Had an enjoyable, fast run across the Dales at dusk.  Reminded me how capable the X351 really is  :y

Is that when it works !!
We were joking earlier on our way back from Yorkshire how it usually breaks down on the way back home from holidays ;D

Forgot to put my garden bin out last night.  :(

Now I have to waste a few hours bagging the contents and taking it to the tip.  >:(

Despite having to pay council tax of over £1600 pa ( which to me only covers having the bins emptied) we now have to pay extra (cant remember how much - circa £75 pa) to have our garden waste bin emptied. >:( >:(
I think our council tax came through the other day, £2800 I think, to empty the bins 26 times unless there is a hint of wintery weather...

Our green bin was around £40 since they started charging, but doubled this year, no doubt to help pay for the bone idle lame and lazy.

And, despite charging us 2800/26 = >£100 each time they empty our bins, they want to either half our bin sizes, or move to collection every 3 weeks.  Knowing West Northants council, former South Northants council before they blew all their money on a new office block and went bankrupt, they'll do both.

An old Micra cabriolet pulled in front of me, so I had to do a full on emergency stop.  Never mind, we all make mistakes, so I just followed her along to the next village at a rapid 20mph....    ....where she did exactly the same to another car!

At the first opportunity, I decided to overtake, look in mirror after, she's swerving all over the road, my immense 50mph to overtake must have scared her witless

Just used one of their new touch screen fuel pumps.
Am I imagining it or ... on the old pumps if you just put your debit/credit card in, that the machine just registered the fact that you were going to pay at the pump or did you HAVE to choose pay cashier or pay at pump.

Woman cashier said you had to choose  ..... I said you didn't  :-\ :-\  ::)
Always had to select round these parts, unless it was a Pay at Pump only, or the kiosk was closed

Merc drivers. All of them. Retards.

I can only assume the stupid handbrake pedal confuddles their drivers.  Not seen a single Merc get over 25mph in NSL all day, FFS.

Mine came with a 6m HP hose.  No issues really.  Beats moving the thing.

So very nearly lost at fuel station roulette.   My arse aches from clenching for several miles...

Another vote here for a proper remapping, and not use tuning boxes.

Great to see you on here again Tony H :y

I just use to refurb wishbones, set of poly bushes, new ball joints, and new rubber bushes, they will last longer than standard arms.
Exactly this :y
