As you seem interested in this subject mate , stick EASINGTON COLLIERY PIT DISASTER in google , it shows you a lot of things about the miner's that a minority tend to forget ! i can look at the old pit cage from yard and that's all that remains of what was basically the life of the village ,

Already got one stashed Tony , fwd but what a cracking little car

PM SENT

My brother had one of thr renault estates for a few years , nice enough car but the parts when it did go wrong were a fortune , so i would go for the astra

If i understand the stupid system right , you have to own the car for a certain amount of time before you get this scrappage allowance , so basically it's only worth that price to him , is that the way it works ?

I would be up for it , there is'nt much goes on around the north east ,

The colour is cobalt blue , the car is mrs laser's from capri power and the photo is from leeming bar services , hope this helps

I recognise that car , belongs to a madman off CP

Hoping to get a few probs sorted out with the car , but all being well should be able to join in with this one

Yeah , they did , i saw with my own eyes coppers waving tenners at striking miners , men who had not had a penny for month's and some people wonder why there was bad feeling and violence with the police

Well i live in what used to be a pit village and have done for all my life , i was 20 when the strike was on and my dad was on strike , i was working on the building sites , but as i had a firms van the cops used to stop me either leaving or coming back home as they thought i was transporting pickets to the colliery , i was bringing scrap wood home so people had a fire and picking the lads up at the beach banks as they carried sacks of coal off the beach , wether the strike was right or wrong , it's not my call but to this day they still will not speak to scabs under any circumstances , but even the profitable pits were shut down , they met every target that British Coal had , so brand new machinery was put into the colliery's , that was not needed to make them uneconomical , as my dad said as he was one of the last miners out of Easington Colliery , yes that's where Billy Elliot was filmed , the machines were left unused underground , millions of pounds abandonded , But it was'nt just the pit's that shut it changed so many villages , ruined a lot of peoples lives and i think that people are still paying the price of that strike Sorry for waffling on time for a

Welcome to OSF , another cappa can only be a good thing

As in the post above , Clarke 130 it's been spot on , especially if you can wait for the vat free day , it's even better

Welcome mate , not too far away from ya, Scotch Corner meet on 29 March

Welcome mate , just down the road from the toon in co durham

When i was driving taxi's a few years back , i ran over a kids foot who was waiting with his mother to cross the road and he darted forward when she was talking , i was only doing about 15 mph as i was coming up to lights and had a kid run straight into the side of the front wing as he came out between parked cars , the wing mirror sent him flying ,but luckily no injuries ,his mother was walking down the path with him as this happened , so i do'nt think you can count on the parent's to educate kids . BTW it's a bloody good cure for constipation when one of the little angels goes slamming into the side of the car

Simon . mk3 laserboy on CP has one of those for sale Steve

Is this the one you are on about ?

That van driver that goes arse over tit down the road wants to put the lottery on

Stripped the timing gear off today , and thank the lord look what's behind it ca'nt see any other damage so the bits must be from an earlier incident , BUT i am going to check every bolt i can see for tightness and if any are loose i can see a strip down on the horizon

Will keep an eye out for you Doc , never heard anything since Ireland meself , which is unusual as someone always seems to spot your old wheels

I put this on another site as well , and i think you are on the right part mate , gonna get it stripped today and keeping fingers very firmly crossed, will let u know the outcome

I knew it was a bad idea putting that lighter there for a bit of scale , but got what i deserved
