I have a mileage discrepancy on the 330, thanks to an MOT tester typing 133,000 instead of 113,000 one year :roll:

Re: Dangerous beers...

…Yeastie Boys… <round of applause> 8-) That would obviously work for a craft bakery too. It had a run of being fairly widely available in supermarkets but that time has come to an end now seemingly. Brewed under licence by Brewdog as well, so a difficult one depending on where your moral bar sits. ...

Re: Dangerous beers...

I've just today received a case of 12 Brains SA. Reminded by a friend who had a pint of it the other day that I've not seen it in years - used to be the go to beer for this household when the 6 Nations was on. So I just had to order some. Might try the Gold next as ISTR that was a particular favouri...

Re: Why are road trips so alluring?

It's because it's "travelling" rather than simply getting from A-B, surely? And then there's the freedom aspect for me - I loathe airports and having to spend any amount of time in them is purely a means to an end, and it's time I'd rather spend doing almost anything else. Even sitting on ...

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

That MINI dash is hilariously bad :lol: I was joining the A34 Tues evening (at one of those roundabouts where you have to take your chance and go for it, hence couldn't get a pic) and I thought there was a kei-car type minivan behind me, all stickered up. Turns out it was actually a pick-up! Sounded...

Re: Parking space widths

E46's were rusty heaps, no? :D E9x just seem to keep on going unlike previous gens. And they're pretty tiny compared to a lot of modern stuff.

Re: Parking space widths

What about us wealthy folk who have cars nearly 2m wide? My M2 is as wide as a 4C. Yours just look wide because it's so short. Chode like. Chode :lol: The early 90s called! This was on BBC breakfast this morning. Was such a dull story with no conclusion. Most modern standards specify 2.5m x 5.0m th...

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

It's very similar indeed to Amsterdam, where you often also have a tram line down the middle. It just takes a moment's thought to realise cars and trucks are not special and have no priority over others. Maybe a larger number of cyclists means drivers don't get complacent. Yep. Very similar to many...

KCC, on the brink of bankruptcy, cutting services all the time. But they get shiny new vans for their useless surveyors who do fuck all judging the state of the roads :lol: https://i.ibb.co/L5ZBCqs/IMG-0184.jpg And yet the road it's snapped on looks perfect and even has road markings! :lol: Based o...

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

The LFB one I'm coming around to the cyclists POV on this. He's somewhat self-righteous about the situation, however, the LFB vehicle did cross a giveaway line into the path of a more vulnerable road user. I fully acknowledge that the LFB vehicle had trouble seeing the cyclist who was in the blind ...

Re: FTAO EV owners - possible action required before end of March-24

Just to get this straight for the rest of us fossil-burners - Can I re-tax my car right now at the current rate (£395 for Band K) and at least put off the 5% increase until next March?
