    Speaking of expensive wheels, I saw some 21inch spinners... OUCH!!!

    I could at present afford a good car, but the running costs over a bike would be rather draining...... mainly parking

    It all went pear shaped

    Just my luck innit.
    The major shareholder of the caryard had a major health problem come up.
    I was offered full ownership of the yard But With such short notice i couldn't raise the 200k needed .
    The yard is now closed. Ive got my investment back but that wasn't where i wanted to be.
    To say I'm gutted is an understatement.
    I'm now at the belmont branch of Devonport car company and the plan to own my own yard is still in place just not today.
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    really sorry to hear that frosty.
    a real kick in the nuts, but one you'll undoubtedly recover from with your sunny disposition.
    will drop in to visit soon!

    Yep, major bummer dude :disapint: Hey at least it was not due to "Alanistation" Here's some good advise for "Finding Nemo":
    "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming" (you could replace that with "just keep rideing ").
    I find it very handy to repeat to myself when life is pileing on the "shit" ("swimming" stops you from "sinking" in it).
    Drop me a line if you need a chat, OK?

    HERE'S A BIT OF MP FOR YOU FROSTY:



    MR. FRISBEE III:
    Cheer up, Brian. You know what they say.
    Some things in life are bad.
    They can really make you mad.
    Other things just make you swear and curse.
    When you're chewing on life's gristle,
    Don't grumble. Give a whistle.
    And this'll help things turn out for the best.
    And...



    [music]
    Always look on the bright side of life.
    [whistling]
    Always look on the light side of life.
    [whistling]



    If life seems jolly rotten,
    There's something you've forgotten,
    And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
    When you're feeling in the dumps,
    Don't be silly chumps.
    Just purse your lips and whistle. That's the thing.
    And...



    Always look on the bright side of life.
    SEVERAL:
    [whistling]
    MR. FRISBEE:
    Come on!
    SEVERAL:
    Always look on the right side of life,
    [whistling]



    MR. FRISBEE:
    For life is quite absurd
    And death's the final word.
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.
    Forget about your sin.
    Give the audience a grin.
    EVERYONE:
    Enjoy it. It's your last chance, anyhow.
    So,...



    Always look on the bright side of death,
    [whistling]
    Just before you draw your terminal breath.
    [whistling]



    MR. FRISBEE:
    Life's a piece of shit,
    When you look at it.
    Life's a laugh and death's a joke. It's true.
    You'll see it's all a show.
    Keep 'em laughing as you go.
    Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
    And...



    EVERYONE:
    Always look on the bright side of life.
    [whistling]
    Always look on the right side of life.
    [whistling]
    MR. FRISBEE:
    Come on, Brian. Cheer up.
    EVERYONE:
    Always look on the bright side of life!
    [whistling]
    Always look on the bright side of life!
    [whistling]
    MR. FRISBEE:
    Worse things happen at sea, you know.
    EVERYONE:
    Always look on the bright side of life!
    MR. FRISBEE:
    I mean, what you got to lose? You know, you come from nothing.
    EVERYONE:
    [whistling]
    MR. FRISBEE:
    You're going back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!
    EVERYONE:
    Always look on the bright side of life!
    [whistling]
    MR. FRISBEE:
    Nothing will come from nothing. You know what they say?
    EVERYONE:
    Always look on the bright side of life!
    MR. FRISBEE:
    Cheer up, you old bugger. Come on. Give us a grin. There you are. See?
    EVERYONE:
    [whistling]
    MR. FRISBEE:
    It's the end of the film. Incidentally, this record's available in the foyer.
    EVERYONE:
    Always look on the bright side of life!
    MR. FRISBEE:
    Some of us have got to live as well, you know.
    EVERYONE:
    [whistling]
    MR. FRISBEE:
    Who do you think pays for all this rubbish?
    EVERYONE:
    Always look on the bright side of life!
    MR. FRISBEE:
    They'll never make their money back, you know. I told him.
    EVERYONE:
    [whistling]
    MR. FRISBEE:
    I said to him, 'Bernie.' I said, 'They'll never make their money back.'
    EVERYONE:
    Always look on the bright side of life!

    You can only go up when thou art at the bottom Mr Frosty

    If all you were doing is sell branded clothing and accessories, you'd probably do well...

    Not too sure about bikes, though.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
