  1. In my younger days, when I was 19, I bought a Ford Capri Ghia. It was only a 2 years old and as far as I was concerned, it was the 'mutts nuts'. Going forward, the other vehicle was my Land Rover Freelander 2 TD4 which I bought new in 2008. It was excellent both on and off road. Sadly, I had to get shot of it 13 years later.
  2. For Sale. In excellent condition. £15:00 plus postage of your choice.
  3. I agree. And, when the police looked at the 'bullet hole' in the windscreen, 'they' said it was a .22 calibre. I believe it was also stated that the rifle had been 'altered' to make it above the 12ft/lb legal limit. I wonder if the rifle was tested to check the ft/lb?
  4. I agree. The Llandeilo ones were excellent, but like most game fairs, went down hill with less and less firearms etc on show. I might attend the one next year just to see for myself how it is. It probably (hopefully not) will be just as bad but it's not too far to travel to the ground for me.
  5. I've owned 3 in the past years and stupidly sold them for something else. I use a CZ452 for most of my rabbit control but I've bought a S&W MP 15-22 fo semi aoti use. Great on targets so far but I haven't tried it on vermin as yet.
  6. The above will be held at Glanusk Estate, Crickhowell (NP8 1LP) Hopefully I will be able to attend.
  7. https://www.marchscopes.co.uk/product/magnetospeed-t100-hit-indicator/ A good idea? . Good idea or just another gimick????
  8. I think you are correct. The flashing radiator sign has stopped now the heating is off. I ran the water tap and that symbol started to flash.
  9. I've recently had the above fitted. This afternoon I noticed that on the panel, the 'radiator' sign is flashing (not red though) and don't know what this is indicating. The heating is working okay. Any ideas? Thanks.
  10. UPDATE: I've just taken out an insurance policy with Swinton (essentials) which is indentical to the one I have now, and the price was £297:06. I contacted Hastings Direct again to ensure that they do not automatically renew my policy when it expires (as stated on their website) and a stroppy bitch tried all ways to keep me with them, despite me telling her that I have already paid another company. Also, by going through Go Compare, I get £250 towards any excess that I may have to pay if I have a bump etc.
  11. My insurance is due for renewal on Jan 1st '24. I'm with Hastings Direct and have a full comprehensive policy with max' no claims discount and key protection. The price I paid for this years insurance was £286:43. I've just had an email from them stating that the new price will be £550:50. I've just contacted them and the guy I spoke to agreed that the quote was very high, however he can get that reduced, and then quoted £480:60! He did suggest that I look online to see if I can get like for like insurance cheaper. Time to check out the comparison websites, as I did for my current insurance.
  12. One of our favourite Fish & Chips restaurant is Franco's in Porthcawl south Wales. They sell a small piece of Cod for £6:25, large for £6:95 or you can have some Cod Bites (quite a few) for £5:35. Their Chips are £2:85 for a small bag and £3:95 for large (a good portion in both though)
  13. I have to say that I've always had good service via Amazon. Their returns policy is excellent.
  14. With all the problems and issues that myself and other's have had with various couriers, today, I received an item which I ordered on Amazon (US) on 24th November. It wasn't due to arrive until Dec' 8th. I've waited longer for items to arrive when ordered with UK companies.
  15. I think I'll visit the salt mines instead of the shooting range. Either can be booked as an extra with the package deal which includes transport from the hotel.
  16. We would be staying at the Q Hotel which is near places to eat etc. We would be going for 3 nights so not much time to see a lot of the sights. The hotel is room only so I would be grateful of any good places to visit for an evening meal. Thanks.
  17. Has anyone visited the above range or knows someone who has? I'm planning a trip to Krakow next year to visit Auschwitz, and there's an option to visit the range as well.
