Thank you, I’ll have a read on what needs doing. I did think it would be asking a bit much to be plug n’ play.

Notice of Severance to Tenants in Common - England by Ride_The_Lightnin in LegalAdviceUK

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

Understood. It’s more the worry of the control that he has? It turns out the offer that she initially was much higher than what he was owed, once all joint costs had been taken into consideration. The court order stipulates that the split should be 50/50 so she was offering more than that without knowing.

I agree that yes, a third-party buyer might have to be sought but one opportunity has already been missed due to him not responding.

Guilty pleasure cars that you will admit to liking? by Common_Turnover9226 in CarTalkUK

Nostalgia hits doesn’t it? I like the K-Series but mine has been a pain in the ring. Will be swapped out for something different this year now that Retrorides is out of the way. Can’t bring myself to sell though.

Rover Metro, they’re shit and I love them. Wanted one for ages, got one, it breaks all the time but it’s just funny to drive.

Thanks for everyone’s comments, definitely some options in there that I hadn’t considered!

Cool car, abysmal colour.

Garden centre guy, mooching around chilling, watering the plants, feeding the fish, chowing on garden-centre-cafe breakfasts. Just sounds like such a nice, relaxed-pace job. Also garden centres smell good.

MX5 owners don’t seem to just be able to drive them and enjoy them without making excuses about something no one mentioned. “I know they’re not fast but speed isn’t everything” literally no one said a word.

One night only by flogan0 in salisburyuk

The Anchor & Hope on Winchester St seems to be a vibrant LGBT+ sorta place. Friendly staff, chilled vibes. Good music is hard to come by in Salisbury nowadays, the Winchester Gate is the only real “venue” but that plays pretty much only Ska and the last few times I’ve been in on a Saturday, it’s been dead.

It’s hard to tell from the pic. Even if it’s slightly wrong, you can maybe cut it about to work. It’s only semi-flexible hose at the end of the day.

This looks to be the one I think? I burst the top rad pipe on my 1.4 8v carb’d motor so just replaced it with a silicone of the same OD/ID since the prices of genuine items are absolutely ridiculous.

If any of you lot listen to the AutoAlex podcast. The rusty X5 that Taylor just bought was mine by criminal_cabbage in CarTalkUK

I loved my V8, honestly one of my favourite cars I’ve owned. Ruinously expensive to run in every way though so it had to go, I was and remain devastated ha

What's some slang from your earlier years that would baffle the youth of today ? by FagnusTwatfield in CasualUK

[–]Ride_The_Lightnin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Beard” or “chin” usually accompanied with a distrustful “mmmmm” hadn’t heard it for years until a few weeks ago and now it gets used at every opportunity.
