True but the American idea of beer is Budweiser, so pretty much anything is an improvement
The little club Im a Trustee of sells a Nethergate Ale (local brewery) which is very moreish.As its just down the road from me, I've been known to pick up some lager-ish beers from Diddly Squat, its a grey label, buggered if I can remember what its called. Its a very pleasant tipple in the garden after a day at work, but its easy to get stuck into and have far too many
The west coast of the US seems to be a craft beer utopia.
18 hours. 18 bloody hours.Methinks you are unaware of how bad the RAC has got. They were crap before, but since being taken over, they are now pointless.You need to see their small print before you buy, because many of them have a very different idea of what constitutes a breakdown, recovery, potential repair, nearby garage or even just answering your phone call than you do. The less you pay p/a, the bigger that difference is. You can get an example of the actual service provided by the cheaper firms by smashing your head against the roughest brick wall you can find until you can't feel the pain.But even the nastiest company is preferable than the bloody RAC
No, that's just a mild taster of what you can expect.
Methinks you're not taking into account the several hundred jobs I've done for the RAC. They're a long way from being the worst provider, whether you're a customer or working for them. They are very bad for sitting on their own jobs for so long that they have to farm them out when their own drivers go off shift.
I think even the bad ones can beat that.

Used to be able to get into and start my old flat mates Capri with a broken chip forkDon't believe you. Nobody ever had a Capri that could actually start
Nick what?
The rusty Renault 5 or the crooklock.
I very nearly bought an iS200 several years ago. I like the look of them, and some of them are pretty rapid, and the handling is not to shabby. But I found them far too narrow inside, my passenger (the owner) was having to lean against the door so I wasn't doing man-touch every time I chagned gear.
RWD
Auto
Last time I bought a RWD it was only 600cc and and had some cylinders missing, did have Merc written on the tiny engine though.
On a more serious note, I wouldn't rule out a Lexus model, I ended up by accident driving about in a run around iS200 for over a year, and have to admit it did change my views on them, OK, So there's the Name involved, but they are basically a well designed Toyota with all the useful bits added on, and have bloody good reliability, no experience of the Diesel versions though.
I was a bit of a boozer in my youth, but rarely drink these days unless I go out.
Can't cope with the hangovers any more.
So you now just go out 30 times a month ....
The belts are used for several other models ,so probably manufactured recently
the Gates I recently purchased doesn't look "old"
obviously ,like tyres etc ,there is "new old stock" being sold too
) bought from a specialist supplier was supplied with the advice "it comes with a pack of new seals, and we strongly recommend you use them".
There's a country B road near here which has two very long straights and is actually a Roman road, its as wide as any other country B road but has no markings.
I was following a van along there last week at a respectable distance and every time a car came the other way he braked hard! I discovered that VW 'T' vans do in fact have quite good anchors and a couple of times he nearly had a Ford Mondeo in the back of his van!
) turns around the block, ensure that all four corners of a junction have a 2.5tonne 4x4 parked on them when the primary schools kick out, live main roads but never back into their drives, just stop whenever they see an emergency vehicle without realising they've actually blocked the lane, overtake on blind corners or opposite junctions yet sit behind slow moving traffic on straight stretches, wait at giveway signs for seemingly hours before pulling out in front of a truck(schoolbus for extra points) moving fast enough to scare them, turn on the rear fog lights whenever it rains but never slow down when the visibility is bad, just manage to get onto an exit slip after cutting across 3 lanes of traffic yet trundle down the on slip at 30mph and just merge into the inside lane when the slip runs out, etc etc.
When i finally killed off my Desmond, my breakdown cover covered it being brought back to my home. Then the scrappie picked it up from here.That would be quite funny. Onward travel, we will take you and your car anywhere in the UK. Where would you like to go? The scrapyard, please
