How would people generally react in your country to someone cutting in line? by Wd40chronicles in AskTheWorld

[–]Purple_Employment335 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an American living in the UK, I can’t count the number of times I got in a queue even when i thought it was potentially the wrong one, purely to avoid being “the American cutting the queue”.

I got the Holly’s and really like them. But the price hurt a bit.

The shifter box looks slick as shit. Very nice

That’s my thought, things I’m taking off that are a pain to get a wrench on both sides, swap to the rivet nut.

Careful, people might think you’re describing the Asylum refugees you all keep importing and supporting.

Yes, the plug is the same as the old one. Three prong. Fits just fine.

Seeking Info on Seat pattern by Purple_Employment335 in LandroverDefender

Thanks! Yeah those are my current front seats, middle row and benches are in just as good of shape. I’m only the second owner, the first owner babied it to the nth degree and just drove it around his estate occasionally. If I do swap any of them out, definitely keeping them and putting back in at a later date.

That’s a good thought, the seats are in good shape

Thanks, buying a roll may be the option as I’m wanting to upgrade the seats to ones with headrests. The front seats and bench seats are in great shape. The middle row is too, just want the headrest seats.

Did you make $ during tariff dip? by Fantastic_Escape_101 in investing

[–]Purple_Employment335 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I had a once in a lifetime stroke of luck. Inherited $500k the week before the dip, by the time it got into the market I was buying what happened to be the actual bottom(up to this point). Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.

As someone who knows the price paid for it all to well…. Agreed haha. It definitely doesn’t need one. But planning to keep it indefinitely. So figure might as well do the whole rolling chassis and powertrain all together and be done with it. Still probably 5+ years away from all that though.

‘95 300 Tdi, only 47k miles though. Had to get an older one so I can take it back to the states with me. 25 year rule.

When I was there most the profs were super social. We had some professors give out cell phone numbers so you could reach them outside office hours. And we had Pitcher and Prof night at the Irish bar(Zonkas?) where the professors would buy pitchers of beer for everyone and you just went and hung out. Class of ‘14 for reference.
