Re: what car thread - Lotus Edition

BGR is the only allowed green. This has to go into the pantheon of massive incorrectness I'm afraid. Oak and Viper on 911s, Boston on e36s, Verde Scuro or Verde Miura on Lamborghini Miuras, Verde Francesca or Pino Verde on Ferraris - the list goes on and on! If you are talking solely about Elises t...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Steve the CRV has a slipping clutch, so going into the garage next week. Borrowing my Dads Jazz and this morning the battery stopped holding charge, called breakdown and got a replacement battery, exactly same price as Eurocarparts, so saved a lot of hassle, but still took 4 hours of my day away in ...

Re: Bean Test

I like Beans on Cheese on Toast, a bit of black pepper. Ratio of 1 tin to 2 slices of toast (medium toasted, lightly toasted is too floppy when soaks up the bean juice and well done, sauce does not soak in well enough). I prefer seeded wholemeal, but 50/50 or white is okay. Sourdough does not soak u...

Re: Damage from Neighbours Vegetation

I once used chemicals to kill off overgrowth on my property, it turned out that the plants were growing from the adjoining property, but it was not possible to know this at the time and they inadvertently died.

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

How do cars park without crossing the cycle lane in that clip ?
Not a London road expert, but I do know red route bylaws allow crossing of cycle lanes on certain situations.

What do you all use for boring cars?

Fronts it came with aren’t anything special, some triangles or some o...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Gave Steve the CRV a wash, gave a quick once over with diluted gloss to aid drying. Continues to be boringly reliable. https://i.ibb.co/PjKZmXw/IMG-20240920-145649.jpg That looks sparkling - your quick once over is way better than my full wash! It had a recent polish and sealant (carplan, nothing f...

Its traditionally a place for bikers to meet, but they have monthly car meets in the field and was a Jap car meet on. Managed to get a cracking photo... https://i.ibb.c...
