General Discussion Area / Can't log in.... again
« on: 29 August 2025, 20:18:36 »
So, using Mrs Opti's computer as all I get is a "You are banned" message. I've removed all he cookies, but this time it still won't play ball.
Any suggestions, because this keeps happening on a regular basis.

I expect they keep a stock pot Ron.
The giant cooking pot still has a couple of pith helmets floating around in it from the good old days of empire.

« on: 28 August 2025, 11:23:38 »I miss my Senator more than my Omega ....Always preferred the Granada to the Senator, especially the later MK3 saloon. That said the facelift Omega B.was the car the.Scorpio should have been.
The Ford designers must have been on magic mushrooms when they designed the Scorpio!
Perhaps he was the same dude who designed the Fiat Multipla.

« on: 24 August 2025, 17:38:20 »Given the RRS a much needed wash, been up by the river over the fields with the dogs every day this week, so much dust around I've never seen the land so dry around here.
Yep....same here. Dry as a nun's pussy.
On the plus side there has been no need to mow the lawns for the last couple of months.

« on: 24 August 2025, 15:57:49 »Car washed and dried on Friday, tyre shine, back to black and inside windscreen cleaned, £12. If you think I can be bothered at that price.....You could buy a brand new Dacia Spring for the same money as that Merc.That won't make it any easier to work on.
Much more sensible.
Personally, I'd go for an F-Pace with the 575BHP SC V8.....then drive it to Viezu for a little work and 700BHP.
You think our Lord Opti works on his cars?
I was pretty hands on for years.
I still wash them by hand. I believe your elderly scouse uncle pays the illegals to wash his car.
Twelve f*ucking quid.
That would have been a weeks wage in Barnsleywakefield in 1975.
As for me.....a couple of squirts of cheap washing up liquid in a bucket of cold water, then apply with a sponge.
Rinse with hose. Job done.
Two bottles of 5% beer as a reward.

It'll be great to drive and sound like the end of the world though.

« on: 23 August 2025, 12:36:56 »What are indicators?Spoken like a true BMW driver.
Driving two Germans myself, I’m genuinely surprised when people let me out at a junction, or let me filter in etc. Contrary to the bad reputation that German vehicle drivers have, I always indicate, and it’s my pet hate when any driver doesn’t indicate their intentions when leaving a roundabout. When they exit one turn before me without indicating, I throw a tantrum and shout ‘I could have gone then if you’ve have indicated you selfish tw*t’, even though I know they can’t hear me.
I rarely let men out.....although pretty girls I will often let out and also blow them a kiss.
Some smile back. Others form their fingers and thumb into a tube shape as they move their hand up and down.

Free of charge?
Life can be a real bitch at times....

« on: 22 August 2025, 11:33:43 »Looked at various makes and models over the months as a company car, looked at MG and thought nothing special in the looks and practical offerings.
Need an estate or an SUV and am still looking.
But was out and about to day and saw one of these only had chance to follow it but must admit we both were impressed with what we saw.
Not practical for me for work and health reasons,
But thumbs up to MG

Quite a few Cyberster around. Mainly driven by women.
I believe the advertised car is the single motor version, so will be purchased mainly by the hairdressing community.
