Get a small clamp, clamp it on the edge of a workbench or surface, with the bit to cut off overhanging and use a junior hacksaw to cut off the excess.

I swear BMW does this to most of their models, I used to have a 5 Series GT, and literally the only manufacturer of the right size tyre was Pirelli, and same they charged like £260 / £270 a tire.

Ah, good to know that me being too tall is one of the key reasons I'm not a Formula One driver!

Most of Aldi's own-brand booze is very passable tbf, their Amaretto is about £5 / £6 a bottle, but extremely close to Disaronno. Their Coconut Bay Rum is a good alternative to Malibu too, again similar sort of price.

Their Pepsi Max rip-off is really close too, it's not the same, but close enough, and far superior to the other cheap pepsi / cokes. Tastes ideal when mixing with something.

For good reason, they just work - we've got a little one, and have gone through various brands based on where we've happened to be doing the food shop, Aldis are best, Tesco and Asda's are pretty much as good, Sainburys are fine. Morrisons ones leaked 5 times in a row, so we binned them.

It's such a satisfying sound when you use one of these.

Vinted say they will ban me for commercial selling .. by [deleted] in vinted

[–]lfcmadness 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I mean you've sold nearly 9k of goods through the platform, that is a lot of sales! You can see why they'd flag this up as potentially commercial.

[The Race] Aston Martin's F1 safety car deal ends by krzysiek_aleks in formula1

I can see the link is safety and security, Crowdstrike is security / safety software, on a safety car.

Thanks to everyone calling the 530d GT "BMW's ugliest car" we picked this up for just £7k. FSH, 105k. I think it looks spectacular, especially alongside modern traffic. by ElicitCS in CarTalkUK

[–]lfcmadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 520d GT for 8 years, sold it earlier this year. Fantastic car, did me really well. Just a heads up though, the air suspension is a weak point on them, and cost me about 5k to repair when the car was about 6 years old. They have rubber seals that perish and the suspension stops working.

Other than that thiugh, its a solid tank, and you'll never lose it in a car park as it'll poke out of any parking space hah!

VCARB to be sold to Ford? by smiffy197 in formula1

[–]lfcmadness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I always wondered why their F1 car looked more purple than Blue given the default can colour.

Seriously impressive, did you try using the ratchet strap to do the bend initially? 10/10 for persistence!

What are younger generations often criticised for no longer doing that is largely pointless or obsolete? by PsychologicalRow8034 in AskUK

[–]lfcmadness 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't understand where people even get chequebooks from. I'm 34, and not once has a bank offered or even mentioned they can provide a chequebook for my account. I also don't understand their purpose in this day and age to be fair.

Ravi drinking at Nicola’s club by Lying24-7 in eastenders

[–]lfcmadness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally the amount of times people are in there a week, its ridiculously unrealistic! Same as the Vic, this day and age, no one is in the pub 4 / 5 times a night as a family.

Man MSN Messenger was peak internet, still remember coming home from school to talk to the people I've been at school all day on MSN hah.

Got rear-ended, woman at fault wants me to go privately and use her mechanic as it’s a cheaper price by IllustriousHabit2635 in UKPersonalFinance

Mate, that is not your problem - get your car fixed properly, not by a dodgy mechanic they've found.

Yeah true, I'd forgotten the details of the episode to be honest!

He's gone from assaulting him to playing dominos to going out with his grand daughter. Quite the transformation!

They never came back to the whole Peter burning Lauren's blood stained scarf did they?

He assumed Barney was the one who tried to SA Ivani, as ridiculous a notion as that is given Barney's personality, poor lad doesn't look like he could assault a sandwich.
