  4. What was your first car?

    in Motoring Section

    Posted

    My first on the road car! Was a mini 1275 gt which was fully rally prepared, got pulled all the time in it but I did drive like a bit of a d##K...

     

    Then the list is endless, here's a few..

     

    Mk1 fiesta xr2

    Peugeot 205 gti (1.6) in Miami blue wish this was still in my garage)

    Mk2 escort rs Turbo

    Fiat punto gt

    Peugeot 405 sri

    Peugeot 405 mi16

    Citroen saxo vts

    Citroen xarsa vts

    Renault Clio 182 trophy,bought new kept it for 3 years as a second car and sold it for what I paid for it (it was a cancelled order so I didn't pay VAT) wish I still had this too.

    Lotus Elise

    Then lots of sports bikes!!!!!

     

    Married and kids!!!!!!! Boring stuff to follow....

     

    Volvo xc90

    Vw tiguan, worst car I've ever owned

    Alfa 147

    BMW 130i m sport with 300bhp (wife liked driving it more than me!!)

    Audi a6 black edition

    Jeep patriot(gun truck)

     

    But by far one of the best was a jimny that I bought off here as my first shooting truck, it was a heap, but it took me back to when I first used to drive heaps around the fields on the farm, it smelt funny, the wheels would shake when I got to ,50 mph my missus refused to get in it... however I sold it a year after buying it for double the price I paid to someone who wanted it for off road use.... still miss it as does my daughter..

     

    There's loads more but it would take me too long to list!!! Just think of all the money we've collectively lost!!!

  6. Tesco mobile phones

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    I've been on Tesco mobile for the last six or seven years, they are just 02 really. I've had no issues with them at all, had a contract with them first with a HTC phone then went to a sim only deal then when I wanted a new phone went back to a contract, I'm now on a sim only again.... called them up once while I was working in London as I'd run out of data, they just gave me lots of free extra data with no charge.... all in all I've had a good service from them.

     

    Hope this helps, Tedly

    I must admit this season wasn't as good as the others however it's one of the only programs that both the good lady and i enjoy watching together, so for that it still gets my vote.... although last nights wasn't "clever" just a bit over the top...

    Yes you will have to pay the second home tax, if you go on the government web sight they have a calculator, now if you sell your home you can claim it back within three years of the purchase of the second home.

     

    I've just bought a derelict property for my family to live in the future and it cost me an extra 10000 which I'll never get back as I'm a landlord😬

  17. Buying Christmas presents.

    I was once told that this country is about ten years behind America in certain things, think about credit and finance, for years Americans think nothing of buying cars on the never never and paying with there must have credit cards.... unfortunately we are going the same way....

     

    I do have a credit card which I only use when......... I go to America😁

    Right got to get back to wrapping the kids presents😁

  18. Cheeky buyer's

    in General Shooting Matters

    Posted · Edited by Tedly47

    I always am over honest with things I sell and price them accordingly... however you still get the chancers! Had someone turn up for a gun that we'd spoken about on the phone, I'd had 3 offers on the phone for the asking price however I'd said that the guy had been the first to contact me so he gets first refusal, the gun was mint and I mean mint, I'd told him not to turn up without the asking price but he still tried to knock the cost of the fuel for travelling up!!!!!! Nope it is what it is and I told you that on the phone... he paid in full...

     

    I had a motor bike up for sale on the dreaded evil bay, it was my pride and joy and was mint, guy comes and offers me silly money, I declined but told him as he's local if I get any better offers I'll let him know... two days later he bought the bike for 1500 pound more than he offered as he knew he wouldn't find a better one, silly really as if he was more sensible I'd of taken a 1000 more than he offered but it cost him another 500 to secure it...

     

    I don't mind haggling but if something is priced fairly in the first place why bother...

    I've got one of the original vodaphone phones, the one with the phone on top of a Battery pack that was the size of a breeze block... my father had them fitted to his wagons and he needed a mobile version, the sales man turned up in a new Porsche 944 Turbo in brown!!! Took me for a spin to keep my dad happy... bloody hell them were the days....

     

    On another note, my good lady is very intelligent however she's blonde and sometimes comes out with comments that can only be described as "hopelessly stupid" I do love her though!!!

  21. Norica 3 shot bolt action .410

    in Guns for Sale (Private Sales)

    Posted

    Yes, me too. I own two .410's. One's a S/S Yildiz and the other is an old folding type 'poachers' gun. I use this when dispatching Foxes in traps.

    You and me both Steve, I'm only letting this one go as I've just bought a yildiz sxs multi choke with great wood and I also have a old poachers folder with a skeleton stock which has been restored and is mint, I love the challenge of the .410 it's a very underestimated calibre...

     

    Cheers MrB we have had some good shooting with this gun haven't we, let's hope the new owner has as much fun..

  22. Best boots

    in Guns & Equipment

    Posted · Edited by Tedly47

    Another one for Meindl. I've stopped buying wellies every other season and invested in expensive boots which will last years.

    I must admit I love my wellies.... however I bought a pair of of these and I think there even better!
