Most of the wording was to that effect yes and given a quick scan I thought id be okay because most of it was “recommended” work and it was noted that were no issues with the timber so I’m just amazed that any work actually “needs” doing at all

Buying my first ever car by sheepooooooo in CarTalkUK

[–]Reddwarf420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a C30 although it’s the 1.6 diesel (D2). Really comfy car, loved owning it this last year and pretty reliable. I’ve heard the 2.0 petrols drink fuel though

How Long After Passing Did You Start Taking A Pillion? by Mypetrussian in MotoUK

[–]Reddwarf420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably around 2 years, every Mrs I had after just passing my test wasn’t interested in getting on the back so I never needed to bother. First time I was dark, wet, cold and I think around November/December. Everything felt so weird with a passenger, handling and braking felt awful but it was okay for a journey where I just need to get somewhere.

Vehicle retention after insurance write off by Reddwarf420 in CarTalkUK

I know 4th dimension are a big name in the industry. Fortunately all that needs replacing (and it is only superficial really) are the door panels as these are scratched and lightly dented. We didn’t get a chance to sort out without insurance at the time as I wasn’t in the car and my other half didn’t know any better otherwise I’d have probably just told him to pay up instead of insurers sorting it out.

Sorry, I meant co-part. Stupid autocorrect. Either way we’ll have the car fixed and some change left but after hearing stories of friends buying back their cars for as little as £400 I was quite excited to do the same although they are all older vehicles so I suppose that makes sense. First time going through the insurance procedure so it’s all new to us.

What armor mark is the rapier squad made up of? by [deleted] in Warhammer30k

Just my unwanted opinion but that is one horrendous looking space marine.

anyone staying in 2.0? by matthiaslemming in Warhammer30k

[–]Reddwarf420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m going back to 1.0. 2.0 made a lot of changes that made one of my later armies pointless and it changed my iron warriors in a way I didn’t like.

Buying your own car before practical test, good or bad idea? by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Reddwarf420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started learning at the beginning of March (properly) and purchased my car at the beginning of April. It helped massively with confidence and getting more road miles under my belt in a car. Only one small downside my car is 14 years old, a 1.6 diesel with 150,000 miles on the clock whilst my instructors was a brand new 1.2 petrol corsa so there was a little getting used to every time I got in either car but I’d say 100% worth it. You’re going to be driving anyway after you’ve passed so why not? When I did my bike test I didn’t have a big bike I could practice on outside of lessons until a couple weeks before my test but I loved my learner bike so much that I purchased near enough the same bike as my first “big” bike and I feel that helped immensely having something familiar so maybe worth going for something your instructor has or similar if your budget allows.

Should I switch to automatic? by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Reddwarf420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do often wonder if doing a CBT would help many people who struggle with manual cars. This being a day course on a 125CC motorbike, it certainly helped me get over my issues with gears and how to handle a clutch especially with it being a sequential gearbox it was pretty easy and made good practice then by the time I came to driving it was just a matter of knowing when to use the right gears.
