General Car Chat / Re: So what have you done to your car today?
« on: 07 June 2012, 22:07:29 »
Nothing. Nothing for ages actually. Starting to get worried... :-\
Same with any car, but especially so with Omegas, keep on top of the preventative maintenence, and they are reliable runners IMHO.

Just don't keep launching them, it buggers the suspension and alignment

With the exception of the obvious servicing, is there a guide on here?

.....
At least they have changed licences a little for the better......, or towing a caravan, both on a motorway within 15mins of passing....absolute lunacy IMHO .....

You still can, just maybe not quite as big as you used to be able to.  ;) ;)

and, in many cases, you now have to use a smaller car to tow it with. Complete nonsense. ::)

It's worked out kinda well for me, i do get some jobs driving 7.5t for people who can't.

Not fr work obviously, that would be illegal  ::)

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Very good indeed. 8) :y

... Plus. There should be a secondary test before driving on a motorway. IMO.

Abso-rather-lutley chris, I've been saying that for years.

At least they have changed licences a little for the better....once I passed my test I could've been in a 7.5t, or towing a caravan, both on a motorway within 15mins of passing....absolute lunacy IMHO

Rubberneckers.
How many times have you crawled in traffic for half-hour on the motorway to find the accident is on the other carraigeway? and then you get rear ended by some tw*t looking at the accident because you've had to brake because the other tw*t in front is also looking at it!

Should carry the death penalty

General Car Chat / Re: Trafficmaster Oracle to cease service
« on: 05 June 2012, 15:35:49 »
It may use the same sensors, but neither myself or FatherT ever really found it accurate or useful  :-\

Trouble is quite often it would report a major issue, but the road continues to be fine. So we never really trusted it enough to re-route!
So if the radio said the m40 had severe delays on, you'd ignore that too  ???

TBH, in the 4yrs I've used Oracle daily across 5 cars (Bullet, Tractor, Goldie, TBE and the Rover), I can only think of one occasion where a reported significant delay (30min +) was non existent.

In the Rover, it was particularly good, as reception was astounding - used to pick yup the A43 pole near Tesco from Boots, and the one on Jnc11 roundabout one from the roundabout at the top of the hill near Middleton Cheney.


If its what I'd call a borderline delay (20-30m), I'll get Mrs TB to check live traffic cameras, to get some idea if traffic is crawling, or at standstill - latter always means reroute.


The black units are better as well, as it gives a clue how far away the problem is. The silvers lack this.

I've never once in 25 years of driving found a radio traffic report that's accurate to less than 1 hour.....most times the incident is long over by the time they report it, or wrong direction/road/location

Useless b*ggers

These things are amazing, everyone I've recommended them to thought "what a piece of cr*p" when they arrived, but swear by them now


Wasps are territorial, they won't nest where they think there is a nest already.

will stop them coming back once they're gone, and they're cheap as chips

Rolf Harris was in Tesco last week when a woman  came up to him and asked "are you that bloke from the 70's who did "two little boys?""

"no" Rolf replied, "that was Gary Glitter"

I have been married for 18 years tomorrow :y

My honest answer would be, if your seriously thining down those line Martian you can't be happy with your Wife or Partner. If your not really happy with your partner then go for it but in my opinion she needs to be told to be fair.

One assumes she's not an oofer??


Why? in my view thats right. My Mrs is actually a member but doesn't sign in
 :y

I wasn't questioning the idea of her being one, merely that she's obviously not due to the original post!
