I just have em saying P#*s off you old fart,only thing most women like about me is my hair,most of them say they would kill for hair like mine.

Are you sure they didn't say they'd kill themselves if they had hair like yours?  :whistler:  :lol:

+ A new set of deep plush, charcoal coloured Seat Cover World sheepskin seat covers are in as a 50th birthday gift  :happydance:

Any chance of a photo or 2 of the seat covers, Gonz?

I've had to put the purchase of mine on hold for a bit longer....  :(

Thought the sheepskin seat covers are very nice to sit on,on the down side they raise you up at least 1 to 2 inches in you seat,I have drover sheepskins in Cyril and some time ago I took the drivers one out and put a real cheap cloth seat cover on it,as this let me back down into the cup of the seat,but am thinking of putting it back in PPL continually ask why I have to different type seat covers in the car.

Off-Topic:
I was a bit concerned about that, Rick....
I've pretty much decided I'll just go for some 20mm thick covers when I have the cash. I'm not really buying them for any added comfort so figure they should do.  :undecided:

When women say they like men with wavy hair .. I say mine in "waving"  goodbye  :snigger:

My first mother-in-law was an air-head .. She voted for Bob Hawke because she liked his hair   :rolleyes: :head_butt:

I didn't get shots yet but here's the website. The charcoal looks much darker in the car, more like the black on the site. And I do like the nice touches of giving you rear map pocket (given that you lose access to the original elastic mesh pocket) and the bonus front pocket. :happydance:

Thanks Gonz....

How well do they fit?  :undecided:
Do they fit between the seat adjustment levers and plastic trim and the actual seat?

Off-Topic:
If you are really keen, you can dismantle the seats to separate them from the plastic skirts and fit the seat for best effect but I didn't feel that much effort was warranted. The fabric is generous enough to give enough to do all adjusting - however seldom - through it, and the vital seatbelt fastener is clear.

There are adjustable straps lining up with your knees wrapping the sitting section and another set for the back section lining up with your shoulders. These meet female receptacles on straps emanating rearwards through the lumbar space between sections but the flexible rear flaps on the i30 seats don't make attaching the back straps realistic (nor do I think they're necessary).

Aside from those four pairs of male/female straps are one more pair wrapping from the side centres underneath. These I attached under the rails - I don't adjust seat position often enough for this to worry me and they slide cleanly under the rails anyway.

The one negative is the single velcro male/female strap pairs to close the opening under the separate headrest section and top of the cover under the headrest. Since they are sewn to the edges of the openings, you can't overlap the velcro to close them fully. I intend to add a few nore velcro bits (or perhaps hook-and-eye fasteners bra-style) and have them start from further in from the edges for a full closure.

Still, when the headrests are on, you don't see any opening, so they'll do for now. :D

Oh I'm 50 alright, although yesterday a 20 year old engineering student happened to say she thought I was 30. Don't mind stuff like that once in a while. :lol:

Well siad Gonz,plus I don't know how you do it,strange women scare me,funny thing is,some times Sue points out to me,that some ladies do flirt with me,personally I can't see it,thats how dumb I am,but Sue see's it.Sue lets it go so far because she things it's funny to watch me either dig the hole deeper or squirm in discomfort.

One day a younger girl(now to me she was just a kid asking a question)was asking about one of my tattoo's,a woman scantilly dressed,on my left arm,the conversation wnet on for about five minutes,Sue's watching all this with ahugh smirk on her face,when I went and sat back down with Sue,she said you do knwo that girl was hitting on you,it took me another half of the day to put two and two together.
