Speaks volumes. If I lived anywhere on Alfreton Rd. in Nottingham I’d be spending my tesla money moving literally anywhere else.

General Discussion Area / Re: Sending a Fax Overseas - Paperless.
« on: 29 April 2018, 10:02:05 »Print it and Ups it
This.
All the to and fro, petrol, time etc it’ll pay for itself. I’d just print, sign, do whatever and have fed ex or someone come collect it from my door.
However, the costs may be steep, as it appears they need to deliver the package to the 1980s!
Bloody fax indeed...

Clearly designed for people who are chauffeur driven at all times.
I can’t imagine having eyesight poor enough to think that’s an acceptable vehicle, while still being able to hold a licence

I paid the local eastern european chaps at the imo car wash £30 to clean SWMBO's skoda inside and out.
Arguably expensive, but given that its spotless inside and out and they removed enough dog hair to knit a whole new dog, I think it was ok value.

Cheers.
Thankfully I get in on the basis of being a qualified bean counter!
Looking at their store map, SWMBO and I are going to be moving to Sutton Coldfield in the coming months (hopefully) so we can get to the Brum one easily enough - although I suspect that will be rammed most of the time.

1.25 tonne seems a bit lightweight for my preference.

Been lucky enough to see these “in the metal” twice; once in Hong Kong and once in San Diego. Awe-inspiring both times!

Probably only turned carcinogenic when exposed to direct sunlight

Indeed, this one seems to be quite well behaved (touch wood!).
The swede also passed today, with only an advisory for balding front tyres. They’re 30k old and I knew they were close to shot, but I wasn’t going to drop £150 only to find out the rest of the car was Donald ducked.

Probably because the yanks will sue if someone forgets to put a sticker on the dash reminding them to breathe in and out!
