And yes, been told the same as Mike - Salt and Sugar are the two things that are very, very bad. There was a thread on Twitter about diets; 50+ years ago the diets were "bad" in terms of high fat, high carb, high calories (meats, potatoes etc) but people were more active, they ate less pro...

After a mate of mine did a blood pressure test because his parents had one lying around, then found out his was through the roof and ended up with an emergency appointment (and is now on meds) it got me thinking I needed to check mine as it's been 10 years and borrowed my parents. The anxiety kicked...

Symptoms, just looked like a normal bite, then a big red bullseye rash appeared on my thigh and now I've got quite a collection of them :| A collection? So the little fella had a few meals? Or bought the family? I mean, at least you'll get 5/5 on TickAdvisor. "Great vintage - would latch onto ...

Just clocked over 55k now on the best car I've owned. 6 years old, never failed to start, thrown an error light or broken down - other than oil changes (and a few tyres thanks to potholes) its still as it left the factory, brake pads, bulbs, battery and all. If you need an entertaining little city r...

I might be going too far back but there was "BigWillyOwner" who had a Clio Williams. Can't remember the guys name, he rocked up to a few meets. Mark ? https://i.ibb.co/0GX71gS/UNTITL16.jpg That's the fella. Found a really old picture. IIRC he was an absolute nutter behind the wheel http:/...

I had the GTi version of this - good car, reliable, always worked, solid. Very "Meh" but as a first car, fine.

Always get mine from Next. Have lasted well.

The tax breaks for EV's were always going to come to an end once they started to notice the dent in the coffers as more and more made the switch... Problem is that it makes EV's less and less appealing due to cheaper costs initally being the major draw; the increased initial price over ICE (although...

GWS! Did you catch the little bastard in the act or was it the symptoms afterwards?

Oh....well I was just chatting to the guys at work only today about arranging a karting session and we talked about Bham Wheels. Guess we can scrub that as an option!

TBH it's been a few years since I was there last....but assumed it was still open!

If anyone can...

Those sales figures are genuinely surprising re 911 to Boxster/Cayman ratio. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at these car companies who over the last 5-10 years or so are having to do so much more in the way of software development, UI design and all the security considerations that come with it. ...

I've lowballed people - but I usually do it early doors so not to waste their time, and also with reason; like giving comparitive dealer prices, what it's worth p/x and how I've settled on it where I am. I've had it work in the past, and in fact, very recently (although I still rejected the car!) Bu...

Some of the requirements that the EU are imposing sound absolutely insane to me for this UNECE WP.29. From https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/motoring-issues/cybersecurity/ "Of course, most cars have multiple users over the course of their life and WP.29 seeks to ensure that there is no pos...

You all running a tyre shop? How often are you pumping up tyres that necessitates expensive battery ones?

Double-barrelled £15 pump I've had for the last 8 years for the odd times every 6-8 weeks I need to put 2 psi in the near-side rear.

I spoke to a mate who was complaining how expensive the car insurance was for one of his kids. £1700! He said. Black box? No Told him that was incredibly cheap. Then it clicked. Apparently fronting is on the rise again, with, I assume, Tiktok bell ends calling it an "Insurance hack". But w...

We've got a private company called "Voneus" installing their own FTTP in our village as Openreach don't have any plans until 2026. I've signed up....but who knows how long it'll take - they've been working in the nearby streets for a few months now. Only on 18/2, so moving upto 500/500 wil...
