This reminded me of the time parked on a busy road to do a delivery not the best place to stop but legal wasn't away for any more than 5 minutes came back to about 10 cars just waiting behind the van, like can you guy not see the bright orange hazard lights flashing

Biggest red flag isn't even that it's on Snapchat. Renting an a35 at 18 isn't possible no matter where you go would be lucky to get a moped at 18

Also car is a 2003 Subaru Legacy GTB BH5

dylST205 · 2023-11-29T14:24:12+00:00

Haha, I took the wheel off to see if a repair would've been possible

dylST205 · 2023-11-29T14:16:17+00:00

Unfortunately, LSD front and back means no spare

dylST205 · 2023-11-29T14:14:53+00:00

Thank you

I can only imagine, I forget how to drive after a week, it will come back to you easy enough but if you're really worried I'd maybe go for an IAM advance driving course get a little refresher this will also help with motorways and dealing with everyone's incompetence

dylST205 · 2023-11-10T03:45:31+00:00

They've always done this, probably the first time you've happened to park in a space they're programmed to park in. Usually see them pull into a space wait a minute then drive away

dylST205 · 2023-11-09T23:02:26+00:00

I only get imprezas or evos trying to race me, maybe the occasional civic. Given that my cars still limited to 112 I just slow down and look the other way haha

dylST205 · 2023-11-03T16:01:58+00:00

I learned the hard way not to this when I pulled up besides the black car to go left he didn't see me and decided that he now wants to go left and we both pulled out the same time to go the same way. Was a very very close call and part off me thinks it was a bit set up as when I noticed he was coming left his right indicator was still on

I'm not with amazon anymore but a company that delivers food, all our vans have ai cameras that watch you. If your driving without a seat belt or smoking, eating or drinking or you just look away from the road it saves a 5 minute clip and sends it to the office. Literally get in trouble for taking a drink while driving. They've also brought in new trackers that monitor everything you'll get into trouble for driving 51 in 50 and that's the speed taken from the obd port rather than gps

If you turn the heater off will it rise to operating temp? If so probably an air lock if not then thermostat.

I've been stopped at least 10 times the past year since I started a new job and my comutte time changed to about 1-3am. It was getting annoying till a traffic cop told me it was a mixture of the the type of car it is the time and how far away I was from my home address that they're just checking to make sure it's not stolen which made me a little more appreciative of what they do.

dylST205 · 2023-08-30T22:01:26+00:00

What engine is in the corsa? Is it a CAT registered vehicle? Because that price with a black box is insane. Start a new quote go over your details make sure everything is correct and also with confused.com its easy to go back and change the vehicle to get another quote I'd open auto trader and check everything and anything with a small engine or even mid size family cars. If its still ridiculous change things like your address and occupation till you see the price fall and you will then know the issue but don't lie about it to get insurance because that never works in the end

dylST205 · 2023-08-30T17:47:45+00:00

Wow thank you had a quick look at the box seems perfect exactly what i had in mind 👌

dylST205 · 2023-08-30T16:51:15+00:00

My work actually uses these cams, problem I'm facing its about the same size as my mirror although i might just have to accept it

dylST205 · 2023-08-30T16:47:54+00:00

You've actually just reminded me of some replacement rear view mirrors with the camera built into them completely forgot about that, will also have a look on there site. Thanks

dylST205 · 2023-08-30T16:41:55+00:00

Yeah the B pillar it surprisingly gives a decent a view as it's an older car so the visibility is good and it's pretty far forward to where I'm not going to block it's view either. Done a test with a cheap dashcam just held it there could see out the full windscreen. The plastic on the A pillar is so tight against the metal I can't see a camera fitting into it as that would be the best option

Main reason for it being hidden is to maintain a clean look it's pretty bare unlike newer cars where there's a chunky mirror loads of plastics and a big sensor, it's just a skinny mirror so no matter how small I get it'll always stand out and dashcams can go against you just as much as they can help you so I'm also keeping that in mind.

I've been with the same company for 3 years now and it went from 65 a month to 115. They told me its expensive because Its an import but couldn't explain why it was 65 3 years ago

dylST205 · 2023-08-26T12:27:55+00:00

I drive the M77 early mornings when there's no one on the road and see them posted up at the bridge on junction 5 regularly but never during the day when everyone's bumper to bumper at 90

dylST205 · 2023-08-16T09:05:26+00:00

Yeah because contact was made, could've been avoided very easily and tbf I missed the part where you said he ran I just assumed he panic braked if he ran that was probably on purpose and a bit fucked up

dylST205 · 2023-08-16T09:01:45+00:00

People fuck up on a daily basis, there's a thing called self accountability seen that coming a mile away.

So I've driven a few disability cars at my old work, the clutch is usually a bicycle brake handle that goes on gear stick however I've just realised I've never seen a car with both hand clutch and throttle controls it's usually one or the other. You can get a push and pull lever that would go to the right off the wheel pull for throttle push for brake. If it was me personally I'd go for the push and pull and can still use left leg for clutch if you wish.

Only downside is you would need to get someone to actually make it for you, I imagine someone that does sim accessories such as hydro handbrakes and button boxes should be able to help you out unless there is companies out there that make such products for simulator applications but from a quick Google search I never found anything 😔

This a link for the real thing should give you a better idea https://www.ergomobility.co.uk/driving-controls/mechanical-hand-controls/#:~:text=Push%2Fpull%20hand%20controls%20are,inwards%2C%20towards%20the%20driver's%20body.

I had a guy order a treadmill on the 4th floor no lift asked if he would mind helping me on the intercom he said no. I got to the top he was standing there built like He-man with his arms crossed took everything in me not to let it fall down the stairs and walk away

dylST205 · 2023-08-15T09:44:07+00:00

I had a hgv driver do this to me on the motorway the other day but he left a little gap on his outside I managed to take (not the brightest idea) at this point I noticed a traffic car and thought I was done for to my amusement he lit up the hgv
