More likely to seel spares or repair f it it on the way out, someone will fancy it no doubt. Probably a days labour for a competent garage. The boys had the...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Drove my wife's Mini Cooper today for the first time in ages. Weird having to remember what a clutch is but the engine sounded absolutely awful, like a knocking lowdown in 5th at 55mph ish. I am sure it did not sound like that when we got it but not sure my wife would notice on her short commute as...

Life Insurance

Re: The Cats are good too thread
A friend of mine has 2 Maine coon mosters. They are massve fluffy things, apparently more like dogs in that they are happy lazing about. One of them decided to use me as it's bed for most of our visit. I don't like cats particularly but I quite like this one.

Value of vintage furniture
My Dad has taken our old kitchen table and chairs out of the attic and asked me to sell them, and very kindly has said I can keep the money. Having looked online, they seem to be anywhere from 110 for a table to 2000 for the table with 4 chairs. I have a table and 2 chairs. I had no idea they were e...

Re: Insurers (of all stripes)
Insurance companies are dicks. Last house insurance was only viewable through a portal to see the whole amount which annoyed me. It only went up a pound or two a month so I saved hassle and stayed put but when you get the coubling and tripling quotations Ieven if they then offer a price match I won'...

Re: Ultra Marathon - general running thread
Yes, my wife is on various running groups and it was the fact it was being caled an "ultra ultra" that caused people to raise an eyebrow.
