Re: Your fleet running reports
Picked up a set of rear disc's and pads for the TVR from GSF today. That and a couple of cans of brake cleaner was a whole £61, branded Delphi stuff too. Would have been about £180 from a TVR parts supplier, but as they are just xr4×4 stuff there's a lot to be saved. Now just need to shake this cold...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement
First one of those, the taxi is legally stopped but with reversing lights on, and then opens his door into the cyclist's path. So the cyclist has reason to feel aggrieved. But nobody hurt anyone and the 'Dutch reach' nonsense is fucking idiotic; cyclists are told to cycle further from stopped traff...

Re: The House Projects Thread
FInally got the last part of the ours completed last week, our ensuite. All looks nice and the wife is very happy with it all. I have a few jobs to do to tidy some loose ends up. Now onto the garden and the 15k quote to get the new patios, paths, fencing, gates and lawn that we need to fix everythin...

Re: Test drive report
Magma or DCR? I can understand this, if you have something in the garage for weekend it's needs to feel special, involving and different. The Emira looks really good and reminds me of the 458, which of the modern Ferarris is my favourite. Not a massive 911 fan, I get they drive well but just not for...

Re: Bye Bye Sunak..
As it typical of this government (or any government really) this is a ham fisted introduction to the policy change. However, in the background, I do think there are certain aspects of modern life which need to be "nipped in the bud" somewhat before Pandora's box is opened and can't be shu...
Re: New Car
How does it compare insurance wise? The younger boy has his theory in about 3 weeks at that point I am on the hook for a car. I said not until you've passed theory as I don't want another car on the drive (we are already up to 4 and a dirty great caravan) and one that could sit around unused.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Yeah, I'm sure I can have a word with Mrs Mike to get her to up her game to reach that 100% mark. Data is anonymised which is good and from what I've read isn't sold or shared outwith BMW, but I'd be amazed if there's any way to opt out of this stuff these days given the software in cars and integr...

Re: Your fleet running reports
1 minor advisory, needs new rear disc's and pads as they are corroded. Now need to find out what they were upgraded to so I can source them. Cosworth parts so at least I can get them.

Re: Your fleet running reports
Not sure if it specifically helps with the TVR, but the place in Vulcan Way in Sandhurst gave my Smart a clean pass which was...... surprising. In a nice way. That place might prove useful, I've had good reports for it before too and the MOT centre in Yateley too. I still have 2 regular cars to MOT...

Re: Your fleet running reports
TVR MOT this evening. My usual guy has packed in automotive mechanics, sold his workshop and share in MOT centre to work on marine :o . Finding someone to MOT the TVR has been interesting, it should all be OK but I wanted someone who knew the foibles of a 90's handbuilt classic with mods (needing a ...

Re: Dangerous beers...
Pelforth was the beer on tap on site at our usual place in France I remember it was pretty pleasant. Going back this year for the first time since 2019 so will reacquaint myself with it then. Keep a couple of doombars around at most times but I go through phases, ciders (inches and bulmers red berry...

Re: Why are road trips so alluring?
Having watched Harry's recent trip to Spain I can see why you might do it but I personally want to do tours around Germany/Austria/Italy and Spain Portugal and I will take ferries for both (Dunkirk and Bilbao respectively), drive and take my time to enjoy it as that's part of the experience for me. ...

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers
Yes LS is on the list but all hybrids command quite a premium so they come across as very overpriced for a car which will also depreciate to shed money eventually and have much more to go wrong. Go wrong? It's a Lexus, FiL put about 500k on a LS400 and 430 and the only failure over 20 years was the...

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers
Surely a Lexus LS or GS should figure as a mile muncher, no oil burners but they do some Hybrids that makes them more attractive don't they?

Re: Mountain Biking general thread
As it is now lighter in the evenings I've started riding to work a couple of days a week again. I've hardly used a bike over winter so fitness is down and waistline is up :( I'm hoping to rectify both but advancing years certainly slow gains down. The worst thing after a layoff for me is always the...

Re: Desktop multimedia speakers
Would the KRK Rokit suit? They are possibly a little too big but they are loved by DJ's as a decent entry level monitor, there is also a matching sub if you want to extend them a little. I use some old Mordaunt-Short MS10 book shelfs, run off a Teac AV-H500 amp (I needed more inputs and wanted a ded...
