General Discussion Area / Re: The Royal Train
« on: 05 July 2025, 16:45:53 ».In a perfect world, freight would travel by rail and trucks banished from the roads, other than smaller trucks to do local runs from train stations to delivery depots.
People who cant pass a test to prove they are capable of driving to a reasonably high standard forced to take trains and taxis because they are banned from the roads.
Then, nice clear roads with high standards of driving, and no motorway speed limits for the rest of us.
We can but dream.
Exactly what I experienced driving through Germany on Sunday, in fact.
And people tell us, we won the war.
Import the 3rd world & become the third world.

My neighbour has a 1960s 3.4 Jaguar which his mother bought new it's simply stunning in red with chrome wire wheels, that's the only Jaguar I'd love to own, the modern versions just don't hit the spot.

Had the RRS valeted, it was pretty dirty after our trip to Devon & the various dusty paths we've driven over taking the dogs out & sand from the beach being trodden into the carpets , it's now sparkling in & out, the young eastern European lad gets a lot of business from my neighbours now so he reduces mine by a tenner.

« on: 01 July 2025, 17:04:55 ».Just realised I posted the same thing twice.The heat? OK
The heat must be really getting to me.
All this fuss about a few warm days, it really is getting ridiculous health warnings , keeping hydrated, surely most of us on here have been around long enough to cope with it , one or two of us may have even ventured abroad for some extra sunshine....😂

The total morons that have vandalised our local cemetery, we went there this morning to wifeys parents grave to place some flowers and tidy around it, luckily it had not been targeted but the senseless vandalism surrounding it was dreadful flower holders strewn around & flowers destroyed ,even ornaments on children's graves smashed to pieces what on earth goes in the brains of those responsible? I truly would love to catch them and deal with them.

My neighbour has a Ford Focus estate if you're sticking with Ford they're really quite spacious now, but I believe that they have these
"wet belts" which appear to be problematic.

« on: 25 June 2025, 18:51:03 ».The Mondeo catastrophically failed it's MOT today.What's killed it? Rust?The End.
Actually that wasn't strictly true, it did fail, knackered front discs and rear arm bushes mainly, and advisories for corroded subframes front and rear, corroded rear arms, and corroded rear springs. He said the subframes had about a year in them.
What's really done for it though, is a failing dual mass flywheel which accounts for the stiff gear change and vibrations.
I was emotional when I posted the MOT fail!
Upsetting maybe, but time for a new car exciting times ahead treat yourself to something you've always wanted 🚗🚗🚗

I really like the guy, his way with words is so simple & straight to the point..
