Somehow a few weeks back Bust A Move by Young MC was on a loop while I was tidying up. This went on for about 30 minutes and now I listen to Young MC about half the time. Big chains and Reebok Pumps from now on, enter the tragic middle aged rap fan. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xy4FXhkm6Nw&pp=y...

Yeah, that OP really picked* a good subject to start a thread about…. . . . . *yes, i did shamelessly start this thread on the first day of the new forum, piggybacking off the success of someone else’s fleet running report thread in the previous forum, so i could have the most popular thread… 😂 Ric...

That’s really bloody annoying mate. Sounds properly two faced of them. Hope you can find somewhere just as nice, or maybe even better. We’d be practically neighbours, forum wise, if you moved there. Eerily close geographically! Maybe the landlord was a carnivore diet advocate and saw you trash talk...

Isn’t that what China did in the last few years ?

Dave!

I'll watch the video later but in towing tests and general performance people say the 2.8 is outperforming the 4.5TDV8 in the 79 series. There are loads of tuned ones all over Perth and they really love the V8 so having positive comments about the 2.8 is quite something. This new model does look rea...

I watched her on a podcast and she came across really well, just a teenager and oddly non slutty.

I’m going to leave here…

Also 100% agree.

Dave!

I have to say, there's some eye opening views being posted in this thread. Is it open season on employees of industries we don't like ? Killing this guy isn't going to change the Insurance Industry in the US one iota. It's not going to achieve anything or affect any change. It's just murderous reve...

I don’t see that it matters at all, it’s a nice song lots of people like to dance to.

Dave!

Isn’t that kind of their job ?

Dave!

i wouldn’t do well in a corporate environment interview. The last 2 people i’ve hired (one of which was 6 figure salary senior guy) have had their 2nd interview at the pub. It’s a fairly small industry, and i tend to get people who’ve done the role for a competitor and I get a good idea of what the...

Yeah a lot of people have auto sells at significant figures. So suddenly it tips over say 90k and the next day takes a dip as a few hundred thousand sold $10,000 while they were asleep. It’s a surprise how many people who have been doing it for quite a long time. 1 retirement on it and 1 does it as ...

XRP seem to have been comfortably winning the court cases and is looking very likely to be used as planned. Exciting times.

Dave!

When I was going round the local garages to ask for a cambelt change on my Mito, one told me to take it to Alfa, another didn't seem interested and the final one referred me to a cambelt specialist. I can't see anyone here wanting to do a wetbelt. I think too many places have been stung on stuff li...

It’s because the dumps are sealed on and they would have mangled the flange getting it off. I don’t think the dealership have much of a case there

I think the timing cover is the same.

Dave!

We can have a different opinion but I know my backstreet garage are happy to do them and they really aren’t hard to do.

I’d rather have a wet belt than an engine with a single row chain.

Dave!

Lots of engines have issues, so if an issue is replacing a wet belt which is serviceable anyway, I’d class that as not too bad a problem to know about. Two things here: The belt is failing prematurely, and shedding particles which block oilways even before it fails. It's not down to user error as y...

Stop going everywhere then


Granite at interview;

Interviewer: What type of engineer are you?
Granite: a LEGITIMATE one.

You can’t handle the truth!!!

Dave!

It’s a nicer world to live in when you’re oblivious to all the issues everyone else has

Everywhere is very tense at the minute.

Dave!

Mercedes had a huge issue with chain sprockets. Audi had issues with the chain tensioner on 3.0 tdis Jaguar have big issues with chains, pistons, injectors, everything 😂 Ford had the ecoboost overheating issue. The engine in the DS3 and I think the Mini kills the oil pressure regulator killing engin...
