that's quite a change.

The Mother Of All Cons

Stumbled into this last week. It’s intentionally drawn out - they could definitely have told the story in less than three episodes, so it can be slow, but it’s a pretty jaw-dropping story.

Best explained in vid below. Jump straight to 2m30s if you have ants in your pants.

Interesting. Did not know.

I use KTC Extended Life Vegetable Oil 5 Litres. Two litres does a complete flush & refill of the pan.


I had to read this post very carefully, as I used to run my (remapped) Mk1 Leon TDi on 25% cooking oil back in the early noughties (obviously I'm joking HMRC), and I thought you'd adopted a ...

Oooh - I think I’ve found a new channel to follow. This is like Maureen on Driving School….

Mock test. Watch to end.

bought myself something I’ve been looking for for years. A Vest Pocket Kodak Model B.



I file vintage cameras in my “very cool, but I have zero use for” bucket.

I’ve had a fiddle with a 40’s/50’s (Polaroid) Land Camera and (since the general layout / bellows design looks similar) assumed this ...

It has a bit of a Weissman look. Which is a good thing.


Not exactly similar, but.....vibes.....

Mrs mik has driven the Evora twice in the 10 years I've owned it : 5 minutes when I first got it, with me showing her the controls, and about 12 miles a few years ago when there was no other option.

And that's the way, uh huh, uh huh, I like it.

That. Is a good price sir.

Insufficient experience to provide any guidance.

My tv came with a free LG S7Q soundbar from Richer Sounds. Used it for a month or so as it gave me 3 options:

- via TV speakers
- via soundbar
- via stereo

Realised that casual viewing was via TV speakers, and if I wanted decent sound then the ...

I thought the world had gone full stoopid when LandRover stealerships were over £100 an hour.

One hundred.

Jesus - so I got the quote for the 12 year service. It was as big as I expected for the things that I knew needed doing (£2,500) but there was an additional grand on top for servicing the centre lock wheels. £3,500 on a routine service is nuts.


:shock: This isn’t increasing my opinion on the ...

Before I bought my Escort RS turbo what I really wanted was a Strada Arbarth 130 TC


Rust on them was truly awful . I also lusted after the 130TC, but the silly gearing (5th was only 20mph/1000rpm) was a big put-off, as was the 23mpg they apparently achieved (partly via gearing, partly via ...

(Had he still been alive) Dermot Morgan would buy one.

Yeah I think it was a Mazda 626 where it first appeared so by no means new at all.

do you think you could get it confused if you drive at exactly 42 to 43 miles per hour and sawed at the wheel... :lol:

Edit - it was the Honda Pelude in 1987


My Superstrada had rear wheel steer, and it was ...
