Re: The Watches Thread

The size isn't the problem as far as I can tell - Imgur has a limit of 10,000 pixels along either side. But there is a cap of 20MB.

Re: Coronavirus

Funny, if that was an important or new story you'd expect it to appear in other newspapers not just the Telegraph. Yet it's actually reporting the same thing as this article from the BMJ in February which does not give the impression that AZ are likely to be found at fault: https://www.bmj.com/conte...

Re: Harry’s Garage

Black paint and silver wheels does wonders for the looks. I am sure it's interesting to drive, but I really can't see that it'd be much fun to live with in that state of tune. A standard M2 in black with silver alloys would be plenty.

Re: Today’s want

Have you got an insurance quote? I think with the V8 diesel I’d be willing to run the reliability gauntlet.

I thought that was probably the case. Fine for a hire vehicle though.

I find Imgur the easiest app to use - no need to resize. Just set your photos to hidden.

Re: Ford Transit review

Oh, and it didn't have electric mirrors so I had to slide across three or four times to adust the passenger side mirror manually. But the lower blind-spot mirrors are massively better than the Citroen's pathetic versions, and the mirrors overall are way better located so passengers don't block your ...

Ford Transit review

I had to help move my dad down to Hampshire on Friday. After having a Citroen Relay a couple of months ago - https://forums.ov9.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=202607 - I thought I'd try to find a place which would hire me a Transit to compare.

Re: Woman

Did you meet your current partner through dating apps? Yes, on Tinder. I think it’s quite an honest app, or at least it was in 2017 - you both like each other’s photo and short bio enough to allow you to message each other. Basically like real life except widening your social circle. I suspect 7 ye...

Re: Car for a new driver

Is there any difference at all between Aygo, C1 and 107? All the same car built in the same factory. Something like a Fiat Panda must be worth considering.

Re: Woman

Anyway, to contradict everyone else I'd say this is a great opportunity to stay the fcuk away from wasting hours on dating apps and instead to selfishly focus on making your own life as fun, adventurous and brilliant as possible. Dating apps are purgatory and an easy way to waste loads of time and ...

Re: HMRC Automated Phone System

Twice a year HMRC decide to change my tax code for no obvious reason. Pretty consistently. I get my accountant to do my tax return and they can’t see a reason. I don’t bother calling them to sort it out because it will either be fixed when my tax return is submitted or when they send the next random...

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

I listened to The Wild Ones podcast (which is about cycling) yesterday and they were talking to Cycling Mikey. Mikey seems a really nice guy in reality, despite the image he has gained from his Twitter videos.

Re: Woman

Sorry to hear it Ian ☹️
No matter how much it feels crap, I’m sure it will ultimately be better than you getting married and her doing the same some years down the line. That’s no consolation I know.

Get swiping on Tinder - onwards and upwards. Or maybe apply to Love Island/Married At First Sight.

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

So many cycle lanes round the UK have been marked like that for decades - even in very cycle-friendly cities like Oxford - that you’d hope motorists understand them by now. I’m usually more pro-bike in this thread but if they were altered to give cyclists a wider lane and motorised vehicles a narrow...

I haven't had any C6 generation A6s because I don't like them but I've had C5 S6 saloon, a couple of C7 Allroads and a C8 S6 so I'm obviously a bit of a fan. Never noticed the structural rigidity of the C5 bein...

That Land Rover would have been a bit close to the parked cars if there wasn't a cyclist in the gap - look at where his left hand tyres are relative to the centre line as he is alongside the Qashqai.
