Re: Your fleet running reports
Will be interesting to see how the Gtecniq it performs with keeping the wheels clean, and how long it lasts. I also bought some of that Turtlewax on hybrid ceramic spray, but I thought for the wheels it's worth putting something more long term on them. Ceramic coating is a new fangled thing to ...
Re: Trump
Filled up the Skoda at the weekend. No SUL at my usual Tesco on the A34, and no diesel either!
Will take the 330 to work tomorrow and hopefully there's still be some UL left for me to brim that.

Re: No F1 thread?
I've not even been checking results. I caught 5mins today, from a distance (it was on at the other end of the room while I was cooking) and it looked utterly wank with the whole drop off on the straights.
I wouldn't blame Verstappen for nobbing off to do something more interesting.

Re: AC Schnitzer
Anyone modifying with the sort of stuff that ACS have made recently probably just buys cheap tat equivalents from Temu. The car scene has changed dramatically I think with the younger gen modifying with absolute tat, and the older crows going way more custom and buying older cars.

Re: Your fleet running reports
2nd incident in 2mo near the airport this week. This time some muppet pulled a manoeuvre in front of me that meant I had to take avoiding action. I misjudged it though and clipped the osr wheel on a traffic island.
So I'm currently having 2 new rears fitted. The tyre didn't blow but the rim put a ...

Re: Trump
I missed this yesterday. Sat with the wife watching the 10pm news I said "she's just checked her watch and looks desperate to get out of there. She looks well.pissed off as well."
Wife then tells me what he said and my jaw hit the floor. Even for Trump that's a pretty fucking retarded new low.

Re: The House Projects Thread
I do make a tip run once a month, usually with cardboard.
This was my initial solution too, but when I had nothing other than excess recycling it started to wind me up.
That's fair enough. It's not far for me and no pre-booking required (yet). It winds me up far less than the 4 bins do ...

Re: The House Projects Thread
Yeah, I think I'd be tempted to lose a few of those bins. Who tf needs two of each?
erm..... :oops: we have two plastic and two cardboard recycling bins. These only get collected every 4 weeks (plastic one week, carboard two weeks later etc etc), so one wasn't enough. I hate that they take ...

Re: The House Projects Thread
Due to the camera lens distortion I’m struggling to tell if the normal waste bin is one of those slimline ones. Anyway, we aren’t planning on increasing our waste output just because we’ve moved house (other than maybe garden waste) and we currently manage fine with one recycling and one normal ...
Re: EV Thread
As with the ix3, it seems that they're overstating the "new era of design" aspect of the Neue Klasse idea. It's just a new corporate BMW face grafted on to a body that otherwise looks like a pre-existing model, in this case the dumpy 2-series.

Re: Mini E
Mini E was technically an i3 wasn’t it? At least I remember all the technical stuff underneath the i3 having Mini logos on it. I think I’d just go for an i3 which is more spacious, better city car, rwd, better quality materials.
Also - I'm not sure about the reference to better quality ...
Re: Mini E
Fair enough, and that would make sense considering it was a pioneer of BMWs new eco cars at the time. I think they look fab on the outside.
Agree. BMW haven't topped it yet really have they? Personally I'd sooner have an i3 over a MINI. Every MINI I've ever been in or looked has felt cheap ...

Re: Insurance (general moaning thread)
i expect it’s like they say about informing your insurance company when you’re doing renovation works.
I was just chatting to a friend about that, becuase he was surprised to learn he wasn't insured for building works when he was having kithchen re-done (involving moving windows etc)

Re: The House Projects Thread
That’s fantastic news Gav!
Where are things at now in terms of them being out of the place? I thought I recalled seeing you manage to get in there and see the state of the place and get it cleared - is that not the case?

Re: Trump
But which came first? The River to the Sea dogma or the recent aggression in Gaza??
The British and the Yanks. Wooo! Go us!
Judea was there before Britain or America...
In relevant recent history they lived together. Most of the Middle East had no borders 'til we carved it up and ...
Re: Trump
Indeed...
Palestine - "From the River to the Sea, so shall it be". World - "Israel, go and negotiate with these guys"
Iran - "Death to America". World "America, go and negotiate with these guys"
Israels genocide campaign just entrenched the belief that there can’t be agreement.
