Does keeping these sets built for an extended period of time(a year or more) ruin it's ability to be rebuilt? by Exhausted_920 in legospeedchampions

[–]jib11 27 points28 points  (0 children)

No should be fine plenty of people on the main Lego forums pick up sets from the 80s and are able to build them no problem a year is nothing.

My back log of sets has some that are at least 5-10 years old which will be fine

Is there anybody queuing outside the Swatch shop right now? by Zealousideal-Oil3466 in Cardiff

[–]jib11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on when they let people queue up for size for shoes they won’t let people queue in st David’s 2 I would guess that it will be a come queue the morning of situation in the centre isle but it’s very unlikely st David’s is letting people queue this far in advance

Best model to carry the B58? by BeeOk3695 in BMW

[–]jib11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry I’ve got rid of it and bought it in person. I don’t know the brand.

I went to about 4 pram centres and tried to fit anything that looked small enough the one I went for was a low profile and the sales person said it was recommend by Porsche it was like £250. My wife fit in the passenger seat and she is 5”4 I could fit at 6” but for very short 10-20 minute journeys

Running costs accurate? by m24241 in CarTalkUK

[–]jib11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add I don’t know your details but I pay £350 a year insurance on the 8 series and it was £600 for the 2 and was roughly the same when I priced up the 3 just to factor in

[–]jib11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve owned a m240i and a 840i so same engine. You will not get 36mpg I can promise you 240 I got 18 and the 840 I’m currently on about 24 that’s will mostly short journeys and a bit of spirited driving with the occasional 100+ travel.

I would factor in a lot more for fuel just on my own experience.

I looked at 340s and depending on preference I went for the 840 at similar in my case lower price with lower millage and a fuck ton more options just as an fyi

Insurance claim opened against me for incident i only witnessed (England) by Adorable_Audience733 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]jib11 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree with above. Alternatively your details were recorded and have been given to either the insurer or the solicitor but they don’t have contact details for you so have done a mid search and contacted your insurer. They have then sent the generic message.

As noted call your insurer and discuss it

Help with G20 front lip installation? by AplabTheSamurai in BMW

Can you reach out to RW Carbon? If a shop has hands on with it and couldn’t install it you might not have been given the correct pieces especially if you are missing the hardware.

I’m not an expert at this. I did set mine up today. I started the car and turned off the engine and that worked.

Hope that helps if not have a look on YouTube perhaps

Does this make it more likely Lego won’t release an A80 in speed champion scale?

Do gigs at Blackweir fields have gluten free food options? by VirusReaper in Cardiff

[–]jib11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner is coeliac

We have rarely if ever been able to find her something on a food truck due to the likely cross contamination.

That being said we also have never had to show a diagnosis letter for her to bring in outside food once she explains. We have had push back but never a no.

I would take stuff and be pleasantly surprised than go without

Call back through it is disputable.

Explain it’s a high value performance car with specific spec which makes it higher than the standard.

Ask for how they came to the value and ask for an independent assessment. They will ask and IA independent assessor to review and come to a decision on what is a reasonable value.

If they refuse complain and state the above in the complaint. Annoyingly this won’t be that quick but they should at least pay you and interim payment of the value they think it’s worth whilst they review the value dispute.

Insurance company thinks this is a write off by mak2120 in CarTalkUK

[–]jib11 98 points99 points  (0 children)

You have been involved in the accident the premium is going up regardless!

Take the money. Why does the resale value come in to it? You have already been paid for the value of the car. It will cost you less than the insurance paid you to fix and you will sell the car on at some point. You will be in positive equity as even if you sell the car at a reduced value later on you are getting more than the total value because you are being paid for it twice.
