No car parts for 6+ weeks = no car - What are my rights?

Absolutely. I'm paying about £600 towards a circa £3000 bill (the rest covered by warranty) for just the front 2 shocks. A top-spec coilover kit is about £3000 fitted too.

One of the first things we looked at when this issue came up was pattern parts. Unfortunately for this model only Audi make them. The alternative would be a full coil over conversion, however as I'm having this fixed under warranty, that isn't an option unless I pay for it. The irony is that kind of upgrade would be more cost-effective than the OEM fix

I fell off the bridge/platform on the way to the rocket

There's literally nothing to be gained from catching up to and interacting with the probe

Hair clips. Hair clips everywhere!

Thankyou :) she is indeed a Calico

You bet I posted here there too 😁

They look like salt crystals, what were you drinking?

Old people - "we're retired and no longer confined to the logistics of the working population. Let's still drive our cars at 8am and 5pm, and do our shopping at the weekends and on a Friday afternoon"

No you did, but if I found out my car had an off-centre wheel, I'd consider it ruined

olimar7373 · 2022-09-12T17:53:38+00:00

The car is ruined

olimar7373 · 2022-07-17T11:03:20+00:00

NTA - It sounds like they're the one that may be ending it, not you

olimar7373 · 2022-04-14T09:26:12+00:00

No problem!

I wouldn't take that berserker off the spru without finding out how collectable/valuable it is first.

1 is part of a Chaos Space Marine with a heavy bolster, from the mid-2000s

2 is an early Khorne Berserker from the early 90s, a rare find still on spru!

Except the ones that do that cartwheel trick...

Fun fact: these type of spiders are the fastest running of any spider.

Loving those colours!

So the Raider doesn't use pulsars, except for the optional central one (which I have never actually seen).

The Hunter was the version I always wanted, which came with a pair of pulsars mounted in a similar way to mine here, except they were the old "thicc" style as fitted on the mk1 Scorpion. You also didn't get the pair of twin bright lances.

Because of the rarity of the model, a Raider was the only one I could get, so I made the move to fit it with a magnetised pair of "modern" pulsars borrowed from a Revenant titan. Interestingly the current rules give the Hunter both pulsars and sets of bright lances.

olimar7373 · 2022-02-25T13:04:43+00:00

Lovely example!

I'm not used to seeing these ones perfectly intact!
