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...

It’s the writing that makes the magazines better. YouTube stuff I find annoying as most (apart from it appears the old evo staff) just prove either dull or overly flamboyant and very much saying it for the telly.

Dave!

Dave!

Really? Stuck in traffic I don't think it matters if you've got a twin turbo v6 does it? C'mon James you're fast becoming a caricature of yourself. Unless you levita3 into traffic then you have to have reached there at some point. 95% of my driving is to get from A to B only, normally with kids or ...

It’s ok, in 6 months time we find out he has put lipstick on an inflatable T-Rex and gets arrested while standing on a chair trying to get a hand job from it with the curtains open.

Normality will return.

Dave!

Seriously this is some dull shit. What’s the point of buying something with (faux) sporty credentials to use it like an electrical appliance? Because most driving is dull shit, and these sorts of cars are very good at that stuff. And if they hasten the death of diesels that can only be a good thing...

Yes but have you seen the ingredients in some of that stuff!!!!!!

It’s got like arsenic in and evryfink.

I blame Facebook.

Dave!

Errr. Did you just post 2 people dying? Think I'll pass on watching this one... Looking at it although it looks dramatic, I don't think they died. If you look carefully the 'explosion' didn't start from where they were but out one of the 'turrets' out the top of the tanker. A few seconds later you ...

Clutch and accelerator cabling I'm told are the things to take on road trips, not that I need to tell Chris that! You can see them both just above the fire extinguisher in the boot :D Alternator belt was a new one on me, but now also in there... The Lotus 7 Club used to take a Sprinter full of spar...
