[kurosagi01]

Sounds too good to be true and if it is legit then what a bargain or a scam or the guy is an idiot for selling it so cheap if it's legit.

[HUSKIE]

Yeap, I messaged him and he gave me the address which is Bristol. Dunno if he is legit or scam. I asked him to post but he only accept bank transfer.

 

[dorsetknob]

There are a Couple of TPU members from Bristol
Maybe asking one of them for a verification Vist worth it

On an unrelated note... uhhhhhhhhh I dont actually know what to do with the shit that ive won. the 601 case is a good case but I like my spacious 760T, I already have a platinum rated AX760 powersupply and my AIO cools better although its pretty long in the tooth now. So apart from the cooler which might be somewhat useful to me. the rest i dont really care about.

Obviously i didnt expect to win anything but of course i always throw my name in the hat but a dark rock pro 4 would of really made my day. Now i gotta sell all the stuff ive won to get one.

[phill]

It's becoming the norm for the moment, I heard it's for all of June

 

[kurosagi01]

First world problem
I bought a new low profile trolley jack so I can do an oil change sometime soon and if it's constantly raining I won't be able to test it out -_-

 

[phill]

Unless you have a pit you can use it might be a little while before its dry....

 

[kurosagi01]

Sadly I don't. Maybe I should setup a giant gazebo.

I hope the weather clears up for the camping trip It's not been so great with the sun of late, I've missed cycling to work the last few days as it's been crap in the morning and then dry in the afternoon when I've left work.. Kinda frustrating...

I bet it will be a lovely holiday
My bike is getting a little old now but it's such a nice bike I don't mind it and it's done me well since I've had it Used to cycle in to work every day (did for 5/6 years) but when I got hit off by a bus, I decided, nope not anymore... But there was a load of roadworks going on so I decided rather than spending 45 minutes in the car trying to do 3.5 or 10 miles (depending on which way I go) I took the bike and can do it in about 15 minutes and it's helped with the weight loss too, happy bunny

I hope you sued the hell out of the bus company. Ive commuted in london by bike just as long and I have seen other cyclists being hit. I count my lucky stars that I never got hit or had any serious accidents during my bicycle commute days.

Ive come off my bike a few times due to mechanical issues but nothing serious. Hope you made a full recovery too.

Ah that'll make it all the better then, stress free holidays is what you should have!!

Well the bus thing was quite 'funny' in a way, saw him coming a way back behind me and pulled out to over take another cyclist in front of me, the bus driver never slowed down and continued to overtake but only allowed about a cyclists gap between himself and the bike I was overtaking, so when he went past, I bounced off the side of the bus twice and hit the tarmac.. What annoyed me even more so, was the fact he never pulled out far enough because there was another car coming.. I mean all this time he's now wasted because he couldn't wait 20 seconds for me to pass and wait for a suitable place/time to overtake..... Was kind of an interesting morning whilst getting to work...

Looked over the bike and saw my broken back light (all I was kinda worried about at the time) and didn't even think about taking his number/name etc and carried on to work. Got to work and was limping around, boss said to me was I alright and said I was hit off the bike this morning by a bus... He just looked at me strangely and that was that for a few hours. After a while I was starting to ache and struggle a bit but carried on till the end of my shift, some 12.5 hours later... I then walked to hospital as the misses at the time (now ex... not because of this but was a bit of an eye opener lol) which was about 2 miles, got checked over and then told to have time off work as I had a lot of bruising..
Wasn't such a fun experience even more so when I was struggling to get up and down the stairs but nothing broken or damaged otherwise on me (well not that I know of... no one's told me anything different lol) looking back I wish I had reported the guy as he was just purely stupid as mentioned above.. But hey ho... Now I just use pavements and such because the traffic has become so busy around here over the years I've lived here, I just don't trust anyone as I see people cutting up cyclists all the time all to try and save them some time...

Just like people driving, people overtake you to get one car in front and then sit in the traffic waiting for someone to let them in and then take out the front of the car they are pulling in front of... People just seem to have lost all patience and such.. I don't even mention mobiles and driving as that's another subject I really do hate with a passion....

/rant over lol

What you speak of reminds me of this video i watched just recently...

I think you can fill out an online form or something to have video footage emailed or posted to you within 24hrs of an event occuring. Though depending on what happened. some bus companies will send you on a wild goose chase to get that footage and by the time you get to it. its already been wiped.

Sounds like the driver didnt bother checking his mirrors before moving.

 

[phill]

People in vehicles just don't seem to have time to let anyone out, give way or anything for a while and it will only get worse I fear.. The roads are busy, a lot of people have so little patience they think barging into lanes into bikes, cars, you name it, there's so much footage around of people having near misses or causing accidents its unreal.

I bet most of the time as well, it's just because they couldn't be bothered to wait an extra 30 seconds or a minute or something to pass something safely.

The world we live in has changed and it's certainly not for the better I feel personally.. I feel very sorry for my daughters who will be growing up in it... Makes me sad even more so when I know I won't be here forever and be able to protect from it...

But still, enough of all this morbid crap.. Time for something to get us back on topic
