i'm canny pleased with it like


it only really goes out at weekends,being a bank holiday is a right bonus.Drive time is soo much better than lying underneath the bloody thing working on it.

goes well and have to say it sounds awsome

South Shields looks exactly the same as the last time I was there, fooking windy!

Have they finished changing all the road signs to fibreglass now? I heard they had a problem with pikeys

Last time I was near South Shields, I got stuck in a Q for the Tyne tunnel, absolute nightmare.

Judging by the title, you went out looking for some and found Murphy

Good pics

I think it was, I was delivering a pallet of metalwork to Jarrow & then a load of boxes to Morpeth.

Not quite had to get the mothers car out and jump it. going to take it off this evening and stick it on charge over night see if it just needs a good charge

driving it would of given it as good a charge as a standard battery charger would

the green light is on in the view hole on the battery so i'd hoped it would still be good,


murph i have another one here a Bosch silver 50ah if needed
