I was thinking a lot closer to home than the US....
Welcome to OOF
Yeah, I'll be equally glad to put 2023 behind me. What a shitty year, although I'm thankful I've not even been near a hospital this year. Probably just as well, as you've hogged the bedsSome ol' crap about 12th night, blah blah...
If the 12th night superstition is anything to go by, I’ll agree with you on this occasion. I’ve had enough shit luck the last couple of years so I’m happy for you not to tempt fate ….. leave them be.
Put a deposit down on the Zafira's successorDacia Duster or CL500
Get a cree torch instead you will be astonished at the difference 👍
I had a 1996 Rover 216D which I paid £500 for, had it for a couple of years, didn't do much to it, didn't need to either, and waved it off on the back of a scrappies truck.
For a cheap run a round it was great and I can't remember why I scrapped it now.
Did it help?………
the later Rover 200 shape ……
Oops, just remembered that they renamed this to Rover 25.
They're like jigs, only more mailableThe bungs are there to plug holes used to position body jugs during assembly and crash repair. They don't have drain holes in them.Sorry, wrong bungs
But I doubt they use body jugs
Because no tyre has ever dried rotted. Ever
Similarly, there's a reason why hot water bottles have expiry dates...
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.
