QUOTE (Strafin @ Jul 5 2018, 11:15 AM) We have loads of smart motorways where I live and I travel on them all the time. Nothing Smart about them, they are a complete waste of time and money and are just as congested as they were before. Safety wise, if there is a breakdown they just close that lane and it happens almost immediately so I wouldn't worry too much about that. The idea of smart motorway is to increase traffic flow by adding another lane. But people can't drive in 3 lanes correctly, let alone 4...... like you say it ends up just as bad as it was before. |

QUOTE (Turin Machine @ May 16 2018, 06:01 PM) I agree, even the back roads in France are better than most A roads here. Still driving that golf?? No I got rid of it. Been building this for the last 4 years : CT-2094-(ZF-6182-13377-1-001)-1 by Fat Bear Photography, on Flickr Got 395hp from a 2.0 TDI Now it's in a million pieces on my drive with no dashboard, doors or wings . We went to the Nurburgring in April. What an experience that was. |

QUOTE (spartacus @ Mar 18 2018, 07:00 PM) Whatever happened to Vbird...... the waffling tit that he was....
Ah, those were the days.... nostalgia ain't what it used to be.... The one I remember most was "Nothing Much". He was brilliant! Where's he gone? QUOTE (Strafin @ Mar 16 2018, 12:42 PM) No mate it hasn't. I come on for a bit of argy bargy now and then. It gets delivered back to me swiftly and then I bugger off again for a few weeks. Come back, same dozen or so people fighting with themselves and Simon! All good fun I suppose!! QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Mar 10 2018, 08:56 AM) And to you. How's the car? As expensive as always. Pushing for 400hp, I barely drive it now as I have a little Ford now as well, and as I work from home I tend not to go out for weeks at a time.... |

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ May 13 2017, 06:30 PM) Can anyone confirm if the reception is particularly patchy around here? Took my new Range Rover back to the dealers last week to have the radio and antenna in the back checked out. They say there's nothing wrong but I'm not so sure, anyone else having problems as they drive round West Berkshire? I've checked the website to see if any transmitters are down but nothings showing. Anyone? That's a true first world problem. I have a Fiesta and the DAB works fine on that. Can pick up KISSTORY and Radio 1X without issue. But I use Spotify most of the time. |

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ May 12 2017, 09:50 AM) What's he got?? QUOTE (Andy Capp @ May 12 2017, 01:18 PM) A metal thing with wheels and headlights. Not really sure it would be fair of me to say. But it was from Europe, saloon, is quite rare, but not pretentious. I've only seen a few of them around. |

QUOTE (spartacus @ Dec 14 2016, 12:13 AM) Brave you. We need pioneers such as you to Beta test this technology for us all. Personally, the idea of paying £65k on a car is ridiculous. Especially when you are in effect carrying a blast bomb in the boot with 5kg of hydrogen stored in a tank at a pressure of 10,000psi. Still, if it wasn't for the likes of you we'd still be riding round on horses. Or like carrying around battery acid. Hydrogen cars are the answer. Battery powered car are a pathetic, poor, short-term workaround. |

QUOTE (user23 @ Dec 15 2016, 09:46 PM) Given the last new user joined getting on for two years ago, it's unlikely they look at it much these days Can't really blame them. This was a good forum with good debate once. Now it's just a few old men arguing. |

QUOTE (x2lls @ Oct 8 2016, 07:46 PM) And there you have it. FFS, we all live on the same planet!!! Ummm, yes , but I'm sure you'd moan if everyone from another planet decided to turn up on your doorstep and dump their crap. I just don't see the problem. If you live in Reading using the Reading tip. If you live in Newbury use the newbury one! I do not know, and do not care, for intricate details, but as an overall scheme, restricting you to tipping in your most local tip, I see no issue with that. |
