  1. Yes I did, not too handy for me as I'm in Aberdeenshire but just wondered on it as a business model.
  2. As the title says, The Test Centre; https://www.thetestcentre.co.uk/ offer no pass, no fee MOTs. So your car fails there is no fee and you take it away for a minor as possible repair and it fails again, so again no fee. How long can this go on before they say you're taking the piss? Great for decision making whether to bridge or not though.
  3. Does this look okay as seriously I have no idea what I'm doing?
  4. Drove a couple of these when new and found in the dark a following car's headlights bobbing above and below the spoiler drove me nuts.
  5. Auchinleck, I remember Currie's juice when I was a kid. Funny rubbery bottle stoppers.
  6. Jeez that is shite, not even like it's worked hard on a transporter. Have you found a solution for reasonable money?
  7. That fire engine conversion is fantastic, wonder if there is a door from the cab to the bedroom or whether it is actually a separate room? Unusual choice but it was probably cheap and well looked after.
  8. I actually priced Davanti All Season recently and they were not cheap, got Good Year Vector 3 cheaper. Few reviews on the Davanti but plenty of good ones on the GY
  9. That sounds very much like the blurb for Davanti tyres as well. Designed in Europe but made in some state of the art cheap factory in China.
  10. Little boxes on the hillside Little boxes made of ticky-tacky Little boxes on the hillside Little boxes all the same 🎶
  11. Looks good, is it heavy on the wrists with the flat bars?

    Cancer charity tipper, never carried a load.
  13. I bloody loved the Dukes of Hazzard and I was 17 when it started. I loved the, to my eyes anyway, Americanness of it. Fast, sexy cars doing stupid stuff with seemingly no repercussions. Land of the free! Obviously as I was 17 daisy was also a major attraction.
  14. Willi Betz still exist but are being squeezed by the Romanians, Lithuanians and Turks who will do International Spedition cheaper. Norbert Dentressangle sold out to the yanks, XPO Logistics, in 2015.
  15. That'll be in the hours I haven't tried them for.
  16. Cheaper and waterproof tend not to be good bedfellows but if you can find anything using actual GoreTex you are in with a hope. I'm currently using a pair of faux lace up Spada boots and they seem OK in a downpour but haven't tried them for hours. Best I ever had were Sidi black rain from years ago.
  17. That must have been an absolute twat if you ever had to reverse.
  18. You've had experience of some of these horsey types then 😉
  19. Anyone any good at reverse Googling as she does look familiar?
