Re: The (mainly city-focussed) anti-car movement

I don't even understand what the original tweeter's beef is about the Cycling UK tweet. It's just a competition to win a fancy bike of your choosing because that's what people will like. And the bit about the Range Rover is just further evidence of him being an utter bellend.

Re: First Cars - Insurance

Currently looking for my younger boy. He is 17 and getting to the stage where he wants a car to practice in. Cheapest so far is a classic mini but he hates them and budget fro something decent is way outside of his price range anyway. Quote for him passing at the moment would be about £2000 Tried a...

Re: Test drive report

992 sounds like an interesting buy (although I still wish they were a bit smaller). If you got one would you still want an MX5? Have I misread your post? :? It didn't feel big - incredibly easy to place on the road. I wouldn't write off the idea of a 911 because the 992 has got too big. MX5 is the ...

Re: Test drive report

Some very nice cars there 8-)

I've kind of lost track with Porsche as to what all the different models of 911 are now. Must have a mooch down to the local dealer at the weekend to see.

What are used values and depreciation like on "normal" models of 911 these days?

Re: The House Projects Thread

At least it sounds like you have a judge who is not going to take this BS for much longer Gavster I was speaking to an architect about our barn renovation today and when he could get up for a look, potential timelines etc. "Well, looking at the pictures, first thing I need to do is get a quote ...

I'm with Jobbo, I was all febrile at the expected gratuitous pictures of vintage music playing kit and have been left utterly disappointed.

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

Was down the Borders running today and drove back over some nice single track roads which are popular with cyclists - I've ridden them a few times myself. Fvck me, do some cyclists really not want to concede an inch of road to let you overtake. They're blowing out their arse going up a hill 2/3 abre...

Re: The House Projects Thread

Sounds like you're nearly there and good to hear the judge is trying to move things quickly to what you'd hope will be a resolution.

55K is not surprising, but what a kick in the nuts to end up not getting any of it back given what you're expecting to happen.

Re: The Movie Thread

It was the same here, the audience was very quiet when it finished. I think I'm right in saying that the third part is definitely going to happen which makes sense as the end of part 2 clearly felt more like an intermission than a finale.
