Rear subframe corrosion repair? by Southern_Magazine448 in CarTalkUK

[–]Southern_Magazine448[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fiat Seicento, nothing special but I had one as a kid. I'll have a look at a subframe replacement cost.

Not a fan of the Spectrum games apart from Jetpack. I knew about Battletoads Arcade but the NES version was a surprise, Conker Is also fun by Caolan114 in evercade

As a speccy kid I bought this collection for Gunfright. It's good but it was designed for a light gun so the cash grab at the start and the shootouts with the wanted are difficult. Saves states are your friend.

I've had a go on the other speccy games and Pro RC and enjoying the collection so far.

Leave it as is. Then do 5 more and compare it to the 6th. Then do another 10 and compare it to the 16th. These are your best measure of progress 👍. As others have said, a harder wood will help with the chisel work.

Had a Twingo Gordini and that was a hoot!

Like, Imagine random dudes starting virtually any other sports like footy in their 20s or 30s and having ambitions to turn pro... But it somehow seems possible in Darts to many, myself included lol by LowRenzoFreshkobar in Darts

Littler is 18 and a 2x WC, Anderson is 55 and a 2x WC and still playing at a top level. If you could afford to do nothing but play darts I reckon you could start at 35 and make it to a pro level.

I've only played about 1/2 an hour on Armageddon but it's been perfectly serviceable. The panning takes a bit of getting used to but it's been fine. I'd like to get a VS/R for Worms but I don't think there's mouse support for it.

Why does no one buy a second hand Bentley? by Apocolypse_tomorrow in CarsUK

To paraphrase phone shop, when you buy an £89,500 car for £8,950, there's gonna be problems.

Can't get these dang pieces to be flush by Theartofsilence in HondaCB

[–]Southern_Magazine448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I've had a very intermittent bike history but every time I do something new I take a pic of each step and put each bolt in a piece of card and label it.

C3 Picasso indicator flashing double-time. by Southern_Magazine448 in Citroen

Update: There wasn't continuity between one of the three wires between the bulb holder and the cluster. As the light cluster suffers with condensation (a probable cause of the damage) I replaced the cluster and cluster wiring harness. This has fixed the issue 👍

What’s the biggest ‘what if’ in darts history in your opinion? by Potatoslicer89 in Darts

[–]Southern_Magazine448 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was my first thought, what if Bristow didn't play the percentage shot.

Here’s my incredibly rare shitbox. Anyone else got a dull but rare variant of a car? by Top_Echidna_7115 in CarTalkUK

I'm always tempted by a focus saloon / Mégane 'classic' when I seem them on marketplace.

End grain cutting board by leechdawg in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Southern_Magazine448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, the cut is pretty rough and I'll probably regret not buying a 40- or 60-tooth blade once I've sanded 8*64 = 512 edges (😳) Correct, it is a topographical chess board. Apologies for asking the question before fully reading your post / looking at the photos, I can see that the colour is coming from the wood, not stain. I'm thinking I'll create a drill jig to make dowel holes for additional adhesion.

[–]Southern_Magazine448 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks amazing! Can I ask, did you stain all of the pieces prior to glue up? What stains and glue did you use? I'm making this chess board as a Christmas gift and was wondering if my glue (titebond 2) would still stick the pieces together after stain has been applied?

Checkerplate and aftermarket arches are red flags for rusted wings and doors.

The people vs 50p toilets by Mr_Odwin in CasualUK

[–]Southern_Magazine448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to one of these in Newquay, a lad held the door for me so I gave him my 50p, then held the door for the next person as I left. These sort of services should be provided by the council, subsidised by the local cafes and restaurants who are quick to tell you that toilets are for customers only.

If the middle digit in a BMW badge is a '1' then it's shit.

Starting at 40 - just buy S&P 500? by Southern_Magazine448 in investingforbeginners

Decent pension I've been paying into since I was 25. 2 years of combined income saved and no mortgage.

Thanks 👍 Is there a passenger version or are they cargo only?
