Re: In a galaxy, far, far away... (Wick, early 80s)

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 ...

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

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.

Re: Mesh wifi

Honestly, if you have the opportunity to do some DIY in it before 'proper' moving in, just do some cable runs. Not for individual computers etc, but for mesh units. You can then use them with any mesh setup - the backhaul will be over CAT5 so it'll be fast as fuck for the wifi endpoints, and they'll...

Re: Your fleet running reports

I'm in a discord that's driving game oriented, and nothing annoys them more than when they talk about how extreme manual shifting is and how it takes raw driving talent and you point out that yer grans Micra was a manual.
