Yep - it had the "Falkirk flavour". I couldn't find the photo of mine I was looking for - never mind, here is another. Fotogenic Falkirk - lol.

Very nice Anne! Is that near Cow Wynd?

guildimage footage is impressive quality. As with all these things they are becoming cheaper and getting better technically as every month passes.

Thanks all for views. I will see what transpires on the morning of the end of the listing. Talking about a hifi shop with only a couple of dozen feedbacks.

I dont have the same feedback count. Two of the others do.

Yes - knew the ids were fake. There are only 17 bids and about 6 of them are from the (169) guy(s) and me. I put a big bid in to last until end of listing on Friday and this was topped by £20 by a (169) guy. I thought it looked suspicious.

Someone sellling item on epain starts price at £00.01 As bidding increases, your relatively high bid is topped by someone with different id but same number of transactions as person who started at 1p. p***t (169) £630.00 e***r (169) £00.01 Is this just coincidence (I accept it is not impossible) or would you experienced ebayers see it as somewhat fishy and worth reporting? Cheers, Iain

That's not nice, young Kip!

Well done - I thought it would be icy and misty today, there, but didnt want to rain on your parade! Yes - never go in winter conditions without an ice axe - fundamental since the year dot.

Print-through sometimes apparent if you play loud track at really loud volume - nothing to spoil normal listening experience. Not as bad as some surface noise on old vinyl - part of the charm we are currently being told by old vinyl evangelists! I bought a lot of TDK SA-60s before they became scarce/overpriced. If they are thicker, could use them for recordings on which you dont want any risk of print-through?

I only owned modest decks like Technics and Pioneer when I was working. I always defend them compared with Naks, etc when elitists try to knock them. I used two consumer decks from Comet or somewhere for about 20 years without any problem. The tapes I made from that era sound perfect today when played. Never had a wow and flutter problem since 1st cheapy budget deck of around 1978. The music producer of the widely used tracks I mentioned bought my Yamaha KX580SE. I am not saying they use these for masters, but will involve them somewhere in the production - all instruments played by himself!

That's what I did. Just over £100 IIRC. ---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ---------- A fuse? - great! First things we checked. Wish mine had been that! I ended up spending a few quid buying bits on eBane, too.

Thanks for your comment dr_mat! Makes a change from "what's a cassette, anyway?" (it will come!) lol. Yes, understand the position for your generation. Even I have downloaded from itunes all the hit singles I loved 1956-64 as a schoolkid, that we heard on the radio, and with no record player. Too expensive to acquire later when working by buying the albums containing maybe one or two hits. However, I had my first reel to reel by 1966, cassette deck by 1979 and have about a couple of hundred cassettes recorded since then. One tended to carefully select the tracks when compiling tapes and a good many hours of one's life was spent doing that. Those of you that did that will remember the ritual. The analogue sound of tape from quality decks (the ordinary working man could never afford when they were new) thro' modern amplifiers and speakers makes it all worthwhile. I have sold three hi end cassette decks to younger guys running small companies, who produce music. One went to Guernsey and the other two to Somerset and Wiltshire IIRC. Cottage industries maybe, but one guy has had hundreds of his tracks played on tv (as backing music) here and in America. You would not believe the mega programs that have used his stuff. So, as with vinyl, plenty are not abandoning the older technology - newer is not always better in all ways - and the young are even getting into it again, as we know. Thanks BBC4. $hit I have Jeremy Clarkson's favourite album!

Parting with this example of a pinnacle in audio engineering if anyone is interested, or knows someone who might be. Sad to let it go, but the Dragon and Revox remain. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251226138978?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649

I had my ecu replaced with one from Stealth motoring. Prices may not be as high as you think from Vince. Give him a call - he knows a lot about this stuff and Corrados.

Once in summer 1965. I remember a scary girl in a pub in Bethesda, too.

I hope to sell the Storm this year. One guy interested in coming up here in Spring to look. June 1995. 108K. Mostly unmodified except for Goodridge/Samco. e.g. Not what you'd call mint, though. Was looking for £4k last year. Probably accept £3.5 this year. Classic green with cream leather. I am second mature owner (67). Pics in gallery.

My GP has a Subaru estate of some kind. It looks macho, purposeful and mean. PS - I knew guys who were into Scimitars, and I had a ride in two - but that was over 30 years ago Wullie! Never see any these days - they could be pigs reliability-wise, but the cool looks lured many.

Sounds like paranoia because you have acquired a car that is precious to you. People are probably still driving as selfishly and agressively as they normally do - it's just that your senses have been heightened and are imagining things are worse. Or maybe you are sporting some pretentious "go faster" crap? Keep a low profile if you want to be ignored. The more material possesions - above the basic needs - we have, the more problems and worries we have. In a Citroen Dyane or a 1.0 Corsa - other drivers will not perceive you as a threat or competitor and you can mostly chill out. Well, you can until that juggernaut behind you thinks you are deliberately going slow! It's an increasingly cruel world and I sense people are less tolerant of each other with every passing week. I blame rock 'n' roll - but I like it.

There are companies that specialise in the removal of bodily fluids and odours. (Reminding me of an Inbetweeners episode this one.)

Cheers - I worked at a place in Fife with Lightnings and Javelins for a few weeks in a previous life. Never heard the term - mind you, I never heard anything - period - 'cos of the racket! Nice of the MOD to train people so that they can look after their motor cars! (Jealous) Thanks to your recommendation from an esteemed source, I will have to be digging out that bottle of Rain-X again.

Take care - respect the laws of physics and the potential serious dangers of ice and snow. I am dealing with a case where a young man (19) dabbed the brakes on a bend on a rural, icy road, spun round, hurtled into a drystane dyke striking a lone woman rambler and pinning her by the legs to it for an instant before bouncing back off the wall to have the rear of the car demolished when it struck a van which had slowed before approaching the narrow bend from the other side. The elderly lady just happened to be the only pedestrian for miles on her morning stroll. She had to have both legs amputated. At least two lives ruined by a moment's lack of judgement on a beautiful, sunny, frosty morning like today. In December 1995, just down the road from here, two 20-year old girls from the town - schoolfriends of our youngest son on their way to a pre-Christmas shopping trip, skidded on "wetness" (which happened to be black ice formed after rain and sleet), and spun into the path of a Rover coming the other way. One girl was killed almost instantly and the other has been in a wheelchair, paralysed and almost without speech - ever since. You wil never believe the devastation that can easily happen before it is too late, unless you have had a lucky escape, or know the details of similar accidents, or are in the emergency services. Think and stay safe.

What's a liney, young Nathe?

Before you have even started, that's two ways you can floor me, Anne! All my disco vinyl/Cd - well, I just dance in ma heid!

Oil isn't water. Do you young guys get science at school? (Kidding!)
