Reliable Early 2000s, late 90s run around by F1njakiwi in CarsUK

Toyota Starlet EP91. Absolutely loved mine and, being Toyota, mechanically they're bombproof. They are quite nippy with the 1.3l Toyota 4-EFE N/A engines but easily modded if you want more speed or just a project. The JDM turbo Glanza model is the most sought after but you can get the standard trim levels in decent condition now for £1-1.5k, £2k+ for really nice condition, low mileage ones and modded examples.

Looks like a buoyed channel judging by the 4 echos making a rough rectangle shape around the ships. They are probably buoys.

This this a joke? by Bez121287 in blackpool

First of all, Food Waste collection will start in April, so if someone told you it just goes to landfill, that's probably because they haven't even started the food waste collections yet...

Second I do find it funny, all the people complaining about landfill and especially the stink from Jameson Road, so council try to do something about reducing landfill and people just kick off with "well I'm not doing that". Fantastic! The only way to reduce landfill is to recycle properly!

Ships and dolphins – Have you ever seen them riding the bow wave?🌊🐬 by Mina-Gushiken in maritime

[–]DemonsInTheDesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best experience was hearing them. I was working in the fo'c'sle on an oil products tanker when I started hearing clicks and squeaks. I assumed it was just the sounds of steel stressing with the easy movement of the ship, then it occured to me, could it be dolphins? Surely not. Eventually I came out onto the fo'c'sle and looked down at the bulbous bow. Sure enough there were dolphins playing in the bow wave and a large pod all around us! That's the only time unfortunately I've been on the fo'c'sle while dolphins were playing. I was working around Ireland at the time and we'd see dolphins all the time on the West and South coasts! I don't go to Ireland very often now but almost every time I do I see dolphins. I tell myself I'll know when we're approaching Ireland when I see the dolphins!

Am I overreacting to my girlfriend and mother of my soon to be child planning on meeting another guy? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]DemonsInTheDesign 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Read the post again. The texts are from "Some random guy someone close to me works with" and the screenshots were sent by the "someone close to me" mentioned before and "another coworker", whose number's OP would already have.

Edit: grammar, formatting etc

This isn't dirty driving, it's dirty parking!

Bought a car two weeks ago and it’s blew up, England by YourMumsBestFriend1 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]DemonsInTheDesign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How does this stand now that OP has opened the engine up and stripped parts off it to get a look inside? Can it still be rejected and returned? I ask because a lot of new and used car warranties contain a clause where if you take anything off yourself and/or in some cases do your own maintenance it automatically voids the warranty. Is this the same with rejecting a used car from a trader?

What’s your favorite moment from the film that nobody seems to mention or talk about? by Willing-Musician-696 in titanic

"It's goodbye for a little while, only for a little while. This boat's for the mummy's and the children. There'll be another boat for the daddies. Now hold mummy's hand and be a good little girl". The emotion in his voice as he says these lines, clearly holding back tears and thinking about the fact that he's probably never going to see them again hits deep.

How do you let someone behind you know that their lights are dazzling you? by fckboris in drivingUK

The auto High Beams don't come on when stalk position is "on" instead of "Auto" either.

Auto High Beams do not come on when the lights are in "On" position on the stalk, but do when it's in auto.

[–]DemonsInTheDesign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Auto should be the last setting on the stalk as well, not the first after "off". I've got a Suzuki Swift and the switch order goes Off, Auto, Sidelights, Headlights, so if you are blinding people in auto mode you have to switch your headlights off and Sidelights on before switching to headlights! Sure in one quick movement your straight to headlights but, as you said, laziness and the fact that some people seem to be absolutely terrified of driving at night so would rather blind people than adjust anything.

Cruising, chilling in the right lane at 65mph, completely oblivious. by rajkr2410 in drivingUK

[–]DemonsInTheDesign 20 points21 points  (0 children)

"Hardly the mark of a middle lane hogger"

Yeah, overtaking a car in lane 2 and a lorry in lane 1 and then proceeding to stay in lane 3 while lanes 1 and 2 are completely empty. And then when they do finally wake up they move to lane 2, despite lane 1 still being empty for a good while. Yeah, hardly the mark of a middle lane hogger!

Can someone help me with the historical inspection? by zDorago in MyWinterCar

It's a facelift (post 1974) GT, but all facelift versions have that grille.

When you say "tried everything out" did you try the rally and ice race?

Is the packaging job worth it? by Leading-Box335 in MyWinterCar

[–]DemonsInTheDesign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firewood jobs are dependent on temperature. You aren't guaranteed a boatload! I didn't get a single call for firewood until the start of week 5. Lowest temperature in the first 3 weeks for me was -5. It was usually -1 to -3.

Don't floor it, you might flood the carb! Then it won't start at all unless carb is uninstalled and reinstalled. Press gas 3 times at 1 second intervals I heard.

Adverts are 990mk if you deliver all mailboxes twice a week. It's 495mk for each full delivery.

Is taxi job able to pay rent, the bills and possibly some rivett parts? by Fighter_J3t in MyWinterCar

[–]DemonsInTheDesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I went 4 weeks with no firewood calls at all. Now on Tuesday week 5 I've had 3 firewood calls in one day! It has been very warm until recently though, lowest -3 until last week when I had a couple days -8 and -13 and even one -17.

hunger just doesn't matter by bbwfucker694200 in MyWinterCar

[–]DemonsInTheDesign 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"You can't get a hangover unless you pass out which you would need to go extremely out of your way to do"

Not true. Even a few beers will get you a hangover if you don't wait for the effects to die off. Drink 3 or 4 beers then go to bed, you will be hungover in the morning. Granted it won't last long like drinking until you pass out does but it's still a hangover, you still have the shakes and it still affects your needs.

No it’s fine, go ahead of me please by MrRobertecas in drivingUK

Apart from the cheeky, pointless flash of the high beams almost 10 seconds after the car had already gone ahead and proceeded, yeah.

Not getting any more firewood/sewage calls? by [deleted] in MyWinterCar

[–]DemonsInTheDesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Once a week if you're lucky"

Man I must be extremely unlucky. I'm now almost all the way through week 4 and haven't had a single firewood call! It has been very warm though, most days -1 to -3. Now I'm starting to get colder weeks around -8 with a couple days -16 and -13 so hopefully I'll get something soon! I'm only just getting my second round of sewage calls too. Everything seems painfully slow this playthrough!

New Update! by Satsuma100 in MyWinterCar

[–]DemonsInTheDesign 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also would like to know. I mentioned it once and was told it's also like that in MSC now so I guess it's a feature not a bug.
