    insurance

    i have insurance cover ( self employed ) through a compnay called combined insurance http://www.combinedeurope.com you pay for the cover you want , very friendly , i have accident insurance , and now im old ,hospital insurance ( it doesnt pay for private hospital cover but will pay if you stay in hospital or have time from work , the accident insurance is really good as you can get payment for breaking a finger ( from £50 to £500 ) per finger AND regardless of how you do it .... might break a couple need some new kit LOL ....the hospital cover i have cost me £164 per year and will pay £50.00 per day in patient( through accident) £25.00 per day to sit at home and get better £50 per day if your have a critical illness and £ 25 per day to sit at home and get better.. you can pay more to get higher cover , i got the basic cover . the best thing about it , is if you break a leg they pay you for the break £750 to i think £1500 for each broken bone and then they pay for the time in hospital and then pay more to sit at home ring them on 02085467738 e-mail csd@uk.combined.com NO IM NOT A SALES MAN JUST A PLUMBER
  2. had a great day mablethorpe today got 24 mph in a variable winds, but got turned out of the buggy 3 times getting stuck in the soft sands ,i need some wider tyres /wheels but not big foots i have no idea what to go for. i dont race the buggy, i only use for fun as it should be .... i have the standard barow wheels on it at the moment standard forks so i pressume they will need chaging to . on my old buggy i have 10" wide wheels ( from a sit and ride lawn mower "turf saver "tyres great on grass ) but they are only 18 mm axle / hub . Does anyone run different width wheels on the front to back. square profile on the back ,round profile on the front ( yep i know wheels are round before anyone says ) how wide should i go etc etc i havnt a clue on what to go for , looked at several buggies all run differnt wheels must be a reason or just cos its looks good i dunno.
  3. just taken delivery of a new 3.5 flexi rage , are there any tips on a good set up , ie bridal tips etc also any one going to mable this sunday got to try it if the weaters any good
  4. hi , ive got a 3.2 c quad ( broken front spar ) an old npw5 and my 2 year old 4.9 blade lll i need a kite that has less lift than the blade a better buggy kite , what should i look for im 16 stone got libre race buggy , but getting sick of getting maxed out and then being blown out of the buggy , when trying to slow for turns or just sitting there try to park the bloody thing and getting blown about ( getting to old for that) SOOOOO what should i do ,i have spoken to loads of buggy'ers at mablethopre beach , and most have said NOT to go for a smaller blade for the higher winds , and then all say get a different kite ????????????? As kites are built using some kind af theroy and not just lashed together, there must be a list of what kites at what size and what wind will give what results, rather than just going purly on what others use ( which i believe is what it will come to ) there are so many kites out there its to big a risk to go purly on what other say unless the masses tell that one kite is best .although i bought the blade on this result and have not been happy since , dont get me wrong the kite is good but its to full on all of time , even parked its brutal ,It could be that im just a compleate ARSE and using the kite above its design wind speeds but i havent got a wind speed indicator and dont really want one just a kite that will be user friendly
