Re: Would you buy a Mat Armstrong car?

I've only recently started to watch a few of his videos and I usually skip through them in chunks. They do sometime leave minor damage unrepaired if it's hidden which is slightly concerning.

Re: Your fleet running reports

The motorhome passed the MOT this week. It's always a slightly anxious time as the handbrake on the Fiat Ducato/Peugeot Boxer etc is totally useless and struggles to reach the 16% needed on the brake rollers. Luckily the garage I use service lots of vans so is well aware of this "quirk"

I made the mistake of not clearing the snow off the cars yesterday and after a slight thaw the melting snow has now frozen solid overnight :roll:

Re: Today’s want

I admire classic American stuff but I'd feel a bit of a berk driving one in the UK, they mostly seem to be driven by a certain sort too, sorry :oops:

Re: The Weather Thread.

We've used winter tyres in the past but as already mentioned storage can be an issue. Since switching to all seasons I've never had a problem and now don't have the ball ache of swapping a set of wheels over. It's very hilly in the Sheffield area and half an inch of snow can bring the complete area ...

The sales are in full swing so if you couldn’t quite stretch to £86k for the Hublot Square Bang Unico Sapphire then today is your lucky day as it’s reduced to only £64.5k at Goldsmiths

Re: Your fleet running reports

I started the Beetle yesterday for the first time since the end of summer.

Originally it was 6v but as is often the case it has been coverted to 12v but the starter motor is still the original 6v one. This results in it being a very enthusiastic high speed starter motor and even when untouched for ...

Re: Mountain Biking general thread

Lime bikes are coming to Sheffield soon.

The last hire bike operator pulled out after a few months due to the high theft and vandalism rates. A good proportion of the bikes seemed to end up in the River Don.
