General Discussion Area / Re: Aftermarket park sensors

« on: 21 January 2008, 20:53:31 »

When on holiday in Spain the other year, it was quite ammusing watching the locals park in the street. They didn't need sensors - when the car in front or behind moved they knew they'd gone far enough!!

......or earn into the top tax band.
.......

This used to apply to me when I helped make cough sweets! I could never understand why I'd to fill the bugger in when I was PAYE though, even the local tax office talked themselves into a hole trying to justify themselves. When Cadbury took over & my tax office moved to Brum they said I no longer needed to fill 1 in. Presumably it depends how your tax office interprets the rules. :-/
Putting beanz in tinz doesn't pay well enough (contrary to local belief  ) to worry aboout 40% tax

I bought a used one off Jim but it is an Irmscher one

An Irmscher 'wooden' wheel would look far better in a saloon than in an estate car . How much would you sell it for?      

I don't think I'd be prepared to spend proper irmscher money on a fancy Lenkradkranz

I've always fancied one of them but unfortunately, like yours, I've never seen one with radio controls. I've even emailed 'always_good' to ask if he/she ever gets them.

Mines got them

From where? :-? As I said, I contacted this seller about them, and his/hers came without.

Available NHS dentist not spotted in my area for many decades....  

I go to a(n) NHS dentist the week after next so he can finish the crown he started before Christmas. It'll be a couple of quid shy of £200  
It's a good job I work at Heinz as I think we'll be on beanz on toast in Feb. This month .... her car insurance, my road tax, daughter's uni accomodation of a grand   plus a journey to  Plymouth & Portsmouth.
I can't wait for more OT in the morning!

How can they end Veria Duckworth in such away after 33 years in the street    At least they could have waited until they moved to Blackpool for good. I know that she isn't that well but still they could have waited until then surely.

 Yes I know its coronation street but hey its a program to watch and when swmbo wants to corrie its corrie thats on and thats that, BE TOLD!!!!

What's Coronation Street?  :-?

........ One ive come accross in London is im sitting in the left lane at traffic lights......i wanna turn left, but the signs say i carnt!! Why ffs.....its not as the left turn is a one way street!

There's a similar example here as you go to Tesco.
Why can't we have what the Americans have ie turn right on a red signal where/when possible. (obviously swapped round to driving on the left!  ) I believe the Aussies do it too

......, but any car that can outdrag my MV6 at full bore up the A420 from Oxford, and hold the corner whilst my back end is trying to overtake me (it was piddling down) at silly speeds has got to be worth a look imho...

They're  four wheel drive aren't they?  :-/

Old Jags have just never floated by boat.

Wouldn't mind a X type, but only coz one out dragged and outhandled my MV6 a couple of years back  

Buy a Ford Mundane - same car(ish)       but cheaper.

..... the 6 small bits of welding the jag needed for an mot turned in to a 14 hour solid weld-a-thon!  .....

They do say that Jags rust where most cars don't have places! I would still love one though.
I took my car to have the A/C re-gassed at an independant Jag specialists. He runs a rare Daimler (XJ6) Coupe.

At the end of the day, I'm VERY lucky.

It's the people that don't walk out of the car, that are unlucky...

At least you're positive about it.
