He’s always been a slimy smarmy cnut so it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest

I can definitely remember my mate who was into his hip hop in the early 90s loved Lexus before anyone here had really heard of them. Odd that in the US they treat different badges as totally different brands. I’ve hear they have always been posh Toyotas. I was going to say maybe because they’re used...

Merc failed its mot on worn rear tyres. Rather annoying as I’d swapped the fronts to the spare winters as I knew they were getting low, but at a (very quick) glance the rears looked fine. Have stuck the winters on there too and will look at a new set in a couple of months. May look at something othe...

Lexus are the cheaper more sensible alternative to a bmw or Mercedes, much like Skoda are to vw

Or something.

A rover metro will carry a washing machine

Might be harder to find than a hire van though

There were rumours years ago and various people said it would never happen.

They all like Ferrari, and their massive egos mean most would love the chance to be the first Ferrari world champion since 2007, thinking they could be the one to finally turn the team around.

Quite a collection. :shock: He does appear to drive them though. He is the purchaser (and subsequent modifier) of The Beast. I prefer the new colour, but it looks like they forgot to put the clearcoat on top :? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rXTGHaHamM It’s not painted, it’s a vinyl wrap. Still t...

You could clearly see it under the strap, surprised he didn’t feel it when he was pulling it behind him before the jump.

I guess too much adrenaline pumping from both the illegal entry / jump and the thrill of the jump / getaway itself.

So is there any new tech on the horizon which is going to give an alternative to the current design template for EVs which seems to be to cram as many heavy batteries as possible into a traditional car "shape"? Only the same things they’ve been promising are just around the corner for the...

Lol, £25 a corner for a rear calliper repair kit with piston, £70 for a pair of complete replacement callipers. Even a tight arse like me can’t be bothered DIYing it for that

Yeah, I use them pretty regularly unless I need something same day urgent. I thought it was only the rears which are more model specific / expensive, but can get a pair of rears and pads for under £100 😂 Rear pads and shoes shared with e46 m3 😄 Annoyingly bmw don’t list a piston size or sell one. Th...

Went to Colchester in the X5 to collect some furniture, about 40 miles of dual carriageway. Driving at low speed through the town centre I noticed a squeak / squeel following us. Parked up for 10 mins or and when we set off for home it wasn’t doing it. Got home and noticed through the rest of the mu...

Also shot down both an A-50 radar detection plane and il-22 control centre in the past week or so

Are Russia able to source / replace anything from anywhere are are they just churning through their stock?

For that sort of money I’d expect the structural rigidity of a Kraft cheese slice

It does taste different, but I still do it because I’m too lazy to make a fresh cup. Also don’t actually mind it cold if I’m not in need of a hot drink by the time I remember I haven’t drunk it.

I’m sure by the time we actually get to hear about it they’ve been around for ages

When it warms up a bit just take the doorcard off and peel back the membrane and spray the inside of the latch mechanism with some white grease.

Same reason you can get a four door 4 series bmw I expect

I was not aware of this. However I was aware of the BRM H-16 which being a pair of stacked flat 8s is 8 less than the H24
