They never read 1984 either, it seems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither I would put the loot towards one of these, http://www.50cycles....impulse_11.html Nice! I'd have to use my 800 or so quid towards building a new computer system, I think. This one I'm using is getting to feel pretty old and obsolete these days. Actually, it was old an obsolete when I built it in December of '13 from miscellaneous parts I dug up from the old church bone yard. It's gasping and wheezing a bit lately. 800 pounds sterling is 1190.80 USD right now. I could build a fire-breathing monster for that.

Capt.Crow Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 That's one cool bike . Maybe the Mercedes bike could be a good second choice. As for a new PC I recon A big 40" screen with a wireless remote and all the bells and whistles would still leave enough for a litre of 10yr old Jameson .To sip as I watched the latest streaming movies . Talking of which "Vera Drake" is a real heart plucker . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt.Crow Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 After posting the above I strayed off into EV land and just blew away 5hrs rooting around the EV sites . I think If the Nissan Leaf was just a tad less expensive I would be really tempted . But that wore off today after hauling 1/2 tonne of metal 30mls to the recyclers . I made enough for a cpu . and polluted half the county . Couldn't do that with an EV. pity :alien: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
