« on: Today at 17:58:32 »Lord Opti bought a cheap Chinese self propelled thing at the end of last summer, and he's probably used it a few times by now so will be able to give a review.
It had a beer can holder!
Which is all you need to know!
Parker Brand petrol mower with drive and a large 53 CM cut.
About £300 on Ebay but shop around and I reckon you can find one for £100 less. I believe I paid £190 ish.
Can't fault it for the money other than being glacially slow.
Chinky 173cc 4 stroke lump seems OK.
This one M'lud?

Maybe you could get it remapped to give it a bit more Oomph!
Except mine has a 21 inch cut not 17inch, and 173cc engine not 150cc.
Also, my grass box is 75L not 45L.
I have it's bigger brother so to speak.
Of course.... It also has the beer can holders!

Can get 20% off at B&Q too...
I bought a second hand McAllister mower that was only a year old last summer for £100.
It has a Briggs & Stratton motor, starts easily and cuts the grass.
So worth keeping an eye on Facebook Marketplace to see what's about.

Ebay. New or 2nd hand.
I bought a 2nd hand starter for my 2.2TDCi Mondeo for £40 about 3 years ago and it's been fine.

Ended early by the looks of it, so maybe sold elsewhere.

« on: Yesterday at 17:26:35 »I've often thought that Jay Leno would be a good bloke to have a pint with.
I wonder what the topic of conversation would be
I know, pick a car make, but lets sit in one while we chat.
It's Lord Opti, so the topic would be 19 year old blondes with big tits!

« on: 10 May 2024, 18:42:56 »Thanks Viral_Jim and for Stemo I want to inform that we have hot days almost every Summer. Now it does not look very promising...
That's more than we have!

« on: 10 May 2024, 18:41:25 »A quick google suggests he owns 181 cars and 160 motorcycles.
Can't be short of a few bob.
He must have a big garage.
Apparently it's 140,000 square feet.
Room enough for a Marina or two.
I wonder if he'd like a Marina for his collection?
I know where there's a nice looking coupe finished in Royal Blue for sale. I don't think it's the desirable 1800TC version though.
