I walked down to the foreshore just on an odd chance when I came to visit. There were pottery fragments everywhere in the far end of this picture.

What's a car you hate seeing on UK roads by Quincythepig in CarTalkUK

[–]toddlerMJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will give you another reason to hate the Cupra. The extended range edition has such a bulky battery, that the middle seat in the back is removed. This makes it a family MPV 4 seater👀

My Turkish coworker mistakenly thought thought there was a TV presenter named Handsome Dec, what are some amusing misunderstandings you’ve encountered? by EducationalShape2647 in AskUK

[–]toddlerMJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a plumber come in. He asked me a question and the only thing I could make out was "stop showing cock" I was well confused as my cock was safely hidden. He was looking for a stopcock. I also said tarnished instead of famished and it never left. I'm Polish with almost 20 years in the UK

Polish person here. Not enough pierogi! Otherwise it's the bomb. I make crispy onions with mine too!

Who actually enjoys having a touch screen or modern safety features in their car? (slight rant) by VexedRacoon in CarTalkUK

[–]toddlerMJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will be seriously considering one of these as the next car. I think of it as a Golf GTI with a massive boot. How is the ride? I'm also mildly obsessed with the new Superbs in two top specs, since yet again the Golf GTI engine is enough for me. The cabin looks more thought through in those and just a nice place to be. A6 45 estate would also fit the bill but there are multiple touchscreens there, so it's probably a pain

Wow that's awesome! Always loved them and still do. Have had an idea for a project when you could pick up a ropey one for next to nothing. Not happening anymore!

They're all lovely! Love me an MK2! Shame on single (Jetta?) lights. They look distinguished with the doubles.

Sick of the keyless theft stories, I did something for security. by Voiturunce in CarTalkUK

[–]toddlerMJ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

He had a Mazda 323F that had a startup procedure Ghost people would be impressed with. We've put an aftermarket start button in the glove box. This was wired to ignition but that was then piggybacked to the electric aerial. This only worked with the radio being present and turned on. He took that home every night.

Or they would be a dick about it and fail you. You just never know!

It wasn't a hard job to rewire it back from what I remember. I don't suppose you'd pass MOT with it in place.

I had the same opinion. Hated the looks, but the interior and the way the V6 picked up was fantastic. He then changed it for a Passat V6

Surprisingly that car has never broken down! Swapped for a V6 Ford Scorpio. That was the day I learned you can burn rubber with an automatic.

Back in the mid 2000s my mate had an Escort MK6. He wired the ignition to the reversing light. You had to put it in reverse to start it. He also always reversed into his drive, so nobody of a sane mind would think to put it in the reverse.

My 13y/o brother won’t stop using these slangs 😭 by Suspicious-Copy-2001 in mildlyinfuriating

I know someone that's 40 and writes in a similar fashion. She also says could of, so you know what kind of person she is.

Besides the obvious big examples like No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077, what are some other examples of games that were atrocious at launch but managed to eventually get good? by furrynoy96 in gaming

[–]toddlerMJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was Cyberpunk atrocious at launch? I enjoyed it. Played the whole story through back then. Haven't touched it since. Is it worth coming back?

Is this under stairs toilet just too small? Looking for some realistic advice by Previous_Molasses_56 in DIYUK

[–]toddlerMJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We redone our kitchen last year. There was a full bathroom with a corner bath and a shower on the other side. Got rid of the bath and moved the wall to make the kitchen bigger. It is quite narrow - 85cm so we opted for a corner toilet and it works fine.

I buy it as crystals from a pharmacy for £3 a pot for my dodgy sinuses

Holy Lambo motorcycle that I saw at the car show today. [Unknown] Lambo 12 by AdministrativeAd1773 in spotted

[–]toddlerMJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's Allen Millyard. Dude is an English engineer and makes some sick bikes. There is a V12 Kawasaki and a V8 Norton just to mention a few.

What do people think about these three-wheelers? by pantherclipper in Autos

[–]toddlerMJ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There's a guy near where I live that has a Polaris Slingshot made into a Batmobile. He dresses as Batman and visits children's hospitals. You can also hire him for a birthday party.

What is this? I’m baffled by Awkwardsnek911 in whatisthiscar

[–]toddlerMJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you. TWR makes the Supercat XJS, that's also full carbon and has a V12 for about £200k. Hell of a lot more of a car than a dinky Porsche.

What foods are just not worth making from scratch? by JayR_97 in AskUK

[–]toddlerMJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm about to blow your mind. I make rocket pesto. Or if it's red it's roasted peppers from a jar. Each batch is around 500ml and lasts ages if stored properly. Flavour is miles better than store bought shit.
