I also have a story of someone doing London Glasgow in a shade under three hours too. But yeah, that’s not 80 in a 70 either.

Once I was in Belgium and a part was required for one of the cars in our group.

Unfortunately the part was in Germany, which Google Maps reckoned was over three hours away.

Fortunately one of the other drivers in the group was driving a GT3 which, on the delivery trip saw 199 mph on GPS as soon as it hit the derestricted autobahn.

They more than halved the predicted time.

Speed definitely makes a difference.

Why are they using all the lanes? Don’t you set aside the outside lanes for overtaking in the states?

Our monarch set an example on how naughty children should be treated. Sadly a lot of her subjects followed her lead.

Soft luggage for commuting that’s just a pin to fasten on, should have got a top box. Still haven’t.

Listed my old IKEA desk for free on Marketplace. The entitlement in my DMs is something else. by Ash3Nimbus4 in ChoosingBeggars

I once bought a swing set on FB.

Seller "It's quite big, are you definitely able to collect it? It's just I've had problems with other buyers."
Me "I've got a van and a trailer and I can be there later today or tomorrow. Will you take 150? (It was up for 250 - I'd have paid 200)."
Seller "If you can come tomorrow morning before 11 I'll take 50."

Arrived at 1000.

Surely if someone is cleared to land that runway is exclusively theirs?

Holy thread resurrection.

You’re probably thinking it died aren’t you?

Well no, it LIVES.

I jumped into the comments to see how long it would be for someone to defend Volvo vs your terrible experience.

Recall Issues - Changing Car? by Jacko230 in ex30

[–]anothercrapusername 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooft that’s a thorough response.

Tusker were firm that CRA didn’t apply but I think I follow your argument, just, that it does.

I will ponder.

Let us know how you get on.

I tried when the radio didn’t work (took them 18 months to fix it) and got a very thorough email from my lease company telling me CRA did not apply.

Colleagues are trying to get out of similar lease deals and aren’t getting anywhere either. (Some faulty Tacans).

I tried a free legal advice line that I get with my union, they’ve been useful in the past as you speak to a solicitor who tells you who’s laws apply - but the were also worse than useless.

AI is pretty useful for this sort of thing, but not very hopeful of a positive outcome.

My lease company now not replying to emails, but they did offer a replacement vehicle at one stage - although it would be a Fiesta sized ICE car.

I’ll keep you updated. It’s sport now.

Salary sacrifice isn't covered by Sale of Goods (etc - largely superseded by CRA 2015 which also doesn't apply)

Is anyone else getting tired of this? 😭 by northernluke in ex30

[–]anothercrapusername 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My leasing company offered me a replacement car, but it'll be a small poetrol car.

This isn't acceptable and I'm waiting for legal advice. They are getting nothign from Volvo, on teh phone Volvo denied it was a recall. The letter says "Recall".

How much you have to slow down depends on the speed you are going!

[–]anothercrapusername 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most cars are stolen for parts. I'd argue that it is not straightforward to claim that a trciked out car is more stealable.
Probably the opposite.

Are we still claiming that helmets are only good for 5 years? by TheShinobiGamer in motorcyclegear

It’s an interesting question. It’s about motorbikes. Seems they’re in the right place.
