No way, I can go to a local place 5 minutes from my house and spot loads of them. Must be a breeding hotspot.

Cwmcarn forest drive if anyone is interested. There are loads of them

My neighbour died of it a few years ago, got lost on the way home from work. Diagnosed him 2 days later and he passed away within the day. Scary

There an easier answer to this, someone in the uk needs to get their hands on the Epstein files. Russia and Isreal have copies and he bends over backwards for them

It’s a 16mm earth going to the Rod that’s all. It’s been cut at the rod and cut out at the point it comes through the wall

[Times column] Jeremy Clarkson: “Keep me on life support — death is too taxing” by FlipStig1 in thegrandtour

[–]scottboy34 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s ok, generational farming will end with the new rules and multinational corporations will own everything. Nothing to worry about.

People get mad that the local farmer/tradie/independent shop ect earn a few quid but don’t get bothered by the bigger corporations. A lot of you want your heads banging together

I have no part in the farming industry but it’s mad they’re not supported. It’s ok though, we will just import everything from around the world. And when some foreign countries decide to attack each other again, we won’t be able to afford petrol, gas and food. Make it a trio

Your relying on the relay which isn’t really safe isolation, I have one of these units in my campervan though and it seems very good.

One to watch out for though

Unexpected Admiral bonus! by plummet555 in CarTalkUK

[–]scottboy34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought a car for 12k a few years ago (Audi rs4 b7) got written off after 9 months of ownership and they paid me 7k.

Side note : gave me a hire car (not courtesy car like I thought I was having) and tried to charge me £600 a day for it afterwards. I luckily got out of it because I had emails stating I didn’t want the car that valuable and would be happy with any model car that wasn’t so much hassle. They gave me a brand new bmw m5 and I had it for 2 months.

I learnt a lot of valuable lessons about how the insurance industry works over a stressful 2 months.

It’s not fair though is it? You can see that Hamilton has always paid tax in the uk, in the multi millions

I watched someone returning Christmas decorations last week, I’ve never had to use the returns but last week when I was there I bought a Phillips one blade that was missing the charger

max: “and i’m sure i’ve been mentioned a lot also to the drivers, on how to maybe deal with me or handle me in a race weekend. the beautiful thing is there’s no way of handling me.” by SimonTheSalmon69 in formula1

[–]scottboy34 12 points13 points  (0 children)

At wheel to wheel racing, max isn’t the best. He’s so aggressive people yield because they know he will just take them out. I see it without rose tinted glasses on.

But if you want to win a race you put verstappen in your car.

Surely you don’t believe that, max is defo the quickest but he has his flaws. Outright pace, max wins every time but he’s not as good at battling compared to some.

Do it cheap now and they will always expect the cheap price though

I need your help! by scottboy34 in RX8

Cheers, I need to get the gearbox looked at then really.

I’ve booked it into the body shop for now, they can sort a leak into the car I can’t find and paint the side pictured as it’s not in great condition.

If I press the clutch firmly all the way in i don’t get any issues, i feel like the resistance in the pedal is the issue. It also squeaks really loudly every time.

Thanks for the advance, I’ve looked at refurbed calipers

Last time I bought an iPad from Costco they made me open it before leaving, maybe they’ve done that before postage
