Anyone who has bought any of my stuff

by Demon, 03-09-2019, 06:56 PM

Hi All,

Just a quick one really to ask a favour to anyone who has bought any of the items i have made.

Im currently in the process of getting a website setup to show the stuff i have created and whats available and new items on the way. Its about time i actually got round to this as i have so much stuff i seem to be doing that it makes sense having it all in one place, rather than spread out all over the place :laugh:

Now as part of the website i wanted to have a feedback section and have some comments from people that have bought one of my gearknobs, dial sets, etched plates, clock panels etc.

If anyone who has bought any of the items from me could write a couple of words feedback that would be most helpfull.

Can be anything really, if its a few words about dispatch time, quality of workmanship etc. If you could just add your first name and city your from that would also be great.

Many thanks everyone,

Jason

Top Gear USA

by Stoney, 03-09-2019, 05:41 AM

Last night I caught the very end of Episode 1 of Top Gear USA on BBC Three, so thought I'd catch up on the majority that I missed now.

Looks pretty good, literally taken the Top Gear concept and turned it American, but it's so similar! Down to filling old cars with water to see how much they leak, picking a car each and all arguing their's is best, racing cars against other forms of transport, make your own camper, various other challenges, car tests on disused runways, "Big Star, Small Car"...... you get the idea! Not as good as the original, obviously, but well worth a watch all the same.

Some great quotes so far (about a Lambo, I forget which one) "It's terrifying and exciting. Like being aroused at gun point." And (about a Dodge Viper) "It's like a mean horse, that doesn't like people sitting on it's back!"

Project LOLerCoaster

by jimxms, 02-09-2019, 07:00 AM

Wanting to stay in the Lex family while also giving my wife and kids some more comfort and legroom I decided upon an LS430.

If I'm honest, its a bit of an ugly duckling, but being a 2005 model it's slightly less ugly than the early ones - and the one I picked up is fully loaded right down to the radar cruise control.

Why LOLerCoaster....well as you all probably know the other Jim has already affectionately his LS430 'doofus' - a play on words of DFS (sofa on wheels). So my project is going to be LOL (Land of Leather), Coaster (because you just feel like you're coasting everywhere in it) and LOLerCoaster (because at the moment the ride is making us all feel a bit sick!)

Anyway pics will soon follow once I have the car insured and can take it somewhere picturesque....

Help needed?

Iphone 3GS with signal woes.. I want to kill it !

by BOOSST, 01-09-2019, 02:45 PM

Poxy iphone is driving me nuts.. so any solutions other than smashing it with a hammer for you tube greatfully acepted cared:

Its an 18 month old 3GS, so out of warranty.
I have had it checked, antenna is all ok and connected, everything works fine on the screen etc

I have reset it, restored it, kicked it, swore at it and even updated it with the IO5 software etc..

But.. still no signal....

I have looked on you tube and apart from a variety of advice, I have deducted that there are a lot of ***** out there that are to happy to be on a webcam :Overkill:

So, any good advice.. ?

Couriers. Arrrggghhhh!!!

I bought a new bootlid on eBay so that I can finally get my T-Wing spoiler painted and fitted.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290615593884?s...1439.l2649







It was delivered this morning by TNT.

The packaging.....looks well enough protected.











Opened up the first corner and saw this....







To say that I'm not entirely happy with TNT is putting it mildly.

I have contacted them and they have fobbed me off, although this has clearly been smashed around their van.

I am now in contact with the courier agent whom the delivery was booked through......I await a response
