General Car Chat / Re: Mark Drakeford
« on: 16 March 2024, 08:07:53 »The same can be said of every city in the UK, including the picturesque southern ones ruled by lentil munchers.If they really want to "Improve" Sheffield they'll need a crane and a wrecking ball.That's just ended because......work this one out.....air quality has improved. Now, has it improved because of the speed reduction, in which case why increase it again? Or is it just magic?There's an environmental argument against such low speeds as vehicles simply aren't designed to travel so slowly... Not to mention the fact that localised pollution is increased by virtue of traffic build up.
Lundun being a case in point as localised pollution increases in direct proportion to each drop in traffic speed/flow.
Yet, some motorways have displayed the Matrix boards to reduce the speed limit to 60mph to 'improve air quality' (supposedly)...the M1 near Sheffield being one

« on: 15 March 2024, 18:05:06 »No doubt giving the wrong post code was sensible thing to do, as some guy keeps messaging me asking for more details, at 206,000k not sure cats would be any good, mot expired, lot of tin worm, have been tempted by offer of mot certificate as still fully insured, and carry out works in stages but I think Im being sentimental rather than realistic.I got mine done by a guy in Bradford for around £400.
and my eyes are steering towards Insignia estate Sri Vx Line nav. Shame about sump engine killing oil pick up seal though.

« on: 14 March 2024, 18:55:40 »Mine has done much less than yours !! What I don't understand, is, if there were premature breakages at an early stage, why did Vauxhall keep churning out Omega's with the same fault for year after year. Surely they must have upgraded something.The price

It happened to me years ago coming off the M62 just before Liverpool. I was driving some sort of Citroen (can't remember the model, I was drunk at the time)

Full of fake outrage no doubt.Just he sound of his voice pisses me off!
He is terminally dull.
I imagine his favourite colour is beige, and he only has sex in the missionary position with the lights out between 7.00PM and 7.04PM every second Tuesday.
