No, I once went to a Warhammer shop when I was young with some Space Crusader models I’d painted. Even though I went there on rollerblades and was wearing knee pads I was the coolest person in the store. I learned quickly that they should be avoided.

I’m not convinced about the whole “cars built before 1978 don’t need an MOT” thing.

I forgot about that.

They should definitely have an annual MOT but I thought that came into affect a while back ?

Dave!

Playing with Lego and model trains keeps me young, it’s like the elixir of youth.

All good things imo.

I feel that we are less social, more judgemental and moody than 10 years ago. I want to be a policeman so I can tell idiots how they are doing it wrong. A lot of youths are wannabe gangsters with a fluffy lady beard. I’m an old fart who doesn’t understand the absolute need for instant gratification....

Sounds utterly hateful. All of that involvement! How outdated.

Well I do find it a struggle to sync my spoticontactaddresstwitter but you know what, the world keeps on turning.

If I didn’t have to drive the Defender or TT I’d chop my left leg off to save weight and use a Segway. I drive my Defender more than any other car. Mainly as you are always doing something by changing gear and having to plan ahead. I love my 500e and ML but that’s for big journeys or with the family...

people want to do more than drive. Which is why everyone is an app or phone connectivity away from a distraction and accident. Seemingly people can’t pull away from a petrol station without popping a phone in a cradle, pressing a multitude of buttons and then staring at it while pulling away. They t...

We are semi detached to a rental property so have had 4 people live there since we moved in 8 years ago. Lovely lady with 2 kids. Quiet but would chat when you met her. She left to buy a house but was the best neighbour. Members of a Lithuanian Rock band. He was a hen pecked guy who was permanently ...

Well that was disappointing. The blacksmith scene was ridiculous. Re-start a sun by pulling these levers, that’s handy. The giant would have given some more convincing acting if he had said Fee Fi Fo Fum and casting the mega weapon in all of 2 minutes seemed such poor story telling. Thanos was a gre...

So I want to do a repair on a hydraulic line in the 500e, so that I can use it as the family bus while I fix the tailgate fault on the ML. This is after some recent Flewy work on the Defender. So the sun is shining and because it’s the best on fuel I take the TT to my parents garage where I keep the...

New M5 is 1.2s quicker to 100mph than a stock RS6 Rich. Autocar tested it in damp conditions and compared it to dry Audi figures so it might be even quicker like for like.. I’m looking at buying a GT3 (manual 997.2 ideally). Problem is, I’ve just told the wife we can spend a bit more on a new house...

I just want to get the 500e back to a high standard and then use it for a fair weather toy. Dave! You've been saying that for forever now mate; is it getting any closer or is life still proving to be an obstacle? Life, house, kids :lol: The eldest starts school in September and the youngest will th...

I just want to get the 500e back to a high standard and then use it for a fair weather toy. I’d like to replace the ML with an estate but know the practicality with the dog won’t be there. So the next family bus should be a diesel of some kind. I will then look at ML63 6.2s again and inevitably buy ...

I watched Bladerunner 2049 yesterday.

They somehow turned it into a snooze fest with less atmosphere than the original. Very disappointing.

Dave!

I have to agree with Rev, if you couldn't go out and pass a driving test tomorrow then you're the person who should be getting off the roads. No one has a right to drive or a right to avoid a retest just because they have a job or need to take time off for a retest. People are killed by piss poor d...

The ML needs the headlining dropping so I can fix the hydraulic ram leak for the tailgate. The Defender needs a chassis section replacing, front pinion shaft seal doing and a new rear diff cover Inhave fitting. The 500e, lots of jobs I want to do but only NEEDS a hydraulic leak in the rear suspensio...

I definitely meet the minimum standard but think I would need lessons to pass the test. Being a good driver and passing the test isn’t necessarily the same thing. I can remember being to,d that during manoeuvres you shouldn’t need to use the throttle, just the clutch. I then asked a driving instruct...

Why’s it so hard to make a flatter burger? Just use the same amount of meat in a bun/ roll which was baked for a small child. An XL Bacon doubleCceseburger from Burger King should be used as an appropriate template for burger size and shape. Some burgers are like having a huge meatball in a roll. Da...

I go through a lot of audio books travell8 g to work and back and this one was fascinating. https://www.amazon.com/Handful-Hard-Men-Battle-Rhodesia/dp/1612003451/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 Lots of derringer do, what appears to be a very honest account from a guy I knew who lived in Rhodesia...
