Re: The ebay thread
Are the M5s that bad? My M3 was reliable and no problem for daily use - and it's effectively mechanically 80% of the M5. Yeah but age will be playing a part now. It's a 20yo car no? Lots of brittle plastic and rubbers (I've not watched the vid so no idea what work's been done!). People always seeme...

Re: Test drive report
Yep, Emira is a very correct decision for me. Something like an mx5 seems like a missed opportunity to me.

Re: The ebay thread
I love it when they say in ads for cars like that “Lady owner”. Like it’s only be used to ferry some dotty old retiree to the WI and her meals on wheels round. :lol: The previous lady owner is a petrolhead - people who buy 8 year old M5’s and then drive them for another 8 years are petrol heads. He...

Re: Car Hire Lottery
The overriding thing i'll take away from the experience however is the nannying. That’s pretty much anything modern really. My focus is a 2020 car and has such niceties as an over enthusiastic collision warning system- big red display that beeps and eventually brakes for you. Shits itself if you’re...

Re: Amazon and Proximity
The cheekiest example of geo targeted advertising is you have location always on for an app like uber. They track your location 24/7 and sell your data to retailers, they check that location data to see if you spent any time in a store and if you have they’ll start targeting you for marketing. Ther...

Re: Amazon and Proximity
They're definitely listening, but presumably this was a fluke? I remember talking to my missus about selling our old prams, push chairs and stuff ages ago - we decided it would end up being hassle because they needed properly cleaning and stuff., I then looked at my phone for something else and had ...

I drive past a transit with "black edition" on the side today. Made me smile!

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers
The colour is ok, though it does make the random XJ black c pillars stand out even more.

Re: Motorway Mile Munchers
I had a project in Middlesborough. The cheapest and quickest route used to be flying from Heathrow to Teeside (there used to be a flight out in the morning, then one back in the afternoon). Annoyingly they cancelled the service shortly after we started on site. It's a FUCKING long drive as we found ...

Re: The Movie Thread
I haven't seen the original for a long time, but i remember it being a lot more centred around actual fist fights in a RoadHouse (as in a rough bar by the side of a highway) rather than crashing speedboats into a straw roof beach bar?

that was 320 bucks well spent - the ones with chrome look so much older imo.Sundayjumper wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 9:15 amJobbo wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 8:36 amProbably a very expensive optionSundayjumper wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2024 11:15 pm Nah, mine has the black trim, it’s either anodised or coated, not sure, but it’s certainly not an “edition”.

Re: Parking space widths
No one cares about width including mirrors! A Citroen C4 (first random shitbox I clicked on) is 2050mm with mirrors!

Re: And then there was none..
Colleague/mate hired a T350 for his 25th. It was very good value, but the mandatory insurance excess of £3.5k (circa 20yrs ago) proved a great deterrent to push it too hard. blimey, I was about to post the same thing. My best mate hired a T350 for his 27th and came round to mine (and informed me I ...

Re: The Movie Thread
I can handle anything except for storylines that don't make sense. I get that good actors, good production and special effects all cost money, but storylines don't cost anything to get right! Theres just no way excuse!
