General Discussion Area / Re: Wood flooring advise please.

« on: 07 February 2011, 14:49:22 »

Get some reclaimed Parquet flooring. It took me ages to clean the old bitumin off the back of the stuff I bought and ages to lay it because wifey wanted a herringbone effect but once done I think it looks the dogs and it didn't cost that much to do our 18ft X 21ft sitting room

all of our downstairs was parquet floored when we moved in,first job was carpet throughout ,seems a waste but neither myself or wifey like it

when I was 18 I knocked an 11 year old off his bike in a 40 limit,it was a big impact which had him come through the windscreen then when I braked hard he rolled off the front of the car and I nearly ran him over as well.It was the most frightening thing that has happened to me in 34 years of driving,luckily the lad was not badly hurt(in fact he walked away with minor cuts and bruises).it wasn't my fault but the police at the time still tried to do me for driving without due care,luckily for me the lads gran was sat in a layby on the opposite side of the road and saw everything and that saved my bacon but I am still very wary of cyclists and give them a very wide berth

Was indeed one of the best (and funniest) TG's for a while, and it's always good to see the Aussie's taken down a peg or two!!
There was no mistaking the V8 rumble coming from the Transit after they had finished the race and Hammond returned to park up.

Umm transit had a v12 mate xj220 lump

Umm xj220 had a v6 twin turbo engine closely related to metro 6r4 lump

Doh! Yep, just looked it up and it was indeed the 3.5 V6 twin turbo with quad cams. Anyway, my drift was that it was definitely not a standard Transit 4 pot!

I think the original design was for a 6.2lt v12 and 4 wheel drive but by the time the bean counters had there say it ended up with said metro engine
