing our chip shop (well at least for tonight)

I got a couple of packages today of suff I had brought for the Suzi. One was some pattern parts for the far east and were what I ordered. The other was from German ebay. Here is the story The other week I managed to win 2 German ebay auctions from the same guy once I had clarified that he would combine the postage. The auctions only had a couple of bidders. One was for a side panel, 2 chrome exhaust shields and a painted secondary exhaust head shield (one auction). The other was a NOS Cylinder head. A big box turned up today. Opening it up there was a lot of German newspaper in the box. I rummage through and come across an air filter box and cover with the internal mesh still inside it (better that the one I have), next out was chain guard (better that the one I have, after that an oil tank with a cap (better that the one I have and I didn't have a cap), next was a headlight case, one again better that the one I have. Then came the side panel in Ok condition, the 2 chrome heat shields in great condition and the metal heat shield in great condition. Next out of the box was a very good condition kick starter. Lastly, and wrapped separately was the NOS cylinder head. So a big thank to to the guy in Germany who threw in all the extra stuff for free, a lot of it I needed or was better than what I had. How much was the stuff? Well the free stuff was free. The First auction for 4 items I won for £13 plus postage and the NOS head.................... Well pictures first and the price after................... Oh yes. The NOS head was £18 plus the combined postage................... Bargain
