Gitta v Rozalla – Everybodys Turning Back

Endura fs260 pro Bibshorts here, love them

He doesn’t live in central liverpool or work in central manchester, has to be at his desk for 8am, occasionally needs to travel with work to site, even without travelling to site a city centre to city centre share wouldn’t really work with commuting costs & time at each end.

I have a 15″ Mac Book Pro, I use it for both work & personal.

I find I don’t need such a large screen & the weight is annoying when on the move, Think id have a 13″ Macbook air if I bought again!

Im going to use my best friends situation as a real world example & would love to hear the thoughts of all those saying raise petrol prices & live closer to work…

4-5 years ago he bought his first home with his partner, a real fixer upper, put his heart & soul into it doing as much as he could, did a brilliant job, it stretched him some what, but was all affordable.

3.5 Years ago, find out first baby on the way, happy families

3 Years ago get made redundant from Job in Liverpool, (approx 8 miles from home)

Spends approx 6 months unemployed, looking for a another Job/career, Baby arrives & things start to become tighter.

2.5 Years ago he finally gets back onto the ladder, all be it on a lower wage, problem is the job is in Manchester, 100 Mile a day commute, has a 50+mpg car, drives sensibly to save cash etc…

Since then his partner has gone back to work part time at her Job in Southport, Both Parents who look after kid are close to home making work possible.

Before anyone states the obvious, of course he has looked for work closer to home…

So please explain to me what he should be doing in your eyes? & explain to me how putting people who are already under financial pressure under even more is fair / right? this is a common situation up & down the country, if you think it isn’t, your out of touch, if you think tough, we’ll id rather not hear your thought’s.

see? you can commute to work three or four cities away. Now that’s a lifestyle choice.

How can you possibly know what choices are available? just making presumptions.

Does anybody have a breakdown of public spending going into public transport, and how much of that spending is subsidising private operators trying to turn a profit?

£6Billion a year on Trains subsidy apparently.

As long as there are more car drivers than pedestrians, cyclists and bus passengers combined on the roads, motoring is far too cheap.

Or public transport to expensive?

edukator for ignoramus of the day! no acknowledgement for the knock on effects it would have on society & the millions already struggling to get by.

Have a look at the Seat Ibiza FR 1.2TSI

Fuel should be £12 a gallon, then maybe people would think more seriously about finding better ways of getting around (by bike perhaps!!).

what a stupid dream world you must live in…

Go with above advice, start in ship & mitre & work your way towards the Slaughter house during the evening! nice selection of boozers in that area…

As for later in night, Id jump a taxi over towards Hardman Street / Philamonic Area, lots of decent boozers, many mentioned about, then if your feeling rowdy you can head down towards St Peters Square area…

^^ IGNORE HIM ^^

age of group? type of places you usually like? full on day & night out?

Surrey for ya

I’ve always wanted to take the plunge with one of these as they’re a lot of car for the money. It’s always the fuel consumption and running costs that put me off. I’ve also been looking at the M5 touring which can be had for around £20k now. I have the ability to buy one and wish I could lose my sensible head and just have a really fun car for a year or two but I always end up just keeping my 7 year old Mondeo instead and money in the bank for the mortgage. I’m so boring….

Get a more sensible happy median, S4 Saloon/Avant, 335i/d Saloon/touring, 535d Saloon / Touring etc!

if you google my phone number you get my name, but thats because its a work phone I can use for personal.

EDIT: it would appear this is no longer the case or I’m doing it wrong, either way i prefer it like that.

haha funny, he must be drunk

sorry was half asleep, I meant they offered less for Suarez the mad heads

Great wins for Arsenal & Liverpool today!

All these Ozil rumours say £42.5m on Twitter, less than Suarez offer? Strange! Arsenal need better defence players as well I reckon.

Looks great, jealous!!!

Have a Vauxhall, consider a Volvo, but wouldn’t have a soda ?

What are these bikes weighing out of interest?

I ride on one of those lines regularly, the one from aintree to southport!

maybe thats why they are £790K

28.5 my guess

not sold on aesthetics of new lever :-(

depends who is buying, discount for big orders init

agree with rickt, otherwise all good despite your colour co-ordination issues ;-)

where are the trails?

EDIT seen answer

sorry mine was supplied & fitted for those prices, all from the same indi in Wigan.

The shop you would hope

you will need electrics, but it doesnt change much.

I have a Thule Euro master or similar, great rack but not cheap? £250-£300 approx? also heavy & bulky to store!

Removable tow bar has been great, no complaints, again expensive, £300 fitted for a westfalia one.

atleast follow him

full house of weirdness

the one behind will be trying more than the on in front

Id guess some kind of dry / wax type lube

paintjob lets it down

That said, being a 3 series owner, id say at that price point & doing 26k a year, sensible money on a mondeo or similar, not an over priced second hand BMW, Golf, Octavia VRS etc…

Might have to sacrifice ‘fun’ though!
