[#10920372]

Thanks to this here forum I’ve learned a good few things.

This week has been the cause of why my car misted up like a Turkish bath after driving through a puddle that turned into a much deeper puddle than expected. The air intake for the cabin filter is fairly low down on a VW Passat B6 so the rancid puddle water flooded the pollen filter and soaked the passenger footwell. I’ve removed the absolute minging filter and the footwell is now home to a bag of silicone cat litter. I’m going to have to get the carpet cleaned because it stinks like a stagnant cesspool.

Anyone with any gems picked up on here?

I've learned how to corner on my bike, that one finger braking is worth the effort and that I'm wrong more often than I would like to be

Great place 🙂

People with very narrow and ignorant minds are a clique all to themselves. They will defend the most narrow minded and ignorant of their ilk to the last.

Joke's on you, that head tube was not symmetrical!
