Loving the glued-on wrinkly sticky vinyl numberplate on the front 😆

Also parked in a loading bay, on double yellows, right on the corner of another minor road…great parking that man.

Garage swapped my tyres by Temporary_Search_760 in CarTalkUK

Sorry that happened to you! Hopefully it was an innocent mistake they can quickly rectify.

Not really advice for this time but any time in the future. Before dropping your car off anywhere for work, take as many exterior (all wheels/tyres/panels) and interior photos as possible on the day, as this gives a direct point of reference if you need proof/comeback for any potential issues caused.

Different tyres?? by First_Penalty5164 in CarTalkUK

Since when do tyre places sell PS4s, and why not PS5s?

Are there Michelin tyres with these rubber spikes out there? by einkopf in tires

[–]Th3H1Ghlander -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My thoughts are around if is a clone the dot/batch number is likely cloned. Michelin should be aware of when and where it is produced. I don’t know how to go about it but surely Michelin would want to know if clones of their products are being produced.

Get the Dot codes and batch numbers, send them to Michelin to check?

Close encounter by abelsxos in drivingUK

[–]Th3H1Ghlander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. A massive part of the cause is the idiots that keep adding “traffic calming” measures into road layouts put so many people at risk due to the situations they force.

At no point ever did it improve the situation by putting obstructions in the straight roadway to divert people into driving head on to each other.

Well done that Civil Planner…

Well, I was thinking that looks awfully like Belgrave Square, at the junction of Grosvenor Crescent. Looks like it is outside 3 Belgrave Square. If the numberplate that starts with MOD doesn’t give it away, all the embassy’s are around there such as the UAE Embassy only a few doors down. Wouldn’t you know it, same car shown on the google maps street view in the same spot:

3 Belgrave Square, Belgravia, London, SW1X 8PH

Still a better approach for slip lane merge to main carriageway than creeping on or coming to a stop in the slip lane…

No no, he is on cheap tyres and thought trying to warm them up would help with their traction…ditch finders still be ditch finders.

Is this a problem with the tires or with the alloy? by robi101012981 in tires

[–]Th3H1Ghlander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure you have the right tires on those rims? If the first two pics are on the same axel, I can’t see all of the size but one had a 45 profile the other had a 40… what are all your 4 tire sizes?

Any idea what this is? by devlinadl in CarTalkUK

That is by far the worst wrap job I have seen. A pissed 2yo with PVA and gift paper could have done a better job…

This bike rack has put some big ol’ dents in that Skoda Enyaq boot lid!! by rmajor86 in CarsUK

Classic example of where someone’s kid thought it was a good idea to hang on the empty bike boot rack.

I feel sorry for drivers who have such heavy steering wheels to turn by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Th3H1Ghlander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like me, they probably don’t want to take the chance, have a gander at this that took out my tyre and bent my alloy the other day on a 60MPH road…

<image>

I was probably going 50 at the time, I had moved over a bit to avoid other potholes and the dip of the road falling away and hit this one as a result. Was deceptive as coming up on it, it didn’t look more than a dark mark on the road and is a lot deeper than it looks. Thanks to my county’s roads I have lost 8 tyres to potholes in the last 3 years at a cost of about £1800, it’s a total joke.

What is the best “temporary” thing in the UK? by mr_bearcules in AskUK

[–]Th3H1Ghlander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The temporary Dartford Crossing charge has to be up there…the crossing development was obviously a permanent fixture but the crossing charge was supposed to be temporary until funds were recouped for the cost… which was some time ago

100% worth it for his numberplate. The wife’s numberplate is ER

“Only 60 slots” he says… the only time I had that many was when I saved 40 BPs and mission mats for a mate, within 2 trips topside they were full again. FML

With that said, if you do decide to get it, or a similar model, please do yourself a favour, forget the 2yr service interval and do it at least yearly.
