Re: Tesla Cyberpuke

I mean, $2700 wouldn't cover a fraction of his medical bill if it had bitten, so perhaps not the smartest move.

Re: Your fleet running reports

I can smell it in the cabin, and I've basically asked them to 'have a look' when it comes in for service, to see if they can pin it down a bit better.

Activated charcoal cabin filters will help, but they won't fix the actual problem ;)

Yeah, it's either that or the oil filter housing gasket, they seem to be evergreen pain points on BMW six pot lumps.

Re: Your fleet running reports

Local indy is going to send me a list of prices for engine/gearbox service, OE vs premium OEM parts etc. I mentioned in my email that I've got a probable rocker cover leak and I'm used to that from having an E46 6 pot and he quizzed me on that and offered to buy it off me :lol: fucking everyone want...

Ah, back when the co-op had the chromed seperators between the shop and the tills and as a youth, I could spin on them.

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

Far more interesting than some shitbox italian soft roader for people trying to impress their millionaire pals - I saw an S-suffix Cortina wagon in red last night, and it was fucking mint.

Much like this

"just drop a 400bhp VAG in there"
I mean, "VAG Turbo it" has been a thing pretty much since the engine came out. Remember David Browns VAG Turbo Exige?

Re: Pakora in Inglandcestirshire?

I regularly get paneer pakora as a starter. Deep fried battered cheese is always a winner.

I never did much currying when I was down south, so it's entirely possible that the southern jessies are doing it wrong, as is so regularly the case.

Re: Your fleet running reports

I've just done something that's fucking weird to me.

I've contacted a local BMW indy to service the car.

This whole 'being paid enough to live relatively comfortably' thing is weird.

I mean, did you also notice the one in the crash, er, crashed upon trying to brake and steer at the same time?

Re: Randomness

Yeah, a lot of replies from locals saying that the road was closed to motor vehicles four years ago, and everyone local knows it - it's specifically intended for walkers/cyclists. So you're like to see a wobbly kid on a bike who could veer all over the road, or a whole group of people round a blind ...

Re: Tony Martin Pt2

Given the lack of firearms charges noted against them, I seriously doubt it - firearms offences are an easy win for the CPS given how restrictive ownership/use is here.

This was rural Derbyshire, not a needle-strewn estate in east London.
