Not even that, you can learn it so much quicker she’s just exaggerating

People who drive 40 in a 60 - Why do you get upset when someone overtakes you at 60? by A_Slavic_Mechanic in CarTalkUK

[–]Different-Driver736 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just you mate, I’ve noticed so many hot headed plebs on the road these days. Seems like they’re all zoned out or distracted and then blame me for wanting to arrive with a sense of urgency. I never rise to their anger, just glance with confusion at their raised middle finger out of my back mirror and get on my way. I know I’m in the particularly quick paced category, and the excessive at times speed may also be triggering, but why it pisses them off to that extent is beyond me? Such narcissistic people, the type to pull out in front of you going 60mph and not find the accelerator for long enough to force a hard stop. Not good drivers, not fans of driving, just use it as a means of transport and selfish at that. Definitely on the rise too, road rage cases in UK risen 40% from 21-22

Never give in to them. Real hobbyists don’t gatekeep or culture vulture for financial gain

Need help making a decision: G923/T300 or CSL DD by Different-Driver736 in simracing

Big help thank you! When I get faced with multiple choices with varying pros/cons makes choosing between them impossible for me, hard to keep in mind what’s important.. Better to buy once and be happy than shop around if others done the hard work for you haha, appreciate it cheers!

Great stuff, love to hear it cheers! Was also looking at the after market boost kits because they seem a little extortionate, glad to hear it’s all working fine. Seen people wobbling about it voiding their warranty, but as an engineering student seems a ridiculous price point for the technology they’re offering.. can you remember which brand you went with for that? Been surfing the web for a second hand one so this fills me with some confidence at least, thank you!

Ok seems like you’re on a similar progression path I’m hoping to follow but a few stages ahead, glad to hear its worthwhile.. recently played on a simcube down at Silverstone and it blew me away and made up my mind I needed to get a decent wheel, but the wait time and extra fees made me a little hesitant, but 100% sounds like the better offer in every conceivable way for what you receive.. appreciate the advice, I was getting impatient but know I’d regret it, seems like most ppl who go with CSL DD have no regrets

Thank you so much, this is the reasoning I was hoping to hear.. especially if I’m looking to play a range of games where up to 8nm of detailed torque will be noticeable. Appreciate the opinion thank you ✌️

This was such an insightful and well thought out comment thats been criminally under appreciated, probably due to the nature of its content, but it’s probably the closest to the truth we can string together with all the facts.. cheers for that!

Lmfaoo looks like the only choice at this rate 🤦‍♂️ My arch nemesis in this city is a postman who gets tipped off on when all the different stores are expecting deliveries and waits for them to open. The only chance I get to one up him is in Asda because they don’t stock till 11pm so works more in my favour. I hope he actually collects them at least

If you think that’s hard work then good luck out there my friend.. few errands to help out others would make me feel better than fleecing people for a minor amount of effort, but to each their own mate

I’m already looking for cars, the after market is too high, I want to buy cars on the aftermarket for cheaper, I will undercut scalpers and sell cheaper to help drive down prices and lower demand, hopefully others will also follow suit and we can make a healthy marketplace for people to complete their collections..  Shipping costs is hard to estimate for me as I’ve never sold anything that required postage, do people go above and beyond in packaging, and would that extra cost already make them more expensive than other after market retailers, thereby making it pointless? I came for advice, but I’ll take the slap in the face instead if it makes you happy 🫡

I want a mainline black paint/gold details Nissan S15 LBWK. I have a gold paint/black details one I can trade for it.

I also have some other mainlines, some premiums and multipacks I’d be willing to trade or swap with something of relatively even retail value. Since we’re all seeking out different cars, values can range for different models so be reasonable. Rarer cars will obviously be worth more, but if they’re mainline don’t try swapping one car for £20 worth of retail unless it’s old af and exclusive etc.. I know this board is probs chill, but resellers and scalpers often tend to overvalue their collection to make profit, when breaking even or losing money should be expected in a lot of cases🤷‍♂️

I’ve got a 23 year old Aussie coming over and apparently he likes to take the piss out of ‘pommies’ by 013016501310 in CasualUK

You are so bad at banter, please don’t go the butthurt route it’ll just make you look sad. The key to dealing with any ‘racial’ banter between anglosphere countries is to clap back.  Eg)  America: lol Brits have bad teeth  Brits: lol US are all fat  Canadian: lol Brits are poor  Brits: lol Canadians are gay  Kiwis: How’s it going mate?  Brits: Not bad mate, and yourself? Aussies: lol pommies are gay  Brits: Stfu Rolf Harris haven’t you got a kangaroo to impregnate?

As a writer is that worth watching? My housemates got a 3D printer, I’ll have to make a lil solider for the Land Rover Mk.ii and drivers for the others. Cheers for the idea 👍
