OV9

That's awful. Looks like it was built by someone with very limited metalworking skills. "Just make it flat and square. It'll be fine".

One Day (Netflix) Set on July 15th over twenty years it follows the story of Emma and Dexter as their lives together and apart unfold on that one day, the rest of the year you have to infer. It is very good and definitely worth a watch. There's what feels like genuine chemistry between the two, and...

I assume you've tried just cleaning the jets?

I'm not getting a response from the motor when trying to wash the rear - like at all - so I doubt that'll help!

Yeah I assumed as much!

As an aside you probably shouldn't wash your rear with screen wash. A bit harsh on the skin.

It works well I think. If you want to take it too far, then do a headliner and inner arch liners in the same material. The latter will need some kind of protective covering obviously.

My friend's brother bought the 306 RG brand new in 90something. It was quite a nice thing and the green/cream looked very nice. Compared to his other car (SII 88" land rover) it was positively decadent, although not as nice as his dad's Alfa 156 V6.

That's very frustrating.

Don't know which description is worse, the "AI" one or the seller's.

I remember it made a big impression on me, but I can't remember a single thing about it.

I'm guessing the neighbours had a lot of nonsense to waffle through?

Ermagerd. They're like. Orsum.

But can you get matching gloves?

That's quite a colour!

Do you need special glasses to be able to drive it safely?

Yes. Nobody tell @Sundayjumper. It would be a mistake.

Sreten over on M539 has bought a new project. A 187k miles Maserati QP with the Ferrari based twin turbo V8. It is, as you'd expect, quite broken.

Can think of several that apply. One job had a pug estate as the shared van. - did a video running over a hated laptop (showed it to the customer who nearly wet himself laughing) - tested VMax (private road obviously) - thought it would be fun go through muddy puddles and got it stuck. Refused to ru...

For a moment I thought this was the insurance thread and that was the premium

Don't jinx it!

In line with Rich I'm torn between the history and link they provide, and them being the literal poster children for how unearned privilege, nepotism, and back room old boys networks have maintained and entrenched inequality, unaccountability and unfairness in society.

Nyad (Netflix I think). The story of Diana Nyad and how she swam from Cuba to Florida. Annette Benning and Jodie Foster are a fantastic duo. Movie aside, what stood out for me is how completely alien and unfathomable to me having that kind of singular, obsessive drive and ability is. It is a good w...

Who is going to sweep all that mess up?

Amen and hallelujah to that.
