General Car Chat / Re: Tesco pay at pump

Pay in Kiosk, Pay at Pump, this all sounds very complicated. In our neighbouring village garage we still have a man/woman that comes out and fills up for you. Their fuel is always cheaper than anywhere else as well.
How old school is that.  :y

A salute and cheery wave as you depart. ;)

Looks like the link has been taken down, did anyone screenshot it?

I’ve not had chance to read it, but I suspect it’s just another flavour of the month by the woke, appeasing pen pushing bosses that seem to infest the police and all other public services.

Just like every male cop was a rapist and predator since one bad apple (Wayne couzens) was found in the barrel. Cue then huge campaigns shouting about “violence against women and girls” and “male violence” etc.

What they didn’t tell you is that something like 98% of women who said they had “felt intimidated by a male in public” actually only felt that way because a “man had come too close in the street”. Think of central London / tube network etc.

They skew all figures to suit whatever the flavour of the month is to make themselves look good. That’s why forces can afford rainbow cars and to dance at gay pride but at the cost of no longer attending domestic house burglaries or many frauds.

Believe it or not, most cops on the ground (uniform and detectives) try their damndest, but this woke rot which is ravaging through management is turning most forces into a laughing stock.


Snogging cops while on duty at a pride march.

Apparently this is 'progressive'. ::)

It is The LC colour, nearest I'll get to one at the prices they are now,  It was purchased for a bit less than advertised, It's on a 63 plate, the only thing I think it wasn't speccd with is heated steering wheel,, Would have liked the full fat VXR but the Tax on them is Stupid, did look at one, it was red so that's a no instantly,.
Biggest issue I've found is Traders who can't be arsed, not tuning up, thinking that everyone is a bit dim,and you point out faults with the car that are looking you in face, obvious ones and they get very defensive, looked at one rear beam heavily corroded to excess,  needed discs,, Wouldn't discount price, and said it's fine,,,   Too

Took a while to find this one, but we have it all locked up.☺️
Try to get some pics up at weekend.

Sounds like a good buy, BG. :y

 You won't miss the heated steering wheel if you grew up with ice on the inside of the windows like I did. ;)

In order to get the heated wheel and keyless entry on my car I would have needed to find an extra £800+ for the comfort pack. Needless to say I didn't tick that box.

Does that provide comfort for the car thieves?  ;D

I hear that cars with keyless entry are easier to nick. :)
Yes.....but....on the wife's grandland, if you press the key to lock it, you need to press the key to open it again. Keyless entry doesn't work until you lock the car that way again. I hope that is also the case on more expensive models. If not, why not?


Do you keep your keys in a Faraday cage?......supposedly this will stop thieving scum from nicking your car without the need for keys.

So glad to read that my 29.17p pkwh, plus 62.11p per day standing charge Octopus electricity tariff subsidises EV owners who enjoy a 7.5p pkwh tariff to charge their milk floats!  ::)

Roughly £56 a quarter even if you don't use much electricity. >:(

What have you bought BG?

The XJ jag is a fine looking car with an arse shaped like that of a black woman......which is fine unless the black woman is Diane Abbott. :)

No question the hand of dumza is behind this .
I'm increasingly disturbed at the speed of influence that is occurring to , from and for the shouty bearded men that hate us .
It seems to have went from logarithmic to exponential since the seventh of October last .
I wonder if that date is looked back on as the catalyst of change in their eyes .
I now believe that there is a chance that I'll see the inevitable clash between the indigenous British citizen and those of that faith in my lifetime .

I wonder if Police Scotland will wish us similar at Easter .......

I see  the Drakeford replacement completes the set.

Inevitable really. ::)

If it does, its likely that Putin will then carry on into other countries, hoping to rebuild his beloved USSR.

Can he though?

Russia has nothing like the power and pull of the old USSR.

Under the section ' Why do some people let the hate monster in'.......they talk blatantly of 'white-male entitlement' being the problem. :-\

You can openly say that white peoplehttp://images.omegaowners.com/forum/smf2000/Smileys/oofstd/smiley.gif are the problem, apparently. :-X
That sounds, er, racist.

Yep.....but you can be as racist as you like to white people. :)

Marcello Gandini. Designer of many of the most beautiful cars ever made. Mostly Italian, but also various others.

There was bad blood between Gandini and Giugiaro because both insisted they were the main man behind the design of the Miura.
