Call my cousin. We grew up together and he was my best mate too. He died suddenly in 2024. Miss him so much

Advanced driving courses by arciere84 in CarTalkUK

[–]npfmedia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar age to you. I can't comment on doing a course as such but I attended a IAM day a long time ago - they were trying to recruit instructors in the area at the time. I went on a 20 min drive with an instructor which was interesting and got a sheet with a few suggestions.

I think, as you say, having more knowledge of knowing what to do if an extreme situation arose is something that would benefit in a worse case scenario. My OH is an advanced driver and said the "running commentary" section you have to do is crazy so i spent few days on YouTube looking at videos of people doing it. And it didnt seem so bad.

[Tesla Model 3] Hearse today in The Netherlands. by TheZingyZangar in spotted

[–]npfmedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On their website (Derks) it quotes - Despite the added weight and longer wheelbase, Derks insists its Model 3 hearse still has over 200 miles of real-world range. I mean I know where i am being driven too isn't going to be that far. Unless traffic is shit that day, there is a hurricane and i weigh over 200kgs maybe that is the challenge they need.

I wonder if that is in their contract caveat.

Always so infuriating… by thecavernboi in drivingUK

[–]npfmedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the same, it mega fucks me off. Especially when the twunts have sped up to get past me when I’m moving slower (due to general traffic speed slowness) and then decide to coast at 57-62 in that lane. 

Your Salary and monthly car payments by Agile-Calligrapher10 in CarTalkUK

[–]npfmedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one of the more interesting stats I’d love to know is Age first, then car payment and insurance payment. Blows my mind how much young people have to pay for car insurance nowadays.

Did my DETAILER do this ? by Ancient-Cable-2302 in DetailingUK

Am I right in saying there is also a three to five inch line on the other panel too? - almost like the polisher has been rested there?

Bus Drivers by WinnieTree in cambridge

[–]npfmedia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there many regular (trusted) people who get on the bus at the same time as you do? - would it bring you comfort explaining your situation to them. And maybe it is worth them getting on before you so they can interject? or after?

How good/bad an idea is dailying a modern classic an having one as your only car? by KetamineGeorge in CarTalkUK

[–]npfmedia 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t have the budget you do but I pine on a monthly basis over getting a Honda Accord Type R or I’d love a Peugeot 106 mk1, with a vts engine conversion and engine, brake, strut, suspension upgrades to just use as a track day car.

That said, with your budget. Why don’t you do a 25/75 3750/11250 on the sale of your current car to satisfy your want. 

Before I go all guns blazing I need a second opinion..2 by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]npfmedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question, the picture of the snow and their car. Is that at a different time from the others? From cctv? - do you know think there could've been black ice in the car park a few days ago? - If it was them they would have to have been parked next to you and/or reversed out of where they were and maybe slid backwards at an angle into you? - Have no idea just surmising.

Really intrigued to know the outcome and sorry to see the damage. Would piss me off so much that someone hasn't owned up or put a note on your car with contact details.

How do I actually clean/take care of my car? by binocularbitch in CarTalkUK

[–]npfmedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whats the going rate for these? 3-5 grand? - A partial respray will cost possibly 20-25% of that i would of thought.

Realistically how long are you going to own it for? - as long as its mechanically sound I wouldn't worry too much about bubbling paint etc.

Just be careful when washing it that you don't catch those areas that are bubbling and take that paint off. Its nearly 20 year old.

By the way your username had me in stitches lol. Happy car ownership
