It's quite amazing[or perhaps these days it isn't]how many people don't seem to get the idea of average speed cameras.

People doing 40 in a NSL zone >:(

Wucking fankers.

Mind you, the V8 dispatches such frustrations with a lovely burble >:D
Be grateful you still have NSL areas.

Oxfordshire is infecting everywhere around here, so 50mph limits are the norm in these parts.  So every knob jockey drives at 35...

..or like my commute this evening. 50MPH limit with average speed cameras. The knob jockey in the Audi A5 in front insists on slowing down (from 50) to 40 MPH past each camera.

I mean, he's driving an Audi, so I obviously wasn't expecting much in the way of grey matter, but... ;D

It's a ploy we use. If you save 10mph going past each average speed camera, you can gun it past the last one with your bonus points and be ahead of the pack. Clever eh.  ;)  ;D

And yes, I am aware that's not how they work.  ;)
My fun car is a 2020 Bmw F32 430d M Sport with indicators.
My cruiser is an Audi A6 Avant S Line Black Edition with indicators.

We've the bleddy motorbicyclists to thank for that BS on the A272. >:(

There's a camera on the way to Horsham that's in a 40 limit, next to a repeater sign. Twarts keep slowing to an indicated 29.1352 mph to pass it.

And yes, it's within a mile of an Audi dealer ;D
Onanists always think outside the box.

Yep, this was the bit past loomies, so definitely their fault. >:(

Creality.

Happy to give them money, but they need to keep to their side of the deal, and actually send the shite.

And also learn when I opt out of marketing emails, they shouldn't send me marketing emails.

I bought some stuff from a site called OnBuy. Stuff arrived ahead of delivery date and was fine. Clicked the box about NOT getting marketing shite. Vankers keep sending me marketing shite.  As i said,vankers.  ::)

Bloody raining, Blues festival in town and a car show. Now where's my waterproof?

The realisation that a fuel pipe, between the 2 fuel rails, needs to come off.  I'm sure when I come to look at it again, it won't be so bad, but yesterday, all I could see was a shit load more stuff having to come off to remove said pipe.

This is why you should never let the yanks or the French design cars.  And a JV like this engine, well, I'm oppsed

If it had been a German design, you'd be struggling to remove the differential to allow removal of the radiator cap....

Aren't there people who specialise in doing things like this?  ;D

Or....buy a car that's not so prone to expensive repairs.

Yes well done for attempting the repairs, I gave up " tinkering" a few years back as accessibility to even spark plugs became virtually impossible.
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

You will get a great sense of achievement when it's done  :)
In my experience , it only takes a few weeks for the skin to grow back on your hands  ;D

All the complete tossers out there who throw a wobbly in a bit of rain.  ::)

You know the middle lane hoggers trundling along at 60mph and I've seen a few outside lane hoggers as well this afternoon.  ::)

And don't get me started on those who spoodle along at 30mph on a twisty country A road....   >:(

Noticed when driving home from Northamptonshire this morning, that some of the gantry signs on the new bit of the A14 between Brampton and Cambridge, were advising to "stay in inside lane except when overtaking".
First time i'd seen that. I thought, fark it, i'll stay in middle lane just to plss them off
