« on: 04 April 2024, 16:29:56 »Looks like yesterday I hit the wrong button on a well known online retailer. I thought I was getting a pair of DJI Mini 2 batteries, but a paddling pool turned up. Upon checking my orders, that's what I clicked.
Bugger.

Isn't that the Ecoboom?

Obviously that's wrong too presumably...
I'm away & don't have enough interweb to read it.
You can always find what you want to find if you look hard enough. What's the past tense of dive? Here in Blighty it's DIVED but if you Google it, it'll say you can also use DOVE .... It's not correct as far as I'm concerned but the Web says is OK

General Car Chat / Re: Insurance renewal .
« on: 26 March 2024, 07:59:17 »There are certain insurance companies that are refusing to insure anyone over 70 now. Or quoting such a ridiculously high price that they know won't be accepted.
My Dad is 87 next, rand LV today for a quote & they have refused to insure him. Not sure who he's insured with at the moment, but they've quoted him £1720 for his Chrysler Grande Voyager!
The very young and the very old are always given a kicking when it comes to insurance.
indeed
some of the youngsters at work pay some pretty eye watering premiums .... they must be getting paid too much!

« on: 24 March 2024, 20:27:59 »without Googling it .... I thought the swivel headlight DSs came with the later larger DS21 type double headlight .... earlier DSs had a single round headlight.Yep, nice looking car.
It will be interesting to see how you get on with it over time.
What headlights do you have? I am unimpressed withmy bi xenons. I guess LEDs are the go to now.
It's got Bi-xenons that go round corners for some reason, How I've managed all these years going round corners I don't know..
The DS had them in the 70s
I think it was mid 50s that the DS got them !
