Re: Parking space widths

I think by now most of them have either failed and been scrapped, failed and been fixed, or never were going to and never are going to fail. They're 15-20 year old cars now, etc. times marching on Beany - M3s could be 18-24 years old - and cooking e46s could be almost 27 years old! There were plent...

never had any issues with any. I didn't have any rear subframe mount issues with my e46 either though - so maybe these internet horror stories aren't a guarantee!

Re: The Movie Thread

Road House (New one) It was alright, Jake Gylenhall was good. It was close enough to the original to be recognisable without being slavish. Connor McGregor was ridiculous but I’d watch him in more trashy action films tbh. it was awful! JG was pretty good, but if you took away him you'd be left with...

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.

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.
