This view is from the hallway and there should be a wall and a doorway between the camera and the bathroom :o

To be fair, an open plan toilet is a step ...

i go to London every couple of weeks - i really don’t see these issues! i usually ride a lime bike from waterloo to farringdon and it’s a lovely place to be in my experience. i walked to St pancras the other day and again, it was a nice pleasant walk.

I enjoy a car meet and a chinwag with similarly minded others, but I'm not sure how quickly you'd run out of chat when everyone has the same vehicle? :lol:

To be fair, there’s always something to chat about with fellow Lotus owners - how did you fix that? What’s wrong with that? What can i do ...

yep, my car play worked, but no traffic updates on my drive home. it seems to be working now though.

that looks pretty disgusting, but it makes life pretty straightforward- you’re keeping nothing.

that means you can happily lift up that flooring that looks a bit damp or rip out an old cabinet to see what’s behind without having to worry about damaging anything.

Pay someone else to get rid of all ...

they’re the builders, they’re the experts. the more detail you include, the better, but do you know/care what brand of plaster or the spec of cabling? nope, you just want working sockets in the right locations on smooth walls and a certificate to say it’s been done correctly.

Yep, i’ve quoted plenty of £5m+ projects from CAD drawn layouts with hand marked up packages (referred to as “red pen packs” in my industry because they are/were often hand drawn). i did my own house that way too.

just print off x copies and do each trade package on a page. lighting, power ...

if you’re not changing the layout, what are you planning?

strip out
electrics
heating
plastering
kitchen
bathroom
decs
flooring

Just get a decent layout drawn up by a draughtsman (you can probably do it yourself with an app these days) then mark your what you want in each room. It’s not going to ...

Not too hard to argue with those choices - they’re cars that have done their bit and all now have competition in the collection - though i think the only real issue with that V12 jag is the colour. Maybe if it was more fitting colour it would have more appeal and wouldn’t be leaving.

G wagens line the streets of certain areas of london, so an EV one that isn’t chucking out the pollution of a big V8 locally seems like the perfect solution. Then putting some new swanky trinkets and badges to show everyone you have the latest thing and a massive price tag and you have the perfect ...

it’s bad isn’t it, that you almost in a way don’t want them to end the war in Gaza because Trump has been part of the solution…. i said almost!

id hope it was quicker than that with 200 horses?

looks great in “real life” photos. the engine bay is VERY pretty.

ScottA and I have discussed several times that one of these would make an interesting track toy.

You’re never going to be the fastest car on track, but 200bhp in a tweaked MX5 should be plenty quick enough to be entertaining, whilst being easy on all the consumables.

i presume the “box” behind the roll bars (they’re the seat backs looking again) is the fuel tank? that looks remarkably “whole” compared to everything around it!

Shame he’s painted it black - the colour scheme was the best thing about it!


I think that was just a prep coat - he’s keeping the original colour AFAIK

You can get decent looking late 80s/early 90’s 2 door ones for around 30-40k, the performance will be 0-60 in about 4-6 working days but if you want a retro looking g wagon why pay over £100,000 more just to pootle around London at 25mph


My friend paid a fraction of that for his - he sends me ...

im confused - what did they sell?

Got to be an intentional marketing thing, MOTs only take about 40 minutes!

i’ll often leave the corners free of butter to allow me to hold it without getting buttery fingers. i’m still up for 90-95% coverage though.


So many things wrong in this thread, bit I'll start here.

Surely you just hold it on crust edges? Or do you have Beadle hand and need to pincer it ...
