General Discussion Area / A12 motorcycles

« on: 15 September 2016, 21:22:32 »

I know its not all motor bikers but if they continue to come down the middle of the dual carriageway of the A12 at speeds of 60+weaving in and out they're going to be knocked off.
It's plain stupid as someones only got to deviate a small margin to take a biker out,it's becoming worse and worse ,is anyone else experiencing this? The law needs to act soon to save a fatality!

General Car Chat / Corsa d dipped beam

« on: 17 February 2016, 19:17:00 »

Has anyone else had the pleasure of replacing the H7 bulb (nearside) on a Corsa d. Let me tell you it hurts, first you need hands the size of a 3 year old and  the skin of a Rhino!
I ended up taking half the bumper off and removing main light cluster to a degree just to replace bulb,this has to be the most stupid ,rubbish design GM has ever developed
