Re: Parking space widths

Having owned the two cars in question for 5 and 4 years each, I'm inclined to value my opinion over someone who hasn't. (I'm only talking about the respective M3s, I don't care about the lesser models). The e46 is a fantastic car, if mine hadn't been driven into, chances are I'd still have it and l...

Re: Parking space widths

Again yet more proof that the E46 was peak 3 series. Dave! having owned both, the E92 M3 was better in every way than the E46 M3 (and I was very fond of both). I don't think the rod bearings in the E92 M3 were better than the E46, objectively. Subjectively the looks of the E92 are so dependent on t...

Re: Mountain Biking general thread

I did try a pair of Ride Concepts. They seemed well made, the only issue I had was they were a mid height and rubbed on my ankle. I've ended up with a pair of 5:10s that a mate rejected too and gave to me to try, (that I curse as being shit every time I put them on). I keep meaning to go and buy som...

Re: Mountain Biking general thread

I tried a few - you really need to try them on these days, the sizes, shapes and fits of them all are so varied now. I used to just get a 5:10 freerider in 9 and it would be great. Now nothing seems to fit me and I end up sending everything back.

Finally jumped on the Five Ten bandwagon, my feet have been grumbling about wearing Vans all the time. First time I’ve ever got shoes specifically for the bike so I’ll be curious to see if they change how I ride. sadly they were bought out by adidas and the current versions are awful compared to th...

My M2 is as wide as a 4C. Yours just look wide because it's so short. Chode like.

Re: Decent Recent TV

I binged it at the weekend and agree it's a great watch, really entertaining and well paced. It feels like it gave Guy Ritchie enough space to fill-out the characters and plot lines that wouldn't fit in a 2 hour movie. I'm two episodes in and really enjoying it so far. It's made a bit funnier to me...

Re: Which hoover?

I've got a fairly cheap eufy one that goes out every night. It's good for general crumbs and dirt from a 6 year old child, but not a thorough job. We have a cleaner once a week who does the proper job.

I quite liked it when the guy used to mark them out with a giant penis painted round them, so they were forced to come out and sort it for decency.

Re: Your fleet running reports

I was thinking more about the doing the hokey cokey and then you turn around, but you do you. It’s all about that tricky fifth vertebrae. Once it’s removed I’ll be able to reach. I thought it’s the rib that has to be removed? indeed - surely removing vertebrae would basically mean you won't be reac...

Re: Mouse hunting

We had a couple come in - we caught them both with humane traps and dropped them off a few miles away. Not seen any signs since.

Poison just seems like a risk, because they'll die somewhere random and you'll never find the smelly corpse.

Re: Your fleet running reports

Treated Steve to a few parts. Struts cost less than the bits of plastic (covers for where the roof bars bolt on). Hopefully weather holds out to finish off the dashcam wiring tomorrow. Steve also needs tyres rotating (continental cross contact, which are mild off road tyres). https://i.ibb.co/0MPx0...
