OV9

Jobbo will drag the average down quite considerably

If you do buy a Viano/Vito just remember that they are hopeless in the snow, easily the worst thing I have driven in snowy conditions. I did think about fitting snow tyres but I'm not sure how much difference they'd make to a pretty much empty RWD van. The V250 we hired for our trip to Andorra prov...

The freshly rebuilt Transit passed yesterday with no advisories, which was nice.

I've been running an Epson ET-2650 for about 3 years now with zero problems. It's the one with refillable ink tanks and I use non OEM ink to top up. It seems to last for ages on a refill too and I've only had to run a deep clean cycle once as the magenta was patchy, and that was due to inactivity ov...

I have to get fit again. I was half way there before lockdown, but since then I've not set foot back in the gym. I've noticed a huge deterioration in my strength too, and my back has started to play up again. I'm 45 this year, so reckon this is my final 5 year slot to get fit for 50, otherwise I'm s...

It must be quite galling to spend your life developing a robot so sophisticated it can dance and balance on one leg, only for someone on the Internet to call it fake as the assumed floor substance didn't deform as they expected :lol: Next you'll be saying the incredibly complex and dangerous moon mi...

You lot must live in some shitty areas, I see nothing but compliance wherever I go from businesses and individuals. How about all those people being turned away from the Brecon Beacons today. Loads from tier 4 areas. Unbelievable. Well I wasn't there, maybe you were, but (not having a go at you her...

Not really. Without the lockdowns and tiers etc there would be have been more hospital admissions and more dead. Plus there have been two vaccines developed in that time. What would have been a perfect outcome of the last year for you? Well, obviously I'm aware of the time used to develop a vaccine...

That is fab to see Dave. Thanks for sharing that with us!

It now feels like the whole of this last year has been for nothing and we're starting over. Shitshow.

Feeling pretty smug after finding the boxed dimensions and working out it would fit diagonally, the girl and I set off. Unfortunately it wouldn't come close to fitting in the back of the Navara.

Talk me through how a T.V. wouldn't fit in the bed of a pick up truck?

Parcel force seem to be a total shower of shite lately. Yes, even worse than Yodel. It seems to be this country though, as I ordered 2 lots of beer from Belgium recently, both on a Thursday evening and they turned up on Sunday with DPD. Everything I order takes at least 2 days now, and I order a lot...

The fact your wife is 100% set on the idea means you can only dissapoint her by saying no. You say you're content, but are worried about your Son being alone suggests you're not. I think you'll be having another child soon. Oh, and when you do, they'll hate each other and you'll wonder why you bothe...

Both my kids are off school. One because 2 year 10 kids have tested positive, and the youngest because they're only watching movies and playing games, so I pulled him out as a precaution. He can watch movies at home far safer. He's not, he's on Tasomi most of the day. I didn't even tell him school h...

I guess I don't drive hard enough to induce understeer on the road any more. Certainly wouldn't be comfortable going any quicker.

I don't bother with winters any more. I run All season (Michelin Cross Climate +) on everything now. They work brilliantly, and on an average hot-ish hatch like the Auris (hidden gem edition) I don't miss the 5% extra performance from a summer tyre during the month of hot weather we have, nor the 10...

Ah, shit Dave, I've only just caught up with this thread so didn't realise Flash was in a bad way. If it's any consolation at all (it won't be), I do alright with a missing leg ;) It doesn't matter if you have a dog 6 weeks or 16 years, the second they're in your home, the anguish you feel when they...

But equally there are definitely wrong ways of doing it.

Well, quite, but a man of Duncs calibre isn't going to feed his kid smack and farm it out to peodophiles is he?

Congrats Duncs. There's no right way of parenting , so just enjoy it!
