The paint colour for those alloys is "Andrex". 8-)

Also "The car is sitting on 24inches alloy wheels. This car is a proper neck breaker".

Re: Harry’s Garage

Noice road trip this time, and I was happy to see the QV being pressed into action in place of the Testarossa. Not watched it all yet, but some interesting analysis around 25mins to explain why they got the cars transported to Barcelona rather than drive down. :geek: I was a little surprised at Harr...

Re: Your fleet running reports

I've always jump started directly battery-to-battery, because that's the equivalent to having a charged battery ? I’ve always done this too. The argument I have seen a few times is this pretty much what is stated below During jump-starting, we connect the boosting battery to ground rather than to t...

Re: The Paperboy

I had a Sunday paper round in the 80s, with ones like the Times and telegraph you had to put them through a bit at a time as you couldn’t fold them to go through a letterbox! Snap. Shop owner took me round the route for the first 2 weeks in his car. It was a brand new Mazda and if I pulled the door...

Re: Euromillions immediate purchase

I know a few people who do literally use their hot tub every single day, regardless of weather. It's not really relevant that that doesn't appeal to me - I am genuinely confused by the logistics. Are they retired? Or do they relax in the hot tub of an evening rather than sitting in their living roo...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

I've seen a few of his vids - he appears to have the same mindset as Jeremy Vile - identifying a hazard situation and then placing himself directly into it - cameras rolling.

We need a full report on the handling impact when that grass collector reaches full, and don’t think you can get away without posting an e-start video.

What a back catalogue. The BX is still a massive favourite of mine. Things I either wasn't aware of or had forgotten part 318. The Volvo Tundra (concept) 8-) https://assets.dyler.com/uploads/posts/457/images/9630/volvo-tundra-concept.jpg https://images-stag.jazelc.com/uploads/theautopian-m2en/bx.jpg
