I have nine

Clanger, that'd be really helpful thanks, I've tried Yell and didn't get much. But I'm sure there's plenty of little B&Bs that aren't listed Thumbs Up

Schythe; I'm Mech Eng with CAD, though thats a bit misleading as we only do a single CAD based module per year, and each one has been student centred learning, so no lectures or tutorials or anything. We're pretty much self taught. Feel free to PM or ask in the CAD thread if you get stuck with anything, it's a horrible learning curve

Ahh right, yeah that's very misleading! I like CAD, well the idea of it, but actually doing it is much harder! The biggest problem I have is with not fully defining my dimensions, but it's pretty fun when stuff works.

Are you 3rd year then?

So the stuff in the CAD thread, is that with solid works ?

Did you do it all on uni computers, or have you found a torrent that can get you a pirate copy ?

I wouldnt mind having a dabble, if you gave a link to a torrent for solidworks that works.

I tried to download it ages ago, but couldnt get it to work, might have needed a key or something.

I've had a play around on google sketchup, and it would be interesting to see what the professionals use.

Colin - there are torrents out there, but my home PC is a slow laptop so I've never bothered, you can try caligari which is free, though I can't comment on it as I've never used it.

Schythe, at some point in the next few days I was planning to present some stuff as sorta tutorials, as I've had quite a few PMs about help with this and that, so keen an eye out for them. When you have the basics its so much easier to learn.

Covdude. I'm not going to rise to you calling me a liar. I could easily prove that I'm telling the truth, but that wouldn't really benefit me at all. I probably wont even get the job.

It's not CAD, it's for 3D modelling, but the principles are similar. It also has a fierce learning curve but there are lots of tutorials and help sites available.

And it's free, so you don't have to steal it.

Wtf you on about, i can't recall if your a real life mate of warped .. if your not, your welcome to stay at mine, i live 200m from the main cov train station which is one change at nuneaton, to get to hincley.

Rolling Eyes Idea


ha, sorry. I thought "do you know warped" was a euphemism for being a bullshitter. Thanks for the offer, but I need to be there at 9am so it'd have to be walking distance. Rather than relying on trains at stupid O clock in the morning

He's got a morning interview and he lives in plymouth or maybe portsmouth. The interview is not too far from Birmingham

That ride would not have him too fresh to shine.

Having said that well done cov dude for making the offer, as I think thats the best one Tristan is gonna get.

I doubt there is going to be anyone on here walking distance from the place who will make an offer.

IF you make the assumption that BCF guises are in actual fact a reflection of real life persona’s then you’d have to possess balls of steel to roll up to Cov’s gaff with your sleeping bag ‘n jim jams and be 100% certain of coming out without being flushed down the bog reptile style, buried in the refurbished back yard or at the very least being at the wrong end of a torrent of unhinged potty mouthed abuse.

There’s nothing more important in your near future than this interview right now Tristan...

...except a recce and subsequent field report on Cov’s dwelling, character and fry-up skills. Fuck the job and think of how you wanna be remembered in the annals of BCF history – job hunting tosser or a reconnaissance mission reporting legend.

If it’s the former of the two, good luck with the interview you career focused Nobber Thumbs Up

Apparently, Rohypnol is incredibly more-ish.

I've sent this thread to the people I know who do live a stroll away from the factory, and it's basically their call now.

If I were Tristan, I would consider taking a tent and camping. I know for a FACT there is ample camping around there, is because Mallory Park Circuit is just up the road.

You can camp here: The Coach House Inn, Church Road, Kirkby Mallory, Leics LE9 7QE Tel: 01455 844461 email: sue.coachhouse.googlepages.com (literally 10-15 mins drive from Triumph)

Covdude may be an easy target, but he is actually the only person to have made an offer, not a bad one either and I think he deserves some credit for that.

He particularly deserves credit, as he is potentially opening up his home to public ridicule too. As he is a bit of a character, I'm sure there are some aspects of his accomodation which could be seen as a bit unusual in a bad way.

I know clanger is trying to help with the camping suggestion, but I would suggest that camping a night before an important, possibly life changing interview, is a very bad idea indeed.

Yeah, I would of taken up Covdude if I was riding. But although I have 9 bikes, none are on the road atm. No time to sort small problems with dissertation due. Sorry for the misunderstanding, though I find it quite funny that I automatically thought "do you know Warped" was a euthemism for being a bullshitter.

I rebuilt a friend of a friends DNA50 yesterday, so money isn't going to be an issue. Plus I may be able to reclaim expenses. So the accomodation is sorted, but thanks Clanger and Covdude Thumbs Up
