Re: The ebay thread

https://www.carandclassic.com/auctions/1991-bmw-e30-325ix-estate-gOpO5n I haven't noticed the "pre-bids" note previously - not sure what the benefit of submitting one would be for the buyer (?). What are pre-bids? A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the...

So you are actually banned? Temp or perm?

(I used the HSV section of PH when I had the VXR8, but never used much outside of there and haven’t been active on there for years).

Some decent machines in there :o
I nearly turned that off when they spoke about the 250 being put back into drums. I know fook hall about this specific model, but it smacks of reversing a genuine driving upgrade in the pursuit of originality for a garage queen. Meh. :evil:

Re: Which hoover?

Following the impressively middle-aged excitement expressed by a relative recently around the convenience offered by their new robot hoover, we picked up a TP-link (Tapo) RV30 Plus a week or so back. https://mybroadband.co.za/news/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/TP-Link-Headline-Image.jpeg We wanted one ...

I'm sure you don't all need a link, but even though I played most of it at 1.25x speed, and some at 1.5x speed - I still enjoyed the sleuthing. 8-)

Re: State of the Roads

Didn't Flewy tell a story about his dad carrying in his car a can of the paint they use to mark up these potholes, and making a point of marking up additional minor road apertures when he came across painted-up sections of road :?: Best tip I've seen is that once there are some potholes marked with...

Re: State of the Roads

Don’t know if it works in scotlandshire though. Good link Harry - I just checked and there are a few issues documented around my locale, and clicking on them reveals a comment that the correct council entity was noted 2mins later - so it does appear to work for us Jocklanders too. I've been using t...

Re: State of the Roads

I'm considering reporting all of the pot holes and damaged speed bumps on my normal daily routes as I'm just waiting to damage a wheel and/or tyre at some point and to have any hope of getting some money back from the council they need to have been told about them (I think). Although I still suspec...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

Given the massive rise in segregated cycle lanes that feature these kinds of priorities on side roads, there needs to be a lot more education for drivers about how to deal with these junctions and rights of ways, especially in cities. It's this for me. In both of those Greg_N twitter vids the junct...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

<not going down the inside of the truck vid> I’d say he’s right to hold back. It's a pretty tight space, and the truck will need to continue steering left just to stay in it's lane, so as there is potential for that space to become narrower when the truck moves - the caution feels quite fair.
