I don't understand why people drive into a space  :-\
it's much easier to reverse into a space  :) .....

It's not so easy to get the trolly or pram to the back of the car though when it's reversed in  ;)

Surely your wallet is lodged behind the counter at the local Jag dealership :D ;D
On the subject of moth I seem to get plagued with very small moths here just as I did last year.


You could buy an Audi, where they charge you for one of their staff to acquire all cash, cards and anything else that might be of value in your wallet. Including the wallet itself. This charge also include rubber gloves for when the bouncer ejects you from the showroom for looking poor....
I've often thought I'd like to win the lottery and wander into one of these showrooms in dirty jeans and a tee shirt. What fun.

Back in the 60's I had a mate who was a builder, he saved up, in cash, enough to buy a Ford Zepher.

He wandered into the Ford showroom in his builders gear, cash in a paper bag, and got ignored until he sat in one.

A few minutes on the phone can make a huge difference to the price.

Car insurance.....house insurance.....AA/RAC. :y

I agree, but you shouldn't have to.

Are they any good?

Is this one any good? :- https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B084M5ZL5L/ref=as_li_ss_tl?SubscriptionId=AKIAJO7E5OLQ67NVPFZA&ascsubtag=540378660-192-&tag=msnukrfre-21

As both cars are not used much these days for long journeys, I though of getting a couple.
The wife's astra will be laid up for weeks now she is on her summer break. It's been the same for the last two years and it has never had any problems starting. I'm talking to you, Barry.

Pardon, did somone say something? ;D

This article focuses on independent garages and the cost to the motorist, but I see it as another way to get old cars off the road:

Me 'Why has my Insurance gone up by £70'

Them 'I can give you £40 discount of that price'

Me 'I've hardly used the car because of COVID'

Them 'Ok, you can have an extra £25 discount'

Me 'What if I reduce my annual mileage by !000?'

Them 'I can give you £40 discount for that'

Me 'I've fitted a dashcam'

Them 'You can have an extra £25 discount for a dashcam'

It beggars belief, but that's cheaper than the comparison sites.

According to a label on the bottom of my laptop it's a Lenovo G550 with a model name of 2958 all this ssd stuff means absolutely nothing to me.
If the laptop does what you need it to, why should it matter?

It upsets TB.

I dont think we get the sun enough for small panels to actually do anything useful.

And its rarely the summer when you need the battery maintained ;)
See reply number 2  ;D

No, I ignore your posts 8)
You also reply to people who weren't talking to you.
Don't go on 'The Chase', or you'll keep giving wrong person answers  ;D

I resemble that remark ???

TB will probably be along shortly to tell me it is cheap commie crap that won't last 5 minutes. :)
Consumer grade, Chinese stuff.  What could possibly go wrong.

Miserable old bastard..... :D ;) :)

Less of the old... ;D

I'm going to North Yorkshire for a week....again. Don't care if it's cold, raining or whatever, a change of scenery will do just fine.

They can be a bit hit and miss plus they need to be directly connected to the battery live (as the standard ports will get shut down after a period of time).

Might just be easier to fit a convenient charge port and occasionally connect a charger to them (This is what the F_type is getting)

This one's got an ODBII port connector.
