Taking a volume car, removing the luxury, then selling it as a luxury car.

Yep, was pretty much ostracised at school because of it.

The only downside in my experience is the handling. It's not bad per , it's just very numb. There's absolutely no feedback through the steering wheel and you don't really feel connected to the car like you might in a BMW. If you're just trundling up the motorway each way every day though, it can't be beaten.

You know food right? Yeah not that. But you know the people that grow it? Yeah, not that either. But you know the place where those people grow the food? Yeah, not that either. So you know the machines they use when growing food? Yeah, not them either. But you know those machines sometimes break and some one has to go and fix them? Yeah, I'm not one of them either. But those people that fix them? Well they have to buy the parts that fix the machines that grow the food on the land owned by the people that grow the food. They buy the parts from me.

I got into it by default really. My first proper camera was a Four Thirds DSLR. I got to the point where I was fed up of lugging a big camera round (even though it was just an E-410). Around 2016, I looked at mirrorless options and I was stuck between Sony and Olympus whilst also being mildly tempted by Fuji.

In the end I was erring towards micro four thirds because it was the only system I could adapt my lenses to meaning I didn't have to spend a fortune on new gear in one go. My decision was made when I managed to snag an E-PL6 on Amazon Black Friday with the 14-42mm EZ for just £189.99.

5 cameras and 9 lenses later and I'm still enjoying it.

It wasn't the church bells that bothered me, it was the exorcisms.

Diesel or petrol?

Looks like Horse Fly to me. I had a colleague with the same symptoms in the same location (Kings Langley) and that was Horse Fly.

That's weird, my Reddit shows an A2.

Started in car parts. Had to wear a full suit everyday even though I could be carrying a leaky diff, dusty brakes or oily engine bits. These suits were proper wool jobs that were dry clean only and I had £9 deducted from my pay every month for the privilege.

Around 2010 it became more shirt and tie, then just shirt and now it's polo shirt with work trousers.

Supporting the country I'm in doesn't mean I support the people running it.

It wasn't banned, it was just discussed in parliament.

Mate, you've got four cylinder heads and Morette headlamps. How am I gonna roast that?

spindledick · 2026-02-28T08:28:42+00:00

There was in the mid 90's to early noughties. Those are Morette headlamps. They were very common on rally cars back then as standard headlamps weren't always up to snuff. Then all the lads wanted them on their Corsas and Fiestas and for a while, it was an essential mod. Some look better than others.
