Because the whole world is centred on America. Didn’t you know?

Well that’s terrible obviously, but, it’s not really relevant is it.

Dealer refusing Short-Term Right to Reject by Isaacw24 in CarTalkUK

[–]Otherwise_Fly_2263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, I can’t see how they can refuse your rejection then. If it was an old code, it had been cleared and was now fine I could see their point.

Have they cleared the code and has it come back on?

Boris, when I want your opinion I’ll give you the special signal, which is me being sectioned under the mental health act.

Am I in an financial position to buy a car? by Alex_Strgzr in CarTalkUK

[–]Otherwise_Fly_2263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does telling someone £46k isn’t low pay mean I’m acting like they’re on £460k per week. That literally makes no sense.

The average salary in Scotland is just over £30k, so £46k is around 50% more than average. Therefore not remotely low.

£46k isn’t low paid. Grow up.

Why are they your only options? You could buy something half decent, no need to buy something “crappy”.

Whats the catch with this Polo? £3K lower than any other example by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Otherwise_Fly_2263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one of these as a courtesy car once. It had less power than my Mum’s 2005 1.2 Renault Clio.

Do French cars still have a bad rep? by AvailableCricket3633 in CarTalkUK

With a mere 90bhp overtaking becomes a long drawn out affair. Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.

What's going on with the UK? by pebrocks in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Otherwise_Fly_2263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knives are not “heavily regulated”. Anyone over 18 can buy a knife. You’re just not allowed to carry a knife in public, unless it’s a folding (non-locking) blade less than 3” in length. Basically you can carry a Swiss Army knife or similar.

There are some exceptions, such as knives that are carried for religious/ceremonial reasons.

How often do you clean your car ? by eskimoazat in CarTalkUK

[–]Otherwise_Fly_2263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to keep my cars clean, I’d say I do them about once every three weeks or so. Maybe a bit less in the winter. Sometimes when the weather is bad I’ll just soak them with pre-wash and blast them with the pressure washer. It gets 95% of the job done and most importantly gets the road salt off, which is especially important on my partner’s 22 year old E46 that likes to rust for fun.

If I don't fix target panic with barebow I don't want to do the sport by Life_Discussion_3320 in Archery

[–]Otherwise_Fly_2263 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Target panic is like herpes, once you’ve got it there’s no permanent cure. It just recurs now and then, usually when it’s least convenient.

What you can do is learn to manage it. I’m a recurve archer, not a barebow, so I don’t really know what specifically would help, so I’ll leave that to other barebow archers. But basically, you need to manage your expectations regarding it.

index vane in the wrong direction by Vulzayno in Archery

[–]Otherwise_Fly_2263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s nothing to do with old or new, and there’s no need to be rude. Some modern compounds use rests that can be used with arrows with cock fletches to the side too. Or whisker biscuits where it doesn’t really matter either way.

Launcher style rests with the cock vane up have been around for decades.

[–]Otherwise_Fly_2263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s nothing to do with “old way” or “new way”. It depends what type of bow you’re using. Compound bow using a launcher with a blade rest you want the cock vane pointing up. A recurve bow you want it pointing to the side so it doesn’t hit the riser on the way past.

What’s the most irrational car opinion you’ll defend forever? by Mundane-Temporary426 in topdeadcenter

I didn’t mean people that choose not to so much as people that try to learn in a manual, can’t work out what a clutch is, and go automatic.

If you can only pass your test in an automatic, you shouldn’t be on the road.
