Just do the ‘buy. A pair of trousers and turn up smart’ thing. It’s not for your benefit, it’s for theirs.

As much as i enjoy imagining you in a pair of budgie smugglers, this does actually sound like reasonable considered advice.

[strong troll] You could always ask a man to do it for you[/strongtroll]

JERK.

VTEC y0!!!

Tell him that he’s loved and that you all want to see him live a long and healthy life, making memories with the ones he loves.

Great advice.

Entirely the fault of the second rider.

Instead of stamping on the panic pedal and trying to slow down like a massive Jessie, he should have passed on the right where there was plenty of room and caned it off into the distance.

That’s one more than my car.

What are you, gay or something?

my 900cc Peugeot 107 will do this

Either you’ve swapped the engine (The 107 only came with two engines, a 1.0l 3cyl petrol and a 1.4 diesel), or both your dials are broken. 🙂

Cyclists in NL are safe because drivers are shit-scared of hitting them because they know that they will get punished regardless of whose fault it might have been.

I really don’t think that’s the case. It’s a different attitude, and one of respect rather than fear. I think it’s an important distinction to make as a shift in attitude is, IMO the best way to make our roads safer and you won’t achieve that with punitive legislation alone.

Dutch ones work, because every single roundabout are like it

Yes, unfortunately this will probably be a pointless waste of money.

So, torque sells road cars because in reality what you want is a nice feeling at 2500rpm on a motorway sliproad.

Boo!

Drop it to 2nd, nail it to 8,500rpm then slot it into 5th at 70mph. 🙂

I appreciate that a lot of people simply aren’t used to driving cars with nice gearboxes that you can reliably and confidently do that it in.

Do I get a refund if it doesn’t work out?

Is it RWD for winter shenanigans?

My mate used to turn the ignition off in his Skoda Estelle then turn it back on again under throttle to get a ridiculous backfire.

We were children though.

Flat shifting in my old Honda at 8,600rpm would produce some hefty flames out of the exhaust, but no backfire bangs.

KeyKeg is used to deliver real beer but is CO2 driven. May affect some smaller breweries.

– don’t poo for a week before getting on the train, then empty everything you’ve got into the loo. Wipe with 2 or 3 rolls of paper then leave without flushing.

Why would I want to spend money on bum wipe when I can use British Rail’s for free? And you never flush, people who use train toilets don’t wash their hands so touch as little as possible.

Ain’t no bluegrass without the Blue Grass Boys:

Check out Bill Monroe absolutely bossing the three second intro then just naffing off stage.

Too poor for a hotel but not man enough to go camping?

Welcome to the caravan club! 😀

If your tent isn’t big enough to house a BBQ, get a bigger tent. 🙂

I think it was at the Malvern Classics when it pissed it down on the last day and we were sat around the BBQ on deck chairs enjoying a fantastic lunch whilst countless others were getting soaked trying to light stuff in the awnings of their little tents. Ended up sharing my hot coals out to lots of peeps so they could get their bacon on.

I think I also remember having to borrow a larger car to fit the tent in…

End of thread

End of thread? I’d end my own life if that was all I had to listen to.

Can’t stand the dull wailing musically boring end of the spectrum that most people have mentioned, but I do like a bit of skilfully played bluegrass, and love a bit of Jerry Reed.

😀

Oh the ironing.

X3

We get it, you’re trans-curious. You don’t need to shout it from the rooftops.

isn’t that what all the “real men” use?

You spelled “perverts and deviants” wrong.

If that’s not an imprisonable offence, I don’t know what is.

Sexually abusing children?

Double edged razor.

Would I never go back to the 34c

Your breast size will change with weight gain/loss. It’s perfectly natural for any woman.

Viewings are by appointment only – okay, there’s an excellent used Porsche dealer that works like that, but for the most part it’s someone doing a bit of trading on the side of another job.

He doesn’t have proper premises so needs time to move his stock about for viewing.

I stick my debit card into the ATM and withdraw money.

Am I missing something? Has something changed? I’ve done this inside and out of Europe.

If you replace it with an OEM one, it would be ridiculously expensive and last for the rest of the life of the car. An aftermarket one will only last around 2 years.

An aftermarket stainless steel one would last the life of the car.

I had a custom S/S exhaust for my old Honda built for £300. That’s from the Cat back with two silencers and a decat pipe, no catalytic convertor. Guarantee for the life of the car. MIJ exhausts in Walsall, IIRC.

I fail to see how they didn’t see the horses very clearly during the whole corner (it wasn’t tight enough to be in a blind spot like their A pillars) and use an evasive manoeuvrer, i.e. go straight and mount the pavement and grass once they clearly lost control.

Bingo.

It’s frightening that they took the horses over mounting the verge as the best course of action.

The standard of driving was shit enough that a licence should have been lost.

Some may disagree.

Not me.

If the cap (shim) fits, wear it.

the driver didn’t appear to be going particularly fast

Really?

Appeared to be driving far too fast in my humble opinion.

I thought this was going to be about alternative power sources for the forum…

Just to reiterate, the brake lines might well need doing, but best to check as per fossy’s advice.

My last car had the same advisory for corroded brake lines for five years. They were fine. Exhausts will rust and are inexpensive to replace. If the driveshaft isn’t too spendy my main concern would be the water in the boot causing misting problems. Get your drill out. 🙂

How dare you! This is STW where you must have handmade, artisan breakfast materials or something slightly more obscure than the previous poster

How many points do I score for a live in chef?

Thanks for the input all. Especially those who assume I’m driving at excessive speeds and taking risks like Jackie Chan in the eighties. If it wasn’t for you no thread would ever make it past three posts

What is the distance between the posts?

Plenty of Macka B this morning.

Yes Iyah!

Trying to remember who gave me the advice that “cars come in integer values, if the gap is 1.9999 cars wide, you’ll still only fit one car through it”.

However most people do treat it as a right rather than a privilege.

That’s because it is.

A privilege is a special right or advantage held by an individual or minority group, typically due to wealth or social standing. Anyone can drive as long as they show basic competency.

It’s yet another argument about semantics, but I dislike far too oft repeated lazy soundbites. 🙂
