He ordered from Costco as they have £100 off Michelin.



Don't Costco still refuse to fit anything other than RFTs? I've never used them because when I last went they were still trotting that line out, despite the fact my car's not been on RFTs since 2013 :lol:


I’m not sure, haven’t used ...

Sums it up nicely.

You can extend that to the civil service as well then, given that RR and other politicians are simply mouthpieces.

Went to the detailer to get teh PPF re-applied on tuesday. He found multiple paintwork defects which after claying and machine polishing are actually under the laquer. :evil:

Bodyshop have picked it up from the detailers today to fix. Unsure if i mentioned but when they had it the ...

I’d rather they didn’t pledge in a manifesto whilst trying to be elected to carry out a policy that either had zero research beforehand or was known to be incompatible and was still spouted.. either option isn’t exactly who I want running the UK Government


You'd best not vote for anyone ...

GY F1 Asymm 6?
Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 X
Vredestein Uktrac Pro
Conti 4x4 Sport Contact

There are more as well

What size?

That didn't take long:

Yeahhh. We all know what's really going to happen to that extra cash though don't we?

The motability changes seem like a bit of a fuck you to people who can’t really afford it too.


I just don't get these changes at all. My understanding is that the cost to the taxpayer is no different depending on the cost of the car? So this becomes purely about the optics of someone ...

It would’ve been nice to see a raise in the personal allowance tbh.


Fiscal drag seems to be the policy now - Dan Neidle calculates that it's the biggest overall tax raiser from a single policy since WWII.


If they are able to get value out of it, and it makes a difference to the country ...

Taxing pensions


People who are sacrificing some of their available spending now so that in future, they'll be less of a burden on the state... Yeah, let's tax those fuckers!! :roll:


They managed to make this sound way worse than it actually is. Labour PR/spin strikes again! They'll be ...

Something like "If you're going to front a Charity Campaign, you must donate 40% of your annual earnings to said Charity"

Lets see how many movie stars we see then... :lol:


It'd be just like the body positivity campaigners up to the point of fat jabs being made easily available. They'd vanish ...

I'm tempted to stick with a manual one in that case. I tend to prefer doing both cars at the same time. The IK Pro2 (the AG one without the branding) looks to have triple the capacity of the Nilfisk bottle at 1.5l vs 0.5l.

My name is mik, and I have never snow-foamed a car.


My situation has now...... changed. :geek:

My Nilfisk (140-6) jet washer came with a snow foam doo-dah, but by all accounts it's pretty crap, so I ordered their "Super Foam Sprayer" which by all accounts is pretty good.

I’m also a big fan of paper sizes…

A0 is 1 m2, then each size is halved with the width becoming the length of the next size down. Someone thought that one through!


I love that tyre sizes are a mix of units. I bet that really annoys someone somewhere though :lol:
oooh, yeah - that one’s ...

Yeah this hit hard today. He always came across as such a top and genuine bloke. And part of the greatest band ever to come out of Manchester.

Such a tragedy after the loss of his wife 2yrs ago, and awful for the 2 boys.
