It really does look much better, but BMW are not about to fit them as standard. That would be an extra £10,000.

I've started taking a 20 something attitude towards couriers. If I go out, I leave a note on the door telling them to stick it in the shed. If I don't receive the parcel, I claim a refund, they don't like it but I have plenty of time on my hands to torment them.
Life's too short.

Don't forget to tell your insurance company that you've modified your car

My tv.

Put it on mute during a phone call or have a visitor it randomelly reverts to sound.

Also - Sky Q, I have it set to a music channel all the time, but then when I have watched a recorded item I end up watching a News channel or an oldies soap channel.  Overnight I end up on a shopping channel. 

None of these are my choices.

Alzheim probably a faulty box.

My front lawn looks like block paving, and the one at the back looks like decking.

Another old Ford with a hefty price tag! 

That ended without a single bid.

Sought after classic Vauxhall due on 9th June.

The Mexican coupe due on 15th June.

I'm hoping I can insure the pair for  less than £500 if I shop around.

Less than the road tax on the classic Vauxhall ancient sigmund 

Roughly £730 for the Signum when taken in 12 monthly payments, and £600 due for second year road tax for the Bavarian.....If memory serves the first year was around £1400.

 To tax the large arsed insignia,, that runs on forklift fuel costs a staggering £20 English pounds per year, and it's paid in one go...none of this instalment rubbish

I'm jealous, my diesel astra is £30  :'(

It's not uncommon for me to walk into a room and then wonder what I went in there for. 

Is this normal?        

It's so common that it has a name - the doorway effect.

I'd never heard of that. Just had a read up about it, fascinating.

« on: 09 May 2024, 15:16:32 »

Sure, but hot day and engine hot when you stop it, oil pressure is zero but coolant not, that was my fear...

Do you get hot days in Finland?

General Car Chat / It's okay to buy a RR now

« on: 08 May 2024, 15:48:22 »

Provided it's one of two models, it doesn't cost over £150,000 and you don't mind coughing up £2000 for insurance

No point seeking advice / diagnosis on a car forum.
Make an appointment with your Doctor and ask for tests. 

He's forgotten who his doctor is

Cars for Sale & wanted / Re: 2.6 Elite Estate for Spares or Repair!

« on: 07 May 2024, 20:24:28 »

Still appears to be listed for sale in the same place,  and the outfit have dropped the price to £1350.

Mileage still at 90,338 though 

I thought decent omegas were selling like hot cakes, wonder why this hasn’t been snapped up!

Because the first thing most people do is check the MOT history, and that one is best avoided.

I was going to see an X Trail today, but a quick glance at its MOT history told me it had been neglected from day one.
