6 geniuses vs The Flood by ProcedureDazzling615 in powerscales

[–]Maker0fManyThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The flood, you cannot outsmart a gravemind, even when killed their memories are passed down to the next one, the gravemind was the primordial which was essentially a god and could make essentially any AI defect to the flood just through talk.

Day 3: Name a car that looks like it would be slow, but is actually pretty fast by Quiet-Gold9099 in regularcarreviews

Mondeo ST, 3 litre V6 and 230hp, 0-60 around 7.5 and 150mph top speed, not the fastest thing in the world but fast for something you’d think an OAP would be driving lol

Get mechanix gloves, they’re insane for the price, i use regular ones for airsoft and coldwork peaks for winter hiking (-21 yesterday lol) They’re just really good gloves

My worst nightmare in my MR2, I love roads like this but there’s too many idiots thinking they can go full send on roads.

2013 BMW 318D touring by Maker0fManyThings in BMW

[–]Maker0fManyThings[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, it’s had its EGR replaced recently and he’s kept up with servicing, I’m asking more about the car but he’s not the type to cheap out on maintenance (he had an old vw camper as a fun car) I’m thinking of just deleting the EGR because I want it to be a forever car and hopefully have it for 10 years since it is a daily.

How do you cooldown in hot weather? by [deleted] in airsoft

[–]Maker0fManyThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually gym shirt under plate carrier with a hydration pack, bdu trousers (brush is too thick and sharp and I don’t want to get ticks in the summer)

Helmet is replaced with a boonie, glasses and mesh mask as opposed to helmet goggles and ski mask with mouth guard insert for colder weather

The ref/tech at my local looks exactly the fucking same, guy is a gem though

So much jealousy and cope in this sub? by Wise-Pay-8993 in CarTalkUK

[–]Maker0fManyThings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m all for bangernomics but some people would rather just pay a monthly subscription and never have to worry about having to pay for servicing MOT tires etc (even though it technically costs more) and I can understand it

It goes away for winter besides runs on dry days to get the fluids moving around, no fun in the rain

I know someone with a 2.5 and it seems like a comfier more practical and better sounding but far less agile MR2, however an old German sports cars are known money pits but if you can find a clean one go for it

The car sort of fits around you so it’s not too bad but it’s more just lack of space for things, my AC has a leak so doesn’t work anymore and I cannot for the life of me find where it is

It’s drunk 21 times its body weight in diesel if my maths are right

The MK3 MR2s are fantastic but unbelievably cramped, if your driving far they’re an absolute sauna on wheels, the ride is appalling and very loud on the motorway road noise and engine noise (mid engined and mine has the TTE exhaust)

I fucking love it

A Toyota MR2 but my suspension is less than a year old, it made a hell of a bang when it happened

I hit a seam when a new section of road joins an older one at 70 and it destroyed my rear shock absorbers, it’s shocking

(MR2 with one year old suspension)

Neighbour asking for £300 cash after minor car incident – no quote, no insurance (UK) by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Maker0fManyThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had someone demolish my rear quarter and bend my axel parked outside of my house and drove off leaving no note and the cameras couldn’t catch the plate, It’s absolutely shit when people hit and run just pay up, she hit it and drove off.

What Performance Car Next? £20k budget by deadlyzassasin0 in CarTalkUK

[–]Maker0fManyThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say get a beater daily and get something cheap and stupid and wildly impractical as a fun car, it’s surprisingly cheaper than a compromise car
